-
- On fidonet (and other networks using the same protcols) the word
- netmail is used for private mail, to distinguish it from public
- messages (sometimes called echomail).
-
- The word comes from some bulletin boards where you had to choose
- different menu options for local mail and network mail.
-
- So what he means is a private email, not a message in the newsgroup.
