# Preferences

Note: The buttons at the top and bottom of the screen are common to all the preference screens.

- The top row contains the preference categories:-
  - General - including confirm logout and whether or not the welcome screen should be displayed.
  - Display - concerned with the appearance of the interface.
  - Compose - includes settings for personal name and whether a signature is included or not.
  - Extra Compose - (this screen)
  - Folder - options concerned with the use of, and actions on, mail folders.
- The bottom row controls the duration of the changes:-
  - Cancel immediately cancels any edits.
  - Change for this session applies only to the current session.
  - Change for this and future sessions applies for each session until the change is altered.
  You are returned to the Account Management screen after selecting any of the choices.

## The individual preferences

In the screen above the Webmail default preferences are shown.

- Use sent-mail folder - when this is checked a copy of all mail you send is saved to the mail folder you have named as your Sent Mail Folder. The default is `mail/sent-mail`, the choice is set in the Preferences -> Folder screen.
- Skip quoted text on spell check - when this is enabled the spell check will ignore quoted lines which start with < characters.
- Line wrap on reply - wraps the text of the message to which you are replying if, after inserting the quoting characters '> ' at the beginning of each line, lines are longer than the setting in Line Wrap at: below (default 76 characters).
- Line wrap on spell check - wraps the text of the message as part of the spell check action.
- Line wrap on send - wraps the text of the message as part of the action of sending the message.
- Enable manual line wrap options - if this is enabled then extra line wrapping options appear in the Compose screen. These can be used in conjunction with the automatic options above.
- Line Wrap at: - controls the number of characters (columns) which can appear in a line before the line is wrapped. Many people use an 80-character window, so 76 allows a good fit.
- Normal Compose window size - controls the size of the text body area visible in the standard Compose screen.
- Large Compose window size - controls the size of the text body area visible if the Large button is selected from the standard Compose screen.
- Spell Check language controls which dictionary is used. At present the only languages are British English and American English. The choice of which language affects several aspects, for example the use of -ise rather than -ize for words such as "itemise". It is hoped that future releases will offer more languages.
