- _E_l_m is an interactive screen-oriented mailer program that
- supersedes _m_a_i_l and _m_a_i_l_x.
-
- There are three main ways to use the eeeellllmmmm mailer. One way to
- use the mailer is to specify a list of addresses on the
- command line when the mailer is invoked. This will allow
- sending of a single message to the specified recipients with
- all the options usually available in the eeeellllmmmm system itself.
- For example, the command
-
- elm -s testing joe
-
- would initiate the sending of a message to the alias joe
- with the subject "testing" indicated and would put you into
- an editor for you to enter the text of the message. If the
- subject flag and argument were not present, you would be
- prompted for a message subject.
-
- The second way, used most commonly when transmitting files
- and such, is to specify the subject of the message and the
- recipients using the command line and redirect a file as
- standard input. For example, the command
-
- elm -s testing joe < test.c
-
- would mail a copy of the file test.c to alias joe, with the
- subject "testing" indicated. The subject flag and argument
- are optional.
-
- The third way, elm is invoked with neither subject nor
- addresses specified on the command line and without standard
- input redirected. You can then read any messages in your
- incoming mailbox (or specified folder), reply to messages in
- the mailbox, mail messages, etc.
-
- Options are:
-
- ----aaaa Arrow - force the arrow cursor (instead of the
- inverse bar)
-
- ----cccc Checkalias - expand the following aliases and
- return.
