elm(1) elm(1)
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.IfOFF, no file name is suggested.
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, disable
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 program
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 accord-
ing to a Content-Transfer-Encoding, which is the encoding, if any, that is used to make the message mail-
able, 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
The message consists of another message in standard message format.
metamail is a system program that is invoked by elm to manage the display of messages and attach-
ments that are not displayable in ordinary ASCII text.
