Contchar, contposition Channel Options

Batch SMTP Continuation Lines
DEPRECATED.

The  channel option specifies the point at which batch SMTP lines are folded onto a continuation line. The default value for  is 0, which disables continuation lines.

The  channel option is used to specify a continuation character for commands in batch SMTP. Commands longer than  characters long will have the character specified by the integer argument to   inserted in the   position and the remainer of the line will be wrapped to another line. The default value for  is 0.

See also the TCP/IP-channel-specific option  which allows for specification of additional continuation characters.

These options were used to accomodate the peculiar form of batch SMTP that was employed by BITNET. Now that BITNET is no more these options are obsolete and deprecated.
