PURPOSE

Defines how MH commands work.

DESCRIPTION

The entries located in the file /usr/lib/mh/mtstailor tailor how MH commands
work.

FILE ENTRIES

The following list describes the /usr/lib/mh/mtstailor file entries and their
default values.  All of the file entries are optional.

File Entry      Description

localname:      Specifies the host name of the local system.  If this entry is
                not defined, MH queries the system for the default value.

systemname:     Specifies the host name of the local system in the uucp domain.
                If this entry is not defined, MH queries the system for the
                default value.

mmdfldir:       Specifies the location of mail drops.  If this entry is not
                present, or is present and empty, mail drops are located in the
                user's $HOME directory.

mmdflfil:       Specifies the name of the file used as the maildrop.  If this
                entry is not defined, the default file name is .newmail.

mmdelim1:       Specifies the beginning-of-message delimiter for mail drops.
                The default value is \001\001\001\001\n.

mmdelim2:       Specifies the end-of-message delimiter for mail drops.  The
                default value is \001\001\001\001\n.

mmailid:        Specifies whether support for MMailids in /etc/passwd is
                enabled.  If mmailid: is set to a nonzero value, support is
                enabled.  The pw_gecos field in the password file has the form:

                My Full Name mailid

                When support for MMailids is enabled, the internal MH routines
                that deal with user and full names return mailid and My Full
                Name respectively.  The default value is 0 (zero).
