Table of Contents
This guide to ezmlm-make arguments is designed for quick reference only. For definitive information on ezmlm-make arguments, see the ezmlm-make page on the ezmlm-idx web site.
Disclaimers
Much of the information in this table is specific to the Kavi® environment.
It is not always possible to determine the behavior of a list based on the setting of an individual argument because of argument interactions and the application of rules defined in ezmlm-rc. Explanation of these subtleties is outside the scope of this documentation.
Some arguments are omitted from this list because they are not exposed through Kavi interfaces.
Settings referencing archives generally apply to raw archives only. The one exception is instant archiving, which applies to the web-accessible MHonArc archives.
Each argument corresponds to a letter of the alphabet, preceded by a hyphen. For instance, the arguments -a and -A represent the ezmlm default and non-default settings for the archiving feature, with the default (-a) indicating that the list will have archives.
