displaycharset
The name of the character set supported by the display. This is indepen-
dent of the
charset string variable. This is also copied to the
MM_CHARSET environment variable when metamail is called. The
default is US-ASCII.
easyeditor The name of the editor for the
˜e command of the built-in editor. See also
the
editor string variable. The default is none.
editor The name of the editor to use when creating new mail. The default is the
value of the
EDITOR environment variable, if set and nonnull, or
/usr/bin/vi otherwise.
You can use none or builtin to specify the built-in editor. The built-in
editor is available for all outbound mail that does not already have text in
the send buffer (no forwarded message, no copied message in a reply, no
signature in any outbound message, etc.). If there is text in the send buffer
and builtin is specified, the editor defined by the alteditor variable
is used instead.
See also the alteditor, easyeditor , and visualeditor string
variables.
escape The escape character used in the built-in editor. The default is tilde (˜).
folderperms The permissions of the mail folders or the aliases.text file (created by
the user using elm) can be configured by setting the value of folder-
perms
in the $HOME/.elm/elmrc
file. elm takes 0640 as the default
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).
[e-mail]
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 .
