XXWhile various parts of the Unix system have been
XXupdated into the `CRT' age (rather than the `teletype')
XXthe electronic mail systems haven't. This document
XXpresents the \fIElm\fR mail system which remedies
XXthis problem. This mailer offers all the features of
XX\fI/bin/mail\fR, \fImailx\fR, \fIMail\fR, \fIuumail\fR and \fINmail\fR in an
XXunified and intuitive fashion.

XX.H 1 "Introduction"
XX.P 1
XXThe Unix\v'-.3'\s5TM\s10\v'.3' operating system was originally
XXwritten on a small PDP machine
XXto work with teletypewriters. Consequently, all the original software for
XXthe operating system was written with a `tty' in mind - they were all
XXline oriented, rather than screen oriented.
XX.P
XXGradually this began to change, and, with the addition of the Berkeley
XX.I vi
XXvisual shell to the
XX.I ed
XXline editor, the trend seemed to be brought to the attention of
XXUnix systems designers.
XX.FS " "
XXHistorical note: shrewd users will recognize this as the old Unix
XX.lg 0
XX\fIMsg\fR
XX.lg 1
XXmailer. The name was changed to avoid a conflict with an old DEC-20
XXmailer, and because the new name stands for \fBEL\fRectronic \fBM\fRail,
XXwhich I think works out better!
XX.FE
XX.P
XXApparently, however, this wasn't enough of a significant event, as
XX.I vi
XXand
XX.I notes
XXare the only screen oriented software available
XX(other than games, which are a taboo subject with managers
XXand the like!). Consequently, after becoming more and more
XXdisenchanted
XXwith the existing electronic mail facilities (\fImail\fR
XXand \fImailx\fR, both of which are essentially line editors) I decided
XXto write my own!
XX.P
XXThis document discusses the
XX.B Elm
XXmailer, and includes a set of example screens and a discussion
XXof configuration (for systems administrators). It is broken
XXinto three main parts, the \fIElm Users Guide\fR, which you're holding,
XXthe \fIElm Reference Guide\fR, and the \fIElm Alias Users Guide\fR.
XX.P
XXThis guide contains;
XXthis introduction, a session with the mailer, a
XXdiscussion of non-interactive uses of \fBElm\fR,
XXa brief foray into the \fBElm\fR utilities,
XXand finally, credits and references.
XX.P
XXThe \fIElm Reference Guide\fR contains;
XXa discussion of the \fI.elmrc\fR file,
XXstarting options of
XX.B Elm,
XXoutgoing mail processing,
XXresponses of various commands,
XXthe mail archive file,
XXthe Notes system,
XXthe Alias system,
XXsystem aliases etc,
XXmore on the utilities,
XXand a section for expert users.
XX.P
XXThe \fIElm Alias Users Guide\fR contains;
XXa further discussion of \fIuser aliases\fR
XXand \fIgroup aliases\fR, System aliases,
XXhow to edit and install new aliases,
XXthe hostname routing database,
XXthe domain routing database,
XXand so on.
XX.P
XXAny comments or problems with any of the documention or the program
XXitself are welcome: all installed systems should have an alias
XXthat will ensure that I receive any mail sent to `elm'.

XXThere are a number of things to notice about this screen;
XX.BL 4
XX.LI
XXFirst off, it's quite possible that on your screen the current message will
XXbe indicated by an inverse bar rather than an arrow.
XXDon't worry about it - it's just harder to have an inverse
XXbar in a document than an arrow!
XX.LI
XXThe top line always displays the current mail file,
XXthe number of messages in the file, and the current
XX.B Elm
XXversion number.
XX.LI
XXThe arrow (``->'') (or bar) always points to the current message.
XX.LI
XXThe first few characters on each line can indicate the following:
XX.VL 6 5
XX.LI "U"
XX- an \fIU\fRrgent message
XX.LI "N"
XX- a \fIN\fRew message since you last read mail
XX.LI "E"
XX- an \fIE\fRxpired message (not implemented)
XX.LI "A"
XX- an \fIA\fRction is associated with the message
XX.LI "D"
XX- the message is marked for \fID\fReletion
XX.LI "+"
XX- the message is \fITagged\fR.
XX.LE
XX.LI
XXContinuing from left to right, the next field is the message
XXnumber. For the most part you can ignore these unless you want
XXto quickly move to a specific message (as we'll see later)
XX.LI
XXThe date associated with each message is the date the person
XX.I sent
XXthe message.
XX.LI
XXThe next field displayed indicates who the message is from.
