The "mailmess" command will send one, some, or all of your messages to your

server when using the mailmess command.

             messages to your email address.

             you have received from that particular user to your email
             address.

NOTES
-----

 1. It is possible to see what e-mail address is in your profile with the
    "finger" command.

 2. It may take a little time for your messages to arrive in your e-mail
    address's inbox, since the FICS server queues all mails and sends them
    every 5 minutes.

 3. You may have all of your messages automatically forwarded to your e-mail
    address as they arrive using the mailmess variable.
