NAME

anno − annotate messages

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

Anno annotates the specified messages in the named folder using the field and body.  Annotation is optionally performed by dist, forw, and repl, to keep track of your distribution of, forwarding of, and replies to a message.  By using anno, you can perform arbitrary annotations of your own.  Each message selected will be annotated with the lines
 
    field: date
    field: body
 
The ‘−nodate’ switch inhibits the date annotation, leaving only the body annotation. The ‘−inplace’ switch causes annotation to be done in place in order to preserve links to the annotated message.
 
The field specified should be a valid 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 will prompt the user for the name of field for the annotation.  ^$HOME/.mh_profile~^The user profile ^Path:~^To determine the user’s MH directory ^Current−Folder:~^To find the default current folder dist(1), forw(1), repl(1) ‘+folder’ defaults to the current folder ‘msgs’ defaults to cur ‘−noinplace’ ‘−date’ If a folder is given, it will become the current folder.  The first message annotated will become the current message.
