Name

anno − annotate messages

Syntax

anno [+folder] [msgs] [−−component field] [−inplace] [−noinplace] [−text body] [−help]

Description

The command anno annotates the specified messages in the named folder using the field and body. You can use anno with dist, forw, and repl, to keep track of the distribution and forwarding of, and replies to your messages. By using anno, you can perform arbitrary annotations of your own. Each message selected is annotated with the following lines:

    field: date
    field: body

Options

The −inplace switch causes annotation to be done in place in order to preserve links to the annotated message.

The −component field specified should be a valid RFC 822-style message field name, which means that it should consist of alphanumerics (or dashes) only.  The body specified is arbitrary text. 

If a −component field is not specified when anno is invoked, anno prompts you for the field-name for the annotation.

If a folder is given, it becomes the current folder.  The first message annotated becomes the current message. 

The defaults for anno are:
+folder defaults to the current folder
msgs defaults to the current message
−noinplace.
