DESCRIPTION

The SET and SHOW APPLICATION_PROMPT commands control whether or not you are prompted before any message part of type application is displayed. The prompt asks you whether or not the part should be displayed. If you answer in the affirmative, then it will be displayed; otherwise, it will be skipped and the remainder of the message, if any, presented.

By default, application parts are displayed without your prior approval. To require that you be prompted beforehand, issue the SET APPLICATION_PROMPT command:

EMAIL> SET APPLICATION_PROMPT
EMAIL> SHOW APPLICATION_PROMPT
Application display prompting is enabled. 
EMAIL> 

To restore the default behavior, use the SET NOAPPLICATION_PROMPT command:

EMAIL> SET NOAPPLICATION_PROMPT
EMAIL> SHOW APPLICATION_PROMPT
Application display prompting is disabled. 
EMAIL>
