-channel=name	None

Parameters

message-id[,...]

Description

For many channels, delivery history information is appended to the end of each message file after an unsuccessful delivery attempt has been made. With the history command, this information can be displayed.

The messages to show histories for are specified by their message identification numbers shown by the most recent directory command. That number appears in the leftmost column of the directory command listing. Ambiguous message numbers must be qualified by the proper channel name with the -channel qualifier.

Note that history information is not recorded by some channels.

Qualifiers

-all

-noall (default)

Display history information for all messages shown with the last directory command. When used in conjunction with the -channel qualifier, only histories of those messages shown with the last directory command for the specified channel will be shown.

-channel=name

Specifies the name of the channel for which to show message histories. Wild cards are not permitted.

-confirm

-noconfirm (default)

When -confirm is specified, you will be prompted to confirm whether or not to display the history for each selected message.
