mailx(1) MPE/iX Shell and Utilities mailx(1)

˜f [refs] is similar to ˜F except that the header ﬁelds included are determined by the discard,

ignore, and retain commands.

˜h prompts you to enter the following header lines:

Subject Cc Bcc To

For some of these, mailx displays an initial value for the header. You can edit this

initial value as if you had just typed it in yourself, using backspaces and line deletes.

˜i name inserts the value of the named variable followed by a newline at this point in the mes-

sage.

˜M [refs]

inserts the text of the speciﬁed messages at this point in the message. If no refs are

speciﬁed, the current message is used. Messages inserted in this way have each line

preﬁxed with the value of the

indentprefix

variable. The message headers are

also inserted with all header ﬁelds included regardless of the discard, ignore, and

retain commands. This is only valid when you entered mailx in command mode,

then went into input mode to reply to a message.

˜m is similar to ˜M except that the header ﬁelds included are determined by the discard,

ignore, and retain commands.

˜p displays the message being composed.

˜q quits input mode as if you had interrupted the message. If you have already com-

posed part of a message, the partial message is saved in the dead.letter ﬁle; see the

description of the

DEAD

environment variable for more information.

˜r ﬁlename

reads in the contents of the speciﬁed ﬁle and adds that text at this point in the mes-

sage.

˜s text sets the Subject line to the given text.

˜t address address ...

adds the given addresses to the To: list (people who will receive the message).

˜v invokes a screen (visual) editor on the message that you have composed. The

VISUAL

variable determines the editor that is invoked.

˜w ﬁle writes the current text of your message to the speciﬁed ﬁle. The header lines for the

message are not written.

˜x quits in the same way as ˜q, except that the message is not saved in the dead.letter

ﬁle.
