A New E-mail Feature added to NFB-NEWSLINE for telephone and Web News on 
Demand users

The E-Mail system on NFB-NEWSLINE has been modified to allow you to send a 
section of a publication or the full text of a publication directly to your 
E-Mail in box.

For a number of years, you have been able to press the pound nine key while 
listening to a publication article and have it sent to you via e-mail for 
your personal use Now NFB-NEWSLINE has released a new feature that will 
still allow you to receive that publication article like you have grown to 
enjoy. , and in addition you can now have the full publication or a section 
of that publication sent to you via e-mail as well!

Here is how it works on the telephone, navigate to an article of the 
publication of interest and press the pound key, followed by the nine key 
you will now be presented with a menu that will have three options. After 
pressing pound nine, you will hear a prompt saying, Please indicate which 
part of this content you would like to receive by e-mail. In order to get 
the text of the current article sent to you in the body of an e-mail, press 
2, In order to get the full section that contains the article that you are 
listening to sent to you via e-mail, press 3, And in order to get the full 
publication containing all the articles for that issue delivered to your in 
box, press 4. Finally, press the 1 key to verify your email address and 
return back to the article that you were reading, prior to pressing the 
pound nine key combination.

Those of you using the NFB-NEWSLINE Online Service to read your publications 
on Web News on Demand can also e-mail full copies of the publications and 
full sections of those publications to yourselves. To have the entire full 
publication sent to you in e-mail, select your publication of interest and 
then click on the E-mail full paper or E-mail full magazine link, depending 
on the type of publication that you are reading. Now if you wish only a 
specific section of a publication, first select the publication of interest, 
followed by the selection of the particular section desired, next click on 
the full section link that contains the name of the section that you wished 
to be e-mailed to you. Finally, click on the E-mail section link which will 
cause NFB-NEWSLINE to send the e-mail to your in box.

No matter if you have the e-mail sent to you by using the telephone system 
or Web News on Demand, the e-mail that you receive when you request a full 
publication or a section of a publication will come to you with one 
compressed zip file attached.

The next step is to open the compressed zip file attachment, once the zip 
file is opened, you will see another file inside that is the actual 
newspaper. This file may or may not have a .htm extension, depending on the 
configuration setup of your computer. Now you need to open the actual 
publication file by pressing enter on it after it has been selected. When 
this file opens a box will pop up telling you that this is a password 
protected file, please enter your password. The password will be unique to 
each subscriber, and consist of your six digit identification code, followed 
by a dash and your security code. There are no spaces in this password. For 
example, my identification code is 028272 and my security code is 4265. 
Therefore, my unique individual password is 028272-4265.

The publication file that you just opened by using your password can be 
navigated by the heading commands of your screen access software. For 
instance, press the h key to move around to the different sections and 
articles contained in this publication. Depending on the screen access 
software that you are using on your computer, you may have more navigation 
options available to you.

These e-mail publications are solely intended for your personal use and 
should not be shared with others under any circumstances. To do so, violates 
our agreements with publishers and may cause you to lose NFB-NEWSLINE 
privileges.

For further assistance on using the new modified e-mail system or any other 
feature of NFB-NEWSLINE, please call 866-504-7300.

We hope that you enjoy using this new feature and welcome your feedback.

Director of NFB-NEWSLINE
