-
- README FILE FOR DMAIL v1.12 distribution June 1989
-
- Read Makefile for compiling and installation procedures.
-
- Dmail compiles fine on UNIX BSD 4.2/4.3. and the Amiga. A man page exists
- and every command as a full help page online from Dmail.

- AN EXAMPLE OF A .DMAILRC FILE: (happens to be mine)
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- alias normal "setlist -s 18 From 38 Subject 10 To 0 Cc 0 Date"
- alias from "setlist -s 66 From; list; normal"
- alias me "select To dillon , Cc dillon"
- alias bugs "select To root staff manag , Cc staff manag root"
- alias trek "select To trek , Cc trek"
- alias notme "select -s To !dillon; resel -s Cc !dillon; resel From !dillon"
- alias hack "select To hacker , Cc hacker"
- alias page set page more
- alias nopage unset page
- alias k tag
- alias kn "tag ; next"
- alias spool "g /usr/spool/mail/dillon ~/Dmail/mbox"
- alias keep "g ~/Dmail/keep"
- alias mbox "g ~/Dmail/mbox"
- alias q "select -s all; write ~/Dmail/keep -s tag; delete -s tag; quit"
- alias g "select -s all; write ~/Dmail/keep -s tag; delete -s tag; qswi"
- set amiga "decwrl!pyramid!amiga!support"
- set header ~/.mailheader
- set ask
- normal
- cd ~/Dmail
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- In the above example, I have created a Dmail directory to hold all my
- folders. Each folder will be a file containing multiple messages, fully
- compatible with /usr/spool/ and mbox.
-
- my dmail alias is this:
- alias dmail '\dmail -O -l ~/Dmail/.dmailrc -o ~/Dmail/mbox -F Cc -F Date'
-
- NOTE: you don't need to alias dmail to anything. without any arguments,
- it acts like /bin/Mail getting your mail from your spool, and placing
- read mail on quit to mbox in your home directory. I use -O so dmail
- gives me a command prompt even if there is no mail, and the -F options
- tell dmail to load those subjects into memory automatically (because I'm
- going to select on them immediately anyway). If a field which you select
- on is not in memory, dmail must go to the mail file to find the field.
- This is transparent.
-
- GOOD LUCK!
- ---------------------------------------------- Another example of an .dmailrc
- if !comlinemail
- alias ls "! ls"
- alias normal "setlist -s 18 From 38 Subject 10 To 0 Cc 0 Date"
- alias news "setlist -s 18 Newsgroup 30 Subject 10 Date 6 Lines 0 Keywords"
- alias hack "select To hacker , Cc hacker"
- alias page set page more
- alias nopage unset page
- alias spool "g /usr/spool/mail/dillon ~/Dmail/mbox"
- alias keep "g ~/Dmail/keep"
- alias mbox "g ~/Dmail/mbox"
- alias amiga "select Resent-From: info , To: info , Cc: info
- alias g "qswitch"
- alias kill "%var sel Sub $var;d all;sel all"
- set amiga "decwrl!pyramid!amiga!support"
- set header ~/.mailheader
- normal
- cd ~/Dmail
- set archive ~/Dmail/arch
- endif
