The Send command is used to create new messages. A message number will be
assigned to your message as it is created. The form of the command is:
S <addressee>
The addressee can be either a callsign or some other six-letter name.
It can also be followed by the callsign of the mailbox to which the
message is to be forwarded in the form:
S <addressee> @ <mailbox>
Forwarding tables and schedules are set up by the SYSOP and will be
announced in QSTs. You should find out from the station you wish to
send the message to which mailbox he receives mail at.
To send a message with a particular message type, say:
S<type> <addressee>
For example, SP W6XYZ will send a private message to W6XYZ. Private
messages should be used whenever applicable because it reduces the
size of listings other people have to look through. The SB command is
used to send type B messages, otherwise known as Bulletins. Bulletins
are readable by anybody and are distributed to several other mailboxes
over the course of the next few hours or days. How far your bulletin is
distributed depends on the address you use for the @ field. For instance,
SB SALE @ ALLCA
might be use to distribute a for-sale message to all mailboxes in
California. For a list of valid distribution addresses, Download the
file "bulletins".
A special form of the Send command is "Send Reply". The form of this
command is:
SR <message #>
This will send a type P (personal) message to the originator of the
message you select. You can enter a title for your message, or you
can just hit return when asked for one in order to use the title the
mailbox automatically generates from the title of the original message.
After giving the addressee, the mailbox will ask for a message
subject. This may be up to 79 characters long. Once you have given
the title, the mailbox will ask you for your message. Type in your
message, one line at a time, and type ^Z (control-Z) at the end of the
last line of the message. Note that the use of /EX to terminate your
message is NOT supported.
