[1mNAME
     [0mxmail - X11 visual interface to the mail program

[1mSYNOPSIS
     xmail [0m[[1m-[0m_t_o_o_l_k_i_t_o_p_t_i_o_n_s] [[1m-[0m_x_m_a_i_l_o_p_t_i_o_n_s]

[1mDESCRIPTION
     xmail [0mis an X11 window based visual interface to the [1mMail
     [0mprogram.  It offers functionality similar to the SunView
     mailtool, but with some enhancements.

     Users may use mouse button actions in the index window to
     select a message for further processing (by pressing left
     mouse button), and automatically read the selected message
     (by pressing the right mouse button).

     Folder specification is aided by a selection menu which can
     walk down through the user's folder directory hierarchy.

     Message composition and modification is provided by the
     user's preferred visual editor (vi by default).  Editor
     preference can be specified using the process or Mail
     environment variable VISUAL.

     Help is available for any window or command button by press-
     ing the middle mouse button on the window or command button
     while holding down the Shift key.

[1mOPTIONS
     [0mA non-existent or illegal command line option specification
     will cause display of the usage statement and xmail termina-
     tion.

     [1m-toolkitoptions
	  [0mAll standard X11 toolkit options are accepted on the
	  command line.

     [1m-xmailoptions
	  [0mxmail also accepts the following additional options:

	  [1m-iconGeometry [0m+_X_O_f_f+_Y_O_f_f
	       provides a command line option for specifying the
	       preferred geometry location for the xmail icon
	       window.	This overrides any xmail resource specif-
	       ication for "[1m*iconGeometry: [0m+_X_O_f_f+_Y_O_f_f".

	  [1m-nb  [0mtells xmail to [1mnot [0mring the terminal bell when
	       issuing status and error messages.  This is
	       equivalent to the xmail resource specification
	       "[1m*bellRing: [0m_F_a_l_s_e".

	       specifies the font to use when displaying help
	       text.  This option overrides the xmail resource
	       specification "[1m*helpFont: [0m_f_o_n_t_n_a_m_e".

	  [1m-n   [0mtells Mail to [1mnot [0minitialize from the system
	       default Mail.rc file.  This option is actually a
	       Mail program option, which is passed on to it dur-
	       ing startup from xmail.	The option can also be
	       specified as an xmail resource using the specifi-
	       cation "[1m*mailopt_n: [0m_T_r_u_e".

	  [1m-U   [0mtells Mail to convert internet style addresses
	       into uucp format.  This option also is a Mail
	       option, passed on to it during startup.	The
	       option can also be specified as an xmail resource
	       using the specification "[1m*mailopt_U: [0m_T_r_u_e".

	  [1m-f [0m+_f_o_l_d_e_r_n_a_m_e
	       tells Mail to start by processing the specified
	       folder.	This is also a Mail program option,
	       passed to it during startup.  The option can also
	       be specified as an xmail resource using the
	       specification "[1m*MFileName: [0m+_f_o_l_d_e_r_n_a_m_e".

	  [1m-ls  [0mtells xmail to [1mnot [0mshow the last message of a
	       folder by default.  This option is equivalent to
	       setting the xmail resource [1m*Show_Last [0mto _F_a_l_s_e.
	       If disabled, xmail (actually Mail) will display
	       the default (usually first) message of a folder
	       when switching to or re-reading a folder.  By
	       default, xmail attempts to read the latest (or
	       last) message of a folder.

[1mUSAGE
     [0mThe xmail shell appearance is similar in layout to mailtool.
     A title bar decorates the top of the shell, and carries the
     name and version of the program, as well as information
     about the current mail folder and its content.

     Immediately below the title bar, an index window displays
     header information for the current mail folder.  Message
     selection is indicated by highlight of the number of a par-
     ticular message.  New and unread mail are prefixed with 'N'
     and 'U' characters.  Deleted messages not yet removed from
     the index list have the letter 'D' preceding the message
     number.

     Below the index window, a status window displays status and
     error messages.  The terminal bell is usually rung to draw
     attention to these messages.  The bell can be disabled from
     the command line or user resource file.