XX\fBElm\fR will try to display the \fIname\fR of the person who
XXsent the message, rather than the their return address/login.
XXSome systems don't generate the correct headers, though, hence
XXmessages like number 11, where it's
XXthe return address of the sender...
XX.LI
XXThe number in parentheses is the number of lines in the message.
XX.LI
XXThe final field is the (optional) subject of the message. Note
XXthat message 3 has no subject.
XX.LI
XXA maximum of twelve messages are displayed at one time*.
XX.FS *
XXOn terminals with greater than 25 lines, more messages will be
XXdisplayed automatically.
XX.FE
XXFurther into
XXthe document we'll learn how to change 'pages' in the mailbox.
XX.LI
XXThe three line mini-menu will always
XXindicate what commands are available at
XXthe current moment.
XX.LI
XXFinally, the '@' character indicates where the cursor would be, awaiting
XXyour input.
XX.LE
XX.P 0
XXThe typical action at this point is to use the
XX.I <return>
XXkey to read the current message. This particular option actually isn't
XXnoted in the mini-menu, but choosing the '?=help' option will
XXinform you of a number of choices other than those in the
XXbasic menu!
XX.P 0
XXPressing this key will clear the screen and display the
XXmessage using the local pager
XX(see \fIpager\fR in the \fI.elmrc\fR file).
XX.P 0
XXWhile reading is perhaps the most fundamental function that the
XX.B Elm
XXprogram performs, there are a number of other options available,
XXnamely;

XXDelete all messsages matching specified pattern
XX.LI "e"
XXEdit mailbox file, resyncing upon reentry.
XX.LI "f"
XXForward message to specified user**
XX.FS **
XXThe difference between \fIForward\fR and \fIBounce\fR is rather
XXsubtle -- a forwarded message is ``from'' you, with the
XXoriginal message included, whereas a bounced message
XXis still from the original sender.

XXHey Dave! I've got some old AC/DC and KISS albums, and as I know

XX Humourously,
XX Jack
XXMore: @
XX.eb
XX.DE
XX.P 0
XXNeedless to say, we can't let this message go by without replying!
XXSo let's press <\fIreturn\fR> to return to the main menu,
XXthen use the
XX.I "reply"
XXcommand to respond.
XX.P 0
XXAfter pressing the `\fIr\fR' key, the program asks if a copy of the
XXmessage is desired (the character under the cursor indicates the
XXdefault if <return> is pressed. In this case, the default is 'no');
XX.sp
XX.nf
XX copy message? (y/n) @
XX.fi
XX.P 0
XXWe choose to answer no, so press the `\fIn\fR' key. Next
XX.B Elm
XXverifies that the subject is okay;
XX.sp
XX.nf
XX Subject: Re: Wanna buy some albums cheap?@
XX.fi
XX.sp
XXTyping anything other than <return> will allow us
XXto change the subject to something more appropriate.
XXWe decide, however, to leave it be and press <\fIreturn\fR> again.
XX.sp
XXFinally, we're asked if we want to send copies of this
XXmessage to anyone. We don't, so we press <\fIreturn\fR> one
XXmore time.
XX.P 0
XXThe program then puts us
XXin the
XX.I vi
XXeditor with a newly created file.
XX.P 0
XXAfter having entered a suitable reply, and left the editor,
XXthe
XX.B Elm
XXsystem then verifies that we really want to send the message with;
XX.sp
XX Are you sure you want to send this message? (y/n) @
XX.sp
XXTo which the response is `\fIy\fR' for 'yes'. It then sends the message off
XXto Jack, who will receive it hopefully quite soon (or at least
XXbefore he makes ashtrays out of the albums!) (we'll ignore the
XXnext message, which seems to be relevent, because these little
XXdisplays are eating up space in this document anyway!!)
XX.sp
XX.P 0
XXMessage 13 is still the current message,
XXso, now let's save it and the one after it from Jack, message 14,
XXby \fItagging\fR them both. We press `\fIt\fR' for \fItag\fR, which
XXputs the '+' tag indicator on this message, move to the next
XXmessage with the `\fIj\fR' key, then press `\fIs\fR' for \fIsave\fR*
XX.FS *
XXAnother subtle note: operations that work with tagged messages also
XXalways work with the current message, so we don't need to actually
XX\fItag\fR message 14.
XX.FE
XXThis prompts for the file to save to;
XX.nf
XX Save messages to: @
XX.fi
XXto which we answer \fIjack\fR. The two messages are then saved to
XXthe specified file, marked for deletion, and the \fItags\fR are
XXremoved from them.

