- .se "Mail to Notesfiles"
-
- Some mailers (like 4.2 BSD's \fIsendmail\fP)
- allow mail to be directed to specific programs.
- The nfmail program facilitates sending mail to notesfiles.
- The subject line of the mailed letter is extracted and used as the
- title of the note.
- Nfmail extracts the author's name and system
- from the body of the letter.
- Subject lines are examined for ``Re:'' prefixes and, if they
- exist, are used in an attempt to link the letter as a reply to
- an existing base note.
-
- To send mail addressed to ``somenotes''
- to the notesfile ``somenotes'' with the 4.1 Bsd or later mail delivery
- mechanism
- add the following line to the file /usr/lib/aliases.
- The second line shows the general format for /usr/lib/aliases entries
- which feed a notesfile.
- If the Notesfile utilities are stored in a different directory, the
- path name should be changed appropriately.
