normster Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: ""MIndate"???" 01-22-03, 18:35z  Can one of youse geniuses out there tell me exactly HOW one should use the MINDATE routine? I know that the function is described in the HELP file and what it is supposed to do. But I didn't see any information on HOW one should use the function. I can see what its effects are during the log-in cycle. But I wonder how often and when the MINDATE date should be changed. Any hints out there?

The MINDATE feature was created to help those that don't log in regularly or are away for a long period of time and are faced with a huge download of backlogged messages when they return. Setting the MINDATE to something closer to the present date will restrict downloaded messages to those that are dated after the MINDATE setting. > Regards to all from the Chief Lurker LOL! HTH!

vgbaron Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: 2. "RE: "MIndate"???" 01-23-03, 16:38z  Hey Norm! Glad to hear from you. Ben pretty much described what the "mindate' is for. The OLR will not download any messages posted prior to the mindate. In normal use, after the initial setup, you don't need to change it if you check in on a regular basis. If you were away for a while and didn't want a long download of missed messages, you could set the mindate forward and only download from that date forward. HTH, Vic Of course, I could be wrong. I thought I was wrong once before, but I was mistaken. -= VPC OffLine Reader 2.1 =- Registered to: Vic Baron -OLR.PL v1.80- Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

The > OLR will not download any messages posted prior to the > mindate. sorry for being late with the reply. To be precise, the decision isn't made based on articles, but on threads. If a thread hasn't been changed after "mindate" it will not be considered for download. If it contains at least one article posted after "mindate", the whole thread will be downloaded.
