You said "SuStel"? Why? Are you trying to get my attention? Why not say
{SuStel, yIqIm!}

The first part of this is actually a sentence-as-object. {ghItlhmey vIlaDtaH
'e' vInID}. I put the {-taH} on {laD} because you're not allowed to put
aspect suffixes on the second verb of a sentence-as-object.
Actually, you're not reading "manuscripts." That's what {ghItlh} means. Our
preferred term is {jabbI'ID} "data transmission," since that's exactly what
e-mail is.
jabbI'IDmey vIlaDtaH 'e' vInID 'ach mu'meyvam vImughlaHbe'.

Yes. It's in TKD.
