Library /sys$common/syshlp/MAILHELP.HLB  —  READ  Qualifiers

1    /BEFORE

       /BEFORE=date

    Selects all the mail messages received before the specified
    date. If you do not specify a date, Mail selects all of the
    mail messages received before the current day (today). You can
    also specify the keywords YESTERDAY and TODAY. For example, the
    command READ/BEFORE=YESTERDAY would select all mail messages
    received before yesterday.

2    /CC_SUBSTRING

       /CC_SUBSTRING=text

    Selects messages containing the specified text in the CC: field
    of the message, where the specified text is usually a node name
    or user name.

3    /EDIT

    Invokes a text editor. Unless you have selected a different
    editor by entering the SET EDITOR command, the TPU-based EVE
    editor is invoked. Use your editor to peruse the current message.
    When you are done, enter the appropriate command to quit from
    your selected editor. If you decide to edit the message and want
    to keep a copy of the newly edited message, enter the appropriate
    command to exit (use the EXIT command in EVE) and supply a file
    name.

4    /FROM_SUBSTRING

       /FROM_SUBSTRING=text

    Selects messages containing the specified text in the From: field
    of the message, where the specified text is usually a node name
    or user name. This command searches only the node name and user
    name of the sender; it does not search the personal name field.

5    /MARKED

       /MARKED
       /NOMARKED

    Selects messages that have been marked. The /NOMARKED qualifier
    selects messages that are not marked.

6    /NEW

    Selects the NEWMAIL folder and displays new mail messages
    received while you are in Mail. If there are no new messages,
    Mail displays the message "%MAIL-W-NONEWMAIL, no new messages".
    When a mail file other than your default mail file is open, Mail
    closes the file and opens your default mail file.

    SAVE[=n]       Enables screen navigation of information, where n
                   is the number of pages to store.
