mailx(1) MPE/iX Shell and Utilities mailx(1)
For example,
print name
displays all messages that originated from the same login name, regardless of the rest
of the network address. The default is noallnet , where different addresses are
assumed to be different users, even if the login name components are the same.
append
appends messages to the end of the mbox file upon termination. The default is
noappend ; messages are placed at the beginning of the mbox file instead of the end.
ask prompts you for a Subject: line when composing a message (if you have not
already specified one with the –s option). This option is turned on by default; to turn
it off, set noask .
askbcc
prompts you for a Bcc: list when composing a message. The default is noaskbcc ;
you are not prompted.
askcc
prompts you for a Cc: list when composing a message. The default is noaskcc ;
you are not prompted.
asksub
is the same as ask . noasksub is the same as
noask .
autoprint
displays the next message automatically when you delete a message, and displays
messages as you undelete them. The default is noautoprint ; you are not shown
messages that you delete or undelete.
bang
records shell commands executed inside the mailx session (for example, through
the ˜! input mode command). Then, if you issue a shell command and the shell com-
mand contains a ! character, mailx replaces that character with the command line
for the previous shell command. The default is nobang , in which case a ! in a shell
command line is not treated specially.
cmd
contains a command, possibly with options. This specifies a default command line to
be used for the command mode pipe command. For example,
set cmd="more"
pipes messages through more when the pipe command is invoked.
