You're misquoting. Neither of us mentioned the situation being complete.
Watch how you use those {-pu'} suffixes, okay?

"As for the data-transmission's thing which manipulates by hand,
it is PMAIL for the benefit of DOS."
nuqjatlh? yoy'law' mu'tlheghvam, 'ej Hujbej <raQwI'>.
I really don't like putting nouns with type 5 suffixes other than {-Daq}
before a pronoun used as a verb. Even if it can be interpreted to make
some sort of grammatical sense, it feels extremely contrived.
Actually, this whole sentence looks like a direct translation from
"The email handler is PMAIL for DOS." Ugh.
