- That's strange. I thought that in mush, you could simple do
-
- mush(msg 2)> mail -f foo@bar
- ^^^^^^^^^^
- (prompt)
-
- Or if you want to mail a different message than the current one, you
- write
-
- mush(msg 2)> mail -f 1, 3-15, 18 foo@bar
-
- which should send mail message 1, 3 through 15 (inclusive) and 18 to foo@bar
- (commas optional).
