1Mail is the single program in this directory.  Its argument specifies
2the mail box to read, default /mail/box/$user/mbox.
3For example, running
4	Mail /mail/box/$user/stored
5(a line in the guide file) looks at saved mail.
6
7Mail maintains a window containing headers for all the
8messages in the mailbox and monitors the mailbox for new messages.
9Using button 3 to indicate a message number opens
10a window on that message.   commands in the mailbox window are
11	Put		Write the mailbox back to the file (never done automatically)
12	Mail		Make a new message window ready to mail someone.
13			Takes argument names analogously to acme's New.
14	Del		Exit Mail, after checking that mailbox isn't modified.
15New messages appear at the top of the window and are highlighted upon arrival.
16(The messages are numbered oldest to newest, the opposite of regular mail.)
17
18Message windows have a simple format: the first line, up to the first tab or newline,
19holds the sender or, when sending, the addressee.  Edit the line to change who the
20message goes to.  Message windows contain the commands
21	Reply	Make a new window to compose a reply to this message
22	Delmesg	Delete the message from the screen and from the mailbox
23	Del		Delete the window, leaving the message in the mailbox
24	Post		Send the message to the addressee
25	Save		Save to the named mailbox, default/mail/box/$user/stored
26Save takes a full file name; if that name has no slashes, the file is taken
27to be in /mail/box/$user and must already exist. Use mkbox in the guide to
28create target mailboxes in /mail/box/$user.
29Reply and mail windows contain an obvious subset of the commands.
