Minimize To System Tray
Since QSA allows you to leave it running and getting mail at periodic intervals, you may wish to remove it's button from the task bar. Ticking this box moves the program icon to the system tray. That's the portion of the task bar to the right end, with the clock and other icons.
Hide Proxy Selectors
The reason I put selector boxes for News Account and Proxy is for the user who has multiple accounts and/or proxies. The selectors make changing
these items very convenient. Possibly you don't have more than one account or proxy. In that case, you can choose to hide the selectors in the main window. Accounts and proxies can still be selected in their respective dialogs.
Notify QSL after copy to clipboard
In case you are using QSAam with QSLite, ticking this box will send a notification to QSL that there is a message waiting on the clipboard. QSL will respond by initiating a Clipboard/Reply for the user. Either a Password Dialog, or the Template Dialog will appear in QSL automatically. This feature is simply a notification. If QSL isn't running there is no notification sent. If QSL somehow misses the notification or it wasn't running, simply click Clipboard/Reply to initiate the reply manually.
If this feature is enabled and you are using a client other than QSL, no
notification is attempted. NOTE: Before the message is copied to the clipboard,
a Nym: header is inserted at the top like this:
Nym: George Jones <gjones@nym.mixmin.net>; type=ghio;This header gives QSL the info it needs to process the message correctly. The message in it's entirety is always copied to the clipboard.
Retrieve Mail Periodically
I considered it very important to provide timed periodic downloads of the mail. By doing this you'll be able to keep up with the flow of new messages into a.a.m. In the future, the traffic may increase considerably, and just running the program manually from time to time may have you waiting quite a while for new messages. By setting a value of, say, 30 minutes between downloads you can keep up-to-date with a.a.m. Then you're free to take a look at any time for new mail that may have arrived. Using the timed retrieve, you'll most likely leave the program running 24/7. If that's a security risk, you can still have periodic downloads while you are at your desk and simply close the program when you aren't present. Set this value and QSA will automatically begin with periodic retrieves whenever you open the program.
Max NNTP Log Entries
QSA provides a log of the NNTP conversation between the client and server. This log can be found on the program main menu,
View menu.
