<title>Configuration Information</title>
<para>
For displaying mails, <application>mailx</application>
uses a pager program. Since the default of <command>pg</command>
is not available on a LFS system, its required to
specify which pager is to use. By default, there is
<command>more</command> and the more comfortable
<command>less</command> installed. If the
variable PAGER is not set in <filename>/etc/profile</filename>
or <filename>~/.bash_profile</filename>, or if it
should be another pager just for reading mails, it can be
set system wide in <filename>/etc/nail.rc</filename>:
</para>
<screen><userinput role="nodump">echo "set PAGER=&lt;more|less&gt;" &gt;&gt; /etc/nail.rc</userinput></screen>
<para>or individually for the actual user in <filename>~/.mailrc</filename>:</para>
<screen><userinput role="nodump">echo "set PAGER=&lt;more|less&gt;" &gt;&gt; ~/.mailrc</userinput></screen>
<para>
Other interesting options to set in the config files might
be EDITOR and MAILDIR.
</para>
<para>
If not set in the environment for other packages, the
default editor can be set by:
</para>
<screen><userinput role="nodump">echo "set EDITOR=&lt;vim|nano|...&gt;" &gt;&gt; /etc/nail.rc</userinput></screen>
<para>
Depending on which kind of <xref linkend="server-mail"/> is
installed, it might be required to set the MAILDIR variable
so <application>mailx</application> is able to find the mails:
</para>
<screen><userinput role="nodump">echo "set MAILDIR=Maildir" &gt;&gt; /etc/nail.rc</userinput></screen>
