XWhat does this software do for you?
X.LP
XThis software allows you to send and receive electronic mail.  Once the
Xsoftware has been configured, it can be used without any knowledge about
Xcomputer networking.
X.LP
XThe following summarizes a few features:
X.IP o
XMail messages can be edited, printed, replied to, sent, and received, from
Xwithin the mail program.
X.IP o
XMessages can be created with almost every word-processing package.
X.IP o
XAlmost every command can be selected by pressing a single key. There is
Xa "help" facility that gives brief explanations.
X.IP o
XYou can set up an "alias" data base to avoid the use of the usually
Xcryptical electronic mail addresses.  This facility can also be used to
Ximplement small mailing lists.
X.IP o
XThere is a facility for personalized headers and signatures.
X.LP
XThe mail software does not attempt to solve every problem in this world.
XIt is only fair to mention the most important limitations here:
X.IP o
XAny information other than pure text must be converted to text format
Xbefore you can mail it to someone else (for example, programs, pictures
Xand so on).  Fortunately, there exists a lot of software to aid in this
Xtask.  The people that installed the mail software should be able to
Xhelp you out.
X.IP o
XMost electronic mail systems impose an upper limit to the size of a mail
Xmessage.  This limit varies from about 60 kilobytes to about 100
Xkilobytes per message.  You will have to break up larger messages; the
Xmail software does not do it for you.  Normally, you should not run into
Xthis limit.
X.LP
XInstallation of the mail software is described in various other documents.
XThe remainder of this document gives an introduction to the use of the mail
Xsoftware. The following gives a summary.
X.LP
XChapter 2, "Starting the program",
Xdescribes how to invoke the program, and how to leave it.  Also gives a
Xgeneral introduction to the command structure of the program.
X.LP
XChapter 3, "Reading new mail",
Xdescribes how to take care of new mail, and what happens once you have
Xread a new message.
X.LP
XChapter 4, "Creating a message",
Xdescribes how to compose a message from scratch, and how to specify its
Xdestination.
X.LP
XChapter 5, "Sending and receiving electronic mail",
Xdescribes how to exchange messages between your machine and the rest of
Xthe world.  It does not apply if your machine is connected to a "file
Xserver".
X.LP
XChapter 6, "Alias data base",
Xdescribes the use of the alias data base, and gives an example of a tiny
Xmailing list.
X.LP
XChapter 7, "Replying to a message",
Xdescribes how to compose a reply to message.
X.LP
XChapter 8, "Mailing other files",
Xdescribes how to distribute files via electronic mail.
X.LP
XChapter 9, "Receiving encoded files",
Xdescribes how to decode files that have been encoded with e.g. the
X"\fCuuencode\fR" or "\fCbtoa\fR" programs.
X.NH
XStarting the program
X.LP
XStarting the mail program is easy; just type the command "\fCmail\fR".
XYou should see a screen that looks like the one shown here:

X==========================================================
XSelect a message category with cursor keys and press ENTER
Xor select one of the commands in the top line.
X.ft R
X.DE
X.LP
XThe screen is divided into three horizontal regions:
X.IP o
XThe \fItop\fR region shows the commands that can be selected by pressing
Xa single key.  Some of these commands are selected by pressing a
Xfunction key with the same name as the command; for example, the
X\fCUp\fR or \fCDown\fR commands are selected by pressing the
Xcorresponding arrow key.  Other commands are selected by typing the
Xfirst letter of that command; for example, the \fCH\fR key selects the
X"\fCHelp\fR" command; it gives a brief description of what the other
Xcommands do.
X.IP o
XThe \fImiddle\fR region shows various categories of mail messages.  You
Xmight think of it as a collection of boxes with letters.  For example,
Xthe "\fCNew\fR" box is for messages that you haven\'t read yet, and the
X"\fCOut\fR" box is for messages that you wrote, but that have not yet been
Xsent away.  The program also shows how many messages there are within a
Xmessage category.
X.sp
XA special case is the "\fCCreate\fR" box; it is for messages you are
Xgoing to write.  Think of it as a box with blank sheets of paper.
X.IP o
XThe \fIbottom\fR region gives an explanation of what you are supposed to
Xdo when you see this screen.  In this particular case, it tells that you
Xcan select one of the message categories by moving the cursor to the
Xappropriate line, and by pressing the "\fCEnter\fR" key, or that you can
Xgive commands by pressing the appropriate key.
X.LP
XYou can leave most screens by pressing the "\fCC\fR" key. In particular,
Xpressing that key while the program displays the first screen is the
Xpreferred way to leave the mail program.
X.NH
XReading new mail
X.LP
XDepending on how the mail software was installed on your system, you may
Xhave seen a message that "\fCYou have new mail\fR" when you started
Xup the machine. This section describes how to deal with new mail.
X.LP
XIn the display that was described above, move the cursor to the
Xline with "\fCNew\fR" and press the "\fCEnter\fR" key. The program
Xwill present an overview of unread messages that looks like the
Xfollowing one:

