37 <p>It is possible to have a <samp><span class="file">cmail</span></samp> message carry more than one game. 
38 This feature was implemented to handle IECG (International Email Chess
39 Group) matches, where a match consists of one game as white and one as black,
40 with moves transmitted simultaneously. In case there are more general uses,
41 <samp><span class="file">cmail</span></samp> itself places no limit on the number of black/white games
42 contained in a message; however, XBoard does.
