RNMAIL(1)                USER COMMANDS                  RNMAIL(1)



NAME
     Rnmail   a program for replying via mail

SYNOPSIS
     Rnmail destinationlist
       or
     Rnmail  h headerfile [oldarticle]
       or
     Rnmail

DESCRIPTION
     Rnmail is a friendly interface for mailing replies  to  news
     articles.   It will ask several questions, then allow you to
     enter your letter, and then mail it off.  If you type h  and
     a carriage return at any point, Rnmail will tell you what it
     wants to know.

     The  h form is used when invoked from rn.   If  your  editor
     can  edit  multiple files, and you want the article to which
     you are replying to show up as an alternate file, define the
     environment  variable  MAILPOSTER as "Rnmail  h %h %A".  You
     can also modify the the MAILHEADER environment  variable  to
     change the header file that rn passes to Rnmail.

ENVIRONMENT
     DOTDIR  If defined, specifies a place other than  your  home
             directory  where 'dot' files may be stored.  This is
             primarily for accounts which are shared by more than
             one person.

             Default: $LOGDIR

     LOGDIR  Your home directory if HOME is undefined.

     LOGNAME Your login name, if USER is undefined.

             Default: value of "whoami".

     MAILRECORD
             If defined, contains the name of a file to which the
             finished message will be appended.

             Default: message not saved
