                 MainPart v1.30/Server v1.24/SystemEditor v1.24
                 ----------------------------------------------

+MainPart:
 User Config 'W' enhanced.

 In the user configuration menu ('W' menu command) in submenu
 '[19] ADD MESSAGE OPTIONS' you will find a new menu point called
 '[ 8] MESSAGE AUTO DELETE OPTIONS' which is also a submenu...

 This is a FAME 2.0 feature which only will take completely effect in FAME
 v2.0, because the whole 'Message Auto Delete' feature will be completed
 in FAME 2.0 first, but nevertheless it's not false to have this feature
 implemented into the MainPart 1.31+ now, because the only thing what is
 missing to 2.0 is the FAMECoProc and the FAMECoProc module
 'FAMEMsgDeleter.FCP' which deletes the messages in background.
 If you have FAME 2.0 then 'FAMEMsgDeleter.FCP' will be able to work with
 the now made settings to the message base.

 ...back to the new submenu (short: 'W 19 8')

 The menu is splitted into two parts.

 1st the 'REDUCED BY SYSOP' and 2nd the 'NOT REDUCED BY SYSOP' part
 where REDUCED means that the SysOp has reduced the freedom of the user
 to choose the amount of days till the mail get's deleted automatically.
 This mainly means that the user is not able to set a mail to 'DELETE NEVER'
 (0) and also not to a very high amount of days like years.
 For the example that the SysOp has defined an amount range of 14 days
 from 1 day to 14 days (minimum = 1 and maximum = 14) the user is not able
 to choose a value higher than 14 and not lower than 1.

 'REDUCED BY SYSOP' now means that for the case the SysOp has set a range
 (REDUCED) for a Conference where a user now writes a mail to, the above told
 restrictions are taking place. 'NOT REDUCED BY SYSOP' is for all the cases
 (Conferences) where the SysOp has made no restrictions.

 Conferences? Yes... the SysOp is able to set theese 'Message Delete In Days'
 options for every single Conference the BBS knows off, but that's not all.

 To the Conference based settings the amount can be reduced for all five
 available message types.

 Message types are: - Public mails
                    - Private mails
                    - ALL mails
                    - EALL mails
                    - UEALL mails

 This means there are 5 message types for two cases for the amount of
 Conferences (5 * 2 = 10 means 10 * amount of Conferences) which can be
 completely different configured with the 'Auto Delete Messages In Days'
 feature --- too much for the user to configure so there are not all
 theese settings available for every Conference to the user, but once
 for both cases (REDUCED and NOT REDUCED). Theese are default settings then
 which will be calucalted to the Conference settings by the SysOp.

 The following settings are possible for the user:

 REDUCED: For message type: [ 2] PUBLIC MAIL
                            [ 3] PRIVATE MAIL
                            [ 4] ALL MAIL
                            [ 5] EALL MAIL
                            [ 6] UEALL MAIL

          - Submenu: [ 1] PROMPT FOR AUTO DELETE IN DAYS VALUE
                     [ 2] USE DEFAULT VALUE
                     [ 3] USE POSSIBLE MINIMUM
                     [ 4] USE POSSIBLE MAXIMUM
                     [ 5] USE OWN VALUE
                     
                     [ 6] ON LEVEL OVERRIDE    : NEVER AUTO DELETE MAILS   <---- (Example)


 NOT REDUCED:  For message type: [ 8] PUBLIC MAIL
                                 [ 9] PRIVATE MAIL
                                 [10] ALL MAIL
                                 [11] EALL MAIL
                                 [12] UEALL MAIL

          - Submenu: [ 1] PROMPT FOR AUTO DELETE IN DAYS VALUE
                     [ 2] NEVER AUTO DELETE MAILS
                     [ 3] USE OWN VALUE

 There are also the points '[ 1] FOR 2-6 TOGETHER' and '[ 7] FOR 8-12 TOGETHER'
 which will make the same settings for the points (2-6) and (8-12) in one go
 for REDUCED and NOT REDUCED.

 Explanation of the submenu points which are now the possible settings a user
 can choose:

 PROMPT FOR AUTO DELETE IN DAYS VALUE - This will tell the Mainpart to appear
                                        a prompt on saving a new mail to let
                                        the user choose a value for the amount
                                        of days till the mail will be deleted.
                                        (REDUCED and NOT REDUCED)

 USE DEFAULT VALUE                    - Means to use the by the SysOp
                                        predefined default value for the amount
                                        of days till the mail will be deleted.
                                        (REDUCED only)

 USE POSSIBLE MINIMUM                 - Means to use always the possible
                                        minimum amount of days till the mail
                                        will be deleted.
                                        (REDUCED only)

 USE POSSIBLE MAXIMUM                 - Means to use always the possible
                                        maximum amount of days till the mail
                                        will be deleted.
                                        (REDUCED only)

 USE OWN VALUE                        - To choose an own value for the amount
                                        of days till the mail will be deleted.
                                        (REDUCED and NOT REDUCED)

                                        Note: In the REDUCED case this amount
                                              isn't able to override the range
                                              configured by the SysOp - it will
                                              then the nearest range used.

                                        Example: User has defined 20 SysOp has
                                                 defined a range from 2-10 so
                                                 10 will be the used value.

 NEVER AUTO DELETE MAILS              - Means that the value shall be set
                                        automatically to 0 on writing a mail
                                        which means that the mail won't be
                                        automatically deleted after a time.
                                        (NOT REDUCED only)

 ON LEVEL OVERRIDE                    - Here the user can define the default
                                        action for the case that the user level
                                        is higher or the same as the by the 
                                        SysOp as 'Override Level' defined one.
                                        The user can choose between all
                                        possibilities available for REDUCED and
                                        also 'NEVER AUTO DELETE MAILS'.
                                        (REDUCED only)

 So now the user will be able to configure this once to automate this whole
 thing like the user wants it to.

 Default user settings will be for all message tpyes in REDUCED mode
 'USE DEFAULT VALUE' and 'ON LEVEL OVERRIDE : NEVER AUTO DELETE MAILS'
 and for NOT REDUCED 'NEVER AUTO DELETE MAILS'.
