Received mail which contains a keyword can be forwarded to the mail address
which appears after the keyword in a message.
• Access restriction
A specific PC on a network can be designated to send mail.
• Automatic attachment decoding
MIME-encoded mail sent from a network can be automatically decoded by UUEN-
CODE or BINARY decoding format.
• Outgoing message size restricting
The administrator of this FELCOM can specify maximum outgoing message size
(Max. size 32KB) allowable for the PC e-mail client. This allows control over the size
of mail messages which can be sent by the PC e-mail client.

E-mail restrictions

The Inmarsat C e-mail system has restrictions not found on the land-based e-mail sys-
tem. Further there are some restrictions which apply to this FELCOM.
• 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.
