08.07 Can I use my mailer to send mail?


Date: Thu, 1 Dec 1994 00:00:00 -0800

  Yes.  See the variables mail-script, mailer, and mailer-pipe-input.
  The following show how you can have nn use elm and MH to deliver
  mail.  Note that you are not placed "in" your mailer--the mailer is
  merely used to deliver a message that you've already completed.
  
  The original idea of using MH (namely, comp) to send mail from nn
  came from Jaap Vermeulen <mailto:jaap@sequent.com>, but he wouldn't
  recognize what I did to it.  I also used suggestions from John
  Romine <mailto:jromine@ics.uci.edu>, Tom McCain
  <mailto:tom@dynamo.ecn.purdue.edu>, and Brian Exelbierd
  <mailto:bex@usa.net>.

  Add

	set mail-script nn-use-mh

  to your init file.  See Appendix "nn-use-mh" for the script.

  In addition, you can contact Ray Davis <mailto:rdavis@convex.com>
  for some scripts that sort of turn nn into a MH front end by
  providing macros to save, delete and refile articles in MH folders.

  To use elm to send the messages, add the following to ~/.nn/init:

	set   mailer              nn_elm
	unset mailer-pipe-input

  and see Appendix "nn_elm" for the script.
