HELP SEND (VMS version)                             AS and JCL, Jan 1985
                                          Updated Mark Rubinstein Mar 85

There are two commands for sending mail from inside VED:

<ENTER> send <name1> <name2> <name3>
    Sends current file as mail to the named people.

<ENTER> sendmr <name1> <name2> <name3>
    The same, but sends the marked range.

<ENTER> send
    Sends whole file to people named in "To:" line at top of file.

<ENTER> sendmr
    Sends marked range to people named in "To:" line at top of marked
    range.

The commands look at the the first non-blank line to be sent.  If it
starts with one of the strings in -ved_send_target_prefixes- followed by
a colon, then the rest on the line is taken to be a list of recipients.
Default prefixes are defined as:

    ['TO' 'To' 'to'] -> ved_send_target_prefixes;

The commands then look at the first non-blank line (after the 'TO:' line
if there is one) to be sent.  If it starts with one of the strings in
-ved_send_subject_prefixes- followed by a colon, then the rest of the
line is sent as the 'SUBJECT' of the message. Default prefixes are
defined as:

    ['RE' 'Re' 're' 'Subject' 'subject' 'Subj' 'SUBJ' 'SUBJECT' 'subj']
        -> ved_send_subject_prefixes;

If both a 'TO:' and a 'RE:' line are specified then the 'TO:' line
should be specified first.  On VMS machines it is necessary to separate
the names of recipients with commas.

The message is written to VEDMESSAG.LIS, in the user's login directory,
then sent via the VMS "MAIL" command, and is deleted after the message
has been sent.

NOTE: there is a different range of VED-based mail facilities in Unix
versions of POPLOG.
