By Steve Kostecke 13 August 1995 This release is freeware. >>> IMPORTANT NOTES: The MailMacro INI file and your signature files are stored on your default disk. Please check your default disk setting if the macros stop working. Your address book must be ReadCIS compliant. - The first field is the persons name. - The second field is the Email address. Turn off Word-Wrap in your address book otherwise long addresses will be truncated. These Macros are only for the English version of the Psion S3a. Please Email me your reaction to this software and tell me whether or not you will use it. >>> ABOUT THE MACROS MakeMail & SignMail: Use these macros to easily create, sign & save CompuServe Email for ReadCIS. Create Email at any time, while in any application, without starting ReadCIS; automatically format mail, import address & leave address book in its original state. Edit your mail with the convenience of word-wrap and easily save the mail as text. Append any one of five signature files to your mail or leave it unsigned. Use any address book, in Psion Data format, that is ReadCIS compliant (i.e. 1st field=name, 2nd field=address.) MakeMail will either create a new email message or, if you start the Macro from MAIL!.CIS, will create a reply to the mail message that you are reading. If you start MakeMail from any Psion Data file you are given the option to use the current address. This allows you to use an address from a Data file which is not your default phone book. MakeMail will open your default address book, if required, and search the name field using a search string that you specify. MakeMail will then import the addressee's name & email address into the mail message. MakeMail checks your ReadCIS Mail Out-Basket to ensure that you have not exceeded the allowed number of mail files. MakeMail names the mail files as required by ReadCIS. SignMail operates in one of two modes. If started while editing a file titled MAIL*.OUT, SignMail will save the file as text and append the signature file of your choice. If SignMail enters a SetUp mode if started from any other application screen. In the SetUp mode you can create, edit, or delete signature files. SetUp mode also has an option for choosing which address book to use. >>> INSTALLATION: 1. Copy makemail.mco & signmail.mco to any \MACRO\MCO\ directory. 2. Copy sig.als to any \APP\ directory. 3.
