This program is similar to Acme's Mail (see ../mail) but understands Plan B mail boxes instead. It is intended as an Acme user interface for users of mail2fs (i.e., Plan B mail boxes). You may install mail2fs with contrib/install nemo/mail2fs. By convention, /mail/box/$user/msgs is the main mailbox. (see the mail2fs man page, msgs(1) ). Everything is kept there. Thus, all relative paths for mail work within acme and most mail2fs scripts will be happy. Virtual folders are created by using text files (e.g., /mail/box/$user/msgs/9fans) containing text for msgs as shown when listing a mailbox. That is, copying lines from the output of msgs (or Msgs) to a file would create a virtual folder in that mail containing the msgs listed in the text. (You may edit a virtual folder at will). This directory contains some helper scripts, for use within Acme. Examples follow. See the msgs(1) section on reading mail within Acme. # open your inbox (/mail/box/$user/msgs) Msgs # open ALL msgs in your inbox (spam, deleted, ....) Msgs -a # open ALL msgs for 200908 Msgs -a msgs 200908 # open a virtual folder for 9fans (/mail/box/$user/msgs/9fans) Msgs 9fans For most of the scripts shown below in the examples, you may select some lines (or all the text :, ) and execute the command to operate on the selected messages. You may also execute the command in a message window to operate just on that message. To use them you might Local bind -b /acme/msgs /bin archive all 9fans msgs and add them to the 9fans virtual folder: |grep 9fans |Arch >>9fans mark all msgs with money in the subject as spam. |grep money |Spam reply to Sheldom Edit /sheldom/ +- |Reply delete all messages (they are kept in the file system, marked for deletion). :, (button 3) |Delmesg
