The 3rd line is NOT any prompt setting: # This is the configuration file for Heirloom mailx (formerly # known under the name "nail". # See mailx(1) for further options. # This file is not overwritten when 'make install' is run in # the mailx build process again. # Sccsid @(#)nail.rc 2.10 (gritter) 3/4/06 ... Moreover, I cannot find any mention of the keyword "prompt" in the standard configuration file. Perhaps it is some inherited thing from a former specific configuration? So sorry to inconvenience you! |
Description of problem: Syntax of "prompt" in /etc/mail.rc is wrong Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 10 How reproducible: Startup mailx and the command is ignored The 3rd line in /etc/mail.rc is: set prompt 'mail> ' It should be: set prompt='mail> ' Having a prompt of mail> makes mailx slightly more user-friendly.
