After reading all your telegrams you may delete them by

specifying \*Qyes\*U or not by specifying \*Qno\*U as an argument.

If an argument is not supplied then you will be prompted
|
|
to either answer \*Qyes\*U or \*Qno\*U to delete the telegrams.
|
|
If you supply or answer \*Qno\*U, the telegrams will remain
|

pending but you will not be reminded of them.
