anno

anno(1mh) anno(1mh)

Name
anno - annotate messages

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

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

The 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 with and to keep track of how you have distributed, forwarded, or replied to messages.

By default, 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.

Options
-component field
Specifies the name of the header field which 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, will prompt you for the field name.

-help Prints a list of the valid options to this command.

-inplace
-noinplace
The -inplace switch causes annotation to be done in place in order to preserve links to the annotated message.

-text body
Allows you to add a header field containing text to the message. The 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, 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

Examples
This example annotates message number 1 in the folder 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 91 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 91 16:13:27 +0000
Forwarded: to David - as requested

The final example shows how prompts for the name of the header field, if the -component option is not supplied:
% anno
Enter component name: forwarded
The following line is added to the message:
forwarded: Tue, 08 Jan 91 16:21:58 +0000
