This is ! 65: particularly useful when using ! 66: .I mail ! 67: on noisy phone lines. ! 68: The ! 69: .B \-n ! 70: flag inhibits the reading of /usr/lib/Mail.rc. ! 71: .PP ! 72: .I "Sending mail.\ " ! 73: To send a message to one or more other people, ! 74: .I mail ! 75: can be invoked with arguments which are the names of people to ! 76: send to. You are then expected to type in your message, followed ! 77: by an \s-2EOT\s0 (control\-D) at the beginning of a line. ! 78: A subject may be specified on the command line by using the ! 79: .B \-s ! 80: flag. (Only the first argument after the ! 81: .B \-s ! 82: flag is used as a subject; be careful to quote subjects ! 83: containing spaces.) ! 84: The section below, labeled ! 85: .I "Replying to or originating mail," ! 86: describes some features of ! 87: .I mail ! 88: available to help you compose your letter. ! 89: .PP ! 90: .I "Reading mail.\ " ! 91: In normal usage ! 92: .I mail ! 93: is given no arguments and checks your mail out of the ! 94: post office, then ! 95: prints out a one line header of each message there. ! 96: The current message is initially the first message (numbered 1) ! 97: and can be printed using the ! 98: .B print ! 99: command (which can be abbreviated \fBp\fR). ! 100: You can move among the messages much as you move between lines in ! 101: .IR ed , ! 102: with the commands `+' and `\-' moving backwards and forwards, and ! 103: simple numbers. ! 104: .PP ! 105: .I "Disposing of mail.\ " ! 106: After examining a message you can ! 107: .B delete ! 108: (\fBd\fR) ! 109: the message or ! 110: .B reply ! 111: (\fBr\fR) ! 112: to it. ! 113: Deletion causes the ! 114: .I mail ! 115: program to forget about the message. ! 116: This is not irreversible; the message can be ! 117: .B undeleted ! 118: (\fBu\fR) ! 119: by giving its number, or the ! 120: .I mail ! 121: session can be aborted by giving the ! 122: .B exit ! 123: (\fBx\fR) ! 124: command. ! 125: Deleted messages will, however, usually disappear never to be seen again. ! 126: .PP ! 127: .I "Specifying messages.\ " ! 128: Commands such as ! 129: .B print ! 130: and ! 131: .B delete ! 132: can be given a list of message numbers as arguments to apply ! 133: to a number of messages at once. ! 134: Thus ``delete 1 2'' deletes messages 1 and 2, while ``delete 1\-5'' ! 135: deletes messages 1 through 5. ! 136: The special name ``*'' addresses all messages, and ``$'' addresses ! 137: the last message; thus the command ! 138: .B top ! 139: which prints the first few lines of a message could be used in ! 140: ``top *'' to print the first few lines of all messages. ! 141: .PP ! 142: .I "Replying to or originating mail.\ " ! 143: You can use the ! 144: .B reply ! 145: command to ! 146: set up a response to a message, sending it back to the ! 147: person who it was from. ! 148: Text you then type in, up to an end-of-file, ! 149: defines the contents of the message. ! 150: While you are composing a message, ! 151: .I mail ! 152: treats lines beginning with the character `~' specially. ! 153: For instance, typing ``~m'' (alone on a line) will place a copy ! 154: of the current message into the response right shifting it by a tabstop. ! 155: Other escapes will set up subject fields, add and delete recipients ! 156: to the message and allow you to escape to an editor to revise the ! 157: message or to a shell to run some commands. (These options ! 158: are given in the summary below.) ! 159: .PP ! 160: .I "Ending a mail processing session.\ " ! 161: You can end a ! 162: .I mail ! 163: session with the ! 164: .B quit ! 165: (\fBq\fR) ! 166: command. ! 167: Messages which have been examined go to your ! 168: .I mbox ! 169: file unless they have been deleted in which case they are discarded. ! 170: Unexamined messages go back to the post office. ! 171: The ! 172: .B \-f ! 173: option causes ! 174: .I mail ! 175: to read in the contents of your ! 176: .I mbox ! 177: (or the specified file) ! 178: for processing; when you ! 179: .BR quit, ! 180: .I mail ! 181: writes undeleted messages back to this file. ! 182: The ! 183: .B \-u ! 184: flag is a short way of doing ! 185: "mail ! 186: .B \-f ! 187: /usr/spool/mail/user". ! 188: .PP ! 189: .I "Personal and systemwide distribution lists.\ " ! 190: It is also possible to create a personal distribution lists so that, ! 191: for instance, you can send mail to ``cohorts'' and have it go ! 192: to a group of people. ! 193: Such lists can be defined by placing a line like ! 194: .IP ! 