FORWARD, MAIL, MAILBOX
To send or read mail you have to go to a mail box. This is a special board where messages are addressed to one or many recipients.
To send mail, use:
> write <title> @<recipient> @<recipient> ...
The title is optional, but at least one recipient is needed.
Example:
> write Happy birthday @bilbo @frodo
How it goes on depends on your
editor. If you use the line
editor, please
read
help
editor
.

+
. A +
next to a sent mail indicates
it has been read by at least one
person on the recipient list.
To see exactly who has read a
mail, use look seen mail
or look sent seen mail
.
You can remove messages with
remove
<number>
, or
remove sent
<number>
, and
reply to a message with
reply
<number> <optional
title>
.
Note that the mail you create will become a single message which is accessible to the people you provide. As it only exists as one message, should any of the recipients delete it from their mail box, it will be deleted from all of the other, too — unless you use a selective remove.
To selectively remove mails:
remove
--from-my-inbox-only <number>
. You can also disavow a
mail by remove sent
--from-my-outbox <number>
; however, removing a mail from
your outbox causes the mail to appear as though the sender was deleted:
(*Lost*).
For Ainur, special recipients
are @valar
or
@aratar
,
which sends your mail to all V+ or all A+. Mortals should usually
report
instead.
