- Receiving Your Messages on AMTOR
-
- The quickest and simplest way to receive your messages is to give
- the 'RN' (meaning 'Read New') command as soon as you sign on. All
- messages in the system not already marked 'forwarded' will be
- transmitted to you automatically without further action on your
- part. As each message is completely forwarded to you it is marked
- 'forareded' and will not be transmitted again with this command.
- (You may read it again with the 'R (number)' command.
-
- If you are receiving an unforwarded message and the link is lost
- it will still be abailable to the 'RN' command.
-
- If you have logged into the system with your automatic answerback
- then the system will mark your messages 'forwarded' only after it
- triggers your answerback at the end of each message.
-
- You do not have to (in fact, cannot) delete a message. Once it is
- forwarded the system will delete it 24 or more hours later. In the
- meantime it may be read again using the 'R (number)' command.
-
- Use the list commands to see what messages are available.
