resolve If ON, move the pointer to the next message in the index, after deleting,
undeleting, saving, or forwarding a message. If
OFF, keep the pointer at
the current message. The default is
ON.
savename If ON, and you are saving a message,
elm constructs a suggested file
name in your
maildir directory from the user name of the person who
sent the message, in the form =username.If
OFF, no file name is sug-
gested.
If
ON, and you are sending a message that will be saved,
elm constructs
a file name based on the user name of the first entry in the
To: list, in
the same form as above. If
OFF
, no file name is constructed. See the
copy boolean variable for further details.
The default is
ON.
sigdashes If ON, insert two dashes above the signature text, included from a local or
remote signature file. This is a common convention. If
OFF, omit the
dashes. The default is
ON.
softkeys If ON, enable the HP 2622 terminal function-key protocol. If
OFF, dis-
able the function-key protocol. If the program is invoked with the
-k or
-K command line option, softkeys is set to OFF. See also the keypad
boolean variable. The default is OFF.
titles If ON, title a displayed message with a line in the form:
Message number /total sendername date time
sendername , date , and time are extracted from the message headers in
the manner described in Message Index. This is useful if you have
suppressed the relevant header entries with the
weedout list. If OFF,
the message is not titled. The default is ON.
usetite If ON, use the termcap ti/te and terminfo cup cursor-positioning
entries (see terminfo (4)). If OFF, do not use those entries. If the pro-
gram is invoked with the -t command line option, usetite is set to
OFF. The default is ON.
weed If ON, do not display the headers defined by weedout variable when
displaying a message for reading. If OFF, display all headers. The
default is ON.
METAMAIL CONFIGURATION
MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) encoding classifies the message and its attachments
according to a Content-Transfer-Encoding, which is the encoding, if any, that is used to make the message
mailable, and a Content-Type, which is the type and form of the message part after it has been decoded.
The encoding and types are described in more detail in the Attachment Configuration Menu subsection
and in RFC 1521.
elm provides built-in support for the following Content-Types:
text/plain [; charset=charset]
The text is all in the displayable character set charset which defaults to
US-ASCII.
multipart/mixed ; boundary=boundary-string
The message is composed of a number of individual "body parts", separated by
--boundary-
string, each having optional headers defining Content-Type and Content-Transfer-Encoding.
The default Content-Type is text/plain.
multipart/digest ; boundary=boundary-string
This is similar to
multipart/mixed, except that the default Content-Type is
message/rfc822.
multipart/report ; boundary=boundary-string
message/rfc822
