You have to manually ask the remote station to check your winlink mail 
each time, but the messages that the remote station downloads for you 
will be automatically transmitted from the remote station to you.

It is done at the station that is gatewaying between RF and the 
Internet/Winlink servers.  After the message is downloaded and decoded, 
the message is then in D-RATS format and uses D-RATS compression.

The decompression happens at the first D-RATS station in the chain. So, 
if your D-RATS gateway is talking to winlink via RMS station, then the 
B2F decompression happens at that D-RATS gateway.
