telegram <country>
* | & | ! | @
Sends a telegram to another country. A telegram is ended by an end-of-file
marker (control-backslash) or by a period (.) on a line by itself.
Private telegrams are sent by giving a single country name or number (a
number MUST be used is the country name has spaces in it). A public message
can be sent by entering '*' for the country name. This will send a copy of
the message to every ACTIVE player that has LESS THAN 6k in their mailbox
(they can still receive private mail). Remember, this sends a COPY of the
file, not just a pointer as on a BBS, so if you send a 1k message, the
system will need to make up to 45 copies (45k), and this could take up time.
You will be told who it is sending a copy to and who it is skipping over.
You may also send telegrams to countries based on your diplomatic relations
to them. Using & will send a copy of the telegram to all countries that
you are ALLIED with, using ! will send a copy of the telegram to
all countries you are at WAR with, and using @ will send a copy of the
telegram to all countries you are neutral towards.
