Description

When PMDF MAIL displays a message part of type "video", a subprocess is created to display the message part. By default, PMDF MAIL will not wait for the subprocess to terminate, thus allowing you to continue reading your mail while the video is displayed.

Issue the command SET VIDEO_WAIT to instruct PMDF MAIL to always wait for the viewing subprocess to terminate prior to continuing. Use the command SET NOVIDEO_WAIT to inhibit waiting on the subprocess.

Examples

To cause PMDF MAIL to display a video and then wait until the video viewer is exited, issue the command SET NOVIDEO_WAIT:

EMAIL> SET NOVIDEO_WAIT EMAIL> SHOW VIDEO_WAIT Video display waiting is enabled. EMAIL>

This will prevent, for instance, cases where the video viewer's output becomes interspersed with output from PMDF MAIL on your terminal screen.
