It is possible to request the
Ishmail program
to perform certain
whose effects are irreversible, such as permanently deleting a
mail folder or clearing the contents of the current Composition
window. To make
Ishmail friendly to use, these actions cause a
pop-up window to be opened that requests you to confirm that
you
really want to perform a certain action.
Experienced users of
Ishmail may become annoyed, however, at
seeing a confirmation pop-up window when their answer to the
question
always is "Yes, I know what I'm doing."
The
Confirmation Preferences window lets you selectively disable the
confirmation pop-up windows for various actions.
Actions that can be selectively confirmed include:
- Quit and Exit
- Do you really want to quit (or exit) from
Ishmail?
- Save changes during exit
- Do you want to save changes to folders before exit?
- Folder type for new folders
- Which type (UNIX, mh, or MMDF) of folder do you wish
to create?
- Folder deletion
- Do you really want to delete a folder?
- Sending messages with no subject
- Do you really want to send a message with no subject
header?
- Sending messages with an empty body
- Do you really want to send an empty (null) message?
- Clearing the Composition window
- Do you really want to lose everything you've typed in the
window?
- Closing the Composition window with unmailed contents
- Do you really want to abandon this new message?
- Sending a message as plain text even though information will be
lost
- Do you really want to lose MIME data when this message
is sent?
- Mailing text that contains 8-bit characters as plain text
- Do you really want to send a message without encoding,
even though this means some information may be lost
along the way?
- Deleting inclusions or attachments in the
Composition Window
- Do you really want to delete included data, with no
chance for undelete?
