-
- What it is
- ───────────┘
-
- Do you know Unix? If so, you know "mail" already and you can step on to
- next paragraph.
- If not read on :-)
-
- Unix has a little mailtool called simply "mail".
- "mail" sends email via smtp to a server, it can get its input from stdin or
- out of an editor. Its very, very nice and fast if you simply want to send
- an email quick'n'fast out of a commandline or out of a batch.
-
- And exactly that is "warpmail for OS/2".
-
- What it does
- ────────────┘
-
- It sends an email via smtp.
- Input can come from
- - stdin
- - editor
- - textfile
-
- Installation
- ────────────┘
-
- Software requirements:
- - a 32Bit OS/2 system, that means OS/2 2.0 or higher
- - installed TCP/IP, network or ppp/slip
- - a smtp server somewhere to send a mail to
-
- Just copy the files in a directory of your choice and edit the warpmail.cfg
- for your needs. That means editing your name, email, hostname and smtpserver.
- It's very easy and I'm sure you're able to do that :-)
-
- I very suggest to put warpmail.exe in some directory which is in your path
- to have access to it from everywhere. If you do so, put your warpmail.cfg
- in your /etc directory (usually /mptn/etc on your bootdrive)!
-
- And if you don't want to type the long word "warpmail" everytime, just rename
- it to "mail", it's more unix like then ;-)))
-
- warpmail.exe doesn't need any dll or so, it's a standalone program and just
- needs its config warpmail.cfg (don't rename that, too!) in it's directory
- or (prefer that) in the /etc directory.
-
-
- Usage
- ──────┘
-
- WarpMail uses a config file named "warpmail.cfg". Look at it and set it up.
- warpmail.cfg has to be in mail'd directory or in the /etc (usually /mptn/etc).
-
- warpmail <email address to send to> [option]
-
- options:
- -f <file> : get the mail out of textfile <file>
- -i : get input from stdin
-
- If no parameter is given, warpmail will ask after email address and subject.
- If no option is given, warpmail will start the editor as specified in
- warpmail.cfg.
- If input does not come from file or stdin, warpmail will ask after a subject.
- If no subject is given, warpmail will generate one itself out of your
- email address and the actual date and time.
- After writing a mail with an editor, warpmail allows you to change the
- subject, the receiver or edit the mail again. Finally you can send it
- (just hit return to do so) or forget it (warpmail will end).
-
- CAUTION! You write *only the mail's text* in editor, file or stdin!
- There's no need to write the header (from:, to: etc) yourself!
- Mail do this for you.
-
- REMARK: all input queries have a time limit. If you don't input something
- in 60 seconds mail will end the query and itself.

- Compiled
- ────────┘
-
- with VirtualPascal 1.10. A damn good pascal compiler... I just love it!
- The exe-file is compressed with LxLite 1.18 to save space and enhance the
- startup time. If you don't know LxLite... try it! It's fantastic!
