Hey DM,ããI'm using sychronet more for "bbs" related email, and I had a user send me an email with 10 screenshots (and thus 10 attachments).ããSince 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.)ããHowever, 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.)ããI wondered if it was possible to some changes, I was thinking these three things:ã* 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.ãã* Is it possible to display how many (and I guess how big) the attachments are?ãã* If batch is not possible, can the ask to hangup be only asked once?ãããã...ëîåïãã---ã þ Synchronet þ AnsiTEX bringing back videotex but with ANSIã