XXGee..note five not only looks mildly interesting but it's an
XX\fBU\fRrgent message too! So
XXlet's read it by typing \fI5<return>\fR
XXto make that the current message, and press <\fIreturn\fR> again
XXto read it. After reading
XXthe message we decide that it's utterly worthless, not even worth
XXreplying to, let alone saving, so we'll mark it
XXfor future deletion with the `d' \fIdelete\fR key.
XX.P 0
XXA `D' is put next to the message now...
XX.P 0
XXBefore we finish up, we suddenly remember that one of the
XXmessages was supposed to be about how to write decent
XXdocumentation for Unix software, so let's try to find it...
XX.P 0
XXFirst off, we'll move back to message one with the `\fI=\fR'
XXkey and then use the `/' \fIpattern matching\fR command:
XX.nf
XX Elm : Pattern / = match anywhere in messages
XX Match pattern: @
XX.fi
XXwe'll type in \fIdocument\fR (it's case insensitive) and see if the system
XXcan find it. After a brief second or two it returns 'pattern not found.'
XXHmm...maybe it's not either the from or the subject of
XXany of the messages...In case that's true, let's try using
XXthe \fImatch anywhere in message\fR command;
XX.P 0
XXWe again type `/' for \fIpattern matching\fR;
XX.nf
XX Elm : Pattern / = match anywhere in messages
XX Match pattern: @
XX.fi
XXAnd now we'll use `/' again to get the match anywhere in file
XXoption. Now the bottom of the screen looks like;
XX.nf
XX Elm : Pattern / = match anywhere in messages
XX Match pattern (in entire mailbox): @
XX.fi
XXto which we respond \fIdocument\fR again.
XX.P 0
XXThe mailer then searches through each line of all the messages in
XXthe file and moves the current message pointer to message
XXnumber 7. A quick check reveals that this message indeed
XXcontains the word `document', but it's not the one we want,
XXso we're going to just get outta here!
XX.P 0
XXWe've had enough mail for today, so lets quit, leaving
XXall the mail in the incoming mailbox, except those few we've
XXmarked for deletion;
XX.sp
XX.I Quit
XXprompts;
XX.sp
XX.nf
XX Delete messages? (y/n) @
XX.fi
XX.sp
XXto which we answer `\fIy\fR' for yes. The next prompt is then;
XX.sp
XX.nf
XX Keep mail in incoming mailbox? (y/n) @
XX.fi
XX.sp
XXto which we also answer yes...the program then quickly saves
XXthe files, removing message 5, 13 and 14 as it goes along, and exits.
XX.sp 2
XX.P 0
XXAs you can see, the program is pretty easy to use! In fact, it was
XXdesigned to be used without this documentation at all, so you
XXcould toss this right now (but don't - think of the tree that
XXsacrificed it's precious life to allow this printout!)
XX.sp 2
XX.H 1 "Non-Interactive Uses of Elm"
XX.P 1
XXBefore we discuss the \fBElm\fR utilities, it's worth noting that
XXthere are a couple of other ways to use the main mail
XXsystem, namely to 'send only' and to send files (batchmail).
XX.P
XXTo send a message to someone without any of the associated
XXoverhead of the main system being loaded, you can invoke the
XXmailer with the name(s) of the people to send to. The
XXmailer will then prompt for Subject, Copies, and then drop
XXyou in your editor (defined in the ".elmrc" file) to compose
XXthe message. When composition is complete, the program
XXverifies transmission then terminates. For example;
XX.nf
XX $ \fBelm dave_taylor\fR
XX To: hplabs!taylor
XX Subject: \fBthis is a test\fR
XX Copies To: \fB<return>\fR
XX <invokes editor, message composed, then>
XX Are you sure you want to send this? (y/n) \fBy\fR
XX mail sent.
XX $
XX.fi
XXNote that the user input is in \fBbold\fR face, so you can see that
XXthe mailer verified the alias expansion too!
XX.sp
XX.P
XXThe mailer also supports batch type mailing, of files and so on,
XXby using the following starting sequence;
XX.nf
XX $ \fBelm -s "File help.c" dave_taylor < help.c\fR
XX.fi
XXwhich will read in the file and transmit it to the specified user
XXwith the specified subject. Note that the program is intelligent
XXenough to check to see what the standard input is from this
XXinvocation, so a command of the form
XX.nf
XX $ \fBelm -s "file help.c" dave_taylor\fR
XX.fi
XXwould result in the following sequence since the program is reading
XXthe "standard in" for information;
XX.nf
XX $ \fBelm -s "file help.c" dave_taylor\fR
XX To: hplabs!taylor
XX Subject: file help.c
XX Enter your message, ending with ^D
XX \fBthis is the message
XX Please don't ask me why I used this wierd mode!
