17 \fIComp\fR is used to create a new message to be mailed.
|
|
|
18 It copies a message form to
|
|
|
19 the draft being composed and then invokes an editor on the draft
|
|
|
20 (unless `\-noedit' is given, in which case the initial edit is suppressed).
|
|
|
21
|
|
|
22 The default message form contains the following elements:
|
|
|
23
|
|
|
24 .nf
|
|
|
25 .in +.5i
|
|
|
26 .ne 10
|
|
|
27 .eo
|
|
|
28 .so @(MHETCPATH)/components
|
|
|
29 .ec
|
|
|
30 .in -.5i
|
|
|
31 .fi
|
|
|
32
|
|
|
33 If the file named \*(lqcomponents\*(rq exists in the user's MH directory,
|
|
|
34 it will be used instead of this form.
|
|
|
35 The file specified by `\-form\ formfile' will be used if given.
|
|
|
36 You may also start \fIcomp\fR using the contents of an existing
|
|
|
37 message as the form.
|
|
|
38 If you supply either a `+folder' or `msg' argument, that message will be used
|
|
|
39 as the form. You may not supply both a `\-form\ formfile' and a `+folder' or
|
|
|
40 \&`msg' argument.
|
|
|
41 The line of dashes
|
|
|
42 or a blank line must be left between the header and the
|
|
|
43 body of the message for the message to be identified properly when it is
|
|
|
44 sent (see \fIsend\fR\0(1)).
|
|
|
45 The switch `\-use' directs \fIcomp\fR to
|
|
|
46 continue editing an already started message.
|
|
|
47 That is, if a
|
|
|
48 \fIcomp\fR (or \fIdist\fR, \fIrepl\fR, or \fIforw\fR\0) is terminated without
|
|
|
49 sending the draft, the draft can be edited again via
|
|
|
50 \*(lqcomp\ \-use\*(rq.
|
|
|
51
|
|
|
52 If the draft already exists, \fIcomp\fR will ask
|
|
|
53 you as to the disposition of the draft.
|
|
|
54 A reply of \fBquit\fR will abort \fIcomp\fR, leaving the draft intact;
|
|
|
55 \fBreplace\fR will replace the existing draft with the appropriate form;
|
|
|
56 \fBlist\fR will display the draft;
|
|
|
57 \fBuse\fR will use the draft for further composition;
|
|
|
58 and \fBrefile\ +folder\fR will
|
|
|
59 file the draft in the given folder, and give you a new draft with the
|
|
|
60 appropriate form.
|
|
|
61 (The `+folder' argument to \fBrefile\fR is required.)
|
|
|
62
|
|
|
63 The `\-draftfolder\ +folder' and `\-draftmessage\ msg' switches invoke the
|
|
|
64 \fIMH\fR draft folder facility.
|
|
|
65 This is an advanced (and highly useful) feature.
|
|
|
66 Consult the \fBAdvanced Features\fR section of the \fIMH\fR manual for more
|
|
|
67 information.
|
|
|
68
|
|
|
69 The `\-file\ file' switch says to use the named file as the message draft.
|
|
|
70
|
|
|
71 The `\-editor\ editor' switch indicates the editor to
|
|
|
72 use for the initial edit.
|
|
|
73 Upon exiting from the editor,
|
|
|
74 \fIcomp\fR will invoke the \fIwhatnow\fR program.
|
|
|
75 See \fIwhatnow\fR\0(1) for a discussion of available options.
|
|
|
76 The invocation of this program can be inhibited by using the `\-nowhatnowproc'
|
|
|
77 switch.
|
|
|
78 (In truth of fact,
|
|
|
79 it is the \fIwhatnow\fR program which starts the initial edit.
|
|
|
80 Hence, `\-nowhatnowproc' will prevent any edit from occurring.)

111 If \fIwhatnowproc\fR is \fIwhatnow\fR,

112 then \fIcomp\fR uses a built\-in \fIwhatnow\fR,
|
|
|
113 it does not actually run the \fIwhatnow\fR program.
|
|
|
114 Hence, if you define your own \fIwhatnowproc\fR,
|
|
|
115 don't call it \fIwhatnow\fR since \fIcomp\fR won't run it.
