.se "Mail to Notesfiles"
|
|
|
|
Some mailers (like 4.2 BSD's \fIsendmail\fP)
|
|
allow mail to be directed to specific programs.
|
|
The nfmail program facilitates sending mail to notesfiles.
|
|
The subject line of the mailed letter is extracted and used as the
|
|
title of the note.
|
|
Nfmail extracts the author's name and system
|
|
from the body of the letter.
|
|
Subject lines are examined for ``Re:'' prefixes and, if they
|
|
exist, are used in an attempt to link the letter as a reply to
|
|
an existing base note.
|
|
|
|
To send mail addressed to ``somenotes''
|
|
to the notesfile ``somenotes'' with the 4.1 Bsd or later mail delivery
|
|
mechanism
|
|
add the following line to the file /usr/lib/aliases.
|
|
The second line shows the general format for /usr/lib/aliases entries
|
|
which feed a notesfile.
|
|
If the Notesfile utilities are stored in a different directory, the
|
|
path name should be changed appropriately.
