Abstract
This document introduces the UCI version of the Rand MH
system to novice users. In particular, this tutorial discusses
how to read, send, reply to, and review mail; aspects of the
MH user profile affecting these activities; and other reference
works on MH.
Although this document is based on the standard MH
user manual[MRose85a], this document is meant to supple-
ment, not supersede, that lengthier work.
Comments concerning this documentation should be ad-
dressed to the Internet mailbox Bug-MH@ICS.UCI.EDU.

The Rand MH Message Handling System:
Tutorial
Acknowledgements
The MH system described herein is based on the original Rand MH system.
It has been extensively developed (perhaps too much so) by Marshall Rose and
John Romine at the University of California, Irvine. Einar Stefferud, Jerry Sweet,
and Terry Domae provided numerous suggestions to improve the UCI version of
MH.
Parts of this document are taken from a Rand tutorial [SPayn85] by Sue
Payne.
Disclaimer
The Regents of the University of California issue the following disclaimer
concerning the UCI version of MH:
"Although each program has been tested by its contributor, no warranty, express or
implied, is made by the contributor or the University of California, as to the accuracy
and functioning of the program and related program material, nor shall the fact of
distribution constitute any such warranty, and no responsibility is assumed by the
contributor or the University of California in connection herewith."
Scope
This document assumes that you have no knowledge of MH. However, to use
MH you should have some familiarity with the UNIX1 operating system, particularly
with the way commands are given, how files are named, the jargon (e.g. shell,
argument, home directory, pathname), and how to use a text editor (such as ex, vi,
or emacs ).
This tutorial covers only basic material. For additional information about
MH, consult the User's Manual [MRose85a]. Other documents of possible interest
to you include The UCI BBoards Facility [MRose84] and the MH Administrator's
Guide [MRose85b].

How To Use This Tutorial
Different typefaces and symbols are used in this document to denote the
kinds of things you (the user) must type on your keyboard.
1. The names of programs are given in text italics:
comp
2. Arguments to programs are given in typewriter style, delimited by
single-quotes:
`msgs'
3. UNIX pathnames are given in slanted roman:
/usr/uci/
4. Text giving a full example is presented in typewriter style:
comp -editor vi
The " " glyph is used to indicate an explicit space (the kind you make
with the space bar on your keyboard).
Introduction
With MH you can send messages to other people on your system and read
messages that other people send to you. Depending on how things have been
set up on your system, it may be possible for you to send messages to people on
remote systems. You can also reply to messages that you have received, review
them, organize them in folders, and delete them.
MH differs from other mail programs in that it is composed of many small
programs instead of just one very large program. Among new users this sometimes
causes some confusion along the lines of "what program do I run?" With MH, you
use the shell to invoke one program at a time. This means that when you handle
mail, the entire power of the shell is at your disposal in addition to the facilities
that MH provides. In the beginning, this may not make much sense or may not
seem important. However, we have found that as new users of MH gain experience,
they find this style of interface to be very useful.
3
Summary
The most minimal list of MH commands that you can get by with is:
inc - incorporate mail (get new mail)
show - show the first message
next - show the next message
prev - show the previous message
comp - compose a new message to send
repl - reply to a received message
Comp and repl give enough prompting possibly to get you along. However,
it is suggested that you take the time to peruse this tutorial before leaping into
things.
Messages and Folders
A message takes the form of a memorandum, and is composed of two
major parts: a header, which contains such information as ``To'' and ``From''
addresses, ``Subject'' , ``Date'' , etc.; and the body, which is the actual text of
the message. Each component in the header starts with a keyword followed by a
colon and additional information. For example, in the message:
Date: 10 Oct 84 17:41:14 EDT (Wed)
To: News@udel-dewey
Subject: UCI Software Talk
From: UCI Portal (agent: Marshall Rose) <uci@udel-dewey>
This is the text.
there are four header items, and one line of text in the body. Note that a blank
line separates the body from the headers.
MH stores a message as an ordinary file in a UNIX directory. This directory is
called a folder. If you choose to keep and organize your messages, you may create
as many folders as you wish. There is no limit as to the number of messages in a
folder. Typically messages are numbered from 1 up. All of your personal folders,
along with some other information that MH needs to know, are kept in a special
directory called Mail under your home directory. Normally, MH manages these
files and directories automatically, so you needn't muck around with them directly
unless you really want to.
4
You won't have any folders until somebody sends mail to you, as a rule. If
you are anxious to try out MH, but no one has sent you mail yet, try sending mail
to yourself to start out with.
