- (E)nter Message
- ---------------
-
- Subcommands: None
-
- Description: Allows you to place a message on the BBS. After selecting
- (E), you will first be prompted for your alias to use in
- the message, if aliases are allowed in your current
- conference. You will then be prompted for who to send
- the message to. You may enter 'S' to send it to the sysop.
- Hitting (Enter) will send the message to "ALL". The user
- which you chose to enter the message to might be checked
- (depending upon the setup of this BBS) for existence, if the
- user does not exist, you will be notified of it. Next, you
- will be prompted for the message subject. If you hit (Enter)
- at this prompt, you will be returned to the main menu. After
- entering the subject, you will be prompted for the message
- security type. You can get help on security types by
- selecting '?'. After message security, you will be prompted,
- if you have ANSI on, whether you want to use the full screen
- message editor, a vast improvement over the line editor (if
- you have a full screen editor default set, you will not be
- asked the full screen editor question). Lastly, if the
- message is not to "ALL", you will be prompted whether you
- wish to receive a "return receipt" when the message is read
- by the receiver. This is a short notification message that
- is sent to you by UltraBBS that tells you your message was
- received. After this, you will be able to enter the text of
- the message. Further help is available from most of the
- other command line prompts.
