Not of general interest. +.ip "\-f file\ \ " +Show the messages in +.i file +instead of your system mailbox. If +.i file +is omitted, +.i Mail +reads +.i mbox +in your home directory. +.ip \-i +Ignore tty interrupt signals. Useful on noisy phone lines, which +generate spurious RUBOUT or DELETE characters. It's usually +more effective to change your interrupt character to control\-c, +for which see the +.i stty +shell command. +.ip \-n +Inhibit reading of /etc/mail.rc. Not generally useful, since +/etc/mail.rc is usually empty. +.ip "\-s string" +Used for sending mail. +.i String +is used as the subject of the message being composed. If +.i string +contains blanks, you must surround it with quote marks. +.ip "\-u name" +Read +.i names's +mail instead of your own. Unwitting others often neglect to protect +their mailboxes, but discretion is advised. Essentially, +.b "\-u user" +is a shorthand way of doing +.b "\-f /var/mail/user". +.ip "\-v" +Use the +.b \-v +flag when invoking sendmail. This feature may also be enabled +by setting the the option "verbose". +.pp +The following command line flags are also recognized, but are +intended for use by programs invoking +.i Mail +and not for people. +.ip "\-T file" +Arrange to print on +.i file +the contents of the +.i article-id +fields of all messages that were either read or deleted. +.b \-T +is for the +.i readnews +program and should NOT be used for reading your mail. +.ip "\-h number" +Pass on hop count information. +.i Mail +will take the number, increment it, and pass it with +.b \-h +to the mail delivery system. +.b \-h +only has effect when sending mail and is used for network mail +forwarding. +.ip "\-r name" +Used for network mail forwarding: interpret +.i name +as the sender of the message. The +.i name +and +.b \-r +are simply sent along to the mail delivery system. Also, +.i Mail +will wait for the message to be sent and return the exit status. +Also restricts formatting of message. +.pp +Note that +.b \-h +and +.b \-r , +which are for network mail forwarding, are not used in practice +since mail forwarding is now handled separately. They may +disappear soon. |
