- Our MIPS (MIPS RC3350 - Unix System V Release 3 / RISC/os 4.52A) supports
- "forward" via a command line option:
-
- -Fpersons
- entered into an empty mailbox, causes all incoming mail
- to be forwarded to persons.
-
- and
-
- To forward all of one's mail to systema!user enter:
-
- mail -Fsystema!user
-
- The FMP (Fine Man Page :^) doesn't mention .forward at all. The one for
- our SUN does ...
-
- Hope it helps (tm).
