Messages to other Winlink users.<\/p>\n

To send messages to other Winlink users, simply enter their call sign in the \u201cTo\u201d field<\/p>\n

Messages to e-mail users<\/p>\n

You can send Winlink messages over RF to be transferred to standard e-mail users. Simply put their normal e-mail address in the \u201cTo\u201d field. However, in order for them to be able to reply to you through the Winlink system, their subject line must start with: \u201c\/\/WL2K\u201d This allows their message to pass through the Winlink system spam filters.<\/p>\n

Alternatively, you can add an email address to the whitelist by Winlink message. Send a message to SYSTEM, Subject: WHITELIST and in body ACCEPT:” who@whoville.net”. See https:\/\/www.winlink.org\/content\/how_manage_your_whitelist_spamcontrol<\/a> for more information<\/p>\n

You can also add them using your Winlink account at the Winlink.org site.<\/p>\n

Contacts<\/p>\n

As with standard e-mail programs, you can save contacts for future use. In the main Winlink Express window, click on Settings; \u201cContacts\u2026\u201d. You can add remove or edit frequently used addresses. Remember, for Winlink users, you only need to add their callsign to the E-mail field. You can also save standard e-mail addresses.<\/p>\n

Winlink Nets. There are two local Winlink nets. Unlike normal nets, there is no set time to check in. Simply send a Winlink message to the designated address on the designated day.<\/p>\n
