NAME
frm - Lists sender and subject of all messages in mailbox or file
SYNOPSIS
frm [-nv] [folder|mailbox]
FLAGS
-n Numbers the headers of each message.
-v Displays the total number of messages in the folder.
DESCRIPTION
The frm command with no flags displays one line per message in the current
user's mailbox. This line has the following format:
from subject
Folders can be specified with the notation used with the Elm mailer. The
notation to specify a folder is =foldername. If a folder is specified,
the command reads that folder rather than the default mailbox. If the
argument is a username, the command reads the specified user's mailbox.
(The user is able to list another's user's mailbox only if the permissions
are set to allow this.)
EXAMPLES
1. To list the sender and subject of each of the messages contained in
the folder bill, enter this command:
frm =bill
2. To list and number the messages in the mailbox of user joe, enter this
command:
frm -n joe
This command will work only if the mailbox of joe has its permissions
set to allow other users to list the contents of the mailbox.
DIAGNOSTICS
If the user specifies a folder which does not exist, the message
``Couldn't open folder foldername'' is displayed.