Reading New Mail
When you are notified that you have mail (usually when you log in), perhaps
with the message
You have mail.
then you know that messages are waiting in your maildrop. To read these messages,
you first have to incorporate the mail into your "in-box" by typing the command:
inc
This incorporates the new mail from your mail drop to your in-box, which is a
folder named (naturally enough) `+inbox' . As inc incorporates your new mail, it
generates a scan listing of the mail:
Incorporating new mail into inbox...
2 + 10/10 WESTINE% USC-ISIF RFC 916 Now Available <<A new Request for Co
3 10/10 G B Reilly Gosling EMACS manual <<Marshall, I am lookin
4 10/11 WESTINE% USC-ISIF Internet Monthly Report
Each time inc is invoked, any new messages are added to the end of your
``+inbox'' folder.
To read the first message, use the show command:
show
This displays the current message. To read each subsequent message, use the next
command:
next
If you want to back up, the command prev shows the previous message. Another
way to read your messages is to name them all at once:
show all
This command displays them all, one after the other. The `all' argument to show
above might also be replaced with `next' or `prev' , as in
show next
show prev
which are respectively equivalent to the next and prev commands.
5
If you have had occasion to type inc more than once, then you will find that
``show all'' is showing not only the new messages, but also the old messages
that you've already seen. Therefore, you might find it better to use
show cur-last
instead. This command displays messages from the current message (`cur' ) to the
last message (`last' ). Each time inc is invoked, it makes the first new message the
current message. It should be noted here that the name `all' given in a previous
example is equivalent to the message range `first-last' , where `first' is the
name of the first message in `+inbox' . Also, ``show'' by itself is equivalent to
show cur
As mentioned earlier, with the UNIX shell as your interface to MH, it becomes
easy to list a message on a line printer or to another file. For example,
show all _ lpr
lists all the messages in the current folder to the line printer.
To summarize, the preceding has introduced these important concepts:
folders (in particular, the `+inbox' folder), messages, message names (e.g.
`prev' , `next' , `cur' , `last' ), and message ranges (e.g. `cur-last' , `all' ).
More will be said about folders and messages in succeeding sections.
Sending Messages
To send a message, you compose a message draft, either by replying to a
message that someone sent to you, or by creating a draft from scratch. The send
command is used after completing the final draft of a message, in the same way
that you mail a paper letter only after you are finished writing it. This is a common
source of confusion among new MH users who may have had experience with other
mail systems.
This section discusses how to originate messages and how to reply to messages
that were previously received, along with a word or two about addresses.
Originating Messages
To create a message draft from scratch, use the comp program. You will be
prompted for the header components and then the body of the message. If you
make a mistake, you may correct it later with a text editor. The draft will be sent
only if you give an explicit send command, so you do not have to worry about the
draft getting away from you prematurely.
To start, you simply type:
comp
6
To: First, the prompt `To:' appears. Here you type the address of the person
to whom you wish the message sent. If this person is on the same computer system
as you, then that person's login ID should serve as the address (e.g. `mrose' or
`jsweet' ).
Here we digress briefly to discuss addresses. A full discussion of addresses
is beyond the scope of this tutorial, but it should be mentioned that there
are other kinds of addresses besides login IDs. To send messages to people
on remote systems, the usual way is to type `login-id@host' in the `To:'
component, as in `MRose@UCI-ICSA' . Examples of `host' names at UCI include
`uci-icsa' , `uci-icse' , and `uci-cip1' . Upper and lower case letters may be
used interchangeably. Sometimes a person's last name (e.g. `Rose' , `Sweet' ) can
be used instead of a login ID, but this cannot be relied upon in a world without
unique surnames.
cc: After you have given an address to the `To:' prompt, you are prompted
for the `cc:' ("carbon copy"-an archaism) address. It is customary, but not
required, to put your own address here so that you get a copy of the message when
it is sent.
To put more than one address in the `To:' and `cc:' components, just use
a comma (",") between each address on a line.
Subject: The third prompt is for the `Subject:' component. Here a line
of any descriptive text will do. Once you have typed a line of text, a dashed line
is printed, and you are then expected to type the body of the message. End the
body with EOT (usually CTRL-D).
An example of a complete message draft, as it appears on your screen, might
be:

(The "^D" does not appear in the draft.)

At this point, you are asked
What now?
This is known as being at What now? level. For now, there are probably only four
options that will interest you:
edit - edit the draft
list - list the draft on your screen
quit - quit, without sending the draft
send - send the draft, then quit
All of these options take various arguments, but only edit really needs an argument.
Edit: The edit option will let you edit the draft before sending it. If your
favorite text editor is vi, then you would use the edit option as:
edit vi
Just specifying edit with no argument will only let you append text to the body
of the message draft. Another editor (e.g. vi, ex, emacs ) should really be run to
finish the draft up. When you leave the editor, you will come back to the What
now? level, where you can re-edit the draft, send it, list it, or simply quit without
sending the draft at all.
Caution: while in the editor, you should not delete colons in the headers or
change the spelling of `To:' , `cc:' , or `Subject:' ; and do not leave blank lines
between these lines. Feel free to change the addresses that you typed previously, or
to add these lines if they are missing. Do not delete the dashes that separate the
header lines from the text of the message. You should not add additional header
lines unless you understand precisely what you are doing. This means particularly
that you should not type or fill in a `From:' line. When the message is sent, the
system automatically adds this line. Also, you should not type a `Date:' line in
the header. When the message is sent, the system automatically adds the current
date and time.
Quit: If you quit without sending the draft, the draft is saved in a file called
Mail/draft under your home directory. This file can be recalled later using the
`-use' argument to comp:
comp -use
The What now? level will permit you to do further editing and to send the final
draft when you are ready.
8
Send: When it is time to send the draft on its way, use the send option by
itself. If there are any problems with the draft (for example, if one or more of the
people whom you specified in the `To:' and `cc:' components do not exist) then
you will be notified at this time.
Replying to Messages
To reply to a message, use the repl command. For example,
repl
creates a reply to the current message. You may also reply to a specific message
(other than the current one) by giving a message number (e.g. `1' , `4' , etc.) or a
message name (e.g. `first' , `last' , `prev' ):
repl prev
We haven't really introduced message numbers yet. They will be discussed in the
next section.
The process of replying to a message is very similar to composing a message
from scratch (see the previous section), but repl conveniently constructs and
displays the header of the reply draft for you. You need only type in the text of
the reply. An EOT (usually CTRL-D) indicates that you are done typing. If you
make a mistake, you may correct it later with a text editor. The draft will be sent
only if you give an explicit send command, so you do not have to worry about the
draft getting away from you prematurely.
An example of a complete reply draft, as it appears on your screen might be:
To: MRose
cc: JSweet
Subject: Re: UCI Software Talk
In-reply-to: Your message of 10 Oct 84 18:15:08 PDT (Wed).

I'll be there.
-jns
^D
(The "^D" does not appear in the draft.)
At this point, you are asked
What now?
This is known as being at What now? level. Refer to the previous section regarding
how to edit, display, or send the draft at this point.
9
As with comp, if you quit without sending the reply draft, the draft is saved
in a file called Mail/draft under your home directory. This file can be recalled later
using the `-use' argument to comp:
comp -use
The What now? level will permit you to do further editing and to send the final
draft when you are ready.
Scanning Messages
The scan listing created by inc shows the message number, the date on which
the message was sent, the sender, and the subject of the message. If there is
sufficient space remaining on the line, the beginning of the text of the message is
displayed as well, preceded by two left angle brackets (" <<"). An example of a
scan listing is:
1+ 10/10 WESTINE% USC-ISIF RFC 916 Now Available <<A new Request for Co
2 10/10 G B Reilly Gosling EMACS manual <<Marshall, I am lookin
3 10/11 WESTINE% USC-ISIF Internet Monthly Report
Note that all messages have message numbers.
To generate your own scan listing, use the scan program. Typing simply
scan
will list all the messages in the current folder. To scan a subset of these messages,
you can specify the numbers of the messages that you consider interesting, e.g.,
scan 2 3
Message names may be specified in addition to discrete message numbers. The
built-in message names recognized by MH are:
all_: all messages in the folder (`first-last' )
first_: the first message in the folder
last_: the last message in the folder
prev__: the message immediately before the current message
cur__: the current message
next__: the message immediately after the current message
10
Message ranges may be specified in addition to discrete message numbers or
names by separating the beginning and final message numbers with a dash ("-").
For example,
scan 5-10
scans messages 5 through 10 inclusive. A range of messages may also be specified
by separating a beginning message number and a relative number of messages with
a colon (":"). For example,
scan last:3
scans the last three messages in the folder. Similarly,
scan first:3
scans the first three messages in the folder;
scan next:3
scans the next three messages;
scan cur:3
scans the three messages beginning from the current message;
scan 100:4
scans four messages beginning from message number 100.
To summarize, the important concepts that have been discussed in the
section are: message ranges, message numbers, and message names. When an MH
command is described as taking a `msg' argument, it accepts either a message
name or a message number. Most MH commands are described as taking `msgs'
arguments, meaning that more than one message or message range is accepted.
Deleting Messages
To delete a message, use the rmm program. By default, rmm deletes the
current message, but you can give rmm a list of messages to be removed as well.
There is no corresponding "unrmm" program, but clever users with a need will
find out how to change the way rmm works so that it simply moves messages to
another folder (say, `+wastebasket' ).
11
Filing Messages
The possibility of having folders other than ``+inbox'' has been mentioned
previously. The methods for moving messages between folders and manipulating
folders are discussed here.
The refile command moves messages from a source folder to one or more
destination folders. By default, the current message is moved from the current
folder (typically `+inbox' ) to another folder specified as an argument to refile.
For example,
refile +todo
moves the current message from the current folder to the folder ``+todo'' . To
move messages from a folder other than the current folder, use the `-src +folder'
switch, as in
refile -src +todo last +save +notes
which moves the last message in the ``+todo'' folder to the folders ``+save''
and ``+notes'' . Note that this operation is a move, not a copy; it removes the
message from the source folder. To keep a copy in the source folder as well, use the
`-link' switch
refile -link -src +todo last +save +notes
Whenever a folder argument is given to an MH command, that folder becomes
the current folder. To find out which folder is current, use the command
folder
The inc command sets the current folder back to `+inbox' by default. To find out
about all of a user's folders, use the command
folders
Since folders can contain other folders, the command
folders -recurse
will recursively examine each folder for you.
To set the current folder, without doing anything else, use the folder program
with a folder argument. Hence,
folder +inbox
makes ``+inbox'' the current folder.
12
After a using rmm and refile on a folder a number of times, there tend to be
gaps in the numbering sequence. To compress the numbers for the all messages in
a folder, use
folder -pack
The Profile
You can customize the MH environment by editing your .mh_profile file.
Although there are lots of options, here are the most useful:
Editor___: lists the default editor that comp and repl should use. The default is
editor: prompter
but another editor might be preferred.
editor-next____: lists the editor that should be used after the last edit with editor. Hence,
if you have a profile entry
prompter-next: vi
after editing a draft with prompter, and being at What now? level, you
could say ``edit'' (instead of ``edit vi'' ) to continue to edit the
draft with vi.
Msg-Protect________:Whenever MH creates a message (for example, with inc), this is the
octal protection mode that the message is created with. The default is
Msg-Protect: 644
This protection mode permits all other users on the system to read
your messages. To maintain privacy, the mode 600 should be used.
Note that changing the mode in the profile does not change the modes
of messages that have been created already. Use the UNIX command
chmod to change the modes of your existing messages.
Folder-Protect______________:Whenever MH creates a folder (for example, with refile), this is the
octal mode that the folder is created with. The default is
Folder-Protect: 711
This mode permits other users on the system to make access to specific
messages in your folders. To maintain stricter privacy, the mode 700
should be used.
13
program____: Each MH program that reads user's .mh_profile file looks for an entry
beginning with its own name to determine its initial defaults. For
example, if you want the default editor for repl to be emacs, the line
repl: -editor emacs
is sufficient. Command line arguments tend to override profile settings.
Given the profile setting for repl above, if you invoked repl with
repl -editor vi
repl would use the vi editor instead of emacs.
signature____: When MH posts mail for you, it looks for this profile entry for your
"real world" name. For example,
signature: Marshall Rose
The contents of the ``signature:'' entry in the profile should be a
simple phrase, with no embedded periods (e.g. "Marshall T. Rose").
Note that your profile resembles the header portion of a message. Be sure that it is
properly formatted by placing a colon after each entry name, and keep each entry
on a single line.
Conventions
Now let's summarize the conventions that MH programs use:
1. Any MH command that deals with messages can be given a `+folder'
argument to say which folder to use. However, only one `+folder'
argument may be given per command in most cases.
2. If an MH command accepts a `msgs' argument, then any number of
messages can be given to the command. The MH command will expand
all the ranges and process each message, starting with the lowest
numbered one and working its way to the message with the highest
number.
3. If an MH command accepts a `msg' argument, then at most one message
can be given.