X.LP
XThe top line of the screen shows a few more commands than the screen
Xdescribed earlier.  New commands, for example, are the the PgUp and PgDn
Xcommands.  They are useful when information does not fit in the middle
Xscreen region.
X.LP
XThe middle screen region shows summaries of mail messages.  Each message
Xis summarized on a single line, and gives the following information:
X.IP o
XThe message sequence number (e.g. \fC90\fR).  Normally, you do not have
Xto remember message sequence numbers, but the mail program needs them in
Xorder to keep things apart.
X.IP o
XThe date of arrival (e.g. \fCDec 15 22:18\fR).  If a message is very
Xold, the year will be displayed instead of the hours and minutes.
X.IP o
XThe sender of the message (e.g. \fCWietse Venema\fR).  Usually, the mail
Xprogram presents a "human" name.  Every now and then, however, you may
Xsee an ugly electronic mail address.
X.IP o
XThe subject of the message (e.g. "\fCRe:  how do I forward a
Xmessage?\fR").  This allows you to decide if a message is urgent and has
Xto be dealt with right away, or if the message can wait till later.
X.LP
XAfter you have moved the cursor to the message you want to read, and have
Xpressed the "\fCEnter\fR" key, the program displays the selected message.
XThe following example shows what the screen might look like.

XSelect the message that you wish to forward, and press the "M" (Mail)
Xkey.  The program will ask for a destination. As usual, you can enter

X(Reading a mail message)
X.ft R
X.DE
X.LP
XAt this stage you may decide to do nothing with the message; just hit
Xthe "\fCC\fR" key and the program returns to the last message-selection
Xscreen.  Now that the message has been read it will no longer show up in
Xan overview of the "\fCNew\fR" category; once a "\fCNew\fR" message has
Xbeen read it goes to the "\fCIn\fR" category, and remains there until
Xyou explicitly delete it.
X.LP
XHitting the "\fCC\fR" key once more brings us back to the beginning of
Xthe program.
X.NH
XCreating a message
X.LP
XIn order to compose a message, move the cursor to the "\fCCreate a new
Xmessage\fR" line in the first screen of the mail program and press the
X"\fCEnter\fR" key.  After a few seconds you should see the first screens
Xof the same word processor that you probably also use for other
Xactivities.  Please note that the mail program has not terminated; as
Xsoon as you exit from the word processor you will return back to the
Xmail program.
X.LP
XIf all is well, your message should begin with a "\fCSubject: \fR" line.
XDepending on how the mail software was set up on your machine, an
X"empty" message may already contain one or more customized header lines,
Xas well as a customized "signature" at the end of the message.  The
Xfollowing is an "empty" message as produced on my personal system (the
Xtext between square braces is not part of the "empty" message; I just
Xadded it to clarify things).

X.ft R
X.DE
X.LP
XIf your "empty" message contains garbage you should contact the people
Xthat installed the mail software on your system.
X.LP
XThe message text that you are about to enter will be only part of the
Xmessage that other people will receive; the mail software automatically
Xprefixes each message with your own electronic mail address, and the
Xcurrent date\(dg.
X.FS
X\(dg Your message will probably be prefixed with several additional rude
Xheader lines while it passes through other machines on the way to its
Xdestination. This happens outside the control of the mail software on
Xyour machine.
X.FE
X.LP
XObviously, further details about the entry of message text depend on the
Xword-processing package that you are using.  Suffice to say that upon
Xexit, the word processor should produce an "ASCII document" file; the
Xpeople that installed the mail software on your machine should be able
Xto provide more details on this topic.
X.LP
XUpon return from the word processor back to the mail program, you will
Xsee the first few lines of your newly-composed message in the middle
Xregion of the screen.  There may be "funny cookies" in your text if you
Xforgot to produce an "ASCII document"; if that is the case you had
Xbetter re-enter the word processor (by pressing the "\fCE\fR" key) and
Xcorrect this mistake.  After this, your screen should be something like:
X.LP

