And the subject or text of the message
When a message is listed, the ―tocall‖ and ―fromcall‖ appear in the TO and FROM
columns, respectively. If a message has been entered with an ―@BBS‖ for forwarding,
the complete hierarchical address is shown when the message is read:
MSG2 02/10/92 10:30:58 FROM KBØNYK TO HELP
@wa4ewv.#stx.tx.usa.noam
The @BBS is also listed when using the semi-colon (;) option with any of the list
commands.
You can access the Edit command by connecting to the mailbox from the attached
terminal, or by connecting over the radio. If you connect over the radio, you must gain
SYSOP privilege by giving the SYSOP command. When you give the SYSOP
command, the PBBS will send you a password verification string, which must be
properly responded to in order to gain SYSOP access. This is explained in detail later.
Let's say you want to edit message number 2 which currently is a PRIVATE message
addressed to WØXI. The message has been read by WØXI so it shows a status of Y. It
may list as:
MSG# ST
2
Let's say you want to change this so that it is addressed to NØGRG and also change
the Y flag to N to show that it hasn't been read. To do this, you connect to your PBBS
(either from the KEYBOARD or as SYSOP over the radio), and issue the command:
e 2 N >NØGRG
You could do this with two separate commands, or it may be accomplished with the
single command shown above.
You can change a subject or text in the message by entering two strings in the Edit
command. The first occurrence of the string ―old‖ will be replaced by the string ―new‖.
For example, to change the subject from Good afternoon to Good morning:
e 2 ―afternoon‖ ―morning‖
Hierarchical Addresses
Hierarchical addresses (explained below) are used to accommodate the national packet
traffic system, including messages processed by PC-based packet radio BBSs.
The HTEXT command allows you to set your Hierarchical address. This is used
whenever your PBBS forwards mail to another BBS to provide complete return
addressing capability. Other PBBS features include the ability to select whether or not to
kill private and traffic messages after they have been forwarded, and whether or not to
HOLD messages received over the radio.