     The center portion of the shell displays a panel with a
     selection of commonly used Mail commands.	Pressing and then
     releasing (_a_l_s_o _k_n_o_w_n _a_s "[1mclicking[0m") the [1mleft [0mmouse button
     while the cursor is within a particular command button box
     invokes that Mail command.

     Each button in the command panel also offers an expanded
     menu of choices.  Pressing the [1mright [0mmouse button presents
     the user with the expanded menu.  [1mDragging [0mthe cursor over
     one of these selections _w_h_i_l_e _s_t_i_l_l _h_o_l_d_i_n_g _t_h_e _r_i_g_h_t _b_u_t_t_o_n
     _d_o_w_n causes the particular selection to highlight.  [1mReleas-
     ing [0mthe right button while a selection is highlighted
     invokes that particular command action.

     Keyboard accelerators for these actions are indicated by
     appropriate entries in the command menus.	Users may take
     advantage of these accelerators by holding down the Shift
     and/or Control key(s) prior to clicking the left mouse but-
     ton on the desired command.

     A grip along the right edge of the command panel allows the
     user to slide the status window/command panel combination up
     and down in the xmail shell, to accommodate those times when
     the user is reviewing a short list of longer than average
     messages, or a longer list of relatively short messages.

     Message text is displayed in the bottom window of the xmail
     shell.  Like the index window above, scroll bars provide
     easy access to any portion of the text.  Because the reading
     of a very large message can take more than a few moments,
     xmail decides when starting Mail or changing folders that a
     message longer than 65,000 characters will [1mnot [0mbe automati-
     cally displayed.

     A modified mailWatch widget (ala xwatch) is used as the
     xmail icon window.  The mailbox flag will be raised and mail
     shown inside, whenever new mail arrives.  In the non-iconic
     state, the [1mNewmail [0mcommand button is highlighted to signal
     new mail arrival.	Clicking on the Newmail button will reset
     the flag and highlighting, and deliver the new mail to your
     display.

     Pressing the [1mmiddle [0mmouse button on any window or command
     button of the xmail shell while holding down either [1mShift
     [0mkey will cause help information relating to that window (or
     button) to be displayed in the _t_e_x_t (bottom) window.
     Releasing the mouse button will cause the help information
     to disappear.

     During command execution, the cursor is changed to a watch
     face to indicate that xmail is busy.  Upon completion of the
     activity, the cursor is restored to its previous value.

[1mICONIFICATION
     [0mxmail establishes access to a dummy mail folder whenever the
     application is iconified.	This is done to prevent potential
     corruption of a real mail folder, should the user choose to
     read their mail from another process while xmail is running.
     Because of this action, iconifying xmail [1malways [0m_C_O_M_M_I_T_S any
     changes made to the current folder, prior to switching to
     the dummy folder.

     The original folder being read by the user will be automati-
     cally reinstated as current whenever xmail is again de-
     iconified.  This action will flush any deleted messages from
     the index headers and renumber the remaining messages in the
     folder.  The last message in the folder will then become the
     current message displayed (unless xmail was started with the
     [1m*Show_Last [0mresource option disabled, in which case the first
     message would be made current).

     If the "current" folder was the user's system folder, any
     new mail received since the iconification would be automati-
     cally included by the re-access.  If some other folder were
     current (_o_r _n_o _f_o_l_d_e_r, _d_u_e _t_o _i_n_i_t_i_a_l _c_o_n_d_i_t_i_o_n_s _o_f _n_o _m_a_i_l
     _f_o_r _t_h_e _u_s_e_r), de-iconification would not cause the reading
     of any new mail.  Under those circumstances the user must
     press the [1mNewmail [0mcommand button to read the new mail (and
     change to the system mail folder).

