-The Acme Mail program uses upas/fs to parse the mail box, and then
-presents a file-browser-like user interface to reading and sending
-messages. 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.
