How to send Private Mail in ThrobNet.
Private mail is only allowed in the THROBMAIL conference!
Private mail creates a special problem here on ThrobNet. First off
you need to understand 2 things. 1st, private mail isn't really
private. The sysop's of any/all BBS's have the right to monitor,
change, delete and or make public, *ANY* message tha comes across
their system. Generally this isn't done, but you should be aware that
it *MIGHT* be done. If what you are saying must be held truly
private, then for god's sake, use the US Mail or the telephone!
2nd, ThrobNet supports many different types of mailing programs, but
this won't make it hard for you to send private mail. While entering
your message (whether online or offline) simply mark the message as
private (usually PVT). When uploaded to your local BBS please take
the time to make sure that it got inserted properly into the
Throbmail Conference (this is the only avenue for sending private
messages throughout the network). Double check to make sure it is
marked private. If it's not private, then you should remove
the message, and try again. If after several attempts, it still remains
as a public message, then please notify ThrobNet admin. and we will
get in touch with your sysop and try to get it working properly.
