#Mail options
#
#Options are controlled via set and unset commands. Options may be either
#binary, in which case it is only significant to see whether they are set or
#not; or string, in which case the actual value is of interest. The binary
#options include the following:

#append
#    Causes messages saved in mbox to be appended to the end rather than
#    prepended. This should always be set (perhaps in /etc/mail.rc).
set append

#ask, asksub
#    Causes mail to prompt you for the subject of each message you send. If you
#    respond with simply a newline, no subject field will be sent.
set ask, asksub

#askbcc
#    Causes you to be prompted for additional blind carbon copy recipients at
#    the end of each message. Responding with a newline indicates your
#    satisfaction with the current list.

#askcc
#    Causes you to be prompted for additional carbon copy recipients at the end
#    of each message. Responding with a newline indicates your satisfaction with
#    the current list.

#autoinc
#    Causes new mail to be automatically incorporated when it arrives. Setting
#    this is similar to issuing the inc command at each prompt, except that the
#    current message is not reset when new mail arrives.

#autoprint
#    Causes the delete command to behave like dp; thus, after deleting a
#    message, the next one will be typed automatically.

#debug
#    Setting the binary option debug is the same as specifying -d on the command
#    line and causes mail to output all sorts of information useful for
#    debugging mail.

#dot
#    The binary option dot causes mail to interpret a period alone on a line as
#    the terminator of a message you are sending.
set dot

#expandaddr
#    Causes mail to expand message recipient addresses, as explained in the
#    section Recipient address specifications.

#from
#    Causes mail to use the specified sender address in the “From:” field of the
#    message header. A stripped down version of the address is also used in the
#    message envelope. If unset, the message will not include an explicit sender
#    address and a default value will be added by the MTA, typically
#    “user@host”. This value can be overridden by specifying the -r flag on the
#    command line.

#hold
#    This option is used to hold messages in the system mailbox by default.

#ignore
#    Causes interrupt signals from your terminal to be ignored and echoed as
#    @'s.
ignore message-id received date fcc status resent-date resent-message-id resent-from in-reply-to

#ignoreeof
#    An option related to dot is ignoreeof which makes mail refuse to accept a
#    control-D as the end of a message. ignoreeof also applies to mail command
#    mode.

#keep
#    Setting this option causes mail to truncate your system mailbox instead of
#    deleting it when it's empty.

#keepsave
#    Messages saved with the save command are not normally saved in mbox at quit
#    time. Use this option to retain those messages.

#metoo
#    Usually, when a group is expanded that contains the sender, the sender is
#    removed from the expansion. Setting this option causes the sender to be
#    included in the group.

#noheader
#    Setting the option noheader is the same as giving the -N flag on the
#    command line.

#nosave
#    Normally, when you abort a message with two interrupt characters (usually
#    control-C), mail copies the partial letter to the file dead.letter in your
#    home directory. Setting the binary option nosave prevents this.
set nosave

#quiet
#    Suppresses the printing of the version when first invoked.

#Replyall
#    Reverses the sense of reply and Reply commands.

#searchheaders
#    If this option is set, then a message-list specifier in the form “/x:y”
#    will expand to all messages containing the substring ‘y’ in the header
#    field ‘x’. The string search is case insensitive. If ‘x’ is omitted, it
#    will default to the “Subject” header field. The form “/to:y” is a special
#    case, and will expand to all messages containing the substring ‘y’ in the
#    “To”, “Cc” or “Bcc” header fields. The check for “to” is case sensitive, so
#    that “/To:y” can be used to limit the search for ‘y’ to just the “To:”
#    field.

#skipempty
#    Don't send messages with an empty body.
set skipempty

#verbose
#    Setting the option verbose is the same as using the -v flag on the command
#    line. When mail runs in verbose mode, the actual delivery of messages is
#    displayed on the user's terminal.

#Option string values
#

#EDITOR
#    Pathname of the text editor to use in the edit command and ~e escape. If
#    not defined, /usr/bin/ex is used.

#LISTER
#    Pathname of the directory lister to use in the folders command. Default is
#    /bin/ls.

#MBOX
#    The name of the mbox file. It can be the name of a folder. The default is
#    “mbox” in the user's home directory.

#PAGER
#    Pathname of the program to use in the more command or when the crt variable
#    is set. The default paginator more(1) is used if this option is not
#    defined.
set PAGER=less

#SHELL
#    Pathname of the shell to use in the ! command and the ~! escape. A default
#    shell is used if this option is not defined.

#TMPDIR
#    Directory in which temporary files are stored.

#VISUAL
#    Pathname of the text editor to use in the visual command and ~v escape. If
#    not defined, /usr/bin/vi is used.

#crt
#    The valued option crt is used as a threshold to determine how long a
#    message must be before PAGER is used to read it. If crt is set without a
#    value, then the height of the terminal screen stored in the system is used
#    to compute the threshold (see stty(1)).
set crt

#escape
#    If defined, the first character of this option gives the character to use
#    in the place of ~ to denote escapes.

#folder
#    The name of the directory to use for storing folders of messages. If this
#    name begins with a ‘/’, mail considers it to be an absolute pathname;
#    otherwise, the folder directory is found relative to your home directory.


#indentprefix
#    String used by the ~m tilde escape for indenting messages, in place of the
#    normal tab character (‘^I’). Be sure to quote the value if it contains
#    spaces or tabs.

#record
#    If defined, gives the pathname of the file used to record all outgoing
#    mail. If not defined, then outgoing mail is not so saved.

#screen
#    Size of window of message headers for z.

#sendmail
#    Pathname to an alternative mail delivery system.
#set sendmail=/usr/local/bin/msmtp

#toplines
#    If defined, gives the number of lines of a message to be printed out with
#    the top command; normally, the first five lines are printed.
