The Mail window presents each numbered message like the -contents of a directory presented one per line. If a message has a -Subject: line, that is shown indented on the following line. -Multipart MIME-encoded messages are presented in the obvious -hierarchical format. - -Mail uses upas/fs to access the mail box. By default it reads "mbox", -the standard user mail box. If Mail is given an argument, it is -passed to upas/fs as the name of the mail box (or upas/fs directory) -to open. - -Although Mail works if the plumber is not running, it's designed to be -run with plumbing enabled and many of its features work best if it is. - -The mailbox window has a few commands: Put writes back the mailbox; -Mail creates a new window in which to compose a message; and Delmesg -deletes messages by number. The number may be given as argument or -indicated by selecting the header line in the mailbox window. -(Delmesg does not expand null selections, in the interest of safety.) - -Clicking the right button on a message number opens it; clicking on -any of the subparts of a message opens that (and also opens the -message itself). Each message window has a few commands in the tag -with obvious names: Reply, Delmsg, etc. "Reply" replies to the single -sender of the message, "Reply all" or "Replyall" replies to everyone -in the From:, To:, and CC: lines. - -Message parts with recognized MIME types such as image/jpeg are sent -to the plumber for further dispatch. Acme Mail also listens to -messages on the seemail and showmail plumbing ports, to report the -arrival of new messages (highlighting the entry; right-click on the -entry to open the message) and open them if you right-click on the -face in the faces window. - -When composing a mail message or replying to a message, the first line -of the text is a list of recipients of the message. To:, and CC:, and BCC: -lines are interpreted in the usual way. Two other header lines are -special to Acme Mail: - Include: file places a copy of file in the message as an - inline MIME attachment. - Attach: file places a copy of file in the message as a regular - MIME attachment. - -Acme Mail uses these conventions when replying to messages, -constructing headers for the default behavior. You may edit these to -change behavior. Most important, when replying to a message Mail will -always Include: the original message; delete that line if you don't -want to include it. - -If the mailbox - /mail/box/$user/outgoing -exists, Acme Mail will save your a copy of your outgoing messages -there. Attachments are described in the copy but not included. - -The -m mntpoint flag specifies a different mount point for /upas/fs. |
