Mail Services
PATHWORKS for DOS MAIL allows DOS clients to send and receive messages
and documents to users of MAIL software (for example, MAIL-11) on sys-
tems that operate within the same DECnet network. (The PATHWORKS for
VMS, ULTRIX, or OS/2 mail server must already be installed to utilize
MAIL.)
Note: MAIL is not supported with the PATHWORKS for SCO UNIX server.
MAIL is a PC-style utility for sending and reading mail. It contains
horizontal menu bars, pull-down menus, and Help listed by topics. MAIL
allows the user to read mail without having to log into the server.
The PATHWORKS for DOS MAIL utility enables the DOS client to:
o Read, delete, forward, file, print, annotate, and reply to messages.
o Send messages to a distribution list as well as to a remote node-
name::username address. Messages can be sent to primary addressees
and to carbon copy addressees. (To use the carbon copy feature, the
user must manually add 'CC:' in the mail header.)
o Create messages with the built-in editor (or a selected callable
editor, such as SEDT), which can output an ASCII file.
o Organize messages into folders that can be stored remotely on a server
or locally on the system's hard disk.
o Receive notification of new messages upon login and during PATH-
WORKS sessions.
o Receive notification of incoming messages using the Receive util-
ity. In most cases, notification is achieved via sound while us-
ing a graphics application, and via a pop-up message on the user's
display while using character cell applications. This feature may
be optionally disabled.
o Send a binary file attachment (one binary file per message).
o Configure the user interface as either command line or menu-driven.
