Could someone please answer the following question about mailx? (The Sys V mail program.) When mailx displays a message, the last line in the header is "Status". Typical lines are: Status: RO Status: R What does this mean? What are the possible statuses that one might see? Where is this documented? I can't find it anywhere. Thanks

Typical lines are: > >Status: RO >Status: R I'm not exactly sure what the difference between R and RO is but those lines are inserted by mailx after you have read a particular piece of mail. This is how mailx decides what to put in front of the message list (N means new, U means unread, and " " means that you've read it) when you start mailx or use the h/z commands. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Georg S.
