[nos-bbs] Questions related to JNOS 1.11f

[(Skip) K8RRA]

Good evening Misko, It seems that your mail issues have not "gone away"?
I also see Barry's response that I can add nothing to.
I have a documentation topic, not a direct answer.
It is more exploratory...

I am preparing to live aboard a boat for 3 to 5 years, this feature is a
wonderful tool.
Allow me to suggest that mail greater than <size> should in fact be
received but not forwarded.
This permits small mail to be retrieved on board at HF speeds sooner,
and large at VHF/UHF (Internet) speeds later.
If the old mail has mold on it - I'm OK with that...

Of course that presupposes I can perhaps change a remote forwarding
partner configuration and he has large mail storage available...

Now for the documentation:
I have interest in how you configure for the features you want, remember
"show & tell" in early schools?
To the purpose of passing on wisdom for jnos2, I created a wiki for our
community / it does not compete with [nos-bbs] or any developer or any
version of nos.

As an experiment, I extracted your Feb 27 mail with attachment to place
in the ConfigHFile page because it added to the knowledge of that file
for your circumstances.  I did it without your permission thus I will
immediately undo my experiment if you desire.  To me, your example
seemed to fit...  You may inspect it any time to draw your conclusions.

To the point of this mail of yours, you may feel it needed to modify
your work I have used after you complete your objectives.  At any time
if you do, please feel free to edit it directly yourself (or send me
update).  I welcome your future learning if you want to share it.

Good luck with your mail forwarding and other configuration choices.
I hope you find my experiment OK with yourself.
Thanks!
