RCVTTY(1) General Commands Manual RCVTTY(1) NAME rcvtty - report new mail with nmh SYNOPSIS /usr/local/libexec/nmh/rcvtty [-help] [-version] [command] [-form for- matfile] [-format string] [-width columns] [-bell | -nobell] [-newline | -nonewline] [-biff] DESCRIPTION The rcvtty command can be used to report new mail. It is used primar- ily in conjunction with mail filtering agents such as slocal or proc- mail. rcvtty executes the named command with the message as its standard in- put, and writes the resulting output on your terminal. Alternatively, if no command is specified (or the command is bogus), then rcvtty will instead write a one-line scan listing. The default output format of this scan listing may be overridden by using either the -form formatfile or -format string option, similar to the equiva- lent options for scan and inc. See mh-format(5) for details. A newline is output before the message output, and the terminal bell is rung after the output. The -nonewline and -nobell switches will in- hibit these functions. The switch -width columns may be given to specify the width of the scan line. The default is to use the width of the terminal. In addition to the standard format escapes described in mh-format(5), rcvtty also recognizes the following additional component escapes: Escape Returns Description body string the (compressed) first part of the body dtimenow date the current date folder string the name of the current folder By default, rcvtty will send its output to every terminal on the local machine that is owned by current user, and that has given write permis- sion as granted by the command mesg(1). If the option -biff is given, then rcvtty will obey the notification status set by the command biff(1) instead.