195: alias cohorts bill ozalp jkf mark kridle@ucbcory ! 196: .PP ! 197: in the file \&.mailrc in your home directory. ! 198: The current list of such aliases can be displayed with the ! 199: .B alias ! 200: .B (a) ! 201: command in ! 202: .IR mail . ! 203: System wide distribution lists can be created by editing ! 204: /usr/lib/aliases, see ! 205: .IR aliases (5) ! 206: and ! 207: .IR sendmail (8); ! 208: these are kept in a different syntax. ! 209: In mail you send, personal aliases will be expanded in mail sent ! 210: to others so that they will be able to \fBreply\fR to the recipients. ! 211: System wide \fIaliases\fR are not expanded when the mail is sent, ! 212: but any reply returned to the machine will have the system wide ! 213: alias expanded as all mail goes through ! 214: .IR sendmail . ! 215: .PP ! 216: .I Mail ! 217: has a number of options which can be set in the ! 218: .I \&.mailrc ! 219: file to alter its behavior; thus ``set askcc'' enables the ``askcc'' ! 220: feature. (These options are summarized below.) ! 221: .SH SUMMARY ! 222: (Adapted from the `Mail Reference Manual') ! 223: .PP ! 224: Each command is typed on a line by itself, and may take arguments ! 225: following the command word. The command need not be typed in its ! 226: entirety \- the first command which matches the typed prefix is used. ! 227: For commands which take message lists as arguments, if no message ! 228: list is given, then the next message forward which satisfies the ! 229: command's requirements is used. If there are no messages forward of ! 230: the current message, the search proceeds backwards, and if there are no ! 231: good messages at all, ! 232: .I mail ! 233: types ``No applicable messages'' and ! 234: aborts the command. ! 235: .TP 12n ! 236: .B \- ! 237: Goes to the previous message and prints it out. If given a numeric ! 238: argument ! 239: .IR n , ! 240: goes to the ! 241: .IR n -th ! 242: previous message and prints it. ! 243: .TP ! 244: .B ? ! 245: Prints a brief summary of commands. ! 246: .TP ! 247: .B ! ! 248: Executes the \s-2UNIX\s0 shell command which follows. ! 249: .TP ! 250: .B Print ! 251: (\fBP\fR) ! 252: Like ! 253: .B print ! 254: but also prints out ignored header fields. See also ! 255: .B print ! 256: and ! 257: .B ignore. ! 258: .TP ! 259: .B Reply ! 260: (\fRR\fR) ! 261: Reply to originator. Does not reply to other ! 262: recipients of the original message. ! 263: .TP ! 264: .B Type ! 265: (\fTT\fR) ! 266: Identical to the ! 267: .B Print ! 268: command. ! 269: .TP ! 270: .B alias ! 271: (\fBa\fR) With no arguments, prints out all currently-defined aliases. With one ! 272: argument, prints out that alias. With more than one argument, creates ! 273: an new or changes an on old alias. ! 274: .TP ! 275: .B alternates ! 276: (\fBalt\fR) ! 277: The ! 278: .B alternates ! 279: command is useful if you have accounts on several machines. ! 280: It can be used to inform ! 281: .I mail ! 282: that the listed addresses are really you. When you ! 283: .B reply ! 284: to messages, ! 285: .I mail ! 286: will not send a copy of the message to any of the addresses ! 287: listed on the ! 288: .I alternates ! 289: list. If the ! 290: .B alternates ! 291: command is given with no argument, the current set of alternate ! 292: names is displayed. ! 293: .TP ! 294: .B chdir ! 295: (\fBc\fR) Changes the user's working directory to that specified, if given. If ! 296: no directory is given, then changes to the user's login directory. ! 297: .TP ! 298: .B copy ! 299: (\fBco\fR) ! 300: The ! 301: .B copy ! 302: command does the same thing that ! 303: .B save ! 304: does, except that it does not mark the messages it ! 305: is used on for deletion when you quit. ! 306: .TP ! 307: .B delete ! 308: (\fBd\fR) Takes a list of messages as argument and marks them all as deleted. ! 309: Deleted messages will not be saved in ! 310: .IR mbox , ! 311: nor will they be available for most other commands. ! 312: .TP ! 313: .B dp ! 314: (also \fBdt\fR) Deletes the current message and prints the next message. ! 315: If there is no next message, ! 316: .I mail ! 317: says ``at EOF.'' ! 318: .TP ! 319: .B edit ! 320: (\fBe\fR) Takes a list of messages and points the text editor at each one in ! 321: turn. On return from the editor, the message is read back in. ! 322: .TP ! 323: .B exit ! 324: (\fBex\fR or \fBx\fR) Effects an immediate return to the Shell without ! 325: modifying the user's system mailbox, his ! 326: .I mbox ! 