data about the sender. See also the
remotesignature string vari-
able. The default is none.
All the addresses in the
To: header must be apparently for the local
host. Local addresses are those that, after any
elm alias conversion, do
not contain a domain name. That is, they have only a user name (for
example,
santaclaus) or a user name and the local host name (for
example, santaclaus@northpole
).
[e-mail]
is considered to be a
remote address, even if it points to the local host. A user name that is
readdressed by the
sendmail system alias list is treated as local if it
matches the preceding criteria.
maildir Your mail directory, where you usually store your folders for received
and outbound mail. The default is $HOME//Mail
.
In
elm, you can use the =
metacharacter to specify this directory. For
example, if you save a message to file =/archive, the = is expanded to
the current value of
maildir. (The slash (
/) is optional.)
When you start
elm, if the directory specified by
maildir does not
exist, you are asked if you want to create it. If you answer
y (yes), the
directory is created, with access permissions set to 700.
pager The program to display each message. The default is the value of the
PAGER environment variable, if set and nonnull, or the built-in pager,
builtin+,otherwise.
The built-in pager,
builtin+, also allows you to execute some Message
Menu commands while you are viewing the message and it has some sim-
ple forward and backward scrolling commands. While it is active, enter
? for a list of commands. An alternative is the more utility.
precedences A list of precedence values that you can place in a Precedence:
header entry in outbound mail, using the Header Menu. Each pre-
cedence value can be optionally paired with a priority value that is
automatically placed in a Priority: header entry, causing the
received message to be marked as urgent. The default is none.
The HP-UX mail transport agent,
sendmail, recognizes this header. If
the precedence value is defined by a P control line in the sendmail
configuration file, /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
, the transmission prior-
ity of the message is adjusted accordingly. See sendmail (1M).
The format of the entry is
precedences = precedence[:priority][precedence[
:priority] ] ...
precedence is a precedence name. The default list defined in
/etc/mail/sendmail.cf is:
first-class Transmission priority 0, the default
special-delivery Transmission priority 100
list Transmission priority −30
bulk Transmission priority −60
junk Transmission priority −100
priority is an arbitrary string that is placed in a
Priority: header
entry.
prefix The prefix for an included line in an outbound message. When you reply
to a message or forward a message to another person, you can optionally
include the original message. This prefix marks the included line. The
default is >_ (the _ is interpreted as a space character).
print The command to run when the p (print) command is executed from vari-
ous menus. There are two possible formats for this string: If the string
contains the special variable %s, the variable is replaced by the name of
a temporary file that contains the messages, and the command is exe-
cuted by the shell defined by the shell string variable. If the string
