It was well known I couldnt access the ZCC traffic while at sea but
that I
could be netmailed via Dale at need and Bob could divert netmail to
Dale if it was something critical.
Hmmmm ... so you are saying that your netmail was monitored by a 3rd party?
No, only that it was in transit with a trusted party, same as any other routed message. Anything really private was emailed to my shipboard account (after maybe routing a netmail to ask what that was if they didnt have it)..
The diversion by Bob was automatic routing if I remembered to tell him I was underway. If I forgot, it sat there pending on his end until I got in port again.
Most stuff waited for me to get back in port but if a person changed phone numbers and needed an update or something like that, it routed through Dale to me in a BW packet (also does netmail) and sent automated via email to my ship account, then copied to floppy and read on my laptop while underway. 'BeeBopping to the Beat of the Bream' was my signature line when underway.
There were occasional netmail CC's to Bob to ask the netmail be passed on and that is all that was meant.
Some of this goes back 17 years now so no real details recalled on any actual netmails other than a few lively ones from Barry (Z3 and predated me in Z6 as a substantial feed site there).
