:MAIL.NETWORK.TELAMON
MAIL(nm): 06Feb2006-09:20 (A.02.24) MPE/iX
Telamon, Inc. (C) 1994-2006
Usage:
:MAIL "-t to [-c cc] [-b bcc] [-f from] [-r replyto] [-h host] [-s 'subj'] &
: [-{a|z}[u|p|h|r|o][b] file[=altname]] [-m file [-mt type] [-p] | text]"
<snip>......
Defaults from system variables:
MAILSMTPHOST -> host
MAILFROM -> from
MAILTO -> to (comma-separated for mult)
MAILCC -> cc (comma-separated for mult)
MAILBCC -> bcc (comma-separated for mult)
MAILSUBJECT -> subject
MAILAUTHUSER -> Authentication username
MAILAUTHPASS -> Authentication password
(note: Authentication requires use of '-esmtp' option)
(note: Supports PLAIN, LOGIN or CRAM-MD5 authentication types, only)
MAILHEXCONVERT
-> '1' forces -hex
MAILRECVTIMEOUT
-> sets -timeout value
MAILCONNECTTIMEOUT
-> change socket connect timeout [120]
VERBOSE -> '1' sets -v, '2' sets -v+
TRACE -> '1' enables NetIPC tracing
<snip>
(The "-esmtp" option is covered in a part I snipped).
We use "mailfrom", "mailsmtphost", "mailsubject", "mailauthuser" &
"mailauthpass". If I were writing new routines from scratch, I would probably
use 'mailto' and / or "mailbcc" also.

There is no help available for the SETVARs. The default help when you
give it no parameters only shows 3 possible SETVARS:
MAILSMTPHOST
MAILFROM
MAILSUBJECT
Otherwise I have no clue as to what other SETVARs are available.