     Iconification is typically promoted by user definable button
     events which are particular to the window manager in use at
     the time.	The National Semiconductor Corporation logo
     displayed at the left of the title bar will also make a win-
     dow manager request to iconify, under X11 Release 4.  (_U_n_d_e_r
     _R_e_l_e_a_s_e _3, _i_t _w_i_l_l _s_i_m_p_l_y _r_i_n_g _t_h_e _t_e_r_m_i_n_a_l _b_e_l_l, _a_s _R_3 _d_i_d

[1mSENDING MESSAGES
     [0mAll send and reply operations invoke the user's preferred
     editor (_a_s _d_e_f_i_n_e_d _b_y _t_h_e _u_s_e_r'_s [1mVISUAL [0m_e_n_v_i_r_o_n_m_e_n_t _v_a_r_i_-
     _a_b_l_e) to create or modify the message prior to delivery.  An
     appropriate xterm window will be created to contain the edit
     session.  The _d_e_f_a_u_l_t editor will be [1mvi[0m, if no VISUAL
     (_m_a_i_l_r_c _o_r _p_r_o_c_e_s_s) environment variable definition exists.

     Resources for this edit window must be specified in the
     user's "[1m/.Xdefaults[0m" file, as opposed to the xmail applica-
     tion default file, because the editor invocation is actually
     an [1mxterm [0mwindow, not a widget of xmail.  User's may specify
     resources for this xterm message composition window using
     the xmail Class identifier followed by the xterm terminal
     resources identifier "vt100", as in "[1mXMail*vt100.[0m<_r_e_s_o_u_r_c_e:
     _v_a_l_u_e>".  For example, the author uses the following
     resource definitions in a ~/.Xdefaults file to control

     message composition windows.

	  XMail*vt100.font:		  fg-22
	  XMail*vt100.foreground:	  white
	  XMail*vt100.background:	  blue
	  XMail*vt100.mouse:		  white

     Upon completion of the send/reply editing session, a smaller
     window will be displayed containing _T_o:, _S_u_b_j_e_c_t:, _C_c:, and
     _B_c_c: fields for the current message composition.  Help is
     available for each of these fields by pressing the middle
     mouse button while holding down either keyboard Shift key.

     A menu of user defined mail aliases is available for any of
     the To:, Cc:, or Bcc: windows.  Pressing the right mouse
     button while the cursor is in any of these input fields
     causes the alias names menu to be displayed.  If the user
     has not defined any mail aliases, the terminal bell will be
     rung instead, to indicate that no alias names menu is avail-
     able.

     Like the _F_i_l_e: window used to enter file and mail folder
     names, the content of the send window popup fields may be
     modified by the user as needed. Backspace and delete keys
     remove the previous character, control_W deletes the previ-
     ous word, and control_U deletes the entire line of informa-
     tion.  Pressing the Return key in any of these four fields
     causes the cursor to automatically warp to the next field.

     Users may append their _S_i_g_n or _s_i_g_n autograph (see [1mMail(1)[0m)
     once only to the end of the message text.	Pressing the
     _D_e_l_i_v_e_r button causes the message to be delivered, while the
     right mouse button displays a menu for the Deliver, _C_a_n_c_e_l
     (and delete), and Cancel (and save in your dead.letter file)
     commands.

     Mail forwarded to another user will be bracketed by a "_B_e_g_i_n
     _F_o_r_w_a_r_d_e_d _M_e_s_s_a_g_e/_E_n_d _F_o_r_w_a_r_d_e_d _M_e_s_s_a_g_e" string pair when
     using the "_f_o_r_w_a_r_d _m_e_s_s_a_g_e" Send command menu option.  Also
     included will be a "_F_o_r_w_a_r_d_e_d: _M_a_i_l _f_r_o_m ..." line in the
     mail header.

     Reply messages will include a "_I_n-_R_e_p_l_y-_T_o: _M_a_i_l _f_r_o_m ..."
     string in the mail header.  Like the "_F_o_r_w_a_r_d_e_d:" header
     described above, it will include the name of the original
     sender, as well as the date the original message was
     received.

