NAME

     elm - an interactive mail system



SYNOPSIS
     elm [ -achkKMmrtwz ] [ -f alternate-folder  ]  [  -d  debug-
     level ]
     elm [ -s subject ] list of aliases or addresses



DESCRIPTION
     Elm is an interactive screen-oriented  mailer  program  that
     supersedes mail and mailx.

     There are three main ways to use the elm mailer.  One way to
     use the mailer is to specify a list of addresses on the com-
     mand line when the mailer is invoked.  This will allow send-
     ing of a single message to the specified recipients with all
     the options usually available in the elm system itself.  For
     example, the command

          elm -s testing joe

     would initiate the sending of a message  to  the  alias  joe
     with  the subject "testing" indicated and would put you into
     an editor for you to enter the text of the message.  If  the
     subject  flag  and  argument  were not present, you would be
     prompted for a message subject.

     The second way, used most commonly when  transmitting  files
     and  such,  is to specify the subject of the message and the
     recipients using the command line and  redirect  a  file  as
     standard input.  For example, the command

          elm -s testing joe < test.c

     would mail a copy of the file test.c to alias joe, with  the
     subject  "testing" indicated.  The subject flag and argument
     are optional.

     The third way, elm  is  invoked  with  neither  subject  nor
     addresses specified on the command line and without standard
     input redirected.  You can then read any  messages  in  your
     incoming mailbox (or specified folder), reply to messages in
     the mailbox, mail messages, etc.

     Options are:

       -a      Arrow - force the arrow  cursor  (instead  of  the
               inverse bar)

       -c      Checkalias -  expand  the  following  aliases  and
               return.

       -d level
               Debug - set specified  debug  level  -  Output  to
               "$HOME/ELM:debug.info"

       -f alternative-folder
               Folder - read folder (specified) rather  than  the
               incoming mailbox.

       -h      Help - give a list of starting options.

       -i file Include - include prepared file in edit buffer for
               sending.

       -?      Synonymous with the "-h" option.

       -k      Keypad - force knowledge of HP terminal  keyboard,
               to   allow   the   use   of  the  NEXT,  PREV  and
               HOME/SHIFT-HOME keys.

       -K      Keypad + softkeys - enable use of softkeys  on  HP
               terminals only.

       -M      Magic mode - treat all folders as if they were the
               spool folder (lock, update Status: headers, etc.).

       -m      Menu off - Use the extra lines  for  more  message
               headers.

       -s subj Subject - specify subject for message to mail.

       -t      tite - turn  off  usage  of  the  termcap/terminfo
               ti/te sequence.

       -v      Version - print version and configuration informa-
               tion.

       -z      Zero - don't enter Elm if no mail is pending.
