NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       anno  -  annotate messages (only available within the message
 handling system, mh)

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       anno   [+folder]   [msgs]   [-component   field]   [-help]
       [-[no]inplace] [-text body]

OPTIONS    [Toc]    [Back]

       Specifies the name of the header field which anno adds. It
       should be a valid RFC 822-style message field name,  which
       means that it should consist of alphanumeric characters or
       dashes only. If you do not supply this option,  anno  will
       prompt you for the field name.  Prints a list of the valid
       options to this command.  The -inplace switch causes annotation
  to  be done in place in order to preserve links to
       the annotated message.  Allows you to add a  header  field
       containing  text  to  the  message.  The anno command will
       create a second header field on  the  message,  containing
       the  text  that you specify. If the text contains a space,
       you must enclose the text in double quotes ("). If you  do
       not  supply  this  option, anno adds only one field, which
       contains the date of the annotation.

       The default settings for this command are:

       +folder  defaults to the current folder
       msgs defaults to the current message
       -noinplace

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The anno command annotates a message by adding one or more
       header fields to the message.

       The  anno  command  allows  you  to choose the name of the
       header field which you add. It records the date  at  which
       the  message  is annotated, and allows you to add an additional
 field containing text, if you wish.

       You can use anno with dist, forw, and repl, to keep  track
       of how you have distributed, forwarded, or replied to messages.


       By default, anno annotates the current message in the current
  folder.  You can select another message by using the
       msg and +folder arguments. You can also annotate more than
       one message, or a range of messages.

EXAMPLES    [Toc]    [Back]

       This  example  annotates  message  number  1 in the folder
       +test.  The -component option specifies the  name  of  the
       header field: % anno 1 +test -component Forwarded

              The following field is added to the message header:
              Forwarded: Tue, 08 Jan 1991 16:10:06 +0000 The next
              example shows how to use the -text option to add an
              additional field: % anno -component Forwarded -text
              "to David - as requested"

              The  following  lines  are  added  to  the  message
              header: Forwarded: Tue, 08 Jan 1991 16:13:27  +0000
              Forwarded:  to David - as requested The final example
 shows how anno prompts  for  the  name  of  the
              header  field, if the -component option is not supplied:
 % annoEnter component name: forwarded

              The following line is added to  the  message:  forwarded:
 Tue, 08 Jan 1991 16:21:58 +0000
