Thanks there Dumas ~ I had already kind of seen that myself as well.
Not that I was saying anything that needed to personal, just
testing. Of course I realize that pretty much anything you post or
put out there will never be private.

you can send them a personal msg via qwk
username@hub/node

I will have to give that a try! Thanks again there MRO, I should
start reading the FM instead of waiting for you to point me in the
right direction...

Thanks for the screenshot, but when I try to find your node (based
on the image), I don't get the same results as shown in your pic.

I tried doing a quick search on how to find your userid@node, but
maybe didn't phrase it correctly. At the risk of incurring your
wrath, can you point me in the right direction to find out? (I know
I said I shouldn't ask...)

Great subject btw.

Thanks,

Cougar

I download QWK packets for a reader.

I tried sending netmail from the board interface (non-private), and
also tried to send a private message. (telegram)

The private message asked for user/node and I tried the same thing I
used for netmail but the interface stated 'unknown user'.

So am I missing the node?

okay you didn't say you were using a reader.

I tried sending netmail from the board interface (non-private), and

how did you do it? through the reader? or via the bbs?

also tried to send a private message. (telegram)

that's entirely different.

The private message asked for user/node and I tried the same thing I
used for netmail but the interface stated 'unknown user'.

i'm not sure what you're trying. you're mixing together 3 things.
qwk and ftn have different syntaxes. a telegram is just a bbs function on synchronet.

also your reader could be an issue.

I used the main read mail function, then selected netmail on the
bbs. When I tried sending a private email from the QWK packet
reader (BlueWave 2.20 with Y2K update), I found it was not private
but sent to all.

also tried to send a private message. (telegram)

that's entirely different.

When I tried to send private mail from Vert main message menu using
E to enter, I selected private and it came up with a few selections
such as telegram, chat, netmail etc. I tried a few but got errors.
This is what I was mentioning below.

The private message asked for user/node and I tried the same thing I
used for netmail but the interface stated 'unknown user'.

i'm not sure what you're trying. you're mixing together 3 things.

function on synchronet.

Due to my ignorance of the systems, I was trying whatever I could
manage. Telegram and Netmail.

also your reader could be an issue.

The reader is BlueWave 2.20 with the Y2K patch.

So if I wanted to send you an FTN private message, how would I find
out your user/node from the board? Thanks for any assistance you
provide. Apologies for the newb questions. I really am smarter
than a box of rocks, I think.

To send email via QWK, you need to post the message to conference #0.

such as telegram, chat, netmail etc. I tried a few but got errors.

All email and netmail is private, or as private as you can expect at least. There is non-private email or netmail option, they are implicitly private.
I think you're confusing the private inter-node and inter-BBS communications (via the Ctrl-P hotkey) with email. They're very different things.
