| Use Outbasket
|
|
|
| When Use Outbasket is selected, XanaNews doesn't post messages straight away when you send them. Instead it puts them in a special folder called the Outbasket. You can post them later by selecting 'Send Outbasket' from the Tools menu.

| Maximum Line Length
|
|
|
| Set the maximum line length to determine the point where XanaNews wraps lines of text it posts. Some newsgroup specification recommend a maximum of 72.

|
| Split Post with More than 'n' Lines
|
|
|
| Some servers require that you split posts into two or more messages if they have more than a certain number of lines. This is especially common when posting messages with large binary attachments. XanaNews will automatically split the post into messages - "Subject [1/3]", "Subject [2/3]", "Subject [3/3]".

| Text Format
|
|
|
| You can set various text formats in XanaNews. If in doubt leave it set to NNTP.
|
|
|
| · | NNTP
|
|
|
| The NNTP format is the original, basic format for posting to newsgroups and it is probably still the most commonly used. It supports raw (US-ASCII) text and, attachments as specially encoded (UUE) blocks.
|
|
|
| Note that if you select a Default Character set, XanaNews will automatically use MIME-Raw instead of NNTP.
|
|
|
|
|
| · | MIME - Raw
|
|
|
| MIME - Raw is automatically used in preference to 'NNTP' if you specify a non-USASCII character set. All text is sent as raw 8-bit characters encoded using the character set you specified. Attachments are sent as Base-64 encoded MIME attachments.
|
|
|
| · | MIME - Flowed
|
|
|
| Uses the 'flowed' format for sending text. This allows the original paragraph format to be recovered, while also supporting older newsreaders that require a maximum line length.
|
|
|
| · | MIME - Quoted Printable
|
|
|
| Uses the 'Quoted Printable' format for sending text.