[1mFOLDERS
     [0mIf the right mouse button is pressed while the cursor is
     within the command panel [1mfolder [0mbutton, xmail will display a

XMAIL(1)	    UNIX Programmer's Manual		 XMAIL(1)



     menu of available mail folders.  Dragging the cursor while
     still holding the right mouse button down will allow the
     user to highlight a particular folder name.  Releasing the
     right button while a name is highlighted causes a copy of
     that name to be written in the command panel file window.
     The menu list is then unmapped.  Releasing the right button
     while outside any folder selection causes the folder menu
     list to disappear.

     Folders which are actually directories (that might possibly
     contain additional folder files) are displayed with a trail-
     ing slash character.  Clicking the [1mleft [0mmouse button within
     a directory folder (_w_h_i_l_e _s_t_i_l_l _h_o_l_d_i_n_g _d_o_w_n _t_h_e _r_i_g_h_t _m_o_u_s_e
     _b_u_t_t_o_n) causes xmail to search that directory and display
     (on a higher menu level) any files found there.  Dragging
     the cursor over one of these selections and releasing the
     right mouse button copies the complete folder path name to
     the file window.  This nesting of folder names may occur as
     often as there are legitimate folder directories.	Clicking
     the left mouse button on an empty folder directory rings the
     terminal bell.  Dragging the cursor beyond one of these
     nested menu levels causes that menu to disappear, without
     making a selection.  Re-clicking the left mouse button on
     the directory folder redisplays the nested menu.

     The first request for the folder menu extracts (from Mail or
     the system) the necessary information to create the menu.
     Subsequent requests simply redisplay that menu.  To force
     xmail to recalculate the folder menu content, press the
     [1mNewmail [0mbutton, which causes xmail to destroy the current
     folder menu and re-display your system mail folder.  This
     provides access to folders created after the start of xmail.

[1mFONTS
     [0mxmail now supports a wider variety of font styles, such as
     _C_o_u_r_i_e_r and _n_e_w _c_e_n_t_u_r_y _s_c_h_o_o_l_b_o_o_k.  Previous restrictions
     to a small set of fixed width fonts have been eliminated.
     Certain font styles (_s_u_c_h _a_s _H_e_l_v_e_t_i_c_a) still produce unus-
     able results, as xmail attempts to use the font metrics to
     determine the initial window dimensions fail, producing a
     window with more width than needed or desired.

[1mRESOURCES
     [0mxmail recognizes resource definitions for each of its com-
     ponent windows and command buttons.  Wherever possible, but-
     ton resources have been named for the label (or first word
     in the label) of the command button.  (_T_h_e _e_x_c_e_p_t_i_o_n _i_s _t_h_e
     _p_r_e_s_e_r_v_e "_s_e_t" _m_e_n_u, _w_h_o_s_e _r_e_s_o_u_r_c_e_s _a_r_e _i_d_e_n_t_i_f_i_e_d _b_y _t_h_e

     Color may be added (on a color display device) to enhance
     the appearance of xmail.  Resources in the application
     defaults file may be overridden by designations in the
     user's ./Xdefaults file, or (_i_n _s_o_m_e _c_a_s_e_s) by command line
     options.  Resources specified in the user's ./Xdefaults file
     should be preceded with either the [1mxmail [0mapplication or
     [1mXMail [0mClass resource identifier.

     In addition to those resources named for a particular xmail
     command button, the following additional resource names are
     recognized:

	  [1m.geometry: [0m+_X_O_f_f+_Y_O_f_f
	     This resource defines the initial startup location
	     for the xmail window.  Note the dot (.) just in
	     front of the geometry resource name.  Users are cau-
	     tioned to [1mnot [0mspecify this resource with the wild-
	     card (*) designation, as this would force all popup
	     windows (help, menus, and send/reply) to orient to
	     that same starting location, rather than be anchored
	     to the intended window.

	  [1m*iconic: [0m<_b_o_o_l_e_a_n>
	     This boolean defines whether the xmail application
	     should be started in iconic state or not.	It is
	     highly recommended that only the application
	     resource identifier be used if specifying this
	     resource.	Use of the [1mXMail [0mClass identifier would
	     also constrain any message entry windows to be
	     started iconic, which could prove confusing to the
	     unaware user.

