mail2sms(5)		       File Formats Manual		     mail2sms(5)

NAME
     mail2sms - reads a (MIME) mail and converts it to a short message.

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/local/etc/mail2sms.conf
     ~/.mail2sms

DESCRIPTION
     mail2sms  offers  search and replace, conditional rules, conditional search
     and replace etc to create a custom output. It can optionally pipe its  out-
     put into a specified program.

     All  this is controlled with the config file, which this man page intend to
     describe.

     The config file contains a series of control commands.  Each entry has  the
     form:

	    keyword   [ : value ]

     keyword		 This is the command that sets or control a certain item
			 or the flow of the config file starting from here.

     value		 This  parameter  depends on the command. It may also be
			 left out depending on the command.

     Values are either written plainly and whitespaces left  and  right  of  the
     words  are cut off, or within quotes (").	If the value is quoted, you must
     escape quotes to be able to have them in the string, as in: " \" ".

     Fields should be separated by any number of SPACE and/or TAB characters and
     a colon (:).

     The available commands are of a few different kinds, and therefore this de-
     scription has a few different sections that describe the commands	in  each
     section.

     A	`#' (number sign) indicates the beginning of a comment; characters up to
     the end of the line are not interpreted by routines which parses the file.

     Basically, there are two kinds of keywords. The first is the one  read  and
     dealt  with in real-time when read, they may also build strings that define
     output format, command to run etc.. The other type  is  the  keywords  that
     build a tree of regular expressions with accompanying actions. It is impor-
     tant to understand the difference.

General Keywords
     Left to write. See the README for now.

FILES
     /etc/aliases	 Takes	care  of sendmail aliases and is a good place to
			 automatically run mail2sms from.
