(E)nter Message
---------------

Subcommands:  None

Description:  Allows you to place a message on the BBS.  After selecting
	      (E), you will first be prompted for your alias to use in
	      the message, if aliases are allowed in your current
	      conference.  You will then be prompted for who to send
	      the message to.  You may enter 'S' to send it to the sysop.
	      Hitting (Enter) will send the message to "ALL".  The user
	      which you chose to enter the message to might be checked
	      (depending upon the setup of this BBS) for existence, if the
	      user does not exist, you will be notified of it.  Next, you
	      will be prompted for the message subject.  If you hit (Enter)
	      at this prompt, you will be returned to the main menu.  After
	      entering the subject, you will be prompted for the message
	      security type.  You can get help on security types by
	      selecting '?'.  After message security, you will be prompted,
	      if you have ANSI on, whether you want to use the full screen
	      message editor, a vast improvement over the line editor (if
	      you have a full screen editor default set, you will not be
	      asked the full screen editor question).  Lastly, if the
	      message is not to "ALL", you will be prompted whether you
	      wish to receive a "return receipt" when the message is read
	      by the receiver.  This is a short notification message that
	      is sent to you by UltraBBS that tells you your message was
	      received.  After this, you will be able to enter the text of
	      the message.  Further help is available from most of the
	      other command line prompts.
