In addition, it provides a set of +.i ed -\c +like commands for manipulating messages and sending mail. +.i Mail +offers the user simple editing capabilities to ease the composition +of outgoing messages, as well as providing the ability to define and send +to names which address groups of users. Finally, +.i Mail +is able to send and receive messages across such networks as the +ARPANET, UUCP, and Berkeley network. +.pp +This document describes how to use the +.i Mail +program to send and receive messages. The reader is not assumed to +be familiar with other message handling systems, but should be +familiar with the \s-2UNIX\s0\** +.(f +\** \s-1UNIX\s0 is a trademark of Bell Laboratories. +.)f +shell, the text editor, and some of the common \s-2UNIX\s0 commands. +.q "The \s-2UNIX\s0 Programmer's Manual," +.q "An Introduction to Csh," +and +.q "Text Editing with Ex and Vi" +can be consulted for more information on these topics. +.pp +Here is how messages are handled: +the mail system accepts incoming +.i messages +for you from other people +and collects them in a file, called your +.i "system mailbox" . +When you login, the system notifies you if there are any messages +waiting in your system mailbox. If you are a +.i csh +user, you will be notified when new mail arrives if you inform +the shell of the location of your mailbox. On version 7 systems, +your system mailbox is located in the directory /var/mail +in a file with your login name. If your login name is +.q sam, +then you can make +.i csh +notify you of new mail by including the following line in your .cshrc +file: +.(l +set mail=/var/mail/sam +.)l +When you read your mail using +.i Mail , +it reads your system mailbox and separates that file into the +individual messages that have been sent to you. You can then +read, reply to, delete, or save these messages. +Each message is marked with its author and the date they sent it. |
