to-addr... -.Nm mail -.Op Fl iInNv -.Fl f -.Op Ar name -.Nm mail -.Op Fl iInNv -.Op Fl u Ar user -.Sh INTRODUCTION -.Nm Mail -is an intelligent mail processing system, which has -a command syntax reminiscent of -.Xr \&ed 1 -with lines replaced by messages. -.Pp -.Bl -tag -width flag -.It Fl v -Verbose mode. -The details of -delivery are displayed on the user's terminal. -.It Fl i -Ignore tty interrupt signals. -This is -particularly useful when using -.Nm mail -on noisy phone lines. -.It Fl I -Forces mail to run in interactive mode even when -input isn't a terminal. -In particular, the -.Sq Ic \&~ -special -character when sending mail is only active in interactive mode. -.It Fl n -Inhibits reading -.Pa /usr/share/misc/Mail.rc -upon startup. -.It Fl N -Inhibits the initial display of message headers -when reading mail or editing a mail folder. -.It Fl s -Specify subject on command line -(only the first argument after the -.Fl s -flag is used as a subject; be careful to quote subjects -containing spaces.) -.It Fl c -Send carbon copies to -.Ar list -of users. -.It Fl b -Send blind carbon copies to -.Ar list . -List should be a comma-separated list of names. -.It Fl f -Read in the contents of your -.Ar mbox -(or the specified file) -for processing; when you -.Ar quit , -.Nm mail -writes undeleted messages back to this file. -.It Fl u -Is equivalent to: -.Pp -.Dl mail -f /var/spool/mail/user -.El -.Ss Sending mail -To send a message to one or more people, -.Nm mail -can be invoked with arguments which are the names of people to -whom the mail will be sent. -You are then expected to type in -your message, followed -by an -.Sq Li control\-D -at the beginning of a line. -The section below -.Ar Replying to or originating mail , -describes some features of -.Nm mail -available to help you compose your letter. -.Pp -.Ss Reading mail -In normal usage -.Nm mail -is given no arguments and checks your mail out of the -post office, then -prints out a one line header of each message found. -The current message is initially the first message (numbered 1) -and can be printed using the -.Ic print -command (which can be abbreviated -.Ql Ic p ) . -You can move among the messages much as you move between lines in -.Xr \&ed 1 , -with the commands -.Ql Ic \&+ -and -.Ql Ic \&\- -moving backwards and forwards, and -simple numbers. -.Pp -.Ss Disposing of mail. -After examining a message you can -.Ic delete -.Ql Ic d ) -the message or -.Ic reply -.Ql Ic r ) -to it. -Deletion causes the -.Nm mail -program to forget about the message. -This is not irreversible; the message can be -.Ic undeleted -.Ql Ic u ) -by giving its number, or the -.Nm mail -session can be aborted by giving the -.Ic exit -.Ql Ic x ) -command. -Deleted messages will, however, usually disappear never to be seen again. -.Pp -.Ss Specifying messages -Commands such as -.Ic print -and -.Ic delete -can be given a list of message numbers as arguments to apply -to a number of messages at once. -Thus -.Dq Li delete 1 2 -deletes messages 1 and 2, while -.Dq Li delete 1\-5 -deletes messages 1 through 5. -The special name -.Ql Li \&* -addresses all messages, and -.Ql Li \&$ -addresses -the last message; thus the command -.Ic top -which prints the first few lines of a message could be used in -.Dq Li top \&* -to print the first few lines of all messages. -.Pp -.Ss Replying to or originating mail. -You can use the -.Ic reply -command to -set up a response to a message, sending it back to the -person who it was from. -Text you then type in, up to an end-of-file, -defines the contents of the message. -While you are composing a message, -.Nm mail -treats lines beginning with the character -.Ql Ic \&~ -specially. -For instance, typing -.Ql Ic \&~m -(alone on a line) will place a copy -of the current message into the response right shifting it by a tabstop -(see -.Em indentprefix -variable, below). -Other escapes will set up subject fields, add and delete recipients -to the message and allow you to escape to an editor to revise the -message or to a shell to run some commands. -(These options -are given in the summary below.) -.Pp -.Ss Ending a mail processing session. -You can end a -.Nm mail -session with the -.Ic quit -.Ql Ic q ) -command. -Messages which have been examined go to your -.Ar mbox -file unless they have been deleted in which case they are discarded. -Unexamined messages go back to the post office. -(See the -.Fl f -option above). -.Pp -.Ss Personal and systemwide distribution lists. -It is also possible to create a personal distribution lists so that, -for instance, you can send mail to -.Dq Li cohorts -and have