Intersystem Communications symbol). This option is checked in the figure above,
which means that the optional signals are forced to the following definitions:
Optional Signal
Send e-Mail
symbol value
SignalA
n
where n = 1 to: 3
SignalS
n
where n = 1 to: 3
SignalD

PageFlip

Status

EchoDate, EchoSubj, EchoFrom, and
EchoRcpt

NewCount, OldCount

ErrString, ErrNumber, and ErrTrigger defined
None of these signals definitions can be altered so long as the Using “Receive
e-Mail” SIMPL symbol option is checked.
Referenced Signal Blocks
References to other signal blocks are optional. When given, they enhance the
functionality of the e-mailbox signal block, as described below.
IN Box scroller
Supplying a reference to a scroller here causes the signal block to download new
mail into the database table associated with the named scroller. This table serves as
an “IN box,” a repository for incoming e-mail.
If the Process control messages option is checked, only non-control messages will
end up in the IN box.
If an IN box scroller is not specified, non-control messages are ignored (and possibly
deleted from the server; see “Delete from Mail Server as downloaded,” below).
If the Process control messages option is not checked and an IN box scroller is not
referenced, the signal block configuration is considered invalid and attempting to
start the server protocol results in an error.
Message scroller
This table is required in order to display a message chosen from the IN box.
If it is not specified, the IN box scroller is still usable, but picking a message from
the scroller does not produce any visible result. Note, however, that picking a record
from the IN box scroller still responds with the PageFlip signal (if defined) and the
various Echo signals; and doing so still has utility for the Delete, KeepAsNew, and
Reply signals.
Reply e-mailer
An e-mailer signal block is specified here to be used for replying to messages. If it is
not specified, the Reply signal results in a run-time error message. When an active
e-mailer signal block is properly specified here, the Reply signal prepares a new
outgoing e-mail message using the specified e-mailer signal block, as follows:
• The recipient name and address of the new message is set to the sender’s name
(when available) and address from the present message.
