How do I send a message to a correspondent not at UD?

1. Start a Pine Mail session.
2. At the Main Menu screen press C to select Compose Message.
3. The cursor will be in the To field. Type the e-mail address of the person to whom you are sending the message.
• If the person reads mail on UD's central e-mail server (mail.udel.edu), you only need to type his or her UDelNet ID. After you press ENTER, Pine fills in the full address for the User ID you typed. You can use this feature to verify you've typed the e-mail address you intended.
• If the person does not read e-mail on UD's central e-mail server (mail.udel.edu), you must type the person's entire e-mail address in a format that looks similar to the following one:

  userid@computername.domain

  Pine will not automatically complete the full e-mail address for individuals who do not use UD's central e-mail server.

  For example, if your correspondent has an America Online (AOL) account, you would need to type his or her complete e-mail address in a format similar to the following one:
  

  userid@aol.com

  So, if your correspondent's userid is "tom," his e-mail address would be tom@aol.com

4. The next two fields in the header are optional--you can fill them in if you choose:
   • Cc: Send a copy of the message to someone else
     
   • Attchmnt: Attach a file to your message
     

5. Press ENTER.
6. In the Subject field, type a brief title describing your message.
   
7. Press the DOWN ARROW key or ENTER to move the cursor below the Message Text line. Type your message. You do not need to press ENTER when your text reaches the right-hand side of the screen. The text will wrap around to the next line automatically.
8. The options available while you compose a message are shown at the bottom of the screen. To use one of these options, you must hold down the CTRL key and press the indicated letter key (The ^ character represents the CTRL key.) For example, to cancel the message your are composing, press CTRL-X (^C on the screen).

Send the Message

1. Hold down the CTRL key and press X (^X). You will see the following program prompt:

   Send message?

2. Press Y to send the message or N to continue composing the message.

Important Note
Once you send the message, you cannot retrieve it. (However, a copy of the message you sent is saved in your sent-mail folder.)
