       [ appletype= ENCODING , ] [ bin= ENCODING , ] [ textenc= ENCODING , ]
       [ henc= ENCODING ] ;

       mailer Mailer_Name :  Path,  Program,  Arguments,  ... ;

DESCRIPTION
       The file /usr/local/lib/emil.cf is used by emil(1) to decide which
       conversions should be applied to a specific Internet message.
       Conversion is controlled by the combination of Sender, Recipient and
       Recipient_host and the corresponding group line.

       When emil is executed it first visits /usr/local/lib/emil.cf with the
       arguments Sender, Recipient and Recipient_host to extract the name of
       target group (as specified by the member fields). A subsequent check
       with the group fields yields the target group structure, containing
       charset, format, bin, textenc and henc.  Then the Sender and Recipient
       is swapped to get the corresponding information about the sender.

COMMANDS
       Commands may appear in any order. They are all ended with a semi colon
       ";".

              group  Defines a group by a group name and a comma separated
                     list of options.

                     Group_name - Name of the group.

                     charset - Specifies the charset used by the group,
                     according to RFC1345.

                     format - Specifies the format used by the group.  Pick
                     one of: MIME, MAILTOOL, RFC822 or TRANSPARENT.  Default
                     is RFC822.

                     appletype - Specifies the format to be used for applefile
                     attachments.  Pick one of Binhex, appleDouble or
                     appleSingle.

                     bin - Specifies the encoding to be used for binary
                     attachments.  Pick one of BAse64, BInhex or Uuencode.

                     textenc - Specifies the encoding to be used for text.
                     Pick one of BAse64, BInhex, Uuencode, Quoted-printable,
                     8bit, Se or 7bit. 7bit is default. When 7bit is chosen
                     the text is first converted to ISO-8859-1 and then the
                     8bit characters are replaced by the english characters
                     with closest resemblance.  When Se is chosen the text is
                     first converted to ISO-8859-1 and then the 8bit
                     characters are replaced by the appropriate characters as
                     specified by some national variants of ISO-646. This
                     special conversion is suited to work in Sweden but works
                     probably also for other european languages.

                     henc - Specifies the encoding to be used for header
                     lines.  Pick one of Base64, Quoted-printable, 8bit or Se,
                     7bit.  7bit is default. If BAse64 or Quoted-Printable is
                     selected headers are converted according to RFC1522
                     (MIME-II).  7bit and Se behaves like in the textenc
                     field.

              match  This field is used to build a list of types and the
                     corresponding expression in the given context.

                     Context - One of MAILTOOL, MIME, BINHEX or UUENCODE.

                     OUT - The generic type of the field

                     Match_String - A quoted string that corresponds to the
                     Context of the field. For MAILTOOL Match_String defines
                     the Sun Mailtool X-Sun-Data_type to be used. For MIME
                     Match_String defines the content-type to be used. For
                     UUENCODE Match_String defines the file name extension to
                     be used.  For BINHEX Match_String defines the merged two
                     4byte strings Type and Auth info.

              member
                     Defines members of a group given as a group name and a
                     comma separated list of the triples Recipient, Sender and
                     Recipient_host.  Either one in the triples can be totally
                     or partly replaced by a wildcard '*'.

                     Group_name - Name of the group.

                     Sender - Sender's mail address.

                     Recipient - Recipient's mail address.

                     Recipient_host - Name of the recipient host or relay.

       mailer
              Defines a mailer (or tags a program) as a mailer name and a
              comma separated list of arguments that makes up the execv vector
              of the program to execute.

              Mailer_name - Name of the mailer.

              Path - Path of the program to execute.

              Program - Name of the program to execute

              Arguments - A list of each command line argument to use when
              invoking the program.  To be suitable for mail programs you can
              specify variables representing sender, recipient and mail relay.
              These are specified by $s, $r and $x respectively.
