NAME
       showaudio - Play	an audio email message

SYNOPSIS
       showaudio  file-name(s)

DESCRIPTION
       The showaudio program will allow	a user on a properly-equipped worksta-
       tion  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	 docu-
       mented here since the functionality is not generally available.

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

BUGS
       Currently plays audio only on Sun & Sony	workstations.
