In particular, it is essential that text be # canonically encoded with each line properly terminated with # . Any transformation of text into non-canonical MIME to # observe local storage conventions must be reversed before sending # as BINARYMIME. The usual line-oriented shortcuts will break if # used with BINARYMIME. nohdrencoding # Don't do MIME part 2 (RFC 1522) encoding for 8-bit headers? # Because 8-bit data is not allowed in headers, # it is STRONGLY recommended that this is left set to OFF noheader # when messages are copied into the outbound buffer, don't include headers? noheaderfwd # when messages are copied into the outbound buffer, don't include headers? # when forwarding # (Notice that messages are not copied to outbound buffer when # mimeforward = ON titles # display message title when displaying pages of message? savename # save messages, incoming and outbound, by login name of sender/recipient? forcename # save outbound messages by login name of sender/recipient even if the # associated folder doesn't already exist? movepage # when using the page commands (+ - ) change the current # message pointer...? pointnew # start up by pointing to the first new message received, if possible? signature # ".signature" file to append to outbound messages... localsignature # local ".signature" file to append to appropriate messages... remotesignature # remote ".signature" file to append to appropriate messages... sigdashes # do we want dashes above signatures?
