     Defaults to "direct" for JAM and "chain" for everything else.

     If set  to "direct",  GoldED will  link your  reply directly to the
     original  message.  If  set  to  "chain",  it will link to the last
     message in the reply chain. The default ("chain") is how GoldED has
     done it in all previous versions.

     The advantage of the "direct" linking method is that you can easily
     find the the original message  the reply was for. Unless  of course
     you have later re-linked using a chain-linking replylinker utility.
     I can recommend the utility SQLINK by David L. Nugent. SQLINK links
     Squish areas using the  MSGID/REPLY kludges and makes  direct links
     instead  of  chain-linking  on  the  subject  line  like most other
     replylinkers do. There are  probably also similar replylinkers  for
     other msgbase formats, I just don't know them.

     NOTE: Direct linking is not  always useful or practical. It  can be
     very hard to follow a  discussion with more than one  participants,
     because the links become  branched trees instead of  simple chains.
     Currently  GoldED  is  not  designed  to follow the branched direct
     links.
