clarification on ships email address charges

[osogrito]

i was a little confused on the personal ships email address that they provide for each ---here is their clarification sent to another cruiser

 

sounds like a good way to get messages and can always answer when in port to save on minutes or at least consolidate for outbound on ship messages