327: file, or his edit file in ! 328: .BR \-f . ! 329: .TP ! 330: .B file ! 331: (\fBfi\fR) ! 332: The same as ! 333: .BR folder . ! 334: .TP ! 335: .B folders ! 336: List the names of the folders in your folder directory. ! 337: .TP ! 338: .B folder ! 339: (\fBfo\fR) ! 340: The ! 341: .B folder ! 342: command switches to a new mail file or folder. With no ! 343: arguments, it tells you which file you are currently reading. ! 344: If you give it an argument, it will write out changes (such ! 345: as deletions) you have made in the current file and read in ! 346: the new file. Some special conventions are recognized for ! 347: the name. # means the previous file, % means your system ! 348: mailbox, %user means user's system mailbox, & means ! 349: your \~/mbox file, and +folder means a file in your folder ! 350: directory. ! 351: .TP ! 352: .B from ! 353: (\fBf\fR) Takes a list of messages and prints their message headers. ! 354: .TP ! 355: .B headers ! 356: (\fBh\fR) Lists the current range of headers, which is an 18 message group. If ! 357: a ``+'' argument is given, then the next 18 message group is printed, and if ! 358: a ``\-'' argument is given, the previous 18 message group is printed. ! 359: .TP ! 360: .B help ! 361: A synonym for ? ! 362: .TP ! 363: .B hold ! 364: (\fBho\fR, also \fBpreserve\fR) Takes a message list and marks each ! 365: message therein to be saved in the ! 366: user's system mailbox instead of in ! 367: .IR mbox . ! 368: Does not override the ! 369: .B delete ! 370: command. ! 371: .TP ! 372: .B ignore ! 373: Add the list of header fields named to the ! 374: .IR "ignored list" . ! 375: Header fields in the ignore list are not printed ! 376: on your terminal when you print a message. This ! 377: command is very handy for suppression of certain machine-generated ! 378: header fields. The ! 379: .B Type ! 380: and ! 381: .B Print ! 382: commands can be used to print a message in its entirety, including ! 383: ignored fields. If ! 384: .B ignore ! 385: is executed with no arguments, it lists the current set of ! 386: ignored fields. ! 387: .TP ! 388: .B mail ! 389: (\fBm\fR) Takes as argument login names and distribution group names and sends ! 390: mail to those people. ! 391: .TP ! 392: .B mbox ! 393: Indicate that a list of messages be sent to ! 394: .I mbox ! 395: in your home directory when you quit. This is the default ! 396: action for messages if you do ! 397: .I not ! 398: have the ! 399: .I hold ! 400: option set. ! 401: .TP ! 402: .B next ! 403: (\fBn\fR like \fB+\fR or CR) Goes to the next message in sequence and types it. ! 404: With an argument list, types the next matching message. ! 405: .TP ! 406: .B preserve ! 407: (\fBpre\fR) ! 408: A synonym for ! 409: .BR hold . ! 410: .TP ! 411: .B print ! 412: (\fBp\fR) ! 413: Takes a message list and types out each message on the user's terminal. ! 414: .TP ! 415: .B quit ! 416: (\fBq\fR) Terminates the session, saving all undeleted, unsaved messages in ! 417: the user's ! 418: .I mbox ! 419: file in his login directory, preserving all messages marked with ! 420: .B hold ! 421: or ! 422: .B preserve ! 423: or never referenced ! 424: in his system mailbox, and removing all other messages from his system ! 425: mailbox. If new mail has arrived during the session, the message ! 426: ``You have new mail'' is given. If given while editing a ! 427: mailbox file with the ! 428: .B \-f ! 429: flag, then the edit file is rewritten. A return to the Shell is ! 430: effected, unless the rewrite of edit file fails, in which case the user ! 431: can escape with the ! 432: .B exit ! 433: command. ! 434: .TP ! 435: .B reply ! 436: (\fBr\fR) ! 437: Takes a message list and sends mail to the sender and all ! 438: recipients of the specified message. ! 439: The default message must not be deleted. ! 440: .TP ! 441: .B respond ! 442: A synonym for ! 443: .BR reply . ! 444: .TP ! 445: .B save ! 446: (\fBs\fR) Takes a message list and a filename and appends each message in ! 447: turn to the end of the file. The filename in quotes, followed by the line ! 448: count and character count is echoed on the user's terminal. ! 449: .TP ! 450: .B set ! 451: (\fBse\fR) With no arguments, prints all variable values. Otherwise, sets ! 452: option. Arguments are of the form ! 453: ``option=value'' ! 454: or ! 455: ``option.'' ! 456: .TP ! 457: .B shell ! 458: (\fBsh\fR) Invokes an interactive version of the shell. ! 459: .TP ! 460: .B size ! 461: Takes a message list and prints out the size in characters of each ! 