______________________________________________________ Changing your preferences You can customize your preferences, which control the way your e-mail and chat functions work. To view or change your preferences, type PREFERENCES. Your preferences appear, with an option to change them. ________________________ Message list preferences Show conference items in reverse order Reverses the sort order for objects in conferences. (By default, objects in conferences are listed in chronological order.) This option allows you to have the newest items sent first, which is very useful if the conference has many items in it, and you are connecting by modem. Show only unread items in conferences and mailbox Displays only those items you have not yet seen (that is, items with an Unread asterisk). This option is useful for large conferences, especially if you are connecting by modem. Conferences with no unread messages appear to be empty. Reply Preference You can choose how the REPLY menu command works. You have the following choices: -  Automatic:  Performs a “Reply Conference” if you are within a conference, otherwise performs a “Reply All”. -  Reply All:  Replies to the sender and all other names in the original To and Cc lists. -  Reply Sender:  Replies only to the sender of the original message. ____________________ Chat preferences Don't accept invitations Prevents other users from interrupting you with chat invitations. When users try to invite you to chat, the invitation is automatically declined. Sounds during chat and invite Turns chat sounds on and off.
