There are two special values:
*clear-weed-list*
Clear the default list. The default headers are removed from the
weedout list, allowing you to completely define your own list.
*end-of-user-headers*
Mark the end of the weedout list, in case any following lines could
be mistaken for headers in the list.
The default value of weedout is *end-of-user-headers*
.
The underscore (
_) character can be used to specify a space.
Note that From weeds out both From
and From:. If, for example, you
want to weed out
From but not
From:, specify *clear-weed-list*
followed by From_ and any other headers that you don’t want to see.
Numeric Variables
Numeric variables have the form
numeric-name = numeric-value
The following numeric variables are defined.
bounceback Threshold for returning copies of remote UUCP messages. If the destina-
tion host is greater than the specified number of hops (gateways) from your
local host, the destination host sends you a copy of the message when it is
received. If the value is 0, this feature is disabled. The default is 0.
builtinlines Determines if the built-in pager should be used on some messages, even if
you usually use an external pager, defined in the pager string variable.
There are two ways of defining whether the built-in pager should be used.
• If you want to use the built-in pager on any message that is shorter than
n lines, set the value to n.
• If you want to use the built-in pager on any message that is m lines
shorter than the number of lines on your screen, set the value to
-m.
If you set the value to
0, the message will always be sent through the
external pager. The default is -3.
noencoding This enables you to send raw 8-bit or binary data when the mail transfer
agent doesn’t support the 8BITMIME and the -B8BITMIME options. The
default is
0.
The possible values are:
0 Always convert 8-bit and binary messages to 7-bit before sending
them.
1 Convert 8-bit messages to 7-bit, but depend on sendmail to handle
binary messages.
2 Depend on sendmail to handle both 8-bit and binary messages.
readmsginc The value by which the Reading in folder, message: counter is
incremented while reading a new folder. If you set this value to a number
larger than one, it will speed up the time it takes to read a large folder
when you are using a slow terminal. The default is 1.
sleepmsg The time in seconds that elm will wait after displaying a diagnostic mes-
sage before erasing it. The value can be 0 or a positive integer. The
default is 2.
timeout The interval, in seconds, after which elm rechecks the incoming mailbox
for new mail. The default is 600 (10 minutes).
userlevel The relative level of your user sophistication. Acceptable values are:
