- You need to set $TIN_MAIL to the program you use to send mail, and an
- entry in tinrc showing the arguments to be passed to that program. I
- use Sendmail, so I have
-
- setenv TIN_MAIL AmiTCP:bin/sendmail
-
- and in tinrc:
-
- # Format of mailer line including parameters
- # %M Mailer %S Subject %T To %F Filename %U User (AmigaDOS)
- default_mailer_format=%M <%F -f %U
