- The READ command lets you read messages on the current subboard. You must
- enter the number of the first message you want to read. Notice that messages
- are always numbered sequentially; ie. if there are active 56 messages on a
- particular subboard, the first message is always number 1 and the last is
- number 56, regardless of the fact that message deletions may have taken
- place in the past.
- After reading a message, you have several options. You may type 'N' (or
- simply press RETURN) to read the next message. You can re-read the message
- by pressing 'A'. You may reply to the message, either publically or
- privately; if the reply is public, it is appended to the current subboard,
- otherise the Mail facility is invoked to send the reply directly to the user
- who wrote the original message.
- The message forwarding option can be invoked by pressing 'F'. This
- facility allows you to send a copy of the message you've just read to
- another place on the BBS; the destination can be a user's mailbox or a
- public message subboard. The forward command prompts you for the required
- information. Please do not abuse the forwarding facility by sending many
- copies of the same message.
- For more information, refer to: List and Jump for selecting other
- message subboards, Scan for scanning message titles, and New for reading new
- messages.
