HP-UX Reference (11i v1 05/09) - 1 User Commands A-M (vol 1)
e
elm(1) elm(1)
permission, if no value or an invalid value is set by the
elm user. elm
mandates read-write permissions for the owner. Hence, if the value of
folderperms in elmrc file does not grant read-write permissions to the
owner, the default value is taken for setting the permissions.
fullname The name the mailer will use when sending mail from you. The default is
the full name portion (everything up to the first comma) of the
pw_gecos
field from your entry in the
/etc/passwd file. This field can be set with
the
chfn command (see chfn(1), finger(1), and passwd(4)).
localsignature
A signature file that is automatically appended to outbound mail to the
local host before the editor is invoked. This usually contains personal data
about the sender. See also the
remotesignature
string variable. 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 con-
tain 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
).
santaclaus@northpole.arcticsea.org
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 simple
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 precedence 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 priority
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
