Preferences

Some features of Mbox Reader can be configured from the preferences dialog. To invoke the preferences dialog press the Menu key or the letter 'P'. To dismiss the dialog without changing the preferences use the Cancel key. To make the modified preferences take effect use the OK key.

You can control the display of message headers. Valid settings are:

Mailing lists often include the name of the list in the subject line. To make it easier to read the subject you can filter the list name from the subject. Use the 'Remove [listname] from subject' checkbox to control subject filtering. The name of the list is assumed to be the same as the name of the mbox file.

Maling lists often set the From address in the mbox file to be the address of the list. The name of the actual sender is in the From: header. Use the 'Use From: header' checkbox to get the sender address from the 'From:' header.

The text of a message can be reformatted to fit the width of the display or it can be displayed with the original formatting. Use the 'Word wrap' checkbox to control how the text is displayed.
