[nos-bbs] reply/forward with included message

[Michael Fox - N6MEF]

Thanks Jerry,

 

We typically use Outpost for the client for both JNOS and Winlink, and it can do that, too.

 

But, I should have been more specific in my question.  I’m wondering if it’s possible to do the things below from the JNOS mailbox command line.  (Perhaps some compile option or something that isn’t obvious from reading the manual).

I use a mail program like Outlook Express and use POP and SMTP to get and send mail to JNOS. Linux JNOS runs down the basement and my mail program upstairs in my shack. I have a JNOS mail account in Outlook Express that points to my JNOS machine along with my e-mail and Winlink mail. I get and send mail over the home network. Replies and forwards look just like e-mails.

Subject: [nos-bbs] reply/forward with included message

 

Two questions in one.

 

Reply:

When I read a message, and then type SR, the subject line becomes “RE: <original-subject>” and I can type my reply, but the original message is not included.  I’ve seen replies from others which include the original text marked with “>”.  Is there a way to do that?

 

Forward:

When I receive a message, and then type SF, I get the chance to enter a subject, but nothing else.  Usually, when forwarding a message to someone, you at least type something like “check this out…”.  Is there a way to type a preample before the forwarded message?

 

Thanks,

Michael
