Saving a Message as a Story

Saving a Message as a Story
Unless you save a message you have read, it will be erased when you log out of iNEWS.
To save a message as a story:
1. Select Communicate > Messages > Show History (or press Shift-F8).
The Message History dialog box opens.
2. Select the message you want to save.
3. Click Save.
When you save a message from the Message History dialog box, the iNEWS system
displays a Select Queue dialog box, where you can specify the queue the story to which it
should belong. The iNEWS system gives the message the name of "Saved Messages" and
enters your name as the writer in the story form.
One or more messages can be saved as a story in iNEWS. When multiple messages are
saved, each message will generate a line that has the time stamp of when the message was
sent and by whom.
Sending an Intersystem Message
Intersystem Messaging is a feature for iNEWS that allows you to exchange messages with
another user on a remote iNEWS system or other third-party system with a compatible interface.
Intersystem messages can be sent from iNEWS Workstation sessions, and from the console send
utility.
An intersystem send is attempted whenever a message send request has a recipient name which
includes a @ symbol. Intersystem messages are sent in the form:
<user name>@<system name>
