  • Winpoint: HOLD?

    From August Abolins@2:221/1.58 to Martin Foster on Sat Mar 30 22:43:41 2019
    Hello Martin,

    Is there a way to mark messages on Hold so that they don't get sent on the next Poll?

    Does OpenXP have that?

    I keep forgetting that Winpoint never got to the point of "release" version, only Beta. No, HOLD option that I can find. Maybe it was in the plan.

    The fella was working on the project since 2004. Even though the project appears to have been dropped in 2007, the site is still active.

    We'll have to see what will happen after July 9 2019.

    Yes, indeed it does, it has a "Park" function which may be accessed
    from the "Send" dialogue. Instead of hitting the "Yes" button in the
    "Send" dialogue, hit the "Special" button and then hit the "Park"
    button. This will "Park"(Hold) the message in the "Unsent" folder.
