| Usually,
when someone sends you an e-mail it is a request for information.
Instead of crafting a new message from scratch to send to the originator,
you can just reply to the message.
Replying to a message
fills in the recipients' e-mail address and the subject, then sends
the original message as part of the reply. To accomplish this task,
use the r command
in interactive mode.
Command Format:
R
(this replies to the message
sender)
r (this
replies to the message sender and all other recipients of the message)
Example:
After you have read a
message you are presented with the & prompt:
Message 1:
From BobJ Wed Apr 26 15:23:02
2000
Date: Wed, 26 Apr 15:23:02
-0700
From: BobJ <BobJ@localhost.local>
To: root@localhost.local
Subject: Month End
The month end reports are
done.
&
To reply to this message
just enter r at the
& prompt and type your message:
&r
Good, thanks.
