  • Finding personal messages

    From Dean Galloway@1:114/709 to All on Wed May 19 17:55:22 2021
    Hi Nick,

    I am told there is a personal message or echomail waiting for me, how do I find it if only running the mailer?

    Thanks,
    Dean.

    Dean,

    I am told there is a personal message or echomail waiting for me, how do
    I find it if only running the mailer?

    Due to the time-difference, It'll take hours before Nich gets to this. So I'll take the honours ...

    If you depress <ALT-E> you will start the editor. It starts-up in the netmail directory ... if you have netmail set-up that is.

    Take care,

    Thanks for the reply. The Netmail is no problem, it's the personal echomail I can't figure out.

    Thanks,
    Dean.

    Hi Nick,

    Press Y in the editor.

    Hitting Y does bring up a Your Mail box, but it doesn't appear to lead me to the personal echomails, or I'm not understanding the headings. I'll keep poking around.

    Thanks,
    Dean.
