E-mail restrictions

The Inmarsat C e-mail system has restrictions not found on the land-based
e-mail system. Further there are some restrictions which apply to the FELCOM
15.
Use 7-bit characters in the Subject field, text and attachment. Some LES may
not use 8-bit characters (Japanese, etc). Since most LES use 7-bit
characters in the header, 8-bit characters may not be properly received.

The maximum number of simultaneous transmissions is 32. Any
simultaneous transmission in excess of that amount will not be sent. When
transmitting, wait until the message "Successful Sending message." appears
before transmitting another message.
The maximum number of characters available for the "Subject" field is 60.
The maximum number of characters per line is 1000. Characters in excess of
1000 will not be transmitted. Use maximum 1000 character per line.
The maximum number of multiple addressees is 10. Any number in excess of
that amount will not be transmitted.
Destination cannot be specified as "Bcc:". "Bcc: is automatically changed to
"Cc:" because Bcc is not used in Inmarsat C.
Set the encoding format on the PC's e-mail client to BASE64.
8.1.3

E-mail precautions

Confirm the port chosen to output received messages from the FELCOM 15.
Set Message Output Port on the System Setup menu to INT or INT+EXT.
Set the mail format at the e-mail client for "Text." HTML increases
communication charges because of its large size.
The FELCOM 15 does not have account management functions, for example,
multiple accounts.
All received and transmitted messages (incl. those on a LAN) are saved to
the communications log. The log may be printed in real time or when desired.
Sending and receiving stations should use the same font to read each others'
messages. Use of different fonts may result in unreadable characters.
