The DISPlay Option

Syntax:

          Option DISPlay=field,field,...
          Option NoDISPlay=field,field,...

Description:

The DISPlay and NoDISPlay options let you control which header lines appear when you display a message with Print. Possible field arguments are:

          cc           comment    in-reply-to   keywords
          message-id   received   sender        organization
          precedence   x-file     content-id    mime-version
          content-conversion      content-md5   content-type
          content-transfer-encoding

You cannot use this option to affect other fields.

If you use DISPlay, all subsequent Print commands display the header lines you ask for. For example,

          option display=x-file

tells MAIL8 to display X-File header lines (in addition to any other header lines you are already displaying).

If you use NoDISPlay, all subsequent Print commands do not display the given header lines. For example,

          option ndisp=x-file

tells MAIL8 not to display X-File header lines.

The initial defaults are

          option display=cc,in-reply-to,sender,organization

and NoDISPlay on everything else. Print +Verbose always displays the complete header lines and message, no matter which options you set.
