1. Introduction
================

 After searching for a progam of this kind in various ftp nets for
 quite a time (without success), I decided to write it myself.

 I recently decided to turn to Mail Manager by Pino Aliberti, since
 I think it's very much better than Foozle, the tosser I was using
 before.

 You probably wonder what this program is for. Well, didn't you notice
 how long it is to archive messages, storing them to files? I felt
 the need for something veeeery fast & totally AUTOMATIC for storing
 messages I want to keep.

 Here it is!

 The original version was written for Foozle, and then converted for
 use with Mail Manager v1.0+.

2. Archive Contents
====================

 In this archive you'll find the following files:

         # MMSTORE       - The program
         # MM_STORE.rexx - The Arexx part of the program
         # MMSTORE.doc   - The documentation
         # MMSTORE.guide - This AmigaGuide documentation
         # Girls.txt     - Read it, read it...

3. Usage
=========

 When run, MMSTORE stored the current message in a directory assigned
 as MMSAVE: . So, FIRST OF ALL, assign MMSAVE: to a directory on your disk,
 and change your User-Startup so to have it assigned on Startup.

 The messages will be stored in 3 different ways:

     # By Sender name
     # By Receiver name
     # By Area name

 So, depending on how you will run MMSTORE, you will find in MMSTORE: a file
 with the sender name (eg. "Dario_Pistella"), the receiver name, or the
 area name (eg. "MATRIX"). There you will find the message(s) stored.

 Remember that MMSTORE will append messages to previously existing files.

 - First step: assign MMSTORE: di the directory where you want to keep
               your messages, and modify User-Startup

 - Second step: put MM_STORE.rexx to mm:rexx/directory

 - Third step: edit MM configuration. Call CUSTOM menu, and in Browse
               Window, add 4 entries, as follows:

               * Store by Sender
               # Shortcut  1
               - Command  <path to MMSTORE>/MMSTORE %a %n 1

               * Store by Receiver
               # Shortcut  2
               - Command  <path to MMSTORE>/MMSTORE %a %n 2

               * Store Auto
               # Shortcut  3
               - Command  <path to MMSTORE>/MMSTORE %a %n 3 <Your Surname>

               * Store by Area
               # Shortcut  4
               - Command  <path to MMSTORE>/MMSTORE %a %n 4

               Save the configuration.

               By pressing Right Amiga-1, you will store the message by
               Sender in MMSAVE:

               By pressing Right Amiga-2, you will store the message by
               Receiver in MMSAVE:

               By pressing Right Amiga-3, MMSTORE will decide for you:
               that is MMSTORE will get the <Your Surname> clause and
               check if it appears as a Sender or Receiver, and then
               it will get the other one as the name for the file.
               In this way, you will be able to store threads very
               easily!

               IMPORTANT: don't insert SPACES in the <Your Surname> clause!
                          because of a little bug in MM Config Manager

               By pressing Right Amiga-4, you will store the message by
               Area in MMSAVE:

                                  THAT'S ALL!
