Configure Confirmations

Opens a dialog box allowing you configure options related to confirmations.

Confirm batch send/close operations

If checked, WinVN will prompt for confirmation before executing batch operations, such as closing all WinVN windows, sending all open Mail windows, etc.

Confirm disconnect

If checked, WinVN will prompt for confirmation upon selecting the Disconnect menu item.

Confirm Use of Reply-To

If checked, WinVN will prompt you for confirmation anytime you reply to a post that has a From: address different than its Reply-To: address. A number of large sites on the Internet allow their people to send mail directly from computers inside their facility but don't allow responses to come back through the same route. Those sites typically will use the Reply-To field of a mail message to identify a proper return address. However, other sites have broken mail software and checking this option will allow you to verify addresses. You usually won't know what is a proper address so the typical procedure is to use the Reply-To field (if it exists), and if the email bounces, try the From: field.

Confirm save on exit

If checked, WinVN will prompt the user to save the winvn.ini and newsrc files upon exit. If this options is disabled, WinVN will automatically save these files.

Confirm exit when groups are open
If checked, WinVN will ask you to confirm you want to close if an groups with selections are open. Prevents unintended exits.

Confirm when cross-posting
If checked, WinVN will ask you about cross-posting before sending a post that contains multiple newsgroups. Cross-Posting is generally frowned upon by good "Netiquette"
