Library /sys$common/syshlp/mailhelp.hlb DIRECTORY, Qualifiers  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

1 - /BEFORE

       /BEFORE=date

    Selects messages received before the specified date. If you do
    not specify a date, Mail displays a listing of all the mail
    messages received before the current day (today). You can also
    specify the keywords YESTERDAY and TODAY. For example, the
    command DIRECTORY/BEFORE=YESTERDAY would give you a listing of
    all mail messages received before yesterday.

2 - /CC_SUBSTRING

       /CC_SUBSTRING=text

    Selects messages containing the specified text in the CC: field
    of the message, where the specified text is usually a node name
    or user name.

3 - /EDIT

    Invokes a text editor using the output of the DIRECTORY command
    as input to the editor. Unless you have selected a different
    editor, the DECTPU-based EVE editor is invoked. The /EDIT
    qualifier enables you to find messages by scrolling through
    folders or searching text.

4 - /FROM_SUBSTRING

       /FROM_SUBSTRING=text

    Selects messages containing the specified text in the From: field
    of the message, where the specified text is usually a node name
    or user name. This command searches only the node name and user
    name of the sender; it does not search the personal name field.

5 - /FOLDER

    Displays a listing of all the folders contained in the current
    Mail file.

6 - /FULL

    Displays the number of records in the message and whether you
    have replied to the message. External message identification
    numbers (for messages larger than 3 blocks) are also displayed.

7 - /MARKED

       /MARKED
       /NOMARKED

    Selects messages that have been marked. The /NOMARKED qualifier
    selects messages that are not marked.

8 - /NEW

    Selects the NEWMAIL folder and displays new mail messages
    received while you are in Mail. If there are no new messages,
    Mail displays the message "%MAIL-W-NONEWMAIL, no new messages".
    When a mail file other than your default mail file is open, Mail
    closes the file and opens your default mail file.

9 - /PAGE

       /PAGE[=keyword]
       /NOPAGE (default)

    Controls the display of information on the screen.

    You can use the following keywords with the /PAGE qualifier:

    CLEAR_SCREEN   Clears the screen before each page is displayed.

    SCROLL         Displays information one line at a time.

    SAVE[=n]       Enables screen navigation of information, where n
                   is the number of pages to store.

    The /PAGE qualifier allows you to navigate through a maximum of 5
    screens containing up to 255 columns of information. When you use
    the /PAGE qualifier, you can use the following keys as well:
