MPE/iX Shell and Utilities Reference Manual, Vol 1

mailx(1) MPE/iX Shell and Utilities mailx(1)
fold[er][filename]
is the same as the file command.
folders displays the names of the files in the directory given by the folder variable; see the
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES section.
F[ollowup][refs]
replies to the first message given in the refs; mailx sends this reply to the authors of
every message given in the refs. The Subject line is taken from the first message in
the refs. mailx automatically saves your reply in a file which derives its name from
the author of the message to which you are replying.
To create your reply, mailx puts you into input mode, where you can use all of the
input mode commands.
fo[llowup][ref]
replies to the specified message; if no message ref is given, you reply to the current
message. mailx automatically saves your reply in a file which derives its name
from the author of the original message. This overrides the
record environment
variable if it is set; see the ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES section.
To create your reply, mailx puts you into input mode, where you can use all of the
input mode commands.
f[rom][refs]
displays the header summary for the specified messages. If no refs are given, the cur-
rent message is used.
g[roup][alias [name ...]]
is the same as the alias command.
h[eaders][ref]
displays the headers of a screenful of messages including the message given by ref.
The number of lines in a screen is given by the
screen environment variable; see
the ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES section.
hel[p] displays a summary of the command mode commands.
ho[ld][refs]
retains the specified messages in your system mailbox. For example, you might
decide to hold a message if you read it, but decide not to act upon it immediately. If
no refs are specified, the current message is held. If any of the specified messages
have been marked as deleted, the hold command overrides that and still retains the
messages. Subsequent delete, dp, and dt commands during the same mailx session
can delete files marked for retention. See also preserve, and the environment vari-
ables hold and keepsave .
