LIST - send the current message to a file or to a shell command
Usage: LIST [/switch] filename
or: LIST [/switch] |"shell-command"
The LIST command copies the message to a file or to a shell command.
The result contains a table of contents (like a HEADERS command) for
the message, then a page break, then the message. You may specify
as an option the switch /headers-only, to print only the header
(like a HEADERS command).
The command LITERAL LIST will print all header fields regardless of
settings of DONT-PRINT-HEADERS or ONLY-PRINT-HEADERS. SET LIST-INCLUDE-
HEADERS NO will eliminate the table of contents on the first page of output.
The file created with LIST is not a mail file readable by MM (use COPY or
MOVE to create a mail file). LIST does not append to existing files,
so if you use the name of an existing file you will be replacing it.
The first version of the LIST command sends the current message to a file.
Read>list joe #sends the message to a file "joe"
Read>list /headers-only hdrs #sends only the header, to a file
called "hdrs"
The second version of the LIST command is similar, but sends the current
message as input to a shell command. Use the unix pipe symbol (|)
and put quotation marks (") around the shell command. For example,
one way of printing a message is to LIST it to a print command.
Read>list | "print" #sends the message to the
shell command "print"
