Qualifiers

 

/ABORT
   By default, if an error occurs while processing an input message
   file or recipient address, PMDF SEND will ask the user whether
   or not to send the message anyhow. If the /ABORT qualifier is
   specified, then PMDF SEND will merely exit (with an error) when a
   problem occurs during file or address processing.

   The /ABORT and /IGNORE qualifiers are mutually exclusive - only
   one or the other may be used.

   The /ABORT qualifier has no effect on interactive PMDF MAIL
   sessions.
 

/BCC_LIST
      /BCC_LIST=address[,...]
      /CC_LIST=address[,...]
      /TO_LIST=address[,...]

   Specify one or more To:, Cc:, or Bcc: recipient addresses. When
   specifying more than one addressee of a given type (To:, Cc:, or
   Bcc:), enclose the addresses in parentheses as in

            /TO_LIST=("sue@example.com","bob@example.com")

   The /BCC_LIST, /CC_LIST, and /TO_LIST qualifiers have no effect
   on interactive PMDF MAIL sessions.
 

/BCC_PROMPT
      /BCC_PROMPT
      /CC_PROMPT
      /TO_PROMPT

   Request to be prompted for To:, Cc:, or Bcc: recipient addresses.
   By default you are only prompted once for each selected type
   (To:, Cc:, or Bcc:). If /MULTIPLE has also been specified, then
   for each selected type you will be prompted repeatedly until a
   blank line is entered.

   The /BCC_PROMPT, /CC_PROMPT, and /TO_PROMPT qualifiers have no
   effect on interactive PMDF MAIL sessions.
 

/CAPTIVE
   When /CAPTIVE is specified, PMDF MAIL will treat the user as
   though they were a captive user and not allow them to perform
   operations such as spawning.
 

/COMMENTS
      /COMMENTS=comments

   This qualifier may be used to specify the contents of the
   Comments: header line. If this qualifier is not specified and the
   PMDF_COMMENTS logical is not defined, then no Comments: header
   line will be generated.

   The /COMMENTS qualifier has no effect on interactive PMDF MAIL
   sessions.
 

/BLOCK
      /BLOCK
      /RECORD
      /TEXT

   Specify the file access mode to use when processing the files to
   send. The default depends upon the file extension.

   The /BLOCK, /RECORD, and /TEXT qualifiers have no effect on
   interactive PMDF MAIL sessions.
 

/CONFIRM
      /CONFIRM[=keyword[,...]]

   Specifies for interactive PMDF MAIL sessions, which operations
   should be confirmed prior to actually taking. By default,
   /CONFIRM=NONE is assumed. The accepted keyword values are
 

ADDRESS

   Confirm each recipient address.
 

ALL

   Confirm all actions when sending, extracting, forwarding, or
   replying to messages.
 

DIGEST

   Confirm each digest element when creating a message digest.
 

EXTRACT

   Confirm when extracting a message.
 

FORWARD

   Confirm when forwarding a message.
 

NONE

   Never request confirmation except when the /CONFIRM qualifier is
   used with an interactive command.
 

PRINT

   Confirm when printing a message.
 

REPLY

   Confirm when replying to a message.
 

RESEND

   Confirm when resending a message.
 

SEND

   Confirm when sending a message.

   If /CONFIRM is specified without any keyword values, then
   /CONFIRM=ALL is assumed.
 

/ENCODING
      /ENCODING=encoding

   Specify the encoding method to use to encode an input message
   file. Typically, no encoding is used; however, this depends
   upon the file type as determined from the file extension. The
   available encoding methods are 7BIT, 8BIT, BASE32, BASE64,
   BINHEX, BTOA, COMPRESSED-BASE64, BASE85, HEXADECIMAL, PATHWORKS,
   QUOTED_PRINTABLE, UUENCODE, and COMPRESSED-UUENCODE.
 

/EDIT
      /EDIT[=keyword[,...]]

   Specifies for interactive PMDF MAIL sessions, which commands
   implicitly invoke the editor. The accepted keyword values are
 

ALL

   Always invoke the editor in conjunction with all commands that
   accept the /EDIT qualifier.
 