it go -to a group of people. -Such lists can be defined by placing a line like -.Pp -.Dl alias cohorts bill ozalp jkf mark kridle@ucbcory -.Pp -in the file -.Pa \&.mailrc -in your home directory. -The current list of such aliases can be displayed with the -.Ic alias -command in -.Nm mail . -System wide distribution lists can be created by editing -.Pa /etc/aliases , -see -.Xr aliases 5 -and -.Xr sendmail 8 ; -these are kept in a different syntax. -In mail you send, personal aliases will be expanded in mail sent -to others so that they will be able to -.Ic reply -to the recipients. -System wide -.Ic aliases -are not expanded when the mail is sent, -but any reply returned to the machine will have the system wide -alias expanded as all mail goes through -.Xr sendmail . -.Pp -.Ss Network mail (ARPA, UUCP, Berknet) -See -.Xr mailaddr 7 -for a description of network addresses. -.Pp -.Nm Mail -has a number of options which can be set in the -.Pa .mailrc -file to alter its behavior; thus -.Dq Li set askcc -enables the -.Ar askcc -feature. -(These options are summarized below.) -.Sh SUMMARY -(Adapted from the `Mail Reference Manual') -.Pp -Each command is typed on a line by itself, and may take arguments -following the command word. -The command need not be typed in its -entirety \- the first command which matches the typed prefix is used. -For commands which take message lists as arguments, if no message -list is given, then the next message forward which satisfies the -command's requirements is used. -If there are no messages forward of -the current message, the search proceeds backwards, and if there are no -good messages at all, -.Nm mail -types -.Dq Li No applicable messages -and -aborts the command. -.Bl -tag -width delete -.It Ic \&\- -Print out the preceding message. -If given a numeric -argument -.Ar n , -goes to the -.Ar n Ns 'th -previous message and prints it. -.It Ic \&? -Prints a brief summary of commands. -.It Ic \&! -Executes the shell -(see -.Xr sh 1 -and -.Xr csh 1 ) -command which follows. -.It Ic Print -.Pq Ic P -Like -.Ic print -but also prints out ignored header fields. -See also -.Ic print , -.Ic ignore -and -.Ic retain . -.It Ic Reply -.Pq Ic R -Reply to originator. -Does not reply to other -recipients of the original message. -.It Ic Type -.Pq Ic T -Identical to the -.Ic Print -command. -.It Ic alias -.Pq Ic a -With no arguments, prints out all currently-defined aliases. -With one -argument, prints out that alias. -With more than one argument, creates -a new alias or changes an old one. -.It Ic alternates -.Pq Ic alt -The -.Ic alternates -command is useful if you have accounts on several machines. -It can be used to inform -.Nm mail -that the listed addresses are really you. -When you -.Ic reply -to messages, -.Nm mail -will not send a copy of the message to any of the addresses -listed on the -.Ic alternates -list. -If the -.Ic alternates -command is given with no argument, the current set of alternate -names is displayed. -.It Ic chdir -.Pq Ic c -Changes the user's working directory to that specified, if given. -If -no directory is given, then changes to the user's login directory. -.It Ic copy -.Pq Ic co -The -.Ic copy -command does the same thing that -.Ic save -does, except that it does not mark the messages it -is used on for deletion when you quit. -.It Ic delete -.Pq Ic d -Takes a list of messages as argument and marks them all as deleted. -Deleted messages will not be saved in -.Ar mbox , -nor will they be available for most other commands. -.It Ic dp -(also -.Ic dt ) -Deletes the current message and prints the next message. -If there is no next message, -.Nm mail -says -.Dq Li "at EOF" . -.It Ic edit -.Pq Ic e -Takes a list of messages and points the text editor at each one in -turn. -On return from the editor, the message is read back in. -.It Ic exit -.Pf ( Ic ex -or -.Ic x ) -Effects an immediate return to the Shell without -modifying the user's system mailbox, his -.Ar mbox -file, or his edit file in -.Fl f . -.It Ic file -.Pq Ic fi -The same as -.Ic folder . -.It Ic folders -List the names of the folders in your folder directory. -.It Ic folder -.Pq Ic fo -The -.Ic folder -command switches to a new mail file or folder. -With no -arguments, it tells you which file you are currently reading. -If you give it an argument, it will write out changes (such -as deletions) you have made in the current file and read in -the new file. -Some special conventions are recognized for -the name. -# means the previous file, % means your system -mailbox, %user means user's system mailbox, & means -your -.Ar mbox -file, and -\&+\&folder means