1 | .TH MAILMAINT 1 "28 Jan 1988" "Project Athena" | |
2 | \" RCSID: $Header$ | |
3 | .SH NAME | |
4 | mailmaint \- maintain mailing lists for a user | |
5 | .SH SYNOPSIS | |
6 | .B mailmaint | |
7 | .SH DESCRIPTION | |
8 | .I maintmaint allows a user to examine public mailing lists and add or | |
9 | remove him/herself from such lists. It does this through the SMS | |
10 | system. | |
11 | .PP | |
12 | When started, it will display a menu with the following options: | |
13 | .in +5 | |
14 | .nf | |
15 | 1. Show all mailing lists. | |
16 | 2. Get all members of a mailing list. | |
17 | 3. Display lists of which you are a member. | |
18 | 4. Show description of list. | |
19 | 5. Add yourself to a mailing list. | |
20 | 6. Delete yourself from a mailing list. | |
21 | .in -5 | |
22 | .fi | |
23 | .PP | |
24 | The first option will display all mailing lists which are not | |
25 | explicitly hidden. The second option will display the members of a | |
26 | named list. The third will display the names of the lists you belong | |
27 | to. The next option will give a description of any list that you | |
28 | name. | |
29 | .PP | |
30 | The next two options allow you to add or delete yourself to or from | |
31 | public mailing lists. If the person creating a mailing list has not | |
32 | made it public, you will not be allowed to change it. Even if it is | |
33 | public, you can only add or delete yourself, you cannot affect the | |
34 | others on the list. For other list operations (which are only allowed | |
35 | to the administrators of a list), see | |
36 | .I listmaint(1). | |
37 | .SH MENU OPERATION | |
38 | Each of the menus presented works in the same way: A list of possible | |
39 | choices is presented, each preceded by a number. The title of the | |
40 | function is displayed at the top of the screen, centered, and the | |
41 | current choice is highlighted. To make a choice, press the number of | |
42 | the choice, which will then be highlighted. To confirm this | |
43 | choice, press the return key. | |
44 | .PP | |
45 | There will usually be a | |
46 | .I Quit | |
47 | option and a | |
48 | .I Return to previous level | |
49 | option available in each menu. The exception to this is during mailing | |
50 | list creation; a type for the list must be selected from a menu. | |
51 | Typing the interrupt character (normally CTRL-C) or the return key | |
52 | during a database access or while being prompted for a menu | |
53 | selection will act the same as a | |
54 | .I Quit. | |
55 | Typing the interrupt character | |
56 | during a text input will cancel the operation and return to | |
57 | the most recent menu. | |
58 | .PP | |
59 | If information is needed that cannot be entered via a menu (e.g. a | |
60 | description of the mailing list's purpose and/or use), the user will be | |
61 | prompted for such information. | |
62 | .SH ENVIRONMENT | |
63 | .TP | |
64 | KRBTKFILE | |
65 | path name of your Kerberos ticket. SMS decides who you are and what you | |
66 | can do based on your Kerberos tickets, and nothing else. | |
67 | .TP | |
68 | TERMCAP | |
69 | information about the capabilities of the terminal and how to use them. | |
