How to stop MAILX asking for CC address?

How to stop MAILX asking for CC address?

Hi,

I am trying mailx command in linux.
Is there a way to let mailx to skip asking CC address.
I just want it to send the mail straight away after I hit "." (period).

Regards,
Gundala

Don't know about Linux, but in real UNIX :-) it's done by not setting
"set askcc" in your ~/.mailrc file.

For a different definition of "real", try the "noaskcc" variable in
/etc/mailx.rc (see the man page). You might also just invoke sendmail
directly:

>sendmail
should do just as well at sending a message.

I't easy. But I don't help trolls.

If you weren't a lazy and dishonest person, you'd have found
the manual (not the manpage) by now and know the answer to your
question.

But it's easier to just hide behind yet another alias and try
to get someone else to do your homework for you, isn't it?

Except that almost everyone who knows anything on the Usenet
has their newsfilter set up to kill posts that have no name
in the From header. (especially one containing an anonymous
and throwaway gmail address).

I just download the headers and leave the article on the server.

Gagging is better than killing. That way I can keep track of
the Usenet vermin.

Maybe Frank "Bitchmouth" Slootweg can help you, but I doubt it.

[Note: I don't read the articles of "Sam" or his numerous
sockpuppets or his 'friends', nor any responses to them, and
haven't for years. He follows me all over the Usenet, and I
still don't read his articles. This _really_ pisses him off.
