3.1.1.10 Configure Attachments

Article Split Length

This option determines how large an individual posting is allowed to grow before it is split into a multi-part posting. Posting extremely large files as a single Usenet post will break some news sites and is considered good "netiquette" to break the post into multiple parts. If you are posting with large attachments it is recommended you set this value to less than 64,000 however you can disable article-splitting by setting this option to None.

This checkbox sets the default for attachments, which you can then override in the Attach dialog.

Specifies a custom table of exactly 64 unique characters for use with the Custom Encoding Type. See Custom Encoding Tables

The Subject Line Template allows you to customize a detailed subject line for a multi-part send. A text string can be entered and interspersed with the symbols %s, %f, %p or %t:

%f will insert the filename of an attachment (or the words "N attachments" where N is a number greater than one)

%p is the part number of a multi-part message

%0p is the part number of a multi-part message, prepended with zeros to match the length of the total number of parts

%t is the total number of parts transmitted.

use %% in the template if you need a literal percent sign

WinVN defaults to a Template of

%s - %f [%0p/%t]

Examples:

For the 5th part of a 12 part send with an original subject called "Testing " and an attached file called "aconfig.bmp", this would produce the subject line:

Testing - aconfig.bmp [05/12]

For the 1st part of a 7 part send, with an original subject of "Hello", and 4 attachments, this would produce the subject line:

Hello - 4 attachments [1/7]
