History
"Electronic mail was there from the start", Douglas McIlroy writes in his article "A Research UNIX Reader: Annotated Excerpts from the Programmer’s Manual, 1971-1986",[1] and so a Page Template:Mono/styles.css has no content.mail command was included in the first released version of research Unix, First Edition Unix.[2] This version of mail was capable of sending (append) messages to the mailboxes of other users on Unix systems, and it helped manage (read) the mailbox of the current user.
In 1978 Kurt Shoens wrote a completely new version of mail for BSD 2, referred to as Berkeley Mail. Although initially installed at Page Template:Mono/styles.css has no content./usr/ucb/Mail, (with the earlier Unix mail still available at Page Template:Mono/styles.css has no content./bin/mail), on most modern Unix and Linux systems the commands Page Template:Mono/styles.css has no content.Mail, Page Template:Mono/styles.css has no content.mail and/or Page Template:Mono/styles.css has no content.mailx all invoke a descendant of this Berkeley Mail, which much later was the base for the standardization of a mail program by the OpenGroup, the POSIX standardized variant mailx.[3][4]
