The following keys are available from this screen:
"Blindly" forward the current message. The message is resent without adding any additional comments, or changing the sender's name. Cone prompt for the recipient's name, or names, and send the messages without changing the message's headers in any way (additional headers may be added by the mail server, of course).
Mark this message as deleted, then advance to the next message in the folder.
Forwards the current message. Cone opens a screen where a new message may be written. The current message is either saved as an attachment to the new message, or is quoted in the new message's text (Cone prompts to choose one or the other before opening the new message screen).
Toggle between displaying abbreviated mail headers, and all mail headers.
Return to the folder index screen.
This option closes the folder index screen, and returns to the folder listing screen.
Pressing M closes this screen, and opens the "Main Menu" screen.
Advance to the next message in the folder.
Advance to the previous message in the folder.
This option creates a reply to the current message. Cone may ask a few questions before creating a reply. Cone knows how to format replies in three different ways. Not every format reply is available with every message. No questions are asked when only one reply format is possible for the message. Cone asks when more than one reply format is available.
Proper selection of a reply format is only possible when the main menu's setup screen is initialized with all applicable E-mail addresses. The available reply formats are:
If one or more of the recipients of the original message are mailing list addresses, the reply is addressed to the mailing list addresses only, ignoring any sender or carbon-copy addresses.
If the message is addressed to or from more than one address, excluding the user's address, the reply is addressed to all original senders and recipients, except for the user's address.
The reply is addressed to the sending party.
Show the next page, like PgDn. If the last page is already shown, advance to the next unread message in the folder.
This options shows a list of E-mail addresses from the message, and offers a quick option to add the addresses to the addressbook.
Remove the deleted mark from this message, then advance to the next message in the folder.
This command opens the screen with a list of attachments to the current message. This is the "View Attachment" screen. It is a very simple screen: each attachment is listed, giving its MIME type (the type of the attachment), its approximate size, and the attachments's description, if provided.
Plain text attachments may be viewed individually, by pressing ENTER. Press S to download and save the highlighted attachment. Use I to return to the folder index screen, L to return to the folder listing screen, and M to go back to the main menu screen.
When GnuPG is installed, highlighting an attachment that contains GPG/PGP keys and pressing ENTER imports the keys. Cone prompts for a confirmation, then runs GnuPG to import the attached keys. Some versions of Gnu require a special procedure for importing private keys. Cone's prompt has an explicit private key export option. With other versions of GnuPG this option doesn't matter. Selecting the default import option will import whatever keys were attached, public or private.
When running in an X-terminal, highlighting an image attachment and pressing ENTER displays the image in a separate window. This is done by running either Gnome's eog, or KDE's kview image viewer. Cone's manual page contains instructions for installing hooks for viewing other kinds of attachments, or using a different image viewer.
Pressing W opens the "Write Message" screen. This is the screen where a new message can be typed, and sent. Cone checks for any unfinished messages in the Draft folder, before opening this screen. If the Draft folder contains any messages, Cone offers an option to resume writing an unfinished message, instead of starting a new message. Cone automatically saves a backup copy of the current message being edited, at regular intervals, so that a backup copy can be recovered in the event that Cone is interrupted, or terminated, in a middle of editing a new message. If a backup copy exists, Cone announces the existence of an interrupted message, and prompts to resume writing the interrupted message. An interrupted message must be opened and either: sent, explicitly cancelled, or saved in the Draft folder; before another message can be written.
