Forwarding
The MFJ TNC Mailbox now has the ability to Forward mail to most full service
and personal mailboxes. This feature allows you to compose your mail on your
TNC, at your leisure, and then Forward the resulting messages for eventual
delivery.
Messages may be forwarded any one of three ways either manually, by
command, or by automatic forward. You can either forward messages hourly, or
by your local full-service mailbox's reverse forward request.
Manual and hourly forwards may proceed through up to eight (8) digipeaters,
allowing the messages to be forwarded through ROSE switches. Also NODE

mailbox for the SYSOP's disposition.
All forwarding events are monitored on the screen, in order to inform the
SYSOP of the forwarding progress.
