1 | .TH MAILMAINT 1 "27 Apr 1994" "MIT 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 | |
9 | allows a user to examine public mailing lists and add or | |
10 | remove him/herself from such lists. It does this using Moira, the Athena | |
11 | Service Management System. | |
12 | .PP | |
13 | When started, it will display a menu with the following options: | |
14 | .in +5 | |
15 | .nf | |
16 | 1. Show all mailing lists. | |
17 | 2. Get all members of a mailing list. | |
18 | 3. Display lists of which you are a member. | |
19 | 4. Show description of list. | |
20 | 5. Add yourself to a mailing list. | |
21 | 6. Delete yourself from a mailing list. | |
22 | .in -5 | |
23 | .fi | |
24 | .PP | |
25 | The first option will display all mailing lists that are not | |
26 | explicitly hidden. The second option will display the members of a | |
27 | named list. The third will display the names of the lists you belong | |
28 | to. The next option will give a description of any list that you | |
29 | name. | |
30 | .PP | |
31 | The next two options allow you to add or delete yourself to or from | |
32 | public mailing lists. If the person creating a mailing list has not | |
33 | made it public, you will not be allowed to add yourself to it. Even if it is | |
34 | public, you can only add or delete yourself, you cannot affect the | |
35 | others on the list. For other list operations (which are only allowed | |
36 | to the administrators of a list), see | |
37 | .I listmaint(1). | |
38 | .SH MENU OPERATION | |
39 | The menu works in the following way: A list of possible choices is | |
40 | presented, each preceded by a number. To make a choice, press the | |
41 | number of the choice, which will then be highlighted. To confirm this | |
42 | choice, press the return key. | |
43 | .PP | |
44 | If information is needed that cannot be entered via a menu (e.g. a | |
45 | description of the mailing list's purpose and/or use), the user will be | |
46 | prompted for such information. | |
47 | .PP | |
48 | Typing the interrupt character (normally Ctrl-C) | |
49 | during a text input will cancel the operation and return to | |
50 | the menu. | |
51 | .SH ENVIRONMENT | |
52 | .TP | |
53 | KRBTKFILE | |
54 | path name of your Kerberos ticket. Moira decides who you are and what you | |
55 | can do based on your Kerberos tickets, and nothing else. | |
56 | .TP | |
57 | TERMCAP | |
58 | information about the capabilities of the terminal and how to use them. | |
