ELM CONFIGURATION
elm supports user configuration by means of the
$HOME/.elm/elmrc
configuration file. You can create
the configuration file with the Options Menu
> command. It can contain any combination of the string,
numeric, and boolean variables described below.
String Variables
String variables have the form
string-name
= string-value
The following string variables are defined.
aliassortby The sort order for the alias index in the Alias Menu. The recognized values
are:
alias Sort by alias name.
name Sort by the full name of the alias, last name first.
text Sort by the order of the aliases in the alias text file.
Prefix the value with reverse- to reverse the sort order. The default is
name.
alteditor The name of the editor to use for messages that have initial text (a copied
message in a reply, a signature in any outbound message, etc.). when the
editor string variable is set to none or builtin. The default is the
value of the EDITOR environment variable, if set and nonnull, or
/usr/bin/vi otherwise. See also the editor string variable.
alternatives A list of other machine and user name combinations that you receive for-
warded mail from. elm uses this information when a group reply is being
processed to ensure that a reply message is not sent to a user and/or
machine address that would simply forward the reply message back to you.
The default is none.
attribution Attribution string for replies. When you reply to a message and include the
message in the reply, this string is placed at the top of the message. The
characters %s are replaced by the full name of the author of the original
message. The default is none. For example:
attribution = %s wrote:
calendar
The name of your calendar file. This is used in conjunction with the Mes-
sage Menu < (calendar) command, which scans messages for calendar
entries. The default is $HOME//calendar.
charset The name of the character set used with the MIME Content-Type:
header for the text/plain type. It can be any Internet-defined charac-
ter set name that is a superset of US-ASCII. The default is US-ASCII .
For example,
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII
compatcharsets
A list of Internet-defined character sets that are supersets of US-ASCII, so
that messages with charset=US-ASCII can be displayed without the
help of metamail . The default is a string containing the following values:

ISO-2022-JP
ISO-8859-1