COMMAND_LINE

   In conjunction with /EDIT=SEND, invoke the editor even when
   sending a file or message from the DCL command line.
 

DIRECTORY

   Always invoke the editor to display DIRECTORY and
   DIRECTORY/FOLDER listings.
 

FORWARD

   Always invoke the editor to edit messages being forwarded with
   the FORWARD command.
 

HEADER

   By default the message's header is always displayed in the
   editor. To inhibit this, specify /EDIT=NOHEADER.
 

KEPT[=editor-process-name]

   Initially invoke the editor as a subprocess; re-attach to the
   subprocess for subsequent editor operations.
 

NONE

   Never invoke the editor unless explicitly requested to do so with
   the /EDIT qualifier.
 

READ

   Always invoke the editor to display messages being read with the
   READ, CURRENT, BACK, NEXT, FIRST, and LAST commands.
 

REPLY[=EXTRACT[=quote]]

   Always invoke the editor to edit messages being replied to with
   the ANSWER or REPLY commands. If the optional EXTRACT keyword
   is specified, then the content of the message being replied to
   will be included in the reply. To specify a text string to use
   to quote each line of the extracted message text, specify a value
   for the EXTRACT keyword. For instance, to quote each line with
   the two characters "> ", invoke PMDF MAIL with the command

   $ PMDF MAIL/EDIT=REPLY=EXTRACT="> "
 

SEND

   Always invoke the editor to compose messages being sent with the
   MAIL or SEND commands.

   If /EDIT is specified without any keyword values, then
   /EDIT=(SEND,REPLY) is assumed.
 

/ENCAPSULATE
      /ENCAPSULATE[=keyword[,...]]
      /NOENCAPSULATE[=keyword[,...]]

   For interactive PMDF MAIL sessions, specifies file encapsulation
   defaults for the FORWARD, SEND, and REPLY commands as well as the
   synonymous commands MAIL and ANSWER. The accepted keyword values
   are FORWARD, SEND, REPLY, ALL, and NONE.

   The /ENCAPSULATE qualifier specifies which commands should
   by default encapsulate files as separate attachments; the
   /NOENCAPSULATE qualifier specifies which commands should not
   by default encapsulate files as separate message attachments.
   Specifying /ENCAPSULATE without any qualifiers implies
   /ENCAPSULATE=ALL, and specifying /NOENCAPSULATE without any
   qualifiers implies /ENCAPSULATE=NONE.
 

/ENTIRE
      /ENTIRE[=keyword[,...]]
      /MESSAGE[=keyword[,...]]
      /PART[=keyword[,...]]

   For interactive PMDF MAIL sessions, specifies message content
   scope for EXTRACT, FORWARD, PRINT, and REPLY commands. The
   accepted keyword values are EXTRACT, FORWARD, PRINT, REPLY, ALL,
   and NONE.

   The /ENTIRE qualifier specifies which commands by default act
   upon the entire message. The /MESSAGE qualifier specifies
   which commands by default act upon only the current portion of
   the message which constitutes an entire message. (Note that a
   message may contain one or more messages as subparts.) The /PART
   qualifier specifies which commands by default act upon only the
   current message body part.

   Specifying /ENTIRE without any qualifiers implies /ENTIRE=ALL;
   specifying /MESSAGE without any qualifiers implies /MESSAGE=ALL;
   and specifying /PART without any qualifiers implies /PART=ALL.
 

/FILENAME
      /FILENAME
      /NOFILENAME (default)

   The /FILENAME qualifier specifies that the original file name
   should be included in the message headers.
 

/FILTER_CTRL
      /FILTER_CTRL
      /NOFILTER_CTRL (default)

   For interactive PMDF MAIL sessions, specifying /FILTER_CTRL turns
   on the filtering out of 7-bit and 8-bit control characters in
   messages. Messages which contain such control characters can
   cause problems with the terminal when they are displayed. When
   /FILTER_CTRL is specified, such a character is displayed as its
   hexidecimal value in the format "=XX".
 

/FROM
      /FROM=address

   This qualifier may be used to specify the contents of the From:
   header line. If this qualifier is not specified and the PMDF_
   FROM logical is not defined, then a From: header line will be
   constructed from the username of the user invoking PMDF MAIL
   and the local host name. Note that even if a From: address is
   provided, the invoking user's address will appear in a Sender:
   header line.

   The /FROM qualifier has no effect on interactive PMDF MAIL
   sessions.
 

/IGNORE
   By default, if an error occurs while processing an input message
   file or recipient address, PMDF MAIL will ask the user whether
   or not to send the message anyhow. If the /IGNORE qualifier is
   specified, then PMDF MAIL will not ask the user whether or not
   to send the message-it will send the good input files to the good
   recipient addresses.

   The /ABORT and /IGNORE qualifiers are mutually exclusive - only
   one or the other may be used.

   The /IGNORE qualifier has no effect on interactive PMDF MAIL
   sessions.
 

/LIST
      /LIST (default)
      /NOLIST

   When specified, /NOLIST becomes the default for the ANSWER and
   REPLY commands.
 

/MESSAGE
      /MESSAGE (default)

   See /ENTIRE.
 

/MULTIPLE
      /MULTIPLE
      /SINGLE (default)

   Normally, only a single prompt is made for each type of address
   selected with the /TO_PROMPT, /CC_PROMPT, and /BCC_PROMPT
   qualifiers. When /MULTIPLE is specified, these prompts will be
   repeated for each selected address type until a blank line is
   entered.

   The /MULTIPLE and /SINGLE qualifiers have no effect on
   interactive PMDF MAIL sessions.
 

/PART
   See /ENTIRE.
 

/PERSONAL_NAME
      /PERSONAL_NAME=name
      /NOPERSONAL_NAME

   Specify a personal name field to use in conjunction with your
   return address. Any value specified will override your SET
   PERSONAL_NAME profile setting. If /NOPERSONAL_NAME is specified,
   then no personal name field will appear in the return address.

   The /PERSONAL_NAME qualifier has no effect on interactive PMDF
   MAIL sessions.
 

/PREVALIDATE
      /PREVALIDATE
      /NOPREVALIDATE (default)

   Prevalidate recipient addresses prior to invoking the editor
   to compose a message. If any illegal addresses are detected,
   PMDF MAIL will ask whether to cancel the operation or to proceed
   anyway. If told to proceed, both the good and bad addresses will
   appear in the editor where they may be modified as necessary.
   Validation will, of course, still be performed after the editor
   is exited.
 

/PRIORITY
      /PRIORITY=priority

   This qualifier may be used to specify the contents of the
   Priority: header line. If this qualifier is not specified, then
   no Priority: header line will be generated.

   The /PRIORITY qualifier has no effect on interactive PMDF MAIL
   sessions.
 

/REMOVE
      /REMOVE[=keyword[,...]]
      /NOREMOVE[=keyword[,...]]

   For interactive PMDF MAIL sessions, specifies /REMOVE or
   /NOREMOVE defaults for the FORWARD, REPLY, RESEND, and SEND
   commands. The accepted keyword values are FORWARD, REPLY, RESEND,
   SEND, ALL, and NONE.

   The /REMOVE qualifier specifies which commands by default assume
   /REMOVE. The /NOREMOVE qualifier specifies which commands
   by default assume /NOREMOVE. Specifying /REMOVE without any
   qualifiers implies /REMOVE=ALL while specifying /NOREMOVE without
   any qualifiers implies /NOREMOVE=ALL.
 

/REPEATED
      /REPEATED (default)
      /NOREPEATED

   Specify /REPEATED to imply /REPEATED for all REPLY/ALL commands;
   specify /NOREPEATED to imply /NOREPEATED for all REPLY/ALL
   commands.
 

/REPLY_TO
      /REPLY_TO=address

   This qualifier may be used to specify the contents of the Reply-
   to: header line. If this qualifier is not specified and the PMDF_
   REPLY_TO logical is not defined, then no Reply-to: header line
   will be generated.

   The /REPLY_TO qualifier has no effect on interactive PMDF MAIL
   sessions.
 

