You can e-mail a pager from the Internet or any e-mail client, such as Groupwise, by using the address alias@pager.niu.edu (alias being the pager number or other name that is assigned to the pager). Appointments, tasks, notes, and phone messages can be sent to a pager. For example, if you send an appointment to a pager, the pager screen will show:
Following is a list of what will appear on the pager screen from a normal e-mail message:
Name: 16 characters
The first 16 characters will appear on the top line of the pager followed by a comma.
Subject: 37 characters
The first 37 characters of the subject line will appear. This is easy to measure because it's the same length as the To: field located just above the Subject: field in GroupWise.
Message: 200 characters
This is about 2-1/2 lines of characters in the message box.
