To get started.
- Open up AirMail
- Open your Address book
- Create a new entry with a name like farkwar and a to of the secret email address you got in step 2
- Check the "Add position footer for this address
- Click OK
Now compose a message using your new address book entry. Whatever you put in the body of your email will be the Log that we record and send to your followers. Note: You won't see the position in the footer, that's ok!
Now, send your message. Wait a minute and reload your boat's map. You should see a new push pin Whatever you put in the body will be automagically added to the pushpin as a note. Cool huh?!
Note: We have discovered that it is possible to tell winlink/sailmail to suppress all footers or truncate footers. Clearly this would cause problems for us. If your position reports aren't showing up, you might try adding -footer to the bottom of your message.