X(Reading a message in preparation)
X.ft R
X.DE
X.LP
XWhat you see on the screen is a close approximation of what other people
Xwill receive.  If this is the first time you use electronic mail you may
Xwish to use the "\fCPgUp\fR" and "\fCPgDn\fR" keys to check things out.
X.LP
XNormally, the next step will be to mail the message to its destination,
Xbut you may choose any of the other commands shown in the upper line of
Xthe screen.  For example, you could choose the \"fCClose\fR" command to
Xput the message "on hold"; the mail program will ask you to give a
Xone-line description so that you can easily find it back at a later
Xtime (it will be stored in the category "\fCMessages in preparation\fR").
X.LP
XIf you choose the "\fCMail\fR" command, the program will respond with:
X.DS
X.ft C
XPress ESC to cancel. Send message to:
X?
X.ft R
X.DE
X.LP
XYou should enter one or more electronic mail addresses or aliases.  If
Xwhat you wrote was just a "test" message, you might want to mail it to
Xyourself.  There is nothing crazy about sending mail to yourself; many
Xpeople do that instead of littering their rooms with notes on small
Xpieces of paper.  Aliases are described later on, and are more easily
Xremembered than real electronic mail addresses.  Your input should be
Xterminated by pressing the "\fCEnter\fR" key.
X.LP
XAfter this, the program returns to the first screen.  The message you
Xjust "mailed" will temporarily live in the category "\fCNot-yet
Xsent\fR".  If your machine is connected to a "file server", it will
Xautomatically be moved to the category "\fCAlready sent\fR" within a
Xshort period of time. Otherwise, you should read the next section.
X.NH
XSending and receiving mail
X.LP
XThis section describes how to exchange mail messages between your
Xmachine and the rest of the world. This is automatically taken
Xcare of if your machine has a direct connection to a "file server".
X.LP
XIf you are not connected to a "file server", most of the mail-program
Xscreens will provide a "\fCNetwork\fR" command (for example, the first
Xscreen).  All messages that you produce will stay on your machine, in
Xthe message category "\fCNot-yet sent"\fR", until the mail software has
Xsent them away through the network.  Also, messages, having your machine
Xas their destination, will not arrive on your machine until the mail
Xsoftware has picked them up through the network.
X.LP
XThe mail software may have been installed such that it, as soon as the
Xmachine is turned on, automatically makes contact with the network.  In
Xthat case, you do not need to invoke the "\fCNetwork\fR" command by
Xhand.  It can, however, be useful if you are expecting urgent mail, or
Xif you wrote a letter that should be sent away right now.
X.LP
XThe "\fCNetwork\fR" command is activated by pressing the "\fCN\fR" key.
XThe mail program will ask for a network password (the one given to you
Xby the people that installed the mail software on your machine).
XTransferring mail across the network may take a few minutes.  If all
Xgoes well, all messages in the message category "\fCOut\fR" will have
Xmoved to the category "\fCSent\fR"; in addition, you may have received
Xnew mail that will show up in the "\fCNew\fR" message category.
X.NH
XAlias data base
X.LP
XThe addresses used in electronic mail are often ugly, and hard to
Xremember.  To alleviate this problem, the mail program provides an alias
Xdata base facility.  This allows you to use easily-remembered names
Xinstead of mail addresses; the mail program will automatically replace
Xaliases by the actual mail addresses that you have specified in the
Xalias data base.
X.LP
XThe following is an example of an alias data base:
X.DS
X.ft C
Xwietse    [e-mail]
Xjan    [e-mail]
Xstaff    wietse jan
X.ft R
X.DE
X.LP
XAn alias data base has a very simple format:  each alias definition
Xconsists of a single line of text with two or more words.  Words may be
Xseparated by blanks or commas.  The first word is the alias; it will be
Xreplaced (by the words in the remainder of the line) if the mail program
Xfinds the alias in the destination of a mail message.  With the alias
Xdata base shown above, the message destination "\fCwietse\fR" will be
Xautomatically replaced by the destination
X"\[e-mail]\fR".
X.LP
XAn interesting property is that an alias may be defined in terms of
Xother aliases; an alias may, however, not be defined in terms of itself!
XIn the above example, the third line illustrates the definition of an
Xalias in terms of other aliases.  The same line also is an example of
Xhow to implement a small mailing list; all messages sent to
X"\fCstaff\fR" will be sent to "\[e-mail]\fR" and to
X"\[e-mail]\fR".  Typing the word "\fCstaff\fR" certainly is
Xeasier.
X.LP
XThe mail program is smart enough to eliminate, after alias replacement,
Xmultiple occurrances of the same destination.  Thus, you do not have to
Xworry about duplicate destinations if you combine several mailing lists
Xinto a bigger one.
X.LP
XMost mail-program screens provide the "\fCAlias\fR" command.  This
Xallows you to look at the contents of your alias data base, and to
Xinvoke a word processor to make changes.  The word processor should save
Xthe alias data base in "ASCII document" format, just like ordinary mail
Xmessages.
X.LP
XIt is worth noting that aliases can be defined in any order.  The above
Xexample would have worked just as well if the last entry had been the
Xfirst one.  Thus, you may wish to keep the alias data base in sorted
Xorder.
X.LP
XFinally, a few caveats are in order.  If an alias is defined more than
Xonce, only the last definition will be used.  Although the mail program
Xdoes not care whether an alias is defined in upper case or in lower
Xcase, it is wise to keep electronic mail addresses in lower case.
X.NH
XReplying to a message
X.LP
XReplying to a mail message is almost the same as creating a mail message
Xfrom scratch; the main difference is that you must specify which message
Xyou are replying to.
X.LP
XIn order to reply to a message, select it with the cursor keys and the
X"\fCEnter\fR" key, so that the contents of the message become visible
Xon the screen.  Pressing the "\fCR\fR" key executes the reply command.
X.LP
XThe program will ask you if the reply should include a copy of the
Xmessage being replied to.  Including a copy of the original message is
Xconvenient if the sender asked several questions; both you and the
Xrecipient of the message can see what questions you are actually
Xreplying to.  In order to distinguish the text that you write from what
Xthe other person wrote, the latter text will be prefixed with a ">"
Xcharacter at the beginning of each line.
X.LP
XAfter you answered the question, the mail program will invoke a word
Xprocessing program.  Most of what follows is the same as when you create
Xan electronic mail message:  the mail program has not terminated, but is
Xjust waiting for you to finish editing; upon exit, the word processing
Xpackage should produce an "ASCII document" file; after leaving the word
Xprocessing program you will return to the mail program.
X.LP
XAt this point, your screen should look like this:
X.DS L
X.ft C
XClose  Delete  Edit  Mail  Print  PgUp  PgDn  Up  Down  Help ?