/SCAN_COMMANDS
      /SCAN_COMMANDS (default)
      /NOSCAN_COMMANDS

   By default, the command line is scanned for errors as it is
   entered and errors are signalled immediately. Specify /NOSCAN_
   COMMANDS to have errors only signalled after the entire command
   has been entered and the RETURN key pressed.
 

/SELF
      /SELF[=keyword[,...]]
      /NOSELF[=keyword[,...]]

   For interactive PMDF MAIL sessions, specifies for which types
   of message sending operations you will automatically receive
   copies of messages you originate. The accepted keyword values are
   FORWARD, REPLY, RESEND, SEND, ALL, and NONE.

   The /SELF qualifier specifies for which types of operations you
   will receive a copy of messages sent. The /NOSELF qualifier
   specifies for which operation types you will not receive a
   message copy. Specifying /SELF without any qualifiers implies
   /SELF=ALL while specifying /NOSELF without any qualifiers implies
   /NOSELF=ALL.

   Any settings made with the /SELF and /NOSELF qualifiers will be
   overridden by any positive SET COPY_SELF profile settings.
 

/SENSITIVITY
      /SENSITIVITY=sensitivity

   This qualifier may be used to specify the contents of the
   Sensitivity: header line. If this qualifier is not specified and
   the PMDF_SENSITIVITY logical is not defined, then no Sensitivity:
   header line will be generated.

   The /SENSITIVITY qualifier has no effect on interactive PMDF MAIL
   sessions.
 

/SIGNATURE
      /SIGNATURE=signature-line
      /SIGNATURE="@file-spec"
      /NOSIGNATURE

   Specify a signature line or file to append to the end of the
   message being sent. If /NOSIGNATURE is specified, then no
   signature will be appended.

   The /SIGNATURE qualifier has no effect on interactive PMDF MAIL
   sessions.
 

/SSA
      /SSA
      /NOSSA (default)

   Show aliases in the system alias database as well as in your
   personal alias database. Non-privileged users will have read-only
   access to the system alias database.
 

/SSUBADDRESS
      /SSUBADDRESS=subaddress

   Specify a subaddress to attach to your address in message copies
   sent to you via the COPY_SELF mechanism.
 

/SUBADDRESS
      /SUBADDRESS=subaddress

   Specify a subaddress to attach to the envelope From: address;
   e.g., if the envelope From: address is prospero@example.com then
   specifying /SUBADDRESS="Postmaster" would result in the envelope
   From: address prospero+Postmaster@example.com.

   The /SUBADDRESS qualifier has no effect on interactive PMDF MAIL
   sessions.
 

/SUBJECT
      /SUBJECT=subject

   Specify the contents of the Subject: header line. If this
   qualifier is not specified, then no Subject: header line will
   be generated. If it is specified, but no value given, then the
   user will be prompted for a value.

   The /SUBJECT qualifier has no effect on interactive PMDF MAIL
   sessions.
 

/TOC
      /TOC (default)
      /NOTOC

   Show a table of contents for each displayed multipart message.
   The table of contents is not actually part of the message.
 

/TRIM
      /TRIM[=keyword[,...]]
      /NOTRIM[=keyword[,...]]

   For interactive PMDF MAIL sessions, specifies for which
   operations header lines will automatically be trimmed or left
   intact. The accepted keyword values are EXTRACT, FORWARD, PRINT,
   REPLY, RESEND, SEND, ALL, and NONE.

   The /TRIM qualifier specifies which commands by default assume
   /TRIM; the /NOTRIM qualifier specifies which commands by default
   assume /NOTRIM. Specifying /TRIM without any qualifiers implies
   /TRIM=ALL while specifying /NOTRIM without any qualifiers implies
   /NOTRIM=ALL.
 

/USER
      /USER=username

   Specify the local username to use in the message sender's address
   (this will be the From: address if no other From: address is
   given and the Sender: address otherwise. You must either have
   WORLD privilege or hold the PMDF_WORLD or PMDF_WORLD_username
   rightslist identifier in order to use this qualifier and specify
   a username other than your own. The special case of a blank
   string will not insert any Sender: information.

   The /USER qualifier has no effect on interactive PMDF MAIL
   sessions.
