>   Electronic mail (e-mail) lets you send typed messages to other
>   Chebucto Community Net members, and to people anywhere in the world,
>   as long as they have an Internet e-mail address. Chebucto Community
>   Net uses a mail managing program called Pine to send, recieve, read,
>   write and store mail. To get to Pine, type "g mail" and press [ENTER].
>   You will arrive in your new mail folder. If there is any, it will
>   appear as a list. Type "m" to go to the Pine main menu or "v" to view
>   mail. You can also read your mail by using the arrow keys to select a
>   message and then hit the right arrow or [ENTER] to read the message.
>   
>   There are also a number of other functions that the user can set for
>   Pine. These include using Pine to read and post to Newsgroups and
>   other configuration options. The Community Net Keymap does not operate
>   in Pine, it has instead its own sets of commands in its different
>   sections. Remember that, '^' means to hold down the Control key while
>   pressing the other key.

>   Type in the e-mail addresses you want to send mail to. If you are

>   name (such as aa001), or if the person is in your address book then
>   you can just type the nickname you gave the person. When you move the

>   Delete key

>                                      addressees.
>
>   ^C  Cancel      Stop sending this message.  Anything you have composed
>                   is lost.  You have a chance to confirm cancellation.
>
>   ^R  Rich Hdr    Expand the header to show the Bcc: (Blind Carbon Copy)
>                   and Fcc: (File Carbon Copy) fields, so they can be
>                   edited. Giving this command again hides these fields
>                   again but does not remove the information.
>
>   ^J  Attchmnts   Use this command to attach a file to a message.
>                   First you will be prompted for the file name, and then
>                   a description of the file you just attached.  Once the
>                   file is attached it will be displayed in the
>"Attchmnts:"
>                   line in the message header with its size.  The
>                   contents of the file won't actually show in your
>                   message.
>
>   ^Y  Prev Page   Go back one page in the message text.
>
>   ^V  Next Page   Go forward one page in the message text.
>
>   ^K  Del Line    Delete the entire line the cursor is currently on.
>                   The last batch of lines that were deleted one after
>                   another is  saved so they can be undeleted elsewhere.
>
>   ^U  Undel Line  Undelete the last line or series of lines you
>                   deleted.  To delete a series of lines and move them to
>                   another part of your message addresses  be sure to
>                   delete them all at once.
>                   Using the Del Line and Undel Line commands is a
>                   convenient way to rearrange the order of addresses in
>                   the To: field, or move addresses between the To:, Cc:
>                   and Bcc: fields.
>
>   ^O  Postpone    Temporarily stop working on the current message so you
>                   may read other messages, or compose another message.
>                   You can then resume working on the postponed message
>                   by going back in to compose.  You will be asked if you
>                   want to continue the postponed message.  Only one
>                   message can be postponed at a time.  When you are
>                   ready to resume entering your message, choose
>                   Compose.  At that point you will be prompted with the
>                   question "Continue work in progress?". Choose yes and
>                   your existing message will appear.  Choose no, and you
>                   will be given a blank screen to compose a new
>                   message.  You may resume composing the previously
>                   postponed message later.
>
>   ^T  To AddrBk   Go into the address book so you can browse through
>                   your addresses.  Put the cursor on the entry you want
>                   to send mail to and give the command to select the
>                   address ("S" Select).  You will return to the
>                   To:field, and the address will be filled in.  You may
>                   go into the address book several times to pick several
>                   addresses.
>
>  Address formats
>  
>   E-mail addresses can be structured many different ways. The most
>   common way is:
>   
>   somone@somehost Where somehost is usually the name of the system
>   followed by abreviations for where the system is located. Such as
>   CCN's address:
>   
>   chebucto.ns.ca This tells the people that the machine is chebucto and
>   that it is in Nova Scotia, Canada. So a full address would be:
>   
>   aa001@chebucto.ns.ca But there can also be more complicated addresses
>   that you may have to use. Just make sure that you use the address that
>   people give you and it should work. Remember, that uppercase and
>   lowercase letters makes a difference! Also, there are never spaces in
>   any e-mail address.
>   
>   If the person you are sending mail to is on the same system (CCN in
>   this case) then you can just enter their user name and the rest of the
>   address will fill in automatically. So you could just type in:
>   
>   aa001 and when you moved out of the to: field the whole address would
>   be filled in (aa001@chebucto.ns.ca).
>   
>   Sometimes a person's email address has their name and then in brackets
>   there is the e-mail address:
>   
>   John Smith <aa001@chebucto.ns.ca>
>   
>   In these cases you only need to enter the address (without the
>   brackets). When you fill out someone's email address on the same
>   system (CCN) then it will also automatically fill in their name.

>   The Carbon Copy field in general
>   
>   The Cc: field is just like the To: field, except it is used for
>   addressees that you wish to send a carbon copy to. That is, the
>   message is not directly addressed to these recipients, but you wanted
>   them to see the message. The only difference the recipients see is
>   that their name is in the Cc: field, rather than the To: field.

>   All of the things that you can do with addresses in the to: field you
>   can also do in the cc: field.

>   This field shows the attachments or other "parts" of the message you
>   are composing.
>   
>   The most common use for this field will be to attach a file to your
>   mail message. You can just type the file name here and if the file is
>   found and accessible it will be "attached". You will know it is
>   attached when the size of the file is shown. You can also add a
>   description of the file between the quote marks "". You can remove and
>   edit attachments to your messages by editing the items in this field.
>   If you delete the line, the file will not be included in your message.
>   When you attach a file, it will not actually be shown in your message,
>   but if the line is the "Attchmnts:" field, the file will be included.
>   
>   Typing the file name here achieves the same result as using the ^J
>   command.
>   
>   If some one sends you a message with different parts or attachments,
>   you may forward that message with its different parts if you like.
>   When you do this the parts will show up in the "Attchmts" field too,
>   but they will be in square brackets "[]". These attachments can be
>   images, files, other messages, sounds and even video. The type will be
>   shown. You can remove these attachments if you like by deleting the
>   line from the field. This is something you might want to do often
>   because messages with attachments can become very large and it is
>   better to send smaller messages if that will do.

>   file can then be edited, downloaded or used otherwise. The message
>   will be written to the file with a small amount of the mail header

>   
>   Editing exported files is safe. Be aware, however, that it is not
>   always safe to edit a Pine email folder directly.
>   
>   To export a document, select it and then press "e". You will be asked
>   for a filename (one is provided as a default) and where you want to
>   export it - your personal files is the default for this.

>   next new message in the folder (a new message is one you have not read
>   before). When reading news folders, Pine cannot tell which messages

>   message is always highlighted, and its message number is shown in the
>   status line. Each message line contains the following columns:
>   
>   Status
>          The first column shows the status of the message. It may be
>          blank, or it may contain a "D" if the message is marked for
