Move read messages to "received" folder? (y/n)
This question is asked if you are reading your incoming mailbox and if you have
messages that have been read. The default answer is provided by the
always-
store
boolean variable (ON means y (yes) and
OFF means n (no)).
If you answer
y, undeleted messages that have been read will be moved to the
folder defined by the receivedmail
string variable and the next question will
also be asked.
If you answer
n, all undeleted messages are returned to your incoming mailbox
and the next question is not asked.
Keep unread messages in incoming mailbox? (y/n)
This question is asked if you are reading your incoming mailbox, if you answered
y to the Move read messages... question (or it was not asked), and if you
have messages that have not been read. The default answer is provided by the
alwayskeep boolean variable (ON means y
(yes) and OFF means n (no)).
If you answer
y, all undeleted unread (new and old) messages are returned to
your incoming mailbox.
If you answer n, all undeleted unread messages will be moved to the folder
defined by the receivedmail string variable.
If the ask boolean variable is OFF, the answers to the questions (which are not
displayed) are taken automatically from the values of the
alwaysdelete , always-
store
, and alwayskeep boolean variables, respectively.
Q Quick quit. This is equivalent to executing the q command with the ask boolean
variable set to
OFF.
r Reply to the sender of the current message. If the autocopy boolean variable is
OFF, you are asked if the source message should be copied into the edit buffer. If it is
ON, the message is copied automatically. If copied in, all lines from the message are
preceded by the prefix string defined by the prefix string variable. The
To:
header is set to the sender of the message (or the address in the Reply-To: header,
if one was set), the
Subject: is set to the subject of the message, preceded by Re:
,
and presented for you to edit. If the
askcc boolean variable is ON, you are prompted
for Cc: recipients. Then, the editor defined by the editor string variable is
invoked. After you exit from your editor, the Send Menu is displayed.
s Save in folder (same as >). Save the current message or the set of tagged messages to
a folder. You are prompted for a file name with a default value. The default value is a
file in the maildir directory with the login name of the sender of the first message
in the set being saved. Any tags are cleared and the messages are marked for dele-
tion. The current message pointer is moved to the first undeleted message after the
last saved message.
t Tag toggle. Tag the current message for a later operation and move the current mes-
sage pointer to the next undeleted message. The operation can be one of |, C, p, and
s.
Or, remove the tag from a tagged message. See also the Ctrl-T command.
T Tag toggle. Tag the current message for a later operation and remain at the current
message. The operation can be one of |, C, p, and s.
Or, remove the tag from a tagged message. See also the Ctrl-T command.
Ctrl-T Tag all messages containing the specified pattern. Or remove the tags from all tagged
messages.
If any messages are currently tagged, you are asked if the tags should be removed.
Answer y to remove the old tags; answer n to keep them. In either case, you are
prompted for a string to match in either the From: or Subject: line of each mes-
sage. All messages that match the criterion are tagged. If you enter a null string
(carriage-return alone), no more messages are tagged.
