 Sending mail to a remote system is only slightly more complicated than sending
mail to a local recipient.  As usual, you must be in the Mail room before any
message can be sent.  There are two ways to send mail to someone on a linked
system.  Both are relatively simple and accomplish exactly the same thing, but
both methods will be discussed anyway.  
 
 Using the more common method, you press `E' to enter a message the same way
you would enter a local message, but when Fortress prompts you for the
recipient, you would reply `Tom Magnum@Hawaii' or some such thing.  You would
then proceed to enter the message as normal.  When you are ready to send the
message, press [RETURN] twice in succession and, at the next prompt, press `S'
to save the message.  The mail message will then be stored and sent the next
time the system links with the destination system.
 
 Using the less common method, requires the following command:
 
 .E(nter) N(et-message)
 
 Fortress then prompts for the destination system.  Using the example from
above, you would reply `Hawaii'.  Next, Fortress will prompt you for the
recipient's username, to which you would reply `Tom Magnum'.  You would then
proceed to enter the message as normal, finishing up by pressing [RETURN] twice
in succession and, at the next prompt, press "S" to save the message.  As above,
the system will then store the message and send it the next time the system
links to the destination system.
 
 If you forget a system's name or can't remember the proper spelling of the
system in question, enter the ".E(nter) N(et-message)" command at the "Mail>"
room prompt.  When Fortress prompts you for the destination system, instead
type a question mark (?) and all systems linking to this system will be listed
for you.
 
 When sending mail to non-local users, please be sure to type the username and
nodename VERY carefully!  Mistakes will result in returned/rejected mail and
unneeded network traffic.  Note that sending mail to the "Sysop" of another node
is valid.