Xrespond with:
X.DS
X.ft C
XPress ESC to cancel. Send message to:
X? some-mail-address
X.ft R
X.DE
X.LP
XThe mail address shown by the program was taken from the original
Xmessage and should usually be correct.  If you wish to use that address,
Xjust press the "\fCEnter\fR" key.  Otherwise, the address can be changed
Xin the usual way; you can specify one or more aliases or electronic mail
Xaddresses.
X.LP
XAfter this, the message that you wrote will temporarily live in the
Xmessage category "\fCNot-yet sent\fR"; if your machine is connected to a
X"file server" the message will automatically be moved to the message
Xcategory "\fCAlready sent\fR".  If your machine is not connected to a
X"file server", read the section "Sending and receiving mail".
X.NH
XMailing other files
X.LP
XIn addition to sending files created with your word processor, the mail
Xprogram provides a facility to distribute copies of other files as well.
XThis feature is of limited use, however, since it only works well with
Xpure text files; a file that contains non-textual data, such as a
Xprogram or a picture, will have to be converted to textual form before
Xthe mail program can handle it.  The mail program can, however, help you
Xto find out whether a file is suitable for mailing.
X.LP
XMost screens of the mail program provide a "\fCFile\fR" command that can
Xbe executed by pressing the "\fCF\fR" key.  After a few seconds the
Xmiddle region of the screen should show a listing of the current
Xdirectory.  The top region of the screen lists the commands that you can
Xexecute; the bottom region of the screen shows the name of the directory
Xbeing listed.

XThis produces, in the current working directory, a decoded file with
Xthe same name as shown in the "\fCbegin\fR" line in the message (in
Xthis particular example, the name would be "\fCtutorial.ms\fR").
X.LP
XAnother popular encoding program is "\fCbtoa\fR". If that program
Xhas been used, the message looks somewhat like:
X.DS L
X.ft C
Xxbtoa Begin
X>Tt;&DfT]'F<GdAFD)e=BOr<'F!,=.@rcK1Ch[@!@<-W#/lYLO:dZg/5tO`m

X.LP
XIn order to restore the original file, select the message such that
Xits contents appear on the screen, and press the "\fC|\fR" key.
XThe program will ask for the name of a command:
X.DS L
X.ft C
X    Press ESC to cancel. Filter through command:
X    ?
X.ft
X.DE
X.LP
XAt this point, specify the "\fCatob\fR" command and a file name, and
Xpress the "\fCENTER\fR" key.  For example,
X.DE L
X.ft C
X    Press ESC to cancel. Filter through command:
X    ? atob >abc.def
X.ft
X.DE
X.LP
XThe "\fC>\fR" is needed or you will get the decoded data on your screen.
XIf all goes well, you should now have a decoded file in your current
Xworking directory (in this example, the name of the file would be
X"\fCabc.def\fR").