	  [1m*iconGeometry: [0m+_X_O_f_f+_Y_O_f_f
	     This resource defines an initial location for the
	     icon, whenever the xmail application is iconified.

	  [1m*bellRing: [0m<_b_o_o_l_e_a_n>
	     Normally true, this boolean enables ringing of the
	     terminal bell during status and error message
	     display.

	     information.

	  [1m*mailopt_n: [0m<_b_o_o_l_e_a_n>
	     Normally false, this resource duplicates the effect
	     of the -_n command line option.

	  [1m*mailopt_U: [0m<_b_o_o_l_e_a_n>
	     Normally false, this resource duplicates the effect
	     of the -_U command line option.

	  [1m*MFileName: [0m<_f_o_l_d_e_r_n_a_m_e>
	     Normally null, this resource duplicates the effect
	     of the -_f _f_o_l_d_e_r command line option.

	  [1m*Show_Last: [0m<_b_o_o_l_e_a_n>
	     Normally true, this boolean enables display of the
	     last message in a folder, providing no other is
	     newer or unread.  Setting this resource to false
	     causes folder displays to start with the first (or
	     new or unread) message.

	  [1m*icon
	     [0mcontrols resources for the _i_c_o_n window.  In addition
	     to specifications of foreground and background
	     colors, it is possible to also specify mailWatch
	     widget resources, such as the following:

	     [1m*icon*reverseVideo: [0m<_b_o_o_l_e_a_n>
		If set to true, reverses the foreground and back-
		ground colors for the icon.

	     [1m*icon*update: [0m<_s_e_c_o_n_d_s>
		Specifies the update interval for checking new
		mail (default is 30 seconds).

	     [1m*icon*bell: [0m<_b_o_o_l_e_a_n>
		If set to False, prevents the mailWatch widget
		from ringing the bell when new mail arrives.  See
		also the .mailrc variable setting for _b_e_l_l.

[1mENVIRONMENT
     [0mSeveral process environment variables are of potential
     interest to xmail.


	  [1mDEAD
	     [0mNormally specified in the user's .mailrc file, this
	     variable indicates the name of the file to use when
	     storing dead letters.  If unspecified, it defaults
	     to "dead.letter" in the user's HOME directory.

	  [1mHOME
	     [0mDefines the path to the user's home directory, and
	     is used in determining the complete path for mail
	     folder and dead letter files.

XMAIL(1)	    UNIX Programmer's Manual		 XMAIL(1)



	  [1mMAILRC
	     [0mIf defined, denotes the full name of the user pre-
	     ferred Mail program startup file, used to define
	     various mail state variables.  By default, Mail (and
	     xmail) will look for the file .mailrc, in your home
	     directory.

	  [1mMBOX
	     [0mNormally specified in the user's .mailrc file, this
	     variable denotes the preferred file to use when
	     storing letters that are no longer to be preserved
	     in the system mail folder, and letters copied or
	     saved to no other specific file.

	  [1mUSER
	     [0mDefines the login name of the current user, and is
	     used in determining the name of the author of any
	     message compositions.

	  [1mVISUAL
	     [0mNormally specified in the user's .mailrc file, this
	     variable denotes the preferred editor to use when
	     composing messages in xmail.

	  [1mXMAILER
	     [0mIf defined, points to the particular executable to
	     be used as the Mail program.  Normally, xmail estab-
	     lishes connections with Mail in the default path of
	     the process (assumed to be at least "/bin /usr/bin
	     /usr/ucb").  If need be, the XMAILER environment
	     variable can be used to provide a specific path to
	     the Mail program.	Note: xmail will not work
	     correctly with any mail program other than the
	     intended Berkeley Mail program.

[1mMAIL VARIABLES
     [0mxmail also uses the existence and value of several Mail
     environment variables (_d_e_f_i_n_e_d _i_n _t_h_e _u_s_e_r'_s ._m_a_i_l_r_c _f_i_l_e)
     to aid in controlling it's operation.


