- There are a whole bunch of ways ... suppose you want to forward message
- number 11:
-
- 11 N one-person@mush-user.edu Sep 9, (37/1663) "Forwarding mail"
- Msg 11 of 101: mail -f 11 another-person
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- That sends the message right away, without giving you a chance to add
- anything, so it looks to another-person as if the message came directly
- from one-person. If you want to add something, you can do this:
-
- Msg 11 of 101: mail -e -f 11 another-person
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- The -e means "edit", and it puts you in your editor (vi) with message 11
- already in the file.
-
- Or you can do this:
-
- Msg 11 of 101: mail another-person
- To: another-person
- Subject: Hi, I'm forwarding a message
-
- ~f 11
- ^^^^^
- The ~f command reads the message you want to forward into the one you are
- sending. You can then use ~v to go into vi to edit it. If instead you
- want to include the message with indentation at the beginning of each line,
- like I did with yours, you can use:
-
- ~i 11
-
- The ~i (for "include") command looks at the pre_indent_str, indent_str,
- and post_indent_str variables to format the included text.
-
- And of course there's a way to do this from the mush shell prompt, too:
-
- Msg 11 of 101: mail -i 11 another-person
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
- } i.e someone sends me mail and I want to send it to another person
- } without having to save the mail and exiting mush, and then typing
- } mush <username> and doing a :-r in vi (like I currently am...).
-
- You never have to exit from mush to do anything that you could do when
- using mush from your sh or csh prompt. The "SH" in "MUSH" stands for
- "shell".
