This looks promising too:

"*Peer-to-Peer*

One useful feature of the WinLink system is the ability to send e-mails 
between clients without using a gateway to the internet.
This is called Peer to Peer (P2P). It is very useful for field 
operations, where there is no internet or if the internet is not available.

So, how do you do it?

  * Both stations must have RMS Express functioning correctly and be
    able to connect to each other, either direct or through one or more
    digipeater.
  * Compose an e-mail in RMS Express making sure to click the
    Peer-to-Peer Message choice at the top of the e-mail.
      o The ‘To:’ field
          + Enter call sign of the station you wish to send the e-mail
            to. This is the call sign that the receiving station uses
            for their RMS station (RMS Express Properties: My Callsign).
          + Only one recipient is allowed for a peer to peer message.
  * Post the P2P message to the Outbox.
  * Open a ‘Packet P2P’ Session.
  * Set the connection type to Direct or Digipeater.
  * Enter the call sign of the RMS Station you wish to connect P2P with.
    This will be the same callsign you addressed the e-mail to.
  * Enter any digipeaters if needed.
  * Click start to connect and send your e-mail."
