-
-<P>You can send and receive both personal mail and bulletins with DXSpider
-quite easily.</P>
-
-<H2><A NAME="ss9.1">9.1</A> <A HREF="usermanual.html#toc9.1">The "directory" command.</A>
-</H2>
-
-<P>To list mail you would use the <B>DIRECTORY</B> command. On its
-own, this command will output the last ten messages received by the
-node, either to or from yourself or bulletins such as "DX" and "ALL".
-As with other commands you can display more by specifying a number
-with the command. You should be aware that Spider will accept
-these commands by separating with either a slash or a space, so
-<EM>dir new</EM> and <EM>dir/new</EM> work in the same way.</P>
-<P><B>Example:</B></P>
-<P>
-<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
-<PRE>
-directory
-directory/20
-directory 20
-</PRE>
-</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
-</P>
-<P>Of course most of the time you will only want to list new mail sent
-to you personally since your last login. However you might also like
-to check for general mail received by the node. In fact if there is
-new mail for you, the cluster will tell you when you login. You will
-also be informed if new mail arrives for you during the time you are
-logged in.
-Mail is not only sent to callsigns though. Mail can also be sent to
-subjects like "all" or "local" or "dx" etc. You can treat these
-bulletins in the same way as personal mail with the directory
-command.</P>
-<P><B>Examples:</B></P>

-<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
-<PRE>
-directory/new
-directory/own
-directory/own/10
-directory/all
-directory/from <call>
-</PRE>
-</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
- </P>
-<P>The last option will only show mail from a callsign if it was sent to
-you personally or was sent as a bulletin. There are some additional
-commands and these can be found in the DXSpider Command Reference section.</P>

-<P>The first column is the actual message number. If the message is a
-personal one to you, you will see a letter 'p' after this number. If
-the message has been read, there will be a '-' between the message
-number and the 'p'. This only works for personal messages. The next
-column shows the file size of the message. The third column shows the
-address the message was sent to and the next column shows who sent it.
-The rest is fairly self-explanatory.</P>
-<P>Reading a message is as simple as typing read, followed by the
-message number that you wish to read.</P>
-<P><B>Example:</B></P>
-<P>
-<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
-<PRE>
-read 25
-</PRE>
-</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
-</P>
-<P>will read message number 25. However the mail will be displayed in it's
-entirety unless you specify a page length. You can set your page length
-to any number you like and when the message reaches that number of lines
-you will get a prompt giving you options.</P>

-<H2><A NAME="ss9.3">9.3</A> <A HREF="usermanual.html#toc9.3">Sending mail.</A>
-</H2>
-
-<P>Sending mail is done in the time honoured way. First you specify
-a recipient for the message, then you will be prompted for a subject.
-Once you have done this you will be asked to type your message.
-Please remember that there is no automatic word wrap, so unless you
-are using a client that wraps lines automatically, remember to hit
-return at the end of each line.</P>
-<P><B>Example:</B></P>
-<P>
-<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
-<PRE>
-send m0azm
-Enter Subject (30 characters):
-See you Thursday
-Enter Message /EX to send or /ABORT to exit
-Hi Ian,
-Just a quick note to say that I can make Thursday after all. The
-appointment I had has cancelled so we are go!
-Cheers
-Ian
-</PRE>
-</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
-</P>
-<P>At this point you can either hit return and enter /ex to send the
-message or use /abort at any time to abort it. You can now display
-the message in the normal way. There are several send options and
-these are listed in the Command Set section. These include sending
-mail to several recipients and asking for a return receipt.</P>

-</H2>
-
-<P>If mail is addressed to you or to a bulletin address, you can use the
-<B>REPLY</B> command to reply to it. Using this command, the
-subject will be automatically set for you as "Re: subject", whatever
-the subject was. </P>

-</H2>
-
-<P>To delete a message, you use the <EM>delete</EM> command.
-You can only delete messages sent to or received by yourself.
-Bulletins are dealt with automatically or by the sysop.</P>
