3.1.1.5 Configure Confirmations
The Configure Confirmations Options Menu is used to Enables/Disables confirmation prompts for certain WinVN operations.
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 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 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 thru 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.
