list of aliases or addresses
DESCRIPTION
Elm
is an interactive screen-oriented mailer program that supersedes
mail
and
mailx.
There are three main ways to use the elm mailer. One way
to use the mailer is to specify a list of addresses on the
command line when the mailer is invoked. This will allow sending
of a single message to the specified recipients with all the
options usually available in the elm system itself. For example,
the command
elm -s testing joe
would initiate the sending of a message to the alias joe with the subject
"testing" indicated and
would put you into an editor for you to enter the text of the message.
If the subject flag and argument were not present, you would be prompted
for a message subject.
The second way, used most commonly when transmitting files and such,
is to specify the subject of the message and the recipients using
the command line and redirect a file as standard input. For example,
the command
elm -s testing joe < test.c
would mail a copy of the
file test.c to alias joe, with the subject "testing" indicated.
The subject flag and argument are optional.
The third way, elm is invoked
with neither subject nor addresses specified on the command line and
without standard input redirected.
You can then read any messages in your incoming mailbox (or specified
folder), reply to messages in the mailbox, mail messages, etc.
Options are:
-a
Arrow - force the arrow cursor (instead of the inverse bar)
-c
Checkalias - expand the following aliases and return.
-d level
Debug - set specified debug level - Output to "$HOME/ELM:debug.info"
-f alternative-folder
Folder - read folder (specified) rather than the incoming mailbox.
-h
Help - give a list of starting options.
-i file
Include - include prepared file in edit buffer for sending.
-?
Synonymous with the "-h" option.
-k
Keypad - force knowledge of HP terminal keyboard, to allow
the use of the NEXT, PREV and HOME/SHIFT-HOME keys.
-K
Keypad + softkeys - enable use of softkeys on HP terminals only.
-M
Magic mode - treat all folders as if they were the spool folder
(lock, update Status: headers, etc.).
-m
Menu off - Use the extra lines for more message headers.
-r elmrc
Rcfile - use file specified rather than the default elmrc.
-s subj
Subject - specify subject for message to mail.
-t
tite - turn off usage of the termcap/terminfo ti/te sequence.
-v
Version - print version and configuration information.
-z
Zero - don't enter Elm if no mail is pending.

DIAGNOSTICS
Should know about keyboards/softkey terminals other than HP. (If only
termcap were that powerful!)
