.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.I Nedmail
|
|
edits a mailbox.
|
|
The default mailbox is
|
|
.BI /mail/box/ username /mbox\f1.
|
|
The
|
|
.B -f
|
|
command line option specifies an alternate mailbox.
|
|
Unrooted path names are interpreted relative to
|
|
.BI /mail/box/ username.
|
|
If the
|
|
.I mailfile
|
|
argument is omitted, the name defaults to
|
|
.BR stored .
|
|
.PP
|
|
The options are:
|
|
.TF "-f mailfile"
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI -c " dir
|
|
Create a mailbox. If
|
|
.I dir
|
|
is specified, the new mailbox is created in
|
|
.BI /mail/box/ username / dir /mbox\f1.
|
|
Otherwise, the default mailbox is created.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B -r
|
|
Reverse: show messages in first-in, first-out order; the default is last-in, first-out.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B -n
|
|
Make the message numbers the same as the file names in the mail
|
|
box directory. This implies the
|
|
.B -r
|
|
option.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI -f " mailfile"
|
|
Read messages from the specified file (see above) instead of the default mailbox.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI -s " mailfile"
|
|
Read a single message file
|
|
.IR mailfile ,
|
|
as produced by
|
|
.IR fs ,
|
|
and treat it as an entire mailbox.
|
|
This is provided for
|
|
use in plumbing rules; see
|
|
.IR faces (1).
|
|
.PD
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I Nedmail
|
|
starts by reading the mail box, printing out the number
|
|
of messages, and then prompting for commands from standard input.
|
|
Commands, as in
|
|
.IR ed (1),
|
|
are of the form
|
|
.RI `[ range ]
|
|
.I command
|
|
.RI [ arguments ]'.
|
|
The command is applied to each message in the (optional) range.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The address range can be:
|
|
.TP 1.4i
|
|
.I address
|
|
to indicate a single message header
|
|
.PD 0
|
|
.TP
|
|
.IB address , address
|
|
to indicate a range of contiguous message headers
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI g/ expression /
|
|
to indicate all messages whose headers match the regular
|
|
.IR expression .
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI g% expression %
|
|
to indicate all messages whose contents match the regular
|
|
.IR expression .
|
|
.PD
|
|
.PP
|
|
The addresses can be:
|
|
.TP 1.4i
|
|
.I number
|
|
to indicate a particular message
|
|
.PD 0
|
|
.TP
|
|
.IB address . number
|
|
to indicate a subpart of a particular message
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI / expression /
|
|
to indicate the next message whose header matches
|
|
.I expression
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI % expression %
|
|
to indicate the next message whose contents match
|
|
expression
|
|
.TP
|
|
.I "empty or .
|
|
to indicate the current message
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI - address
|
|
to indicate backwards search or movement
|
|
.PD
|
|
.PP
|
|
Since messages in MIME are hierarchical
|
|
structures, in
|
|
.I nedmail
|
|
all the subparts are individually addressable.
|
|
For example if message 2 contains 3 attachments,
|
|
the attachments are numbered 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The commands are:
|
|
.TP 1.1i
|
|
.BI a " args
|
|
Reply to all addresses in the
|
|
.BR To: ,
|
|
.BR From: ,
|
|
and
|
|
.BR Cc:
|
|
header lines.
|
|
.I Marshal
|
|
is used to format the reply and any arguments the
|
|
user specifies are added to the command line to
|
|
.I marshal
|
|
before the recipient.
|
|
The possibility of making a fool of yourself is very
|
|
high with this command.
|
|
.PD 0
|
|
.TP
|
|
.BI A " args
|
|
Like

If

|
|
If the MIME header specifies a file name, that one is used.

of the mail messages, saves away an html file added as an

attachment to a message and then deletes the message:
