Rnmail......Reply to News/Mail
Rnmail
Rnmail destination_list
PURPOSE
The Rnmail command responds to news articles via electronic mail, instead of posting the message to newsgroups. It’s an interactive program, which means that it guides you through the process of sending mail, prompting you for information about the recipient of the message and more.
Rnmail includes a signature file, if the file is .news_sig and stored in your home directory. The inews program adds a signature via the .signature file stored in your home directory. (If both files exist, then they both will be added to a news item.)
Rnmail will use the default system editor to compose messages, which is defined with the EDITOR variable. This program also interacts with the trn nwsreader; you’ll want to look through the online-manual pages for more information.
EXAMPLE
$ Rnmail To: Title/Subject: Prepared file to include [none]: Editor [usr/bin/vi]: Check spelling, Send, Abort, Edit, or List?
OPTION
| -h | When used with trn, Rnmail will insert a previous article that is the subject of the current article. |
