Addressing Messages 

   *   A mail address tells HP Desk where to send a message, and consists
       of a location code and a sublocation code.  The location code is
       made up of 6 or less alphanumeric characters followed by a slash
       (/).  The sublocation code of 1 or 2 alphanumeric characters
       follows the slash.


            

       The short form of a mail address consists of a location code only.

   *   Your mail address is displayed at the top of the main menu.

   *   Usually, HP Desk automatically inserts a mail address after each
       name you type in a Distribution List.  However, sometimes HP Desk
       may not recognize a name, and you will be asked to type that
       user's mail address.  This may happen when you send a message to
       someone on another HP Desk system.

       As long as the address is correct, HP Desk delivers the message.
       If HP Desk cannot deliver a message it is returned to you with an
       explanation.  Any private messages that cannot be delivered are
       destroyed.

   *   To see a list of all the HP Desk mail addresses, and to find out
       which users are registered at each address, type ?  Return at the
       TO: prompt, or see "Looking Up a User Name" .

To send a message using a mail address: 

At the Distribution List prompt, type a name followed by a / and the
user's location code and press Return.  For example:

     TO: paul fielding/ACC120 Return 

If HP Desk does not accept the short form of the address, you must type
the address again and include the sublocation code.  For example:

     TO: paul fielding/ACC120/02 Return
