RNMAIL(1) USER COMMANDS RNMAIL(1)
NAME
Rnmail - a program for replying via mail
SYNOPSIS
Rnmail destination_list
or
Rnmail -h headerfile [oldarticle]
or
Rnmail
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.

directory where 'dot' files may be stored. This is