XX ^D\fR
XX <end-of-message>
XX $
XX.fi
XXwhich is reasonable behaviour!! (not only that, but this is
XXalmost exactly what \fI/bin/mail\fR does in the same situation!!)
XX.sp 2
XX.H 1 "The Elm Utilities"
XX.sp
XX.P
XXThe \fBElm\fR program is really much more than a single
XXprogram for reading and writing mail. It's a unified
XXenvironment for intelligently dealing with electronic
XXmail. As a consequence, it contains a number of other
XXprograms to aid in the easy processing of email,
XXincluding the following pieces;

XX.LI "checkalias"
XXA script that contains the line \fBelm -c \$*\fR.
XX.LI "newalias"
XXThis program installs new aliases - please see the
XX\fIElm Alias Users Guide\fR for more information.
XX.LI "newmail"
XXThis program is designed to be put into `background' and then
XXmonitors your incoming mailbox for new mail. Whenever you
XXreceive new mail, the program will asynchronously write to the
XXscreen a notification, including whom the new mail is from and
XXwhat the subjects of the messages are. The output looks like;
XX.DS
XXNew mail has arrived;
XXFrom Jimmy Carter - Urgent matters of state
XXFrom joe at ucbvax.arpa - Did I hear someone say PARTY??
XX.DE
XXThis is quite helpful for deciding in `real time' whether it's
XXnecessary to read the mail immediately or not.
XX.LI "wnewmail"
XXThis is extremely similar to \fInewmail\fR but is
XXslightly modified to run in a windowing environment.
XXThe differences are that it stays in `foreground' (thereby
XXtaking over a window entirely), and outputs for new
XXmail in a slightly more succint format;
XX.DS
XXMail from Jimmy Carter -- Urgent matters of state
XXMail From joe at ucbvax.arpa -- Did I hear someone say PARTY??
XX.DE
XX.LI "readmsg"
XXThis handy little program can be used in two ways...first off,
XXit can be used to easily read a specific message in the
XXincoming mailbox, specified by ordinal number, by a string that
XXthe message contains, or by the metacharacter `$' which
XXrepresents the last message in the mailbox.
XX.P 0
XXFor example;
XX.DS
XX$ \fBreadmsg 4 5 9 | lpr\fR
XX.DE
XXwould generate a printout, \fIsans\fR headers, of the fourth,
XXfifth and ninth messages in your mailbox.
XX.DS
XX$ \fBreadmsg Carter | page\fR
XX.DE
XXwould be a fast way to read what `ole Jimmy has to say...
XXand
XX.DS
XX$ \fBreadmsg -h hear someone say\fR
XX.DE
XXwould list, including the message headers, the message
XXcontaining the string ``hear someone say''.
XX.LI "from"
XXSimilar to the Berkeley \fIfrom\fR command, this will
XXgive you a ``table of contents'' of either the current
XXmailbox or a mailbox of your choice. It's useful to
XXsee what mail is pending, or what's in a mailbox.
XX.LI "printmail"
XXThis is a formatting routine that knows that mailboxes look
XXlike and inserts either formfeeds or dashed lines between
XXmessages. It can be used in either of two ways - either
XXa mailbox file can be \fIpiped\fR to it or it can be given
XXa list of mailbox file names to format. The only option
XXon the program is `-d' which indicates that you want to have
XXa dashed line separating messages rather than a formfeed.
XX.P 0
XXFor example;
XX.DS
XX$ \fBprintmail -d | lpr\fR
XX.DE
XXwill print out your current incoming mailbox, separating the messages
XXby a dashed line.
XX.DS
XX$ \fBreadmsg 3 4 10 | printmail | lpr\fR
XX.DE
XXwill print messages 3, 4, and 10 from your incoming mailbox,
XXseparated by formfeeds (that is, each message will start on it's
XXown page).
XX.P 0
XXFinally,
XX.DS
XX$ \fBprintmail ~/mbox ~/Mail/mail.sent | lpr\fR
XX.DE
XXwill print all the messages saved in \fImbox\fR and in your \fImail.sent\fR
XXfiles. The second file will be started on a new page regardless of
XXthe presence or absence of the `-d' dashed line option.
XX.LI "newalias"
XXThis is used to install new user/group aliases. Please see the
XX\fIElm Alias Users Guide\fR for further information on this!
