        It's sufficient to specify one of the above headers (the correct
        one, of course), then *Fidolook* will act itself. The headers that
        were put to the label from the *Fidolook Headers* window are
        deleted.
        
        /FL-Draft-Attach/ - here you can specify one or several files to
        be attached. The separator is a semicolon(;) or a comma (,).
        _For example:_
        C:\SL diagnostic report.txt; C:\SL.exe, C:\report.zip
        In addition:
        1. You can specify a folder - in this case all files from the
           folder will be attached.
        2. You can use * and ? symbols to find files (as in system dialog
           Search) corresponding the conditions defined, e.g.:
        c:\SL.* - all files named SL with any extension will be attached;
        c:\*.txt - all txt-files will be attached et cetera.
        
        /FL-Draft-Charset/ - specify charset as type: koi8-ru or utf-8 or
        iso-8859-1.
        
        Generally speaking, these headers are artificial. As time goes by,
        the corresponding tabs will be added to the templates, with more
        options.

Q2.19   Why does *Fidolook* cut the first and last paragraphs of the
        source message while answering? How to avoid it? Also, sometimes
        when I press the "Reply" button, I see only several lines of the
        source message (and it has more than 10 lines :-( ) - so, actually
        the quoting doesn't work. Are there any ways to correct it?
A2.19   It looks like you have _GoldEd like quoter_ as a default quoter.
        In this case, the first paragraph is considered to be a greeting,
        and the last paragraph - a signature. To turn this off, go to
        /Templates(Ctrl+7)->Golded-like-color-quoter/ and turn off the
        option /[ ] Suppress greeting and signature./

Q2.20   Why do they answer my e-mail?
A2.20   _VP_: Many people, that write to fido-newsgroups via Demos gate,
        may notice, that fido-answers to their messages are frequently
        addressed not to a person, but to its e-mail ("Hello,
        vasya-JGs/[email protected] !"). It may annoy you. But don't be offended by
        people writing from FIDO and their soft.
        As a rule, it's not their fault: many echo-hubs use ifmail as a
        mailing soft. This program derives the author's name from the
        kludge @REPLYADDR, and not from the header From:. And in
        @REPLYADDR header created by gate, there's only a e-mail address,
        without the name.
        
        So, if you don't want to see e-mail instead of your name in
        answers to your messages, you should add a new header
        /X-FTN-REPLYADDR/ with a default value: %cacceml (%caccuser) to
        all templates you use for posting to newsgroups.
        
        If you use "plain" *Outlook Express*, you can just add your e-mail
        (without name!) to the field Reply-To in your news-account
        properties. But the first way, which uses X-FTN-REPLYADDR, is
        preferable.
        
        In the aforecited cases the kludge @REPLYADDR created by Demos
        gate (2:5020/400) will contain your name and e-mail.

Q2.21   I'd like to see something like "On Wednesday, September the 1-st,
        ... " in the greeting. How can I do it via using templates?
A2.21   _AN_: That's an example of the template:
        %if (%match(%cWWWR,mn))%then(On Monday)
        %else(%if (%match(%cWWWR,tu))%then(On Tuesday)
        %else(%if (%match(%cWWWR,we))%then(On Wednesday)
        %else(%if (%match(%cWWWR,th))%then(On Thursday)
        %else(%if (%match(%cWWWR,fr))%then(On Friday)
        %else(%if (%match(%cWWWR,sa))%then(On Saturday)
        %else(%if (%match(%cWWWR,su))%then(On Sunday)
        %else(It's not known when))))))),
        %cMMMMFR the %cDDDDFR of the year %cYYYY, when the clocks show
        %ctime:
        
        There's a general recommendation for the case of such complicated
        expressions: we recommend writing such expressions in HTML in case
        to evidently indicate spaces and divisions. The plain-text variant
        exists basically for backward compatibility and for simple
        expressions.

Q2.22   How to activate yEnc http://www.yenc.org/ support in *Fidolook* ?
A2.22   _KZ_: Download archive _FLyEnc.dll_
        http://www.fidolook.org/download/Fl_yEnc.zip, which contains
        additional DLL. Extract this DLL to the *Fidolook* program folder,
        and then check /Misc->Other/*[x]*/Enable yEnc support/ is on.
        Required *Fidolook* a/69 and above.

