Mail Options

Use this page to set the Balsa's behaviour regarding incoming and outgoing messages.

Incoming

Check Mail Automatically

If selected, Balsa will connect to your POP3 servers at the given interval and check for mail.

Quoted Text Regular Expression

The entry box allows you to set a regular expression you would like to use to identify text that should be considered quoted for incoming messages. The regular expression should match the beginning of line of quoted text a single level deep, the program will then use this to calculate the depth of quoting and alter the quoted text colours appropriately. A default regexp is provided that should work in most situations.

This regexp affects both highlighting and spell checking, and uses the extended regular expression set. For more information see the grep(1) manual or info page.

Outgoing

Wrap Outgoing Text

Have Balsa wrap all outgoing mail at the specified column.

Default Bcc

An address to send Blind Carbon Copy to on all emails.

Encoding

Set the character encoding method to either 7 bit, 8 bit, or what the quoted message is using.
