   Re: NetMail for PCBoard

   In a message on Tuesday 10-26-15 Ruben Figueroa said to Holger Granholm:   
      
   Good morning Ruben,   
      
   RF> You got it.  Only trouble I am having is that echo mail does not go   
   RF> out like when I respond to a message for instance in PCBoard echo,   
   RF> never see it hit the boards.   
      
   First, get a mail-/QWK-reader. MultiMail is a FREE and decent QWK reader   
   available for most operating systems. Instead of the built-in editor I   
   would recommend the old Windows "EDIT.COM" or the "The Semware Editor"   
   (TSE4JR.ZIP), formerly QEdit, though not free and I think awailable also   
   for Windows.   
      
   Then create a directory for the incoming/outgoing mail.   
      
   Then, by issuing the command "qw d" at a PCB command promt from SYSOP-..,   
   download a QWK packet that will contain messages from the areas you have   
   subscribed to. PCB will ask where to put the downloaded mail packet.   
      
   You must get your mail-/QWK-reader to pull in the messages from the QWK-   
   packet you have downloaded. That is specified in the setup of the mail   
   program.   
      
   Your reply or originating messages will be packed into a QWK packet to   
   the same directory as the received mail.   
      
   Then, when finished, go to a PCB command prompt from SYSOP-.. and issue   
   the command, "qw u". PCB will ask for the directory of the packet and   
   will then import it for further distribution to your host.   
      
   Next time you pull in a qwk packet from you host, you will also receive   
   copies of your sent messages.   
      
   Any questions??   
      
   Have a nice day,   
      
   Holger
