This will take you through IN SUBJECT ORDER (not in order of posting). NOTE: Occasionally the filereader will say that there are more unread messages than there really are. This can occur if messages have been deleted. When you are reading a long message, LuBBs will stop after each screenful or at a spoiler char (`). A prompt will be displayed, asking you if you want to see more. If you type 'N' or 'Q', LuBBs exits from showing the message. If you type 'D', the display will scroll through half a screenful of the message. Pressing SPACE, RETURN or 'Y' will cause another screenful to be displayed. You can also press a number key to see that number more lines. A record is kept of which messages you have read, and this is only saved when you logout from LuBBs. If you are cut off, or forcibly logged off, this record may be lost. The commands offered to you will depend on what you are allowed to do and the state of the reader. A brief summary of commands can be obtained by pressing the '?' key. More detailed descriptions follow. Key Function --- -------- A Message admin menu (see separate help page) B Backwards one message in order of posting C Catch Up, marking as read either all messages you haven't read or just those with the same subject as the current message D Display current message again E Enter a new message (see separate help page) F Forwards one message in order of posting G Goto a specified message number. The default for this is to goto the message that the one currently being read is in reply to. Sometimes this will cause the current conference to be changed i.e. the message you are reading is in another conference to the one it is a reply to. H Hold message(s) as unread holds either the current message, messages with the same subject or all messages in a conference as unread so that they will be presented again as new for reading.
