message


Usage:  message [<account name> [message]]
     'message' leaves a message for an account, or reads messages left 
     for you.
     		Example:  message tim Thanks for the server.
     Each message left is appended to the previous message. You will be
     notified if you have a message when you enter IGS.  You will see:
     	        You have a message.   or   You have # lines of messages.

     To read messages, enter:  message
     To delete messages, enter:  erase

     A message will have this format, which includes the time:
         (account name) MM/DD/YY hh:mm: Thanks for the server.
         Example:  Ivan 09/23/96 11:30: Thanks for the server.

     Please try to restrict the line length of a message. Some players will
     lose part of a message over 80 characters on a line. Messages over 30
     days old are automatically deleted. Periodically _all_ messages are
     deleted from the system without notice. Therefore, it is a good idea not
     to store or archive important messages on IGS. You can mail your messages
     to your email address with:   mail me messages
