Carbon Copying
--------------
Carbon copy (CC) is a way to send the same message to a number of
people without the trouble of manually entering and copying a
message for each of them. The CC works only in netmail or local
areas. You can send any message, including fileattaches (in
netmail) with the CC function.
Carbon copies are created by putting the string "CC:" followed by
one or more names or addresses, separated by commas, on one or
more lines at the beginning of the message. The names and
addresses must follow the same rules as when using the lookup
function in the netmail header.
Example:
CC: 16, Joergensen, #230/13
If you put a "#" in front of a name or address, that node will be
left out of the list, but will still receive a carbon copy.
You can also use address macros (see the GOLDEDNAM keyword)
instead of names or addresses.
If you often send carbon copies to the same people, it can get a
bit tedious to type (and remember) every time. Therefore you can
also specify a file with the names and addresses:
CC: @TESTERS.LST
Files names and addresses can be mixed on the same line. The lines
in the file must be the same format as above. No nesting is
allowed: You can't specify files within files.
When you save the CC message, GoldED will scan the message text to
find and process the CC: lines. When this is done, a menu will
popup and allow you change the format of the CC: lines, the
attributes of the CC messages or drop the copies.
When processing the CC list, GoldED will check each node in the
nodelist and popup the nodelist browser in case of more than one
match or if the node was not found.
