How to send Private Mail in ThrobNet. Private mail is only allowed in the THROBMAIL conference! Private mail creates a special problem here on ThrobNet. First off you need to understand 2 things. 1st, private mail isn't really private. The sysop's of any/all BBS's have the right to monitor, change, delete and or make public, *ANY* message tha comes across their system. Generally this isn't done, but you should be aware that it *MIGHT* be done. If what you are saying must be held truly private, then for god's sake, use the US Mail or the telephone! 2nd, ThrobNet supports many different types of mailing programs, but this won't make it hard for you to send private mail. While entering your message (whether online or offline) simply mark the message as private (usually PVT). When uploaded to your local BBS please take the time to make sure that it got inserted properly into the Throbmail Conference (this is the only avenue for sending private messages throughout the network). Double check to make sure it is marked private. If it's not private, then you should remove the message, and try again. If after several attempts, it still remains as a public message, then please notify ThrobNet admin. and we will get in touch with your sysop and try to get it working properly.
