Instructions for Posting directly from an email browser

A user has two ways to Post and/or Reply to messages directly from their email browser. If a user receives an email notifying him/her of a new message being posted, they can click on the Post or Reply buttons embedded within the email notification message itself, or use the following procedure to post directly from their email program:

To Post a new message or Reply to an existing message send an email to:   xxxx@bulletinboards.org
where xxxx is your unique Board Code identifier.

You may need to include one or more of the following options in the Subject line when posting a message via an email message
(without the quotes, but do include the brackets):

     "[f=xx]" where xx is the forum you're message is to be posted into
         (this option is required, unless posting into the first forum)
         xx is the forum/category number, for example xx would be 4,
         if posting into the 4th category/forum listed on your board.
     "[n=xx]" where xx is the name of the poster (optional)
     "[m=xx]" where xx is the msgid of the message being replied to
         (this option is required if replying to a message)

Also, make sure you include a short message title in the Subject line.

For example, the Subject line, for an email message that is to be
posted into the 3rd forum of a board, with board code "Heaven",
might look like this:
    Thoughts on Jim's proposal [f=3][n=Tom Jones]

The composed email should be sent to:
heaven@bulletinboards.org
