Getting Help: Other mailx Commands

mailx has two help commands that display lists of commands and functions. When in command mode, you can type ? at the mailx prompt (&) to see a list of commands used in that mode. Similarly, when in input mode (for example, when writing a message), you can use the equivalent command, ~? to view a list of tilde commands (also called “tilde escapes”).

The man pages contain extensive information on mailx in more technical form. To see this entry, type the command:


$ man mailx
