HP-UX COMPATIBILITY

Level:
HP-UX/CONTRIBUTED
Origin:
Hewlett-Packard
 

DESCRIPTION

From outputs a line per message in the current users mailbox of the form;

<from> [subject]

If a filename is specified, the program reads that file rather than the default file. If the argument is a username then look for that users mailbox.

Furthermore, if the -n flag is specified, the headers will be numbered using the same numbering scheme that, for example, readmsg will understand.

Filename can be specified with the same notation as when invoking the Elm mailer.

BUGS

Occasionally it gets confused about whether a message has a subject or not. This, unfortunately, is due to the vast number of possible headers in the messages...