	  [1malwaysignore
	     [0mIf set, causes xmail to ignore those header fields
	     specified with the _i_g_n_o_r_e .mailrc environment vari-
	     able, when printing messages or when including mes-
	     sage text in a send/reply composition.  This vari-
	     able can be altered during the execution of xmail.
	     (See the section below on _C_h_a_n_g_i_n_g _V_a_r_i_a_b_l_e_s.)

	  [1mautoprint
	     [0mIf enabled, causes the current message text to be
	     displayed when deleting or undeleting messages.  If

	     _n_o_t enabled, users must select or read the desired
	     message.  This variable can also be altered within
	     the current xmail execution.

	  [1mbell=[0m_v_a_l_u_e
	     If defined, determines the number of times the ter-
	     minal bell would be rung to indicate the arrival of
	     new mail.	A minimum of once and a maximum of five
	     times is the permissible range.  Whether the termi-
	     nal bell rings at all when new mail arrives is con-
	     trolled by the "[1m*icon*bell: [0m<_b_o_o_l_e_a_n>" resource (_o_r
	     [1m-nb [0m_c_o_m_m_a_n_d _l_i_n_e _o_p_t_i_o_n) described above.

	  [1mhold
	     [0mLike mailtool, xmail sets "hold" on the user's sys-
	     tem mail folder, unless "nohold" has been _e_x_p_l_i_c_i_t_l_y
	     specified in the user's .mailrc file.  This variable
	     can also be altered during xmail execution.

	  [1mprintmail=[0m_p_r_i_n_t_e_r _c_o_m_m_a_n_d
	     This variable, originally created for the Sunview
	     mailtool, allows the user to specify a preferred
	     command to use when printing messages.  The default
	     command is "lpr -p".

	  [1msendmail=[0m_s_h_e_l_l-_c_o_m_m_a_n_d
	     If set, specifies an alternate procedure to use in
	     lieu of the default /usr/lib/sendmail for delivering
	     mail. User supplied procedures must be prepared to
	     search the message file for recipients and ignore or
	     process unexpected options (which ultimately must be
	     passed on to the real sendmail program).

     Some Mail variables have no effect on xmail operation, and
     are in fact ignored if found to be set.

	  [1mreplyall
	     [0mhas no effect on the meaning of commands within
	     xmail.  This prevents confusion due to a difference
	     between how a command is labeled, and how it reacts
	     in use.

	  [1mcrt=[0m<_v_a_l_u_e>
	     is ignored, and always defaults to [1mnocrt[0m.	This
	     prevents user specified paging mechanisms from
	     interfering with full message delivery to xmail.

	  [1mscreen=[0m<_v_a_l_u_e>
	     For X11 Release 3, the screen limit is 100 headers.
	     With X11 Release 4, a maximum of 500 mail message
	     headers will be displayed, as required.

XMAIL(1)	    UNIX Programmer's Manual		 XMAIL(1)



	  [1munset [0m<_v_a_r_i_a_b_l_e>
	     should not be used to control variable settings, as
	     xmail ignores any "unset" commands it may find.  Use
	     the [1mset no[0m<_v_a_r_i_a_b_l_e> construct to disable selected
	     variables instead.

[1mCHANGING VARIABLES
     [0mxmail provides a method of altering the values of three of
     the Mail environment variables used to control xmail (and
     Mail) operations.	The states of [1malwaysignore, autoprint,
     [0mand [1mhold [0mcan now be "toggled" from a special menu attached
     to the [1mpreserve [0mcommand button.

     Pressing the right mouse button while the mouse pointer is
     within the preserve command button box presents a menu of
     "set" commands which indicate the state the environment
     variables would be changed to, if the mouse button were
     released while one of these commands was highlighted.

     Changing the state of the variable alters the next presenta-
     tion of the menu, such that the opposite state will always
     be presented as the command option.

[1mSEE ALSO
     [0mMail(1)

[1mBUGS
     [0mRepeated pressings of a command button prior to its comple-
     tion of an operation may cause xmail to crash.  Users are
     cautioned against imposing too many requests too quickly
     when using xmail.
