NAME
nextmail - ucb "mail" compatible frontend to Mail.app
SYNOPSIS
nextmail
[
-s
subject ] [
-c
user ] [ user ... ]
DESCRIPTION
Nextmail
(if necessary) launches
Mail.app
and opens a Compose window in it. The message text is read from the
standard input. The recipients are set to be the arguments of
nextmail.
A subject line can be given with the
-s
option. Any number of users can receive
carbon copies by usage of multiple
-c
options. If a recipient is given and the
-e
option is not also specified the message is delivered immediately without
giving the user an opportunity to edit it.
If an
-NXHost
host
option is given,
nextmail
tries to contact Mail.app on the specified host instead of the local
host.
The primary purpose of
nextmail
is to allow various non-NeXTstep based programs to use
Mail.app
as their mail handler.
An interface for the
emacs
news agent
GNUS
is included in the file gnus-mailapp.el.
Trn
will use
nextmail
if invoked with these switches.
-EMAILPOSTER='nextmail -e -s "Re: %s" %t <%h'
-EFORWARDPOSTER='nextmail -e -s "%s" %t <%h'
DIAGNOSTICS

remote session.
