displaycharset The name of the character set supported by the display. This is indepen-
dent of the charset string variable. This is also copied to the
MM_CHARSET environment variable when metamail is called. The
default is US-ASCII.
easyeditor The name of the editor for the ˜e command of the built-in editor. See
also the editor string variable. The default is none.
editor The name of the editor to use when creating new mail. The default is the
value of the EDITOR environment variable, if set and nonnull, or
/usr/bin/vi otherwise.
You can use
none or builtin to specify the built-in editor. The built-
in editor is available for all outbound mail that does not already have
text in the send buffer (no forwarded message, no copied message in a
reply, no signature in any outbound message, etc.). If there is text in the
send buffer and builtin is specified, the editor defined by the
alted-
itor
variable is used instead.
See also the
alteditor, easyeditor, and visualeditor string
variables.
escape The escape character used in the built-in editor. The default is tilde (˜).
folderperms The permissions of the mail folders or the aliases.text file (created
by the user using elm) can be configured by setting the value of fol-
derperms in the $HOME/.elm/elmrc file. elm takes 0640 as the
default permission, if no value or an invalid value is set by the elm user.
elm mandates read-write permissions for the owner. Hence, if the value
of folderperms in elmrc file does not grant read-write permissions to
the owner, the default value is taken for setting the permissions.
fullname The name the mailer will use when sending mail from you. The default
is the full name portion (everything up to the first comma) of the
pw_gecos field from your entry in the /etc/passwd file. This field
can be set with the chfn command (see chfn(1), finger(1), and
passwd (4)).
localsignature A signature file that is automatically appended to outbound mail to the
local host before the editor is invoked. This usually contains personal
