When there are several matches a short format is used which includes a 'handle' for each user, in brackets. Given the name of a person on the Internet and a rough description of where the person works, Netfind attempts to locate telephone and electronic mailbox information about the person. Netfind can only find Internet addresses on Unix machines. Email users can have access to many email-based services such as mail servers, mailing lists and associated archives across the Internet. You must be registered as an email user and have an account on a Unix machine.
Email programs have facilities for sending, receiving and forwarding messages.
Forwarding is like sending except that you embed another message inside the current one. Both Pine and Mail can embed text files in messages, but Pine can also attach a text or binary file to a message. If you have multiple accounts, you might want to forward your mail on some accounts so that your mail arrives in a single place. On other Unix machines, create a .forward file in your home directory containing a valid email address. For example, the Convex supercomputer has host name 'xaymaca' and our Campus domain name is 'uwimona.edu.jm'.