a file in your folder -directory. -.It Ic from -.Pq Ic f -Takes a list of messages and prints their message headers. -.It Ic headers -.Pq Ic h -Lists the current range of headers, which is an 18\-message group. -If -a -.Ql \&+ -argument is given, then the next 18\-message group is printed, and if -a -.Ql \&\- -argument is given, the previous 18\-message group is printed. -.It Ic help -A synonym for -.Ic \&? -.It Ic hold -.Pf ( Ic ho , -also -.Ic preserve ) -Takes a message list and marks each -message therein to be saved in the -user's system mailbox instead of in -.Ar mbox . -Does not override the -.Ic delete -command. -.It Ic ignore -Add the list of header fields named to the -.Ar ignored list . -Header fields in the ignore list are not printed -on your terminal when you print a message. -This -command is very handy for suppression of certain machine-generated -header fields. -The -.Ic Type -and -.Ic Print -commands can be used to print a message in its entirety, including -ignored fields. -If -.Ic ignore -is executed with no arguments, it lists the current set of -ignored fields. -.It Ic mail -.Pq Ic m -Takes as argument login names and distribution group names and sends -mail to those people. -.It Ic mbox -Indicate that a list of messages be sent to -.Ic mbox -in your home directory when you quit. -This is the default -action for messages if you do -.Em not -have the -.Ic hold -option set. -.It Ic next -.Pq Ic n -like -.Ic \&+ -or -.Tn CR ) -Goes to the next message in sequence and types it. -With an argument list, types the next matching message. -.It Ic preserve -.Pq Ic pre -A synonym for -.Ic hold . -.It Ic print -.Pq Ic p -Takes a message list and types out each message on the user's terminal. -.It Ic quit -.Pq Ic q -Terminates the session, saving all undeleted, unsaved messages in -the user's -.Ar mbox -file in his login directory, preserving all messages marked with -.Ic hold -or -.Ic preserve -or never referenced -in his system mailbox, and removing all other messages from his system -mailbox. -If new mail has arrived during the session, the message -.Dq Li "You have new mail" -is given. -If given while editing a -mailbox file with the -.Fl f -flag, then the edit file is rewritten. -A return to the Shell is -effected, unless the rewrite of edit file fails, in which case the user -can escape with the -.Ic exit -command. -.It Ic reply -.Pq Ic r -Takes a message list and sends mail to the sender and all -recipients of the specified message. -The default message must not be deleted. -.It Ic respond -A synonym for -.Ic reply . -.It Ic retain -Add the list of header fields named to the -.Ar retained list -Only the header fields in the retain list -are shown on your terminal when you print a message. -All other header fields are suppressed. -The -.Ic Type -and -.Ic Print -commands can be used to print a message in its entirety. -If -.Ic retain -is executed with no arguments, it lists the current set of -retained fields. -.It Ic save -.Pq Ic s -Takes a message list and a filename and appends each message in -turn to the end of the file. -The filename in quotes, followed by the line -count and character count is echoed on the user's terminal. -.It Ic set -.Pq Ic se -With no arguments, prints all variable values. -Otherwise, sets -option. -Arguments are of the form -.Ar option=value -(no space before or after =) or -.Ar option . -Quotation marks may be placed around any part of the assignment statement to -quote blanks or tabs, i.e. -.Dq Li "set indentprefix=\*q->\*q" -.It Ic saveignore -.Ic Saveignore -is to -.Ic save -what -.Ic ignore -is to -.Ic print -and -.Ic type . -Header fields thus marked are filtered out when -saving a message by -.Ic save -or when automatically saving to -.Ar mbox . -.It Ic saveretain -.Ic Saveretain -is to -.Ic save -what -.Ic retain -is to -.Ic print -and -.Ic type . -Header fields thus marked are the only ones saved -with a message when saving by -.Ic save -or when automatically saving to -.Ar mbox . -.Ic Saveretain -overrides -.Ic saveignore . -.It Ic shell -.Pq Ic sh -Invokes an interactive version of the shell. -.It Ic size -Takes a message list and prints out the size in characters of each -message. -.It Ic source -The -.Ic source -command reads -commands from a file. -.It Ic top -Takes a message list and prints the top few lines of each. -The number of -lines printed is controlled by the variable -.Ic toplines -and defaults to five. -.It Ic type -.Pq Ic t -A synonym for -.Ic print . -.It Ic unalias -Takes a list of names defined by -.Ic alias -commands and discards the remembered

