DESCRIPTION
OXM is the OS-9 enhanced mailer. It is an interface between the
mail sfotware (mail, smail, rmail, lmail) to make reading and
writing mails as comfortable as possible.
OXM has the following options:
-r = restricted usage: this options disables some
commands of OXM in order to increase security of the
system. This option is quite important if OXM is available
in a public access mailbox.
-e = exit immediatly, if no new mail has arrived
-f=<file> read <file> as inbox
-l remove lock file
Description of available menues:
1) In the OXM main menu (where you can see the index of
mails you have), typing "?" or "h" lists the available
commands. These are:
?/h Help (what you see here)
^L Replot
$(:) Resync (Resort)

w/m Write a mail
r(R) Reply a mail to sender (and all receivers of a copy)
b(f) Bounce (forward) mail
s(S) Save a mail into a file (without header)
/(&) Search for pattern in titles (mails)
% Search again
d(D) Delete/undelete a mail (undelete all deleted mails)

o Options
c Change inbox
x Quick exit (INBOX and MBOX are NOT affected)
q Quit, save/delete mails
! Shell
Striking the <RETURN>-key or <SPACE>-key invokes the pager
to read the selected mail. The pager can be builtin or an
external pager defined in the "option page" described below.
"w" (Write a mail) calls the editor to write a mail. OXM
asks for the receiver, the subject and after writing the
mail for optional copies to other users
"r" Reply a mail : same as 'w', but it is possible to
include the mail that is to be replied to
"R" Reply a mail to sender and all receivers of a copy
"s" Save a mail into a file : prompts for a path / filename
to store the current mail
"d" Delete a mail : deletes current mail (becomes active
using the 'x' Exit option) striking "d" again undoes this
function
"K" Keep mail in INBOX : is used to treat this mail as
unread (only active when using the 'x' option)
"-" Next page : shows next index page (if any)
"+" Previous page : shows previous page (if any)
"i"/"k" Previous mail
","/"j" Next mail : These two commands move the 'pointer' to
the current mail and thereby select, which mail is affected
by the commands like 'R', 'r', 's'.
"x" Quit (INBOX and MBOX are NOT affected) : this quits
OXM without any changes to INBOX and MBOX as if OXM would not
have been executed
"q" Exit : this is the normal way to leave OXM. Read mail
is stored in the homedirectory (filename 'mbox')
2) Typing "o" displays the "option page" that enables the
user to change and save his individual settings. Most of the
options prompt the user for an input that is either a string or
a string representig a path.
3) Header Page: after editing a mail you have the option
to enter the "header page" which allows to change or add
lines of the mail header. This header contains
information about recipients, additional copies and other
specifications. Like in the other menues, "?" gives a help text.
The header page is similar to the option page and
accepts alphanumerical input.
OXM uses the following environment variables:
OXM.PAGER or PAGER -- pager (default: builtin)
OXM.EDITOR or EDITOR -- editor
ORGANIZATION -- name of your organisation (company)
OXM creates the directory .OXM in the home directory to
store settings and optional saved mails.
For saving mails into folders, please create a directory named
FOLDERS in your home directory.
