elm(1)

savename

If ON, and you are saving a message, elm constructs a suggested ®le name

 

in your maildir directory from the user name of the person who sent the

 

message, in the form =username. If OFF, no ®le name is suggested.

 

If ON, and you are sending a message that will be saved, elm constructs a

 

®le name based on the user name of the ®rst entry in the To: list, in the

 

same form as above. If OFF, no ®le name is constructed. See the copy

 

boolean variable for further details.

 

 

The default is ON.

 

sigdashes

If ON, insert two dashes above the signature text, included from a local or

 

remote signature ®le. This is a common convention. If OFF, omit the

 

dashes. The default is ON.

 

softkeys

If ON, enable the HP 2622 terminal function-key protocol. If OFF, disable

 

the function-key protocol. If the program is invoked with the -kor -K

 

command line option, softkeys is set to OFF. See also the keypad

 

boolean variable. The default is OFF.

 

titles

If ON, title a displayed message with a line in the form:

 

Message number/total sendername

date time

 

sendername, date, and time are extracted from the message headers in the

 

manner described in Message Index. This is useful if you have suppressed

 

the relevant header entries with the weedout list. If OFF, the message is

 

not titled. The default is ON.

 

usetite

If ON, use the termcap ti/te and terminfo cup cursor-positioning

 

entries (see terminfo(4)). If OFF, do not use those entries. If the program

 

is invoked with the -tcommand line option, usetite is set to OFF. The

 

default is ON.

 

weed

If ON, do not display the headers de®ned by weedout variable when

 

displaying a message for reading. If OFF, display all headers. The default

 

is ON.

 

METAMAIL CONFIGURATION

MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions) encoding classi®es the message and its attachments according to a Content-Transfer-Encoding, which is the encoding, if any, that is used to make the message mail- able, and a Content-Type, which is the type and form of the message part after it has been decoded. The encoding and types are described in more detail in the Attachment Con®guration Menu subsection and in RFC 1521.

elm provides built-in support for the following Content-Types:

text/plain [; charset=charset]

The text is all in the displayable character set charset which defaults to US-ASCII.

multipart/mixed ; boundary=boundary-string

The message is composed of a number of individual "body parts", separated by --boundary- string, each having optional headers de®ning Content-Type and Content-Transfer-Encoding. The default Content-Type is text/plain.

multipart/digest ; boundary=boundary-string

This is similar to multipart/mixed, except that the default Content-Type is message/rfc822.

multipart/report ; boundary=boundary-string

message/rfc822

The message consists of another message in standard message format.

metamail is a system program that is invoked by elm to manage the display of messages and attachments that are not displayable in ordinary ASCII text.
