  • Improvements to email att

    From deon@VERT/ALTERANT to Digital Man on Sunday, September 03, 2023 12:16:00
    Hey DM,

    I'm using sychronet more for "bbs" related email, and I had a user send me an email with 10 screenshots (and thus 10 attachments).

    Since I'm away from home, I dont have POP enabled, and leveraged a terminal to download the attachments to look at them. (That all worked well.)

    However, after *each* attachment I was asked if I wanted to hangup after it being received. I also didnt know how many there were, and at one point I wondered if it was looping. (It wasnt.)

    I wondered if it was possible to some changes, I was thinking these three things:
    * Can all attachments be sent as a batch, thus one answer to "yes" that I want to download them, and one answer to "no" dont hangup.

    * Is it possible to display how many (and I guess how big) the attachments are?

    * If batch is not possible, can the ask to hangup be only asked once?

    you might be the first sysop ever to get an email from a user with 10 screenshots/attachments. that's pretty much against email etiquette.

    I would tell the guy to send one zip archive instead.

    i think it's a decent idea to send it all as a batch but that's it.
