Description

When an audio playback command has been set and PMDF MAIL replays an audio message part, a subprocess is created to execute the audio playback command. By default, PMDF MAIL will not wait for the subprocess to terminate, thus allowing you to continue reading your mail while the message is replayed.

Issue the command SET AUDIO_WAIT to instruct PMDF MAIL to always wait for the playback subprocess to terminate prior to continuing. Use the command SET NOAUDIO_WAIT to inhibit waiting on the subprocess.

Examples

To cause PMDF MAIL to wait while replaying an audio message, issue the command SET NOAUDIO_WAIT:

EMAIL> SET NOAUDIO_WAIT EMAIL> SHOW AUDIO_WAIT Audio playback waiting is enabled. EMAIL>

This will prevent, for instance, cases where multiple audio message parts are read in quick succession and played back at the same time.
