@node !Commands.Mail

  Package Mail provides operations for creating, sending, replying,
  forwarding, and remailing messages as well as operations for creating
  and managing mailboxes.

  The Environment Editor provides three types of images related to Mail:
  mailboxes, read messages, and transmit messages (send, reply, forward,
  and remail).  Many of the operations in package !Commands.Common apply
  to one or more of these types of windows.  

  
  The Environment Editor provides three types of images related to Mail:
  mailboxes, read messages, and transmit messages (send, reply, forward,
  and remail).  Many of the operations in package !Commands.Common apply
  to one or more of these types of windows.

  The following procedures from package Common apply to mailboxes, read
  messages, and/or transmit messages, as indicated.  Operations from
  package Common that do not apply produce a message to that effect in
  the Message window.

  !Commands.Common.Abandon

  Abandons the window and the window is removed from the screen.  If the
  window is a mailbox window, any message windows related to that
  mailbox are also abandoned.  That is, open messages from that mailbox
  and any reply, forward, or remail message windows created from open
  messages from that mailbox are also abandoned.

  !Commands.Common.Commit

  Causes a transmit message to be sent. If an invalid entry exists in
  the <USER_LIST> field, it will be underlined and the message will not
  be sent.

  Commit is not supported in a mailbox or a read message window.

  !Commands.Common.Create_Command

  Creates a Command window below the current window.  The use clause in
  the Command window (use Editor, Common, Mail;) includes this package,
  so operations in this pack- age are visible in the Command window
  without qualification.

  !Commands.Common.Definition

  Brings up a window with the image of that mailbox, when the cursor is
  positioned on a mailbox name. When the cursor is positioned on a
  message line within the mailbox, a window is brought up with the image
  of that message in the window.  In addition, if the message was
  previously unread (status N, for new), the status will change to
  indicate that it is a read message.

  Definition is not supported in a message window.

  !Commands.Common.Edit

  Makes a previously sent message editable.  An editable message's entry
  fields become prompts but retain the previously entered information.
  The result is equivalent to that obtained when a previously executed
  command is completed in a Command window.

  Edit is not supported in a mailbox or a read message window.

  !Commands.Common.Enclosing
                   
  Finds the mailbox that contains the read message or the Main mailbox
  if the window is a transmit message.

  Enclosing is not supported for a mailbox window.

  !Commands.Common.Format

  Displays any newly arrived messages in a mailbox window and places the
  cursor on the first new message.

  Format is not supported in a message window.

  !Commands.Common.Promote

  Causes a transmit message to be sent. If an invalid entry exists in
  the <USER_LIST> field, it will be underlined and the message will not
  be sent.

  Promote is not supported in a mailbox or a read message window.

  !Commands.Common.Redo

  Creates a reply template for a selected message in a mailbox, unless
  the message was returned because it was previously undeliverable.  If
  the message was previously unde- liverable, Redo presents the original
  message ready to be resent.

  !Commands.Common.Release

  Commits the window and the window is removed from the screen.  If the
  window is a mailbox window, any message windows related to that
  mailbox are also committed.  That is, open messages from that mailbox
  and any reply, forward, or remail message windows created from open
  messages from that mailbox are also committed.

  Committing a mailbox window simply removes the window.

  Committing a read message window removes the window and places the
  cursor on the next undeleted message in the mailbox window (unless the
  mailbox window was also released).

  Committing a transmit window causes the message to be sent, removes
  the window, and places the cursor in the previously visited window.
  
  If the commit for a transmit window is as a result of committing a
  mailbox window, an invalid entry in the <USER LIST> field will be
  ignored.

  !Commands.Common.Revert

  Displays any newly arrived messages in a mailbox window.

  Revert is not supported in a message window.

  !Commands.Common.Semanticize

  Checks the validity of the <USER LIST> fields and underlines any
  erroneous entries.

  !Commands.Common.Sort_Image

  Changes the sort order in which messages are displayed in a mailbox.
  The order is changed to that specified by the Format parameter.
  Consult the help message for tthe Mail_Default_Sort_Order session
  switch for more information.

  Sort_Image is not supported in a message window.

  !Commands.Common.Undo

  Changes the status of the selected message(s) to normal~char(208)that
  is, not deleted.  If the message is not already flagged for deletion,
  the operation has no effect.

  Undo is not supported in a transmit message window.

  !Commands.Common.Object.Child

  Selects the line on which the cursor is located.  Specifically, if
  nothing is selected, the procedure selects the line on which the
  cursor is located.  If a single line is already selected, the
  procedure has no effect.  If all lines are already selected, the
  procedure selects the line on which the cursor is located.

  !Commands.Common.Object.Copy

  Copies a highlighted set of messages from one mailbox into another
  mailbox in which the cursor is located.

  Object.Copy is not supported in a message window.

  !Commands.Common.Object.Delete

  Changes, to deleted, the status of the current read message window or
  of the selected message(s) in the current mailbox.  If the message is
  already flagged for deletion, the message(s) are expunged.  Existing
  message windows for deleted messages are also deleted.

  Object.Delete is not supported in a transmit message window.

  !Commands.Common.Object.First_Child

  Selects the first line of the mailbox or the first line of the message.

  !Commands.Common.Object.Insert

  Creates a send message template from within the mailbox window.

  Object.Insert is not supported in a message window.

  !Commands.Common.Object.Last_Child

  Selects the last message of the mailbox or the last line of the message. 

  !Commands.Common.Object.Move

  Moves a highlighted set of messages from one mailbox to another
  mailbox in which the cursor located.  If the selected switch and the
  cursor are both in the same set of switches, the procedure has no
  effect.

  Object.Copy is not supported in a message window.

  !Commands.Common.Object.Next

  Selects the next line.  If no line is selected, the procedure does
  nothing.  If all switches are selected, this procedure produces an
  error.

  !Commands.Common.Object.Parent

  Selects the line on which the cursor is located.  If no line is
  selected, the procedure selects the line on which the cursor is
  located.  If a line is selected, the procedure selects all lines in
  the mailbox or in the message.  Otherwise, the procedure has no
  effect.

  !Commands.Common.Object.Previous

  Selects the previous line.  If no line is selected, the procedure does
  nothing.  If all lines are selected, this procedure produces an error.
