- _F_r_m outputs one line per message of the form:
-
- _f_r_o_m [_s_u_b_j_e_c_t]
-
- where _f_r_o_m is the name of the person the message is from,
- and _s_u_b_j_e_c_t is the subject of the message, if present. If
- the message is from you, the _f_r_o_m portion will read ``To
- user'', where `user' is the user the message was sent to.
- This happens when you receive a copy of a letter you sent.
-
- If a folder is specified, the program reads that folder
- rather than the default mailbox. If the argument is a
- username then _f_r_m looks in that user's mailbox, provided you
- have permission to read it.
-
- A folder can be specified with the same notation as when
- invoking the EEEEllllmmmm mailer (e.g., =folder).
-
- _F_r_m invoked as _n_f_r_m is identical to invoking ``frm -s new''.
-
- OOOOPPPPTTTTIIIIOOOONNNNSSSS
- The _f_r_m program has the following options:
-
- ----hhhh Print a brief help message summarizing the options.
-
- ----nnnn Number the messages using the same numbering scheme
- that, for example, _r_e_a_d_m_s_g will understand.
-
- ----QQQQ Very quiet mode. Only error messages are produced.
- This option is useful in shell scripts, where only the
- success or failure of the program is important, and
- output is not desired.
-
- ----qqqq Quiet mode. Output only a one-line summary for each
- mailbox or folder specified.
-
- ----SSSS Summarize the number of messages by message status in
- each mailbox or folder. If you want just a summary
- line, use this in conjunction with the ----qqqq option.
-
- ----ssss _s_t_a_t_u_s
- Only display headers from messages with the given
- status. `status' is one of "new", "unread", "old"

-
- (same as "unread"), or "read". The ----ssss option can be
- specified multiple times to print header information
- from, for example, only new and unread messages. It is
- sufficient to specify only the first letter of the
- status.
-
- ----tttt Tidy mode. If the _f_r_o_m field is long enough to displace
- the subject field from its natural start column, move
- the subject down onto the next line.
-
- ----vvvv Verbose mode. Print a descriptive header before
- listing the contents of each mailbox or folder.
-
- EEEEXXXXIIIITTTT SSSSTTTTAAAATTTTUUUUSSSS
- _F_r_m returns a zero status ("true") if messages matching
- `status' are present. _F_r_m returns 1 if no messages matching
- `status' are present, but there are some messages, returns 2
- if there are no messages at all, or returns 3 if an error
- occurred. If multiple mailboxes or folders are specified,
- the exit status only applies to the last one examined. This
- can be used in scripts to determine what kind of mail a user
- has.
-
- EEEEXXXXAAAAMMMMPPPPLLLLEEEESSSS
- Some example uses:
-
- $ ffffrrrrmmmm
-
- will display header information from all the messages in
- your mailbox, or ``You have no mail.'' if there are no
- messages in your incoming mailbox.
-
- $ ffffrrrrmmmm ----ssss nnnneeeewwww
-
- will display header information from all new messages in
- your mailbox, or ``You have no new mail.'' Note the
- slightly different diagnostic.
-
- $ ffffrrrrmmmm ----ssss nnnneeeewwww ----ssss uuuunnnnrrrreeeeaaaadddd gggguuuueeeesssstttt
-
- assuming you have the proper file permissions to read
- guest's mail, will print out header information from all new
- and unread messages in guest's incoming mailbox. If there
- are no messages, _f_r_m will print ``guest has no mail.''
-
- $ ffffrrrrmmmm ----qqqq ----SSSS
-
- will print only a one line summary of how many read, unread,
- and read messages are in your incoming mailbox. For
- example, ``You have 2 new messages, 3 unread messages, 23
- read messages.''