in windowfuls as described under the -.Ic headers -command. -You can move -.Nm mail Ns 's -attention forward to the next window with the -.Ic \&z -command. -Also, you can move to the previous window by using -.Ic \&z\&\- . -.El -.Ss Tilde/Escapes -.Pp -Here is a summary of the tilde escapes, -which are used when composing messages to perform -special functions. -Tilde escapes are only recognized at the beginning -of lines. -The name -.Dq Em tilde\ escape -is somewhat of a misnomer since the actual escape character can be set -by the option -.Ic escape . -.Bl -tag -width Ds -.It Ic \&~! Ns Ar command -Execute the indicated shell command, then return to the message. -.It Ic \&~b Ns Ar name ... -Add the given names to the list of carbon copy recipients but do not make -the names visible in the Cc: line ("blind" carbon copy). -.It Ic \&~c Ns Ar name ... -Add the given names to the list of carbon copy recipients. -.It Ic \&~d -Read the file -.Dq Pa dead.letter -from your home directory into the message. -.It Ic \&~e -Invoke the text editor on the message collected so far. -After the -editing session is finished, you may continue appending text to the -message. -.It Ic \&~f Ns Ar messages -Read the named messages into the message being sent. -If no messages are specified, read in the current message. -Message headers currently being ignored (by the -.Ic ignore -or -.Ic retain -command) are not included. -.It Ic \&~F Ns Ar messages -Identical to -.Ic \&~f , -except all message headers are included. -.It Ic \&~h -Edit the message header fields by typing each one in turn and allowing -the user to append text to the end or modify the field by using the -current terminal erase and kill characters. -.It Ic \&~m Ns Ar messages -Read the named messages into the message being sent, indented by a -tab or by the value of -.Ar indentprefix . -If no messages are specified, -read the current message. -Message headers currently being ignored (by the -.Ic ignore -or -.Ic retain -command) are not included. -.It Ic \&~M Ns Ar messages -Identical to -.Ic \&~m , -except all message headers are included. -.It Ic \&~p -Print out the message collected so far, prefaced by the message header -fields. -.It Ic \&~q -Abort the message being sent, copying the message to -.Dq Pa dead.letter -in your home directory if -.Ic save -is set. -.It Ic \&~r Ns Ar filename -Read the named file into the message. -.It Ic \&~s Ns Ar string -Cause the named string to become the current subject field. -.It Ic \&~\&t Ns Ar name ... -Add the given names to the direct recipient list. -.It Ic \&~\&v -Invoke an alternate editor (defined by the -.Ev VISUAL -option) on the -message collected so far. -Usually, the alternate editor will be a -screen editor. -After you quit the editor, you may resume appending -text to the end of your message. -.It Ic \&~w Ns Ar filename -Write the message onto the named file. -.It Ic \&~\&| Ns Ar command -Pipe the message through the command as a filter. -If the command gives -no output or terminates abnormally, retain the original text of the -message. -The command -.Xr fmt 1 -is often used as -.Ic command -to rejustify the message. -.It Ic \&~: Ns Ar mail-command -Execute the given mail command. -Not all commands, however, are allowed. -.It Ic \&~~ Ns Ar string -Insert the string of text in the message prefaced by a single ~. -If -you have changed the escape character, then you should double -that character in order to send it. -.El -.Ss Mail Options -Options are controlled via -.Ic set -and -.Ic unset -commands. -Options may be either binary, in which case it is only -significant to see whether they are set or not; or string, in which -case the actual value is of interest. -The binary options include the following: -.Bl -tag -width append -.It Ar append -Causes messages saved in -.Ar mbox -to be appended to the end rather than prepended. -This should always be set (perhaps in -.Pa /usr/share/misc/Mail.rc ) . -.It Ar ask -Causes -.Nm mail -to prompt you for the subject of each message you send. -If -you respond with simply a newline, no subject field will be sent. -.It Ar askcc -Causes you to be prompted for additional carbon copy recipients at the -end of each message. -Responding with a newline indicates your -satisfaction with the current list. -.It Ar autoprint -Causes the -.Ic delete -command to behave like -.Ic dp -\- thus, after deleting a message, the next one will be typed -automatically. -.It Ar debug -Setting the binary option -.Ar debug -is the same as specifying -.Fl d -on the command line and causes -.Nm mail -to output all sorts of information useful for debugging -.Nm mail . -.It Ar dot -The binary option -.Ar dot -causes -.Nm mail -to interpret a period alone on a line as the terminator -of a message you are sending. -.It Ar hold -This option is used to hold messages in the system mailbox -by default. -.It Ar ignore -Causes interrupt signals from your terminal to be ignored and echoed as -@'s. -.It Ar ignoreeof -An option related to -.Ar dot -is -.Ar ignoreeof -which makes -.Nm mail -refuse to accept a control-d as the end of a message. -.Ar Ignoreeof -also applies to -.Nm mail -command mode. -.It Ar metoo -Usually, when a group is expanded that contains the sender, the sender -is removed from the expansion. -Setting this option causes the sender -to be included in the group. -.It Ar noheader -Setting the option -.Ar noheader -is the same as giving the -.Fl N -flag on the command line. -.It Ar nosave -Normally, when you abort a message with two -.Tn RUBOUT -(erase or delete) -.Nm mail -copies the partial letter to the file -.Dq Pa dead.letter -in your home directory. -Setting the binary option -.Ar nosave -prevents this. -.It Ar Replyall -Reverses the sense of -.Ic reply -and -.Ic Reply -commands. -.It Ar quiet -Suppresses the printing of the version when first invoked. -.It Ar searchheaders -If this option is set, then a message-list specifier in the form ``/x:y'' -will expand to all messages containing the substring ``y'' in the header -field ``x''. The string search is case insensitive. -.It Ar verbose -Setting the option -.Ar verbose -is the same as using the -.Fl v -flag on the command line. -When mail runs in verbose mode, -the actual delivery of messages is displayed on the user's -terminal. -.El -.Ss Option String Values -.Bl -tag -width Va -.It Ev EDITOR -Pathname of the text editor to use in the -.Ic edit -command and -.Ic \&~e -escape. -If not defined, then a default editor is used. -.It Ev LISTER -Pathname of the directory lister to use in the -.Ic folders -command. -Default is -.Pa /bin/ls . -.It Ev PAGER -Pathname of the program to use in the -.Ic more -command or when -.Ic crt -variable is set. -The default paginator -.Xr more 1 -is used if this option is not defined. -.It Ev SHELL -Pathname of the shell to use in the -.Ic \&! -command and the -.Ic \&~! -escape. -A default shell is used if this option is -not defined. -.It Ev VISUAL -Pathname of the text editor to use in the -.Ic visual -command and -.Ic \&~v -escape. -.It Va crt -The valued option -.Va crt -is used as a threshold to determine how long a message must -be before -.Ev PAGER -is used to read it. -If -.Va crt -is set without a value, -then the height of the terminal screen stored in the system -is used to compute the threshold (see -.Xr stty 1 ) . -.It Ar escape -If defined, the first character of this option gives the character to -use in the place of ~ to denote escapes. -.It Ar folder -The name of the directory to use for storing folders of -messages. -If this name begins with a `/', -.Nm mail -considers it to be an absolute pathname; otherwise, the -folder directory is found relative to your home directory. -.It Ev MBOX -The name of the -.Ar mbox -file. -It can be the name of a folder. -The default is -.Dq Li mbox -in the user's home directory. -.It Ar record -If defined, gives the pathname of the file used to record all outgoing -mail. -If not defined, then outgoing mail is not so saved. -.It Ar indentprefix -String used by the ``~m'' tilde escape for indenting messages, in place of -the normal tab character (^I). -Be sure to quote the value if it contains -spaces or tabs. -.It Ar toplines -If defined, gives the number of lines of a message to be printed out -with the -.Ic top -command; normally, the first five lines are printed. -.El -.Sh ENVIRONMENT -.Nm Mail -utilizes the -.Ev HOME -and -.Ev USER -environment variables. -.Sh FILES -.Bl -tag -width /usr/share/misc/Mail.help* -compact -.It Pa /var/spool/mail/* -Post office. -.It ~/mbox -User's old mail. -.It ~/.mailrc -File giving initial mail commands. -.It Pa /tmp/R* -Temporary files. -.It Pa /usr/share/misc/Mail.help* -Help files. -.It Pa /usr/share/misc/Mail.rc -System initialization file. -.El -.Sh SEE ALSO -.Xr fmt 1 , -.Xr newaliases 1 , -.Xr vacation 1 , -.Xr aliases 5 , -.Xr mailaddr 7 , -.Xr sendmail 8 -and -.Rs -.%T "The Mail Reference Manual" . -.Re -.Sh HISTORY -A -.Nm mail -command -appeared in -.At v6 . -This man page is derived from -.%T "The Mail Reference Manual" -originally written by Kurt Shoens. -.Sh BUGS -There are some flags that are not documented here. -Most are -not useful to the general user. -.Pp -Usually, -.Nm mail -is just a link to -.Nm Mail , -which can be confusing. |
