E-mail characteristics

• Confirm the port chosen to output received messages from the FELCOM. Set the
[Message Output Port] on the [System Setup] menu to [INT] or [Auto].
• Set the mail format at the e-mail client for "Text." HTML increases communication
charges because of its large size.
• The FELCOM does not have account management functions, for example, multiple
accounts.
• All received and sent messages (incl. those on a LAN) are saved to the communi-
cations 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' mes-
sages. Use of different fonts may result in unreadable characters.
• When a file with an attachment is sent from land, the LES (e-mail service provider)
separately forwards the file and attachment to the intended MES. The file name for
the attachment as received at the FELCOM "ATTACH.DAT." For that reason re-
quest that land-based e-mail with attachment contain the attachment file name in
the text of the message.
• File and accompanying attachment are sent separately regardless of the delivery
address specified with the auto delivery keyword. The message file is delivered ac-
cording to the auto delivery keyword setting and the attachment goes to the Mail Ad-
dress set on Mail Gateway.
