CHANGING THE HEADER FIELDS BEFORE SENDING

From the S> prompt, you can go back and change the header fields (To, cc and Subject).

REVIEWING THE HEADER FIELDS

If the header fields are not visible on screen, you can review them with the display command. The command display headers (you can type just d h) shows just the header fields. You can also specify one field with a command like display to and so forth.

CHANGING THE ADDRESSES

The commands to and cc add more addresses to the To and cc fields, respectively. Just type the command and an address.

There are two ways to remove an address. The commands erase to and erase cc wipe out everything in the To and cc fields respectively. The command remove with an address removes that address from any header field in which it appears.

To replace one address with another, first use either an erase or remove command, and then to or cc.

The following examples show some manipulations. A display headers command is used repeatedly to see the results.

CHANGING THE SUBJECT

You can replace or remove the Subject field with short commands. To replace it, type the command subject followed by a new subject field. To remove it entirely, type erase subject.

EDITING THE HEADER FIELDS DIRECTLY

If you know Emacs, another way to accomplish any change to the header fields is to use the command edit headers. You will get an Emacs screen containing the header fields, and you can use Emacs commands to make any changes. You need to be careful that each field still begins with an identifying word followed by a colon and a space, or there may be a mailing problem.
