  • Fowarding Net Mails

    From Joe Delahaye@VERT to Digital Man on Thu Feb 9 20:56:22 2017
    I wrote a general question a while ago. No response, so maybe nobody knows. I have occassion to forward netmail to other nodes. Using the forward command, (no matter which editor I use), I write in the name as per normal for netmail in the Forward To prompt. Joe Blow@123:456/789 and I get an error of Unknown User, and the message is closed. Can you only forward netmail to a user of the board?

    That is correct. You just (A)uto-reply and quote (or copy/paste) the original message to a netmail address, however.

    The idea behind the forward is that I wanted to keep all the original kludges, etc, and timestamps. Copy/Paste is how I ended up doing it, but that loses all of the original info, except for the text

    I added it to the "to-do list".
