Including a specific message within a message
Use the ~f or ~m subcommand to include a specific message within your message.
At the beginning of a new line while in the mail editor, you can use either the ~f or ~m subcommand as shown in the following examples:
Item | Description |
---|---|
~f MessageList |
Appends the indicated message or messages to the end of the current
message, but does not indent the appended message. Also, use this subcommand
to append messages for reference whose margins are too wide to embed with
the ~m subcommand. Note: The parameter MessageList is a list of integers that refer to valid message numbers in the mailbox or folder being handled by mail. You can enter simple ranges of numbers also. For example: |
~m 2 |
Appends the indicated message to the end of the current message. The included message is indented one tab character from the normal left margin of the message. In this example, message 2 is appended to the current message. |
~m 1 3 |
Appends message 1 and then message 3 to the end of the message being written, indented one tab from the left margin. |
