NAME
dtmail - the CDE Mailer
SYNOPSIS
dtmail [ -ch ] [ -f [server:][mailfile] ] [ -l deadletter ]
[ -a file1 ... fileN ] [ -T address ]
DESCRIPTION
dtmail is the mail user agent (MUA) for CDE. It provides an
intuitive, easy-to-use GUI for reading, sending, and manag-
ing electronic mail. dtmail supports both MIME and Sun Mail
Tool message formats for reading and sending messages. In
addition to local and NFS mailboxes, it also supports the
use of IMAP4 for accessing remote mailboxes. dtmail pro-
vides a mail-pervasive desktop environment by supporting the
Mail(4) and Display(4) Media Exchange messages. Other
applications can compose, send, and display electronic mail
messages using the ToolTalk API and these Media Exchange
messages.
OPTIONS
-a file1 ... fileN
Open a Compose window with file1 through fileN as
attachments.
-c Open a new Compose window.
-f [server:][filename]
Specify the mail file to be loaded in at start up time.
Ordinarily, the mail file pointed to by the environment
variable MAIL is read in as the user's inbox. Use of
the -f option overrides the use of the MAIL variable.
The optional server argument specifies the host name of
an IMAP server to use. If only server: is specified,
the Inbox on that IMAP server is opened (if it exists).
-h Display help for command-line options.
-l deadletter
Open a Compose window with the deadletter file loaded.
-T address
Open a Compose window with address in the To field.
FEATURES
IMAP4
dtmail supports the use of IMAP4 for accessing remote mail-
boxes. The use of this feature requires that an IMAP4
server be installed on the machine that manages your
mailboxes. You can configure the IMAP-related items in the
Basic and Move Menu Setup dialog boxes opened from the
Options menu.
Search
dtmail provides a search facility that allows you to create
your own complex queries as well as providing a GUI for sim-
ple searches. dtmail's advanced search facility supports
the following case-insensitive keywords:
o Header-related keywords: to, from, subject, cc, bcc,
text, body, header
o Date-related keywords: before, since, on, during,
today, yesterday, lastweek, thismonth, lastmonth
o Message State-related keywords: read, unread
o Logic operators: and, or, ~ (not), (, )
The following are examples of advanced searches:
- from kelly@tiger and subject "hi there" and during
lastweek
- (to gary or to tigerteam ) and ~ (to boss@tiger or cc
boss@tiger )
Nested parentheses are not allowed.
You can save your searches for use as a view via the Search
dialog box.
Signals
SIGUSR1 - Sending this signal to dtmail causes all mailboxes
to be closed. dtmail will exit if there are no compose win-
dows opened. This signal is also used by the Solstice Inter-
net Mail Server to inform a mail client to release control
of the mailbox.
SIGUSR2 - Sending this signal to dtmail causes all non-Inbox
mailboxes to be closed. This signal is also used by the
Solstice Internet Mail Server to inform a mail client to
release control of a non-Inbox mailbox.
Toolbar
You can customize the toolbar on the main mailbox window in
several ways:
o add or remove commands
o label buttons using either text or icon images
Configuring the toolbar is done via the Toolbar dialog
box opened from the Options menu.
If tooltip display is enabled then a tooltip label is
associated with each toolbar button. A tooltip label
describes the functionality of a button in a few words.
If tooltip display is disabled then the associated infor-
mation that would have been displayed via a tooltip label
is displayed in the status area.
ToolTalk
dtmail's ToolTalk interface enables other applications to
compose, send, and display email. dtmail supports the
Mail(4) and Display(4) Media Exchange messages. Other
applications can use these two types of requests to:
o Display a single message or a collection of messages
by using a Tttk_op value of TTME_DISPLAY and a media
type of RFC_822_MESSAGE.
o Open a Compose window with the supplied message data
loaded into the appropriate fields. This is done by
using a Tttk_op value of TTME_MAIL_EDIT and a media
type of RFC_822_MESSAGE.
o Open a Compose window with the supplied data loaded as
an attachment. This is done by using a Tttk_op value
of TTME_MAIL_EDIT and a media type of MAIL_TYPE.
o Open a new Compose window. This is done by using a
Tttk_op value of TTME_MAIL_COMPOSE and a media type of
RFC_822_MESSAGE.
o Send a message without using the GUI. This is done by
using a Tttk_op value of TTME_MAIL and a media type of
RFC_822_MESSAGE.
See the man page for ttmedia_load(3), Mail(4), and
Display(4) for more information on how to use ToolTalk
and the Media Exchange requests.
Vacation
You use the vacation facility to create a message that is
automatically sent to anyone who sends you email during a
period of time that you specify; for example, while you are
on vacation. You can set the start and end dates as well as
the reply interval for those who send you multiple messages
while you are away. Set up your vacation message in the
Vacation Message dialog box opened from the Options menu.
Views
You use the Views facility to display only those messages
that match certain criteria. Define the matching criteria
via the Search dialog box. You then create a view by naming
the the search criteria and saving it. The search criteria
is saved in the views variable in your $HOME/.mailrc file.
These views can be applied to any of your mailboxes.
dtmail provides two default views: all messages and new mes-
sages.

MAIL VARIABLES
dtmail recognizes the following mailx(1) commands and
variables: unset, alias, group, set, ignore, source, else,
endif, alternates, keep, allnet, and metoo. See the mailx(1)

to set this variable. For more information on pro-
ducing core files please see the man page on
