[drats_users] email gateway setup

[Dan Smith]

Dave,

> You must set up a gateway station for both incoming and outgoing email

> Click add and enter the call sign of the station you wish to grant access. 
> 
> Choose incoming, outgoing, both (this is most likely what you will use), or
> none( this would be used for local email traffic non-internet)
> 
> Remember that the distant station must have a unique call sign (not the same

Thanks a lot for answering this so comprehensively.  This makes me
realize how out-of-date the InternetEmail page on the wiki is.  Later
today I'll try to get it updated to reflect all the new settings that
are involved.
