System name: jabberwock(relates to all terminals)
Type and version: RTPC-ROMPC 7.3P (1 update(s) to same version)
Display type: apa16
What were you trying to do?
log in
What's wrong:
when told that my server was down, a window popped up informing
me that anything that I did including inc'ed mail would be destroyed, and
I wouldn't be able to re-inc the mail letter.
What should have happened:
this message should have been modified somewhat to follow modifications
done on the new system
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
I don't have them with me, but in update information for general
users of the Athena system said that the new system would not truncate
mail inc'ed during a session with using a temporary folder. I bet many
people never learned this, and still worry about looking at mail when
their server is down.
Thanks for looking this over @;)
Happy '92!
