Nope. It isn't possible to send "private" mail via an echo.
For future reference, you have to use what's called "Netmail", which
requires you to send it directly to that user's home bbs via a numeric
address. For example, MY netmail address is 1:2410/400. You'd go to your
bbs's Netmail area, address mail to my name, that numeric address, and
then post the message. The system sends it private, directly to me. For
Bobbi, you'd send netmail to Bobbi Brinker, 1:104/234.
Simply marking a Parrots Echo message as "private" on your home bbs
won't make it go out privately--the echoes don't have that capability.
