MCI MAIL (MCI)

This information is based on the Microsoft Mail for PC Networks gateway to MCI MAIL. It may be incomplete or out of date in certain respects. The custom recipient address is in the following format:

[MCI:UserName\r EMS:EMSName\r MBX:MCIMailbox]

MCI

MCI MAIL address indicator.

UserName

Name of mail recipient. Not used for mail delivery.

EMS

Indicates the name or number in the next field is the recipient's REMS (remote e-mail system) account.

EMSName

The actual EMS name or number. This can also be an MCI service provided by MCI; consult MCI Help for more information.

MBX

Indicates this is additional information required by the remote system.

MCIMailbox

Actual MBX (address) for the recipient on the remote system. If the remote system is Microsoft Mail, MCIMailbox is the full Microsoft Mail address. You can only have one complete MBX address.

There is always a space in front of the EMS: token and another space in front of each MBX: token. These spaces are required. The carriage-return symbol at the end of the line is in addition to whatever code your text editor inserts.

The actual message text requires a header separator after the TEXT: token. That is, the first line after TEXT: should be a line of 78 dash (-) characters to separate the header from the message text. Include these 78 characters in the TEXT count.

An example of this address type is:

[MCI:John Doe\r EMS:MCI Mail\r MBX:123-4567\r]
