What is Netmail
---------------
Netmail is a service available to bbs users that will allow you to send
a message to any user in the world depending on weather or not your sysop
allows it. It is a direct bbs-to-bbs mail system in which a message is
entered on a system, sent to another system, and read by the user that
it is intended for. Lot's of systems only support local netmail due to the
cost involved in calling up the destination system. When you enter a netmail
message, you must also enter a net and a node number of the destination
system you intend for the message to be sent to. For more information on
net/node numbers, see the help file pertaining to them.
Typical netmail topography:
Source system -------message--------> Destination system
