NAME

       Rnmail - a program for replying via mail

SYNOPSIS

       Rnmail destination_list
	 or
       Rnmail -h headerfile [oldarticle]
	 or
       Rnmail

DESCRIPTION

       Rnmail  is  a friendly interface for mailing replies to news articles.  It will ask several questions, then allow you to enter your letter,
       and then mail it off.  If you type h and a carriage return at any point, Rnmail will tell you what it wants to know.

       The -h form is used when invoked from rn.  If your editor can edit multiple files, and you want the article to which you  are  replying	to
       show  up  as  an  alternate  file, define the environment variable MAILPOSTER as "Rnmail -h %h %A".  You can also modify the the MAILHEADER
       environment variable to change the header file that rn passes to Rnmail.
