answer - phone message transcription system
The program will use standard mail addresses or aliases included in the standard .elm directory alias files. It can also use its own alias set (usually a subset of the system aliases, with more fields per user (i.e. unique first names, unique last names, first-initial last name, and so on)). Note that if you want to use this capability, it means that you must create this alias set and then install it, using newalias, as a separate alias table for the account this program is to be run from.
Options are:
Interface-wise, the program is a breeze to use - type 'answer' to start it up and then merely type a user name at the
Message to:prompt, fill in the requested information (simply type an "x" next to the pertinent information - "TELEPHONED", "PLEASE CALL", "URGENT", etc. if the -p option was given), and then enter a message, if any, ending with a blank line. If you elect to use the special alias file, names can be entered as 'Firstname Lastname' and the system will try to find a mail alias based on the first letter of the first name plus the last name. For example, 'Dave Taylor' will cause the program to search for an alias 'd_taylor' in the file (note the transliteration into lower case). The program will loop until killed or quit.
Answer can be easily exited by typing any of 'quit', 'exit' 'done', or 'bye' at the 'Message to:' prompt.
