MAIL USER COMMANDS MAIL(1)
NAME
mail - new mail program
SYNOPSIS
mail [receiver [subject [carbon-copies]]]
DESCRIPTION
Mail is an interactive program for composing, sending and
receiving electronic messages. Mail uses standard system
editor to write and edit messages. Messages are be held in
system mailbox for future use.
Incoming mail is stored in the system mailbox for each user.
This file is named after the user (depending of the
configuration, usually AXsh:usr/spool/mail/$USER). Actual
mail file is always kept there but mail uses user's home
directory to save temp files while sending new mail.
Un*X-style environment system in not implemented yet.
Un*X-style ~command keystrokes are not implemented because
of the flexible editor used with mail.
The following command line keywords are implemented:
d Delete current message. There's no way to get it back!
h Prints active message headers. This is done automatically
when mail is started without any further options and
there appears to be mail in user's system mailbox.
m user Send mail to a specific user.
n Next message. Same as [RETURN].
q Quit mail. All the messages are saved in the user's
mailbox (~/.mbox).
r Send reply to current message (reply to sender).
R Send reply. Your message is also delivered to user(s)
specified in Cc: line (reply to all).
s file Saves current message to home directory (~/file).
x Quit. All the messages will be held in system mailbox
as they are when this command is given.