XX.LI "fastmail"
XXSometimes you want to have a batchmailing system that works as
XXquickly as possible, not bothering with aliases or any of the
XXother ``deluxe'' features of \fBElm\fR. An example of this would
XXbe if you have a large mailing list for a newsletter, say.
XXThis command, \fIfastmail\fR, is designed just for that purpose.
XXIt avoids the lengthy startup time of \fBElm\fR while still
XXgenerating valid \fIRFC-822\fR* mail.
XX.FS *
XXIf you don't know what RFC-822 is, don't worry about it!
XX.FE
XXPlease see the `man' entry for more information on this
XXcommand (use \fBman fastmail\fR after installation).
XX.LE
XX.sp 3
XX.H 1 "Credits and So on"
XX.P
XXThis mailer has been evolving over the past year or so with
XXinvaluable comments on the interface and general mail
XXissues from the following people;
XXWalter Underwood, Larry Fenske, Rob Sartin,
XXJohn Dilley (who got the SPECTRUM version checked out, too!) and Carl DierschowX.
XX.sp
XXFor the Berkeley implementation, lots of help came from
XXJohn Lebovitz and Ken Stone.
XX.sp
XXFor the Amdahl/UTS implementation, thanks to Scott McGregor and
XXStan Isaacs.
XX.sp
XXFor the Sun problems, Dave England in Lancaster (UK) turned out to be
XX``bloody useful'', as he would no doubt say.
XX.sp
XXThe Pyramid version is due to the work of Steve Malone
XXof the University of Washington.
XX.sp
XXA few others have been amazingly disciplined at reporting problems
XXand (usually, much to my relief) indicating the fixes needed,
XXnamely Guy Hillyer and Bruce Townsend.
XX.sp
XXThere have been many, many others, too numerous to mention, that
XXhave inspired me with questions like "Why can't Elm..." or
XX"Why does it ..." or "Can we make it..." too.
XX.sp
XXAlso helpful was the ability to have my `own' machine to
XXclose up the many many iterative loops that this software
XXhas gone through - since being on a big multi-user machine
XXtends to slow it down to a standstill...
XXFor that, I thank HP Colorado Networks Division for their
XXsupport, and now HP Labs for the wonderful working environment
XXthat I have here (more than any one person is safe having!)
XX.P
XXFinally, it's also been a very useful experience overall,
XXconfirming my beliefs that iterative software design and
XXkeeping a close watch on users (not to mention an open
XXmind and mailbox!) improves a product manyfold.

XX.SH DESCRIPTION
XX.I Elm\^
XXis a new interactive mailer program that supercedes
XX.I mail
XXand
XX.I mailx.
XX.PP
XXThere are three main ways to use the \fBelm\fR mailer;
XXone way to use the mailer is to specify a list of addresses on the
XXcommand line when the mailer is invoked. This will allow sending
XXof a single message to the specified recipients with all the
XXoptions usually available in the \fBelm\fR system itself.
XX.PP
XXThe second way, used most commonly when transmitting files and such,
XXis to specify the subject of the message and the recipients using
XXthe command line and redirect a file as standard input. For example,
XXthe command
XX.nf
XX elm -s testing joe < test.c
XX.fi
XXwould mail a copy of the
XXfile test.c to alias joe, with the subject "testing" indicated.
XX.PP
XXOtherwise, the starting options are;
XX.TP 1.0i
XX.B "-a"
XXArrow - force the arrow cursor (instead of the inverse bar)
XX.B "-c"
XXCheckalias - expand the following aliases and return.
XX.B "-d <level>"
XXDebug - set specified debug level - Output to "$HOME/Elm:debug.info"
XX.TP
XX.B "-f <file>"
XXFile - read file (specified) rather than the incoming mailbox.
XX.TP
XX.B "-h"
XXHelp - give a list of starting options.
XX.TP
XX.B "?"
XXSynonymous with the "-h" option.
XX.TP
XX.B "-k"
XXKeypad - force knowledge of HP terminal keyboard, to allow
XXthe use of the NEXT, PREV and HOME/SHIFT-HOME keys.
XX.TP
XX.B "-K"
XXKeypad + softkeys - enable use of softkeys on HP terminals only.
XX.TP
XX.B "-m"
XXMenu off - Use the extra lines for more message headers.
XX.TP
XX.B "-s"
XXSubject - specify subject for message to mail.
XX.TP
XX.B "-z"
XXZero - don't enter \fBElm\fR if no mail is pending.
