Library /sys$common/syshlp/MAILHELP.HLB  —  FORWARD  Qualifiers

1    /CC_PROMPT

       /CC_PROMPT
       /NOCC_PROMPT

    Enables the prompt for the CC: line in the mail header. At the
    CC: prompt, enter the names of other users to whom you want to
    send a copy of the mail message.

    The /NOCC_PROMPT qualifier disables the CC: prompt. The /CC_
    PROMPT and /NOCC_PROMPT qualifiers override the SET CC_PROMPT and
    SET NOCC_PROMPT commands.

2    /EDIT

    Invokes a text editor to edit the message you are forwarding.
    Unless you have selected a different editor, the TPU-based EVE
    editor is invoked.

3    /NOHEADER

    Enables you to forward a message without the original header
    information supplied by the user that sent it. The default is
    /HEADER.

4    /PERSONAL_NAME

       /PERSONAL_NAME=name
       /NOPERSONAL_NAME

    Specifies a personal name to be used when answering a message.
    A personal name is a field of text that is appended to the end
    of the From: field of mail messages you send. You can fill this
    field with your full name or any other information.

    The /PERSONAL NAME qualifier overrides the default personal name
    specified with the SET PERSONAL_NAME command for this message
    only. The /NOPERSONAL_NAME qualifier sends a message with a null
    personal name field.

5    /SELF

       /SELF
       /NOSELF

    Determines whether Mail sends a copy of the forwarded message
    to you. The default qualifier is /NOSELF unless you have used
    the SET COPY_SELF command to specify that copies be sent to you
    automatically. The /NOSELF qualifier overrides the SET COPY_SELF
    SEND command.

6    /SIGNATURE_FILE

       /SIGNATURE_FILE[=file-name]
       /NOSIGNATURE_FILE

    Specifies a file to be appended to the end of a mail message.
    The signature file contains text and has a default file type of
    .SIG. An example of a signature file is a text file formatted
    as business card, containing the user's company name, address,
    telephone, and Internet address.

    Specify the /SIGNATURE_FILE qualifier when you want to override
    the default established by the SET SIGNATURE_FILE command (if you
    want to send a signature file that is different from that default
    specification). If there is no default setting, specify the
    /SIGNATURE_FILE qualifier to interactively include a signature
    file with a particular mail message.

    To determine if the SET SIGNATURE_FILE command is in effect, use
    the SHOW SIGNATURE_FILE or SHOW ALL command.

    When you use the /SIGNATURE_FILE qualifier, note the following:

    o  When you create a mail message that includes a signature
       file, that message requires more temporary disk space than
       a conventional message because temporary files are created
       during the operation. After the message is sent, those
       temporary files are deleted.

    o  If you do not specify a directory, the Mail utility looks for
       the signature file in your mail directory.

    o  If you do not specify a file, the Mail utility uses the file
       specification in your user profile. If there is no default
       signature file in the profile, Mail will send the message
       without one.

    o  If a specified signature file does not exist, the system
       displays an error message.

    Specify the /NOSIGNATURE_FILE qualifier when you do not want
    to include a signature file with a particular mail message.
    Specifying this qualifier overrides the current setting,
    including any specifications in your user profile.

7    /SUBJECT

       /SUBJECT="subject-text"

    Prompts for the subject of the mail message to be sent. Use
    quotation marks (" ") around the subject heading to include more
    than one word, to print in lowercase letters, or to include any
    spaces or nonalphanumeric characters.
