| 29 | .SH DESCRIPTION |
|---|
| 30 | The |
|---|
| 31 | .I from |
|---|
| 32 | program prints out the mail header lines in your incoming mail |
|---|
| 33 | to show you who your mail is from. It does this by looking for mail |
|---|
| 34 | in the local spool directory and then checking for mail marked as |
|---|
| 35 | unseen on the post office server. This command does not retrieve the |
|---|
| 36 | mail from the post office or the spool directory. |
|---|
| 37 | |
|---|
| 38 | If no mail is waiting, |
|---|
| 39 | .I from |
|---|
| 40 | is silent unless one of |
|---|
| 41 | .BR -v ", " -r ", or " -t |
|---|
| 42 | is used, in which case it prints "You don't have any mail waiting." |
|---|
| 43 | If the |
|---|
| 44 | .B -n |
|---|
| 45 | option is used, |
|---|
| 46 | .I from |
|---|
| 47 | is always silent if there is no mail. |
|---|
| 48 | |
|---|
| 49 | .I from |
|---|
| 50 | understands the following options: |
|---|
| 51 | .TP |
|---|
| 52 | .B \-s \fIsender\fR |
|---|
| 53 | specifies that only headers for mail from |
|---|
| 54 | .I sender |
|---|
| 55 | are printed. |
|---|
| 56 | .TP |
|---|
| 57 | .B \-h \fIhost\fR |
|---|
| 58 | specifies that |
|---|

|---|
| 60 | should be consulted instead of your default post office server. |
|---|
| 61 | .TP |
|---|
| 62 | .B \-m \fImailbox\fR |
|---|
| 63 | specifies that the IMAP folder named |
|---|
| 64 | .I mailbox |
|---|
| 65 | should be checked. For example, to check your MIT spam screening folder, |
|---|
| 66 | specify \fI-m INBOX.Spamscreen\fR. If this option is not specified, |
|---|
| 67 | .I from |
|---|
| 68 | checks the INBOX folder. |
|---|
| 69 | .TP |
|---|
| 70 | .B \-A |
|---|
| 71 | specifies that all messages in the IMAP mailbox should be checked, |
|---|
| 72 | instead of only unseen messages. |
|---|
| 73 | .TP |
|---|
| 74 | .B \-N |
|---|
| 75 | specifies that only messages marked as new in the IMAP mailbox should |
|---|
| 76 | be checked, instead of unseen messages. |
|---|
| 77 | .TP |
|---|
| 78 | .B \-v |
|---|
| 79 | specifies that any To, Date, or Subject fields should be displayed |
|---|
| 80 | also, as well as a banner line list the number of messages waiting. |
|---|
| 81 | .TP |
|---|
| 82 | .B \-r |
|---|
| 83 | specifies that the From and Subject fields should be listed both on |
|---|
| 84 | the same line. If multiple subject fields occur in the message only |
|---|
| 85 | the first one encounter will be listed. |
|---|
| 86 | .TP |
|---|
| 87 | .B \-t |
|---|
| 88 | specifies that only the total number of messages waiting should be |
|---|
| 89 | printed. |
|---|
| 90 | .TP |
|---|
| 91 | .B \-d |
|---|
| 92 | specifies that |
|---|
| 93 | .I from |
|---|
| 94 | should run in debug mode. |
|---|
| 95 | .TP |
|---|
| 96 | .B \-u |
|---|
| 97 | specifies that only the local mail drop should be checked. |
|---|

|---|
| 99 | .B \-p |
|---|
| 100 | specifies that only the post office server should be checked. |

|---|
| 104 | occurs. |
|---|
| 105 | .TP |

|---|
| 107 | specifies that mail for |

|---|
| 109 | should be checked, rather than the current user. |