4. Switches (options) to MH commands start with a dash. Unlike the
standard UNIX convention, each switch consists of more than one
character, for example `-header' . To minimize typing, only a unique
abbreviation of the switch need be typed; thus for `-header' , `-hea'
is probably sufficient, depending on the other switches accepted by the
command.
14
5. All MH commands have a `-help' switch, which must be spelled
out fully. When an MH command encounters the `-help' switch, it
prints out the syntax of the command, the switches that it accepts,
and version information. In the list of switches, parentheses indicate
required characters. For example, all `-help' switches will appear as
`-(help)' , indicating that no abbreviation is accepted.
6. Many MH switches have both on and off forms, such as `-format' and
`-noformat' . In these cases, the last occurrence of the switch on the
command line determines the setting of the option.
7. All MH commands that read your MH profile operate the same way:
first_, the profile is consulted for an entry matching the name with which
the command was invoked; second___, if such an entry was found, then the
command immediately uses the arguments listed; third__, any arguments
on the command line are then interpreted. Since most switches have
both on and off forms, it's easy to customize the default options for each
MH command in the .mh_profile , and to override those defaults on the
command line.
Online Documentation
Each MH program has its own UNIX manual entry. For example, to get
information about comp, type
man comp
The manual entry for mh(1) lists all MH commands, while the manual entry for
mh-chart (1) lists the syntax and switches for all MH commands.
In addition, here are a few other manual entries might be found useful:
mh-alias (5) to find out how aliases in MH work;
mh-mail (5) to find out how MH stores and interprets messages (this manual entry
explains all of the standard header components);
mh-profile(5) to find out about the MH user-environment.
The manual pages for MH are in the standard UNIX format, but contain
additional sections unique to MH. Here's a summary of the sections one might find
in an MH manual entry:
Name command name and one-line description.
Synopsis syntax of the command.
All commands accept a `-help' switch.
15
Description semantics of the command.
Files files used by the command
Almost always this includes .mh_profile .
Profile entries in the .mh_profile used by the command;
Components these do not include the profile entry for the command itself.
See Also other UNIX manual entries (usually MH programs) that are related to
this command.
Defaults default arguments for the command
If the command takes a `+folder' argument, this defaults to the
current folder. If the command takes a `msg' argument, this defaults
to the current message. If the command takes a `msgs' argument, this
defaults to the current message or all messages, depending on which one
makes more sense.
Context changes to your MH context made by the command.
Hints Helpful hints discussing the easy way to do things.
History A historical perspective on why MH works the way it does.
Bugs Too embarrassing to mention.
Just kidding.
Obviously, not all MH manual entries may have all of these sections.
Reporting Problems
If problems are encountered with an MH program, the problems should be
reported to the local maintainers of MH. When doing this, the name of the program
should be reported, along with the version information for the program. To find
out what version of an MH program is being run, invoke the program with the
`-help' switch. In addition to listing the syntax of the command, the program
will list information pertaining to its version. This information includes the version
of MH, the host it was generated on, the date the program was loaded, and the
configuration options in effect when MH was generated. For example,
version: MH 6.1 #1[UCI] (gremlin) of Wed Nov 6 01:13:53 PST 1985
options: [BSD42] [MHE] [NETWORK] [SENDMTS] [MMDFII] [SMTP] [POP]
The ``6.1 # 1[UCI]'' indicates that the program is from the UCI mh.6
version of MH. The program was generated on the host ``gremlin'' on
``Wed Nov 6 01:13:53 PST 1985'' . It's usually a good idea to send the output
of the `-help' switch along with your report.
16
If there is no local MH maintainer, try the address Bug-MH. If that fails, use
the Internet mailbox Bug-MH@UCI.ARPA.
More on MH
There are myriad aspects of MH that this tutorial hasn't touched upon. Here
are a few to whet your appetite:
1. user-defined sequences
Define meaningful message names and shorten type-in considerably (see
pick (1) for details).
2. draft folders
Maintain a folder of drafts so that more than one draft can be edited
at a time, and allow a draft to be edited over several UNIX sessions
independently of other drafts (see the Advanced Features section of
the MH user's manual for details).
3. draft pushing
Post a draft in the background and immediately free your terminal for
other activities (see the Advanced Features section of the MH user's
manual for details).
4. aliases
Maintain one or more alias files containing the addresses of the people
frequently (or infrequently) sent to. This lets you shorten type-in of
addressees and saves you from looking up their addresses all the time.
(see mh-alias (5) for details).