462: message. ! 463: .TP ! 464: .B source ! 465: (\fBso\fR) ! 466: The ! 467: .B source ! 468: command reads ! 469: .I mail ! 470: commands from a file. ! 471: .TP ! 472: .B top ! 473: Takes a message list and prints the top few lines of each. The number of ! 474: lines printed is controlled by the variable ! 475: .B toplines ! 476: and defaults to five. ! 477: .TP ! 478: .B type ! 479: (\fBt\fR) A synonym for ! 480: .BR print . ! 481: .TP ! 482: .B unalias ! 483: Takes a list of names defined by ! 484: .B alias ! 485: commands and discards the remembered groups of users. The group names ! 486: no longer have any significance. ! 487: .TP ! 488: .B undelete ! 489: (\fBu\fR) Takes a message list and marks each one as ! 490: .I not ! 491: being deleted. ! 492: .TP ! 493: .B unset ! 494: Takes a list of option names and discards their remembered values; ! 495: the inverse of ! 496: .BR set . ! 497: .TP ! 498: .B visual ! 499: (\fBv\fR) Takes a message list and invokes the display editor on each message. ! 500: .TP ! 501: .B write ! 502: (\fBw\fR) A synonym for ! 503: .BR save . ! 504: .TP ! 505: .B xit ! 506: (\fBx\fR) A synonym for ! 507: .BR exit . ! 508: .TP ! 509: .B z ! 510: .I Mail ! 511: presents message headers in windowfuls as described under the ! 512: .B headers ! 513: command. You can move ! 514: .IR mail 's ! 515: attention forward to the next window with the ! 516: .B z ! 517: command. Also, you can move to the previous window by using ! 518: .BR z\- . ! 519: .PP ! 520: Here is a summary of the tilde escapes, ! 521: which are used when composing messages to perform ! 522: special functions. Tilde escapes are only recognized at the beginning ! 523: of lines. The name ! 524: ``tilde\ escape'' ! 525: is somewhat of a misnomer since the actual escape character can be set ! 526: by the option ! 527: .B escape. ! 528: .TP 12n ! 529: .BR ~! command ! 530: Execute the indicated shell command, then return to the message. ! 531: .TP ! 532: \fB~c\fR name ... ! 533: Add the given names to the list of carbon copy recipients. ! 534: .TP ! 535: .B ~d ! 536: Read the file ``dead.letter'' from your home directory into the message. ! 537: .TP ! 538: .B ~e ! 539: Invoke the text editor on the message collected so far. After the ! 540: editing session is finished, you may continue appending text to the ! 541: message. ! 542: .TP ! 543: \fB~f\fR messages ! 544: Read the named messages into the message being sent. ! 545: If no messages are specified, read in the current message. ! 546: .TP ! 547: .B ~h ! 548: Edit the message header fields by typing each one in turn and allowing ! 549: the user to append text to the end or modify the field by using the ! 550: current terminal erase and kill characters. ! 551: .TP ! 552: \fB~m\fR messages ! 553: Read the named messages into the message being sent, shifted right one ! 554: tab. If no messages are specified, read the current message. ! 555: .TP ! 556: .B ~p ! 557: Print out the message collected so far, prefaced by the message header ! 558: fields. ! 559: .TP ! 560: .B ~q ! 561: Abort the message being sent, copying the message to ! 562: ``dead.letter'' ! 563: in your home directory if ! 564: .B save ! 565: is set. ! 566: .TP ! 567: \fB~r\fR filename ! 568: Read the named file into the message. ! 569: .TP ! 570: \fB~s\fR string ! 571: Cause the named string to become the current subject field. ! 572: .TP ! 573: \fB~t\fR name ... ! 574: Add the given names to the direct recipient list. ! 575: .TP ! 576: .B ~v ! 577: Invoke an alternate editor (defined by the VISUAL option) on the ! 578: message collected so far. Usually, the alternate editor will be a ! 579: screen editor. After you quit the editor, you may resume appending ! 580: text to the end of your message. ! 581: .TP ! 582: \fB~w\fR filename ! 583: Write the message onto the named file. ! 584: .TP ! 585: \fB~\||\|\fRcommand ! 586: Pipe the message through the command as a filter. If the command gives ! 587: no output or terminates abnormally, retain the original text of the ! 588: message. The command ! 589: .IR fmt (1) ! 590: is often used as ! 591: .I command ! 592: to rejustify the message. ! 593: .TP ! 594: .BR ~~ string ! 595: Insert the string of text in the message prefaced by a single ~. If ! 596: you have changed the escape character, then you should double ! 597: that character in order to send it. ! 598: .PP ! 599: Options are controlled via the ! 600: .B set ! 601: and ! 602: .B unset ! 603: commands.
