                                Carbon Copying

     Carbon copy (CC) is a way to  send the same message to a number  of
     people  without  the  trouble  of  manually  entering and copying a
     message for each  of them. The  CC works only  in netmail or  local
     areas.  You  can  send  any  message,  including  fileattaches  (in
     netmail) with the CC function.

     Carbon copies are created by  putting the string "CC:" followed  by
     one or more names or addresses, separated by commas, on one or more
     lines at the beginning of the message. The names and addresses must
     follow the  same rules  as when  using the  lookup function  in the
     netmail header.

      Example:

          CC: 16, Joergensen, #236/512

     If you put a "#" in front  of a name or address, that node  will be
     left out of the list, but will still receive a carbon copy.

     You can also use address macros (see the NAMESFILE keyword) instead
     of names or addresses.

     If you often send  carbon copies to the  same people, it can  get a
     bit tedious to  type (and remember)  every time. Therefore  you can
     also specify a file with the names and addresses:

      CC: @TESTERS.LST

     Files names and addresses can be mixed on the same line. The  lines
     in  the  file  must  be  the  same  format  as above. No nesting is
     allowed: You can't specify files within files.

     When you save the CC message, GoldED will scan the message text  to
     find and process the CC: lines. When this is done, a menu will  pop
     up and allow you change the format of the CC: lines, the attributes
     of the CC messages or drop the copies.

     When processing  the CC  list, GoldED  will check  each node in the
     nodelist and pop up the nodelist  browser in case of more than  one
     match or if the node was not found.


                               Crossposting

     Crosspost is similar to Carbon Copy, except that instead of sending
     copies  to  a  list  of  persons,  it  posts copies of a message in
     several  different  conferences.  Typical  usage is announcement of
     files, vital BBS  information and other  general interest info.  To
     crosspost a message is simple - just add lines in this format:

      XC: <echoid> [echoid] [..]

     The  "XC:"  must  be  the  first  three characters on the line. The
     <echoid> must be valid echoid's defined in GoldED. Example:

      XC: GOLDED, NEWFILES_R23.PRO, ENET.SOFT

     This would produce the following output in the message:

      * Crossposted in GOLDED
      * Crossposted in NEWFILES_R23.PRO
      * Crossposted in ENET.SOFT

     And post it in the conferences.

     Please  moderate  your  use  of  this  feature  - it adds duplicate
     information to the mail flow, and excessive use may be frowned upon
     by cost-sensitive individuals.

     TIP: If  you want  to keep  copies of  your messages  in a separate
     "outbox" echo, add this line to your message template(s):

     xc: #@cecho, #outbox

     This will automatically crosspost your msg to the OUTBOX area  (you
     must define or have an area with that echoid). The '#' tells GoldED
     that you don't want the crosspost  to be noted in the msgs.  The "@
     cecho"  is  a  template  token  which  is replaced with the current
     echoid.

     The only drawback to this tip is  that there is no way to see  what
     area the original msg was posted in when looking at the msgs in the
     OUTBOX area.
