[nos-bbs] Forward From a File

[Charles J. Hargrove]

mailmsg  <to_addr> ["<subject>"] "msg"

Mail a message to <to_addr> from <msguser>@<Hostname>. <msguser> can be 
set in the DOS environment (Set MSGUSER=<any_user_name>), and defaults 
to "sysop" if not set in the environment.  <subject> is optional, and 
must be quoted if it contains whitespace characters.  <msg> is either a 
string to be placed in the body of the message (quoted if it contains 
white-space characters) or the path to a file to be placed in the 
message body. A path must begin with forward or backward slashes, or a 
drive specification, otherwise it is taken to be a <msg> string.  This 
command is available if JNOS is compiled with MAILMSG #define'd.

Couple of examples :

      mailmsg n5knx "don't forget!"  "replenish the Cardhu"

      at 0400 "mailmsg jpd at usl.edu /stats.out+"

Note: the bm.exe program is often used to originate smtp messages in an 
automatic fashion, but requires that JNOS be shelled-out to run, and it 
is possible that memory may be insufficient to do this.  An alternative 
might be to use the mailbox "send" command, perhaps in conjunction with 
the upload command (to send a file), but this can't be easily automated. 
Hence the introduction of the mailmsg command.
