_E_l_m is an interactive screen-oriented mailer program that
supersedes _m_a_i_l and _m_a_i_l_x.
There are three main ways to use the eeeellllmmmm 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 eeeellllmmmm 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:
----aaaa Arrow - force the arrow cursor (instead of the
inverse bar)
----cccc Checkalias - expand the following aliases and
return.
