   Fnordadel Private Mail Tutorial
 
   Messages in the Mail> room are visible ONLY to the sender and a recipient.
The Sysop can't read users' personal mail, and it isn't echoed at the console
while being entered or read by the sender or recipient.
 
   If you enter a message in the Mail> room, the BBS will prompt you for the
name of the recipient.  (If you haven't logged in yet, the only recipient
allowed is "Sysop".)  If the BBS does not know anyone by that name, the
message will be refused.  Otherwise, you are sent to the message editor like
normal.
 
   If you have mail waiting, you will be told when you log in.  It can be read
using the usual commands.  To assist in replying and so on, the system
automatically uses the "more" mode when you read messages in Mail>.  You can
reply directly to a message from somebody (even if it's a networked message)
using the [R]eply command at the "more" command prompt.
 
   To enter or reply to a networked message, you may need net privileges, which
only the Sysop can give out.  If he or she is generous enough, the system may
be configured to give all users net privileges automatically, in which case
you're home free.  To add a further wrinkle, though, to enter or reply to a
networked message from a long-distance system, you also need long-distance
network credits.  These must be given to you manually by the Sysop.
 
   General complaints, comments and requests should be addressed to "Sysop".
