So an address book entry for a message which should always go via Sailmail would specify вЂњSailmailвЂќ in the Via box.Д«e sure to add a entry to your address book as above, that is how you send a note to the Sailmail support folks in case of any difficulties or questions. Messages posted to вЂњSailmailвЂќ will be sent to any Sailmail station which is connected to. Messages for Sailmail should be posted to the system name вЂњSAILMAILвЂќ rather than the station callsign. Messages to Sailmail are addressed to the gateway name вЂњEMAILвЂќ rather than вЂњNEXUSвЂќ, but Airmail will take care of this automatically. You can always change the posting with the File/Change Posting menu (or by right-clicking the message in the message index). This will cause any message to be automatically posted to that system, unless specified otherwise in the Address Book or Message Header вЂњViaвЂќ box.

There should be a default entry in your Auto-post list (Tools/Options, Routing Tab) that says вЂњDefault=SailmailвЂќ or вЂњDefault=WL2KвЂќ or whatever, if it is not there then add it. A message can also be posted вЂњWL2KвЂќ for any Winlink-2000 station, or to вЂњHamвЂќ to send it to any connected ham station. Sending messages to a ham station is done in the same way as before, by posting to the stationвЂ™s callsign (or multiple callsigns). To connect click the green вЂњConnectвЂќ button (or use the F5 key), exactly as before. So first select the appropriate system, then the station and (if the remote frequency interface is connected) then choose a frequency. When you choose a system it will remember the previous station and frequency and set the appropriate mode if required. When a second system is defined then a new pull-down box appears to the left of the вЂњStationвЂќ box in the Terminal Window, for вЂњSystemвЂќ вЂ“ HAM, SAILMAIL, etc. Airmail (as downloaded from the Airmail site) comes configured for the вЂњHamвЂќ system alone. Logically speaking, each system includes a set of stations, and each station includes a set of frequencies. In order to handle other stations such as Sailmail, a new level of control was created called вЂњSystemвЂќ.

(Alternately, send a blank message to: you restart Airmail it reads the definition file and makes the appropriate changes to airmail.ini to add a system called вЂњSailmailвЂќ in addition to вЂњHamвЂќ.

This is normally done by the same download that brought you this note. In order to activate the Sailmail mode for Airmail you need to copy a system definition file () to the airmail folder.
