5.7.2 Entering a Message for Reverse Forwarding
To prepare a message for Reverse Forwarding to another station:
- Type MDCHECK to access your MailDrop from your terminal.
- Using the Send command, type the message you want forwarded. Use
the "@" field to set the destination BBS where the addressee will
pick up his mail. For example if you want to send a message to
N6UND who you know uses the BBS N6IIU enter the following:
S N6UND @ N6IIU.CA.NA
Note that the "@" call sign does not need to be the same as the
HOMEBBS call sign. The "@" call sign can be typed as part of the Send
command or as part of the Edit command described earlier.
The ".CA.NA" is optional "Hierarchical forwarding" information that in
this case designates that N6IIU is located in the state of California.
- Enter the Subject and text of the message as described above in
the Send command section. Don't forget to end your message with
<CTRL-Z> or "/EX" on its own separate line also described above.
- Use the Edit command to set the Forwarding flag for each message
that will be Reverse Forwarded to HOMEBBS. This is described in
the Edit command section above. For example the following will
mark message number 53 for Reverse Forwarding.
E 53 F (Sets Reverse Forwarding for message 53.)
- Log off your MailDrop with the B (Bye) command.
- If you wish each message to disappear as it is Reverse Forwarded,
leave KILONFWD ON. If you wish to keep each message after it has
been Forwarded, turn KILONFWD OFF. After forwarding, the message
flag will change from "F" to "Y" to show that it has been read.