Q2.23   What is External Mask Handler (EMH)?
A2.23   _AV_: External Mask Handler (EMH) - plugins (add-ons) for
        *Fidolook* that adding new masks. Information about that plugin
        available in it's distributive. General using:
        1. Create new folder named EMHS in *Fidolook*'s folder.
        2. Unpack plugin in that folder (or any other specially created
           subfolder).
        3. On *Fidolook* open Setting, Extended tab, press Refresh button.
           Your newly added plugin appears in the plugin list.
        4. Now that new mask is available in any edit field that allows
           mask entering due popup menu, External Masks.
        Required *Fidolook* a/77 and above.

Q2.24   I can't see pictures attached to a message in *Fidolook*, but I
        can see them if this message is being viewed without a template?
A2.24   _AJS_: If in the message's tags ([Ctrl][F3]) this picture is
        declared as:
        Content-Type: application/octet-stream;
        name="tetrapak.jpg"
        then *Fidolook* won't show such an attachment because it might be
        not safe. Otherwise, if it's declared as:
        Content-Type: image/jpeg
        name="tetrapak.jpg"
        but the attached picture is not shown anyway, then you may try to
        restore Content-Type settings on your computer by the means of the
        next file:
        begin of *RestoreContentType.reg*
        REGEDIT4
        
        [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.jpg]
        "Content Type"="image/jpeg"
        
        [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.jpeg]
        "Content Type"="image/jpeg"
        
        [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.jpe]
        "Content Type"="image/jpeg"
        
        [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.gif]
        "Content Type"="image/gif"
        
        [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.bmp]
        "Content Type"="image/bmp"
        
        [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.gif]
        "Content Type"="image/gif"
        
        [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.png]
        "Content Type"="image/png"
        end of *RestoreContentType.reg*
        
        If you often receive such messages with attached pictures and
        wrong *Content-Type* (i.e. application/octet-stream), then you
        need to ask the sender of those letters to correct *Content-Type*
        settings on his computer.

Q2.25   My name in the field *From * is written in my native language, but
        not in English. Naturally, it's not good. How to correct it? How
        to set up *Fidolook SL* if I want it to send my messages to the
        newsgroups from some special account I want to use (or fido7
        server requires)?
A2.25   _AJS_: Actually, this problem appeals in general to *Outlook
        Express* settings:
        See: /Tools -> Accounts... -> |News| -> your account [Properties]
        -> |General| -> User Information:/
        *Name* - contains your name that will be placed in the field "From"
        *Organization* - contains name of your organization (corresponding
        FIDO standart field is "Origin")
        *E-mail address* - contains your e-mail (by default) which will be
        added to the field "From".
        *Reply address* - contains e-mail that will be used to reply you
        (if this field's empty, your "by default" e-mail, mentioned above,
        will be used)
        
        Also, it's possible to add your name in your native language to
        all the messages you send. To do this, add special header
        X-FTN-RealName to all the templates related with newsgroups and
        place your name in native language in this field.
        See corresponding *Fidolok SL* settings: /[Ctrl]+[7] ->
        |Templates| -> your template [Edit...] -> |Headers|/

Q2.26   Is it possible in *Fidolook* to edit and then send (or simply to
        re-send) a message which has already been sent?
A2.26   _AEV_: Yes, it's. Go to *Newssaver* settings, press [Advanced]
        button and activate /Make editable Readonly message/ option. As a
        result, you will see an item /Make Editable/ in *Newssaver*
        drop-down menu. So, all you need now, is to select a message you
        want to re-send and then to choose /Make Editable/ from the menu.
        After that you'll be able to open and to edit this message and to
        send it again.

Q2.27   If you've got no templates in the message preview window...
A2.27   _GH_: If you've got no templates in the message preview window,
        while the same templates work Ok for the replies, check off the:
        /Tools->Options->Read->Read all messages in plain text./
        in the *OE* options dialog.
