Sending ccr mail

[send to :dave@keys.ccrcentral.net/10000 subject "testing mail" text "this is where i desperately want to type a newline and can in version 89!!"]

ccr commands, as you know, use keywords. The keywords for a mail message are bolded in the example above.
Address mail to the soul (_Link, MateID) of the recipient.
The :mailbox is where you go to get your mail.
The :mailroom is where ccr does routing and stuff.
The message in the example is true! In version 89, you can now type <return>s inside [structures] and it won't terminate the command. To 'activate' the input you have to type a return when at the end of the input, or type <Shift-Return> from anywhere.
This is a user-incompatible change! ?:woof<ret> will no longer focus on :woof! It'll just give you:
[focus on :woof
]
For backward compatibility, a button is provided to control the sense of <return> and <Shift-Return>. The button defaults to <return> meaning terminate command and <Shift-Return> to mean insert a return.
In version 88, an inadvertent <Return> eliminated the message with no hope of getting it back without re-entering the whole thing. However, there was a way around it: Insert a newline in the command buffer by typing ctrl-o ctrl-n, where ctrl-o will 'open up' a new line, and ctrl-n will 'go to the next line' (the empty line you just made).
When you have unread mail, the Status Bar will display Mail(x) at the end of the line, where x, the number in the parentheses is how many messages you have not read yet.
To remove mail from your :mailbox, select the message to unbind it.
