mailmess

Usage: mailmess [user_handle | n[-m]]

The "mailmess" command will send one, some, or all of your messages to your
e-mail address in your user profile. Your messages are not deleted from the
server when using the mailmess command.

PARAMETERS
----------

no parameter If you do not add any parameter you will receive all your
             messages to your email address.
user_name    Using a user handle as parameter you will send all the message
             you have received from that particular user to your email
             address.
n            Using a number as parameter will send the message identified by
             that particular number to your email address.

             your email address all your messages with identification number
             between "n" and "m", n and m included.

NOTES
-----

 1. It is possible to see what e-mail address is in your profile with the
    "finger" command.

 2. It may take a little time for your messages to arrive in your e-mail
    address's inbox, since the FICS server queues all mails and sends them
    every 5 minutes.

 3. You may have all of your messages automatically forwarded to your e-mail
    address as they arrive using the mailmess variable.
