- MM
-
- mm is a powerful electronic mail system which allows you to send, read, edit
- and manage messages quickly and easily.
-
- mm features the CCMD package developed at Columbia. It has extensive internal
- help, recognition of abbreviated commands, completion of partly typed
- commands by use of the TAB key, and help on partly typed commands by use
- of the question-mark key. (Type "help ccmd" for more detail.)
-
- mm can read several mail-file formats. Its default is mbox, the same
- format used by ucb "mail". It also can read babyl, used by emacs, and
- mtxt, and it can copy messages from one file type to another.

- two other specialized "modes" in MM:

-
- The most commonly used commands at TOP-LEVEL are:
- SEND to write and send mail-- takes you to SEND MODE
- READ to read incoming mail-- takes you to READ MODE
- HEADERS to see an index of mail you have saved
- HELP and ? to get online help-- see the next paragraph
- EXIT or QUIT to leave MM
-
- The HELP command shows help screens about MM commands, topics, and variables.
- Type "help help" for information about the HELP command. Type "help ?"
- ("help", space, question-mark) for a list of all commands and topics for
- which help is available.
