- DESCRIPTION
- Rnmail is a friendly interface for mailing replies to news
- articles. It will ask several questions, then allow you to
- enter your letter, and then mail it off. If you type h and
- a carriage return at any point, Rnmail will tell you what it
- wants to know.
-
- The -h form is used when invoked from rn. If your editor
- can edit multiple files, and you want the article to which
- you are replying to show up as an alternate file, define the
- environment variable MAILPOSTER as "Rnmail -h %h %A". You
- can also modify the the MAILHEADER environment variable to
- change the header file that rn passes to Rnmail.
