elm-2.5.6: description + notes
Elm is an interactive screen-oriented mailer program that
supersedes mail and mailx.
There are three main ways to use the elm mailer. One way to
use the mailer is to specify a list of addresses on the
command line when the mailer is invoked. This will allow
sending of a single message to the specified recipients with
all the options usually available in the elm system itself.
The second way, used most commonly when transmitting files
and such, is to specify the subject of the message and the
recipients using the command line and redirect a file as
standard input.
The third way, elm is invoked with neither subject nor
addresses specified on the command line and without standard
input redirected. You can then read any messages in your
incoming mailbox (or specified folder), reply to messages in
the mailbox, mail messages, etc.
Although there is no official elm home page, you can find
more information on-line at
