find it convenient to create a startup file that sets these variables according to your
preferences; this eliminates the need to set variables each time you enter mailx.
Many of the following variables represent on-off options. If you set the variable itself
(to any value), the option is turned on. To turn the option off, you can unset the
variable, or set a variable consisting of no followed by the name of the original
variable. For example, setting autoprint turns the autoprint option on, and setting
noautoprint turns it off.
allnet Assumes that network addresses with the same login component refer to
the same person. Network addresses typically consist of several
components, giving information that lets a mail server identify a machine on
the network, a route to that machine, and the login name of a user on that
machine. mailx assumes that the login name is the last component. For
example:
print name
displays all messages that originated from the same login name, regardless
of the rest of the network address. The default is noallnet, where different
addresses are assumed to be different users, even if the login name
components are the same.
append
Appends messages to the end of the mbox file (your personal mailbox)
after termination. The default is noappend; messages are placed at the
beginning of the mbox file instead of the end.
ask Prompts you for a Subject: line when composing a message (if you have
not already specified one with the –s option). This option is on by default; to
turn it off, set noask. ask is the same as asksub. noask is the same as
noasksub.
askbcc
Prompts you for a Bcc: list when composing a message. The default is
noaskbcc; you are not prompted.
askcc Prompts you for a Cc: list when composing a message. The default is
noaskcc; you are not prompted.
asksub
Prompts you for a Subject: line when composing a message (if you have
not already specified one with the –s option). This option is turned on by
default; to turn it off, set noasksub. asksub is the same as ask. noasksub
is the same as noask.
autoprint
Automatically displays the last message deleted with the delete
subcommand or the last message undeleted with undelete. The default is
noautoprint; you are not shown messages that you delete or undelete.
bang Records shell commands run inside the mailx session (for example,
through the ~! input-mode command). Then, if you issue a shell command
and the shell command contains a ! character, mailx replaces that
character with the command line for the previous shell command. The
default is nobang, in which case a ! in a shell command line is not treated
specially.
cmd Contains a command, possibly with options. This specifies a default
command line to be used for the command-mode pipe subcommand. For
example:
mailx
