NAME
     showaudio - Play an audio email message

SYNOPSIS
     showaudio	file-name(s)

DESCRIPTION
     The  showaudio program will allow a user on a properly-equipped workstation
     to listen to an audio message.  It is intended to be  called  from  mailcap
     files, typically by the metamail(1) program.

     At  most  sites, it will work by playing audio on the speaker of the user's
     computer.	When used in conjunction with special hardware and software  not
     part  of  the metamail distribution, however, it can also deliver the audio
     information by telephone number.  There are various  options  to  showaudio
     that support this feature, but they are not documented here since the func-
     tionality is not generally available.

SEE ALSO
     audiocompose(1), audiosend(1), metamail(1)

BUGS
     Currently plays audio only on Sun & Sony workstations.
