I am just getting started with Airmail 2000 on the Army MARS digital network, and I am having a little trouble, and was hoping someone could help out.
First off, just to get started I connected to our gateway station using Airmail in the keyboard mode. Once linked to the gateway, I was able to manually read the messages and bulletins.
I then tried connecting to the gateway using the automated BBS mode in Airmail. I get linked, Airmail checks for new messages addressed to me and then disconnects. I would like it to download the bulletins, so I can view and print them without being connected to the gateway.
I went into the catalog in Airmail as the help files suggest, and in the tree under winlink it lists the callsign of the gateway station. After clicking on that, I was able to check the box next to the option to request a complete bulletin list. After closing the catalog, and connecting back up, it never requests the list from the gateway, it just checks for my messages and disconnects. When I return to the catalog, it stills shows I have checked the box to request a list of the bulletins.
Hope this makes since so far. Anybody have any idea what I need to take a look at? I'm hoping AAA9AC will jump in here, I know John uses Airmail extensively and can probably answer my question.
Thanks,
Evan, AAR7IS
