The following keys are available from this screen:

/

  This option Prompts for search text, then searches the currently shown message for the first occurence of the entered text. The search begins starting with the first line shown on the screen. To search the entire message, make sure that the beginning of the message is shown on the screen.

B

  "Blindly" forward the current message. The message is resent without adding any additional comments, or changing the sender's name. `Cone` prompt for the recipient's name, or names, and send the messages without changing the message's headers in any way (additional headers may be added by the mail server, of course).

D

  Mark this message as deleted, then advance to the next message in the folder.

F

  Forwards the current message. `Cone` opens a screen where a new message may be written. The current message is either saved as an attachment to the new message, or is quoted in the new message's text (`Cone` prompts to choose one or the other before opening the new message screen).

H

  Toggle between displaying abbreviated mail headers, and all mail headers.

I or <

  Return to the folder index screen.

L

  This option closes the folder index screen, and returns to the folder listing screen.

M

  Pressing M closes this screen, and opens the "Main Menu" screen.

N

  Advance to the next message in the folder.

P

  Advance to the previous message in the folder.

R

  This option creates a reply to the current message. `Cone` may ask a few questions before creating a reply. `Cone` knows how to format replies in three different ways. Not every format reply is available with every message. No questions are asked when only one reply format is possible for the message. `Cone` asks when more than one reply format is available.

  Proper selection of a reply format is only possible when the main menu's setup screen is initialized with all applicable E-mail addresses. The available reply formats are:

  Reply to a mailing list

    If one or more of the recipients of the original message are mailing list addresses, the reply is addressed to the mailing list addresses only, ignoring any sender or carbon-copy addresses.

  Reply to all

    If the message is addressed to or from more than one address, excluding the user's address, the reply is addressed to all original senders and recipients, except for the user's address.

  Reply

    The reply is addressed to the sending party.

SPACE

  Show the next page, like PgDn. If the last page is already shown, advance to the next unread message in the folder.

T

  This options shows a list of E-mail addresses from the message, and offers a quick option to add the addresses to the addressbook.

U

  Remove the deleted mark from this message, then advance to the next message in the folder.

V

  This command opens the screen with a list of attachments to the current message. This is the "View Attachment" screen. It is a very simple screen: each attachment is listed, giving its MIME type (the type of the attachment), its approximate size, and the attachments's description, if provided.

  Plain text attachments may be viewed individually, by pressing ENTER. Press S to download and save the highlighted attachment. Use I to return to the folder index screen, L to return to the folder listing screen, and M to go back to the main menu screen.

  When `GnuPG` is installed, highlighting an attachment that contains GPG/PGP keys and pressing ENTER imports the keys. `Cone` prompts for a confirmation, then runs `GnuPG` to import the attached keys. Some versions of `Gnu` require a special procedure for importing private keys. `Cone`'s prompt has an explicit private key export option. With other versions of `GnuPG` this option doesn't matter. Selecting the default import option will import whatever keys were attached, public or private.

  When running in an X-terminal, highlighting an image attachment and pressing ENTER displays the image in a separate window. This is done by running either Gnome's `eog`, or KDE's `kview` image viewer. `Cone`'s manual page contains instructions for installing hooks for viewing other kinds of attachments, or using a different image viewer.

W

  Pressing W opens the "Write Message" screen. This is the screen where a new message can be typed, and sent. `Cone` checks for any unfinished messages in the Draft folder, before opening this screen. If the Draft folder contains any messages, `Cone` offers an option to resume writing an unfinished message, instead of starting a new message. `Cone` automatically saves a backup copy of the current message being edited, at regular intervals, so that a backup copy can be recovered in the event that `Cone` is interrupted, or terminated, in a middle of editing a new message. If a backup copy exists, `Cone` announces the existence of an interrupted message, and prompts to resume writing the interrupted message. An interrupted message must be opened and either: sent, explicitly cancelled, or saved in the Draft folder; before another message can be written.
