There are free mail accounts that let you control your contents, so you
are wrong: you have control over the footer with a free mail account.

The problem is that these mails get archived publicly, and I don't want to
be forced to advertise the proprietary software you chose to advertise. I
don't like this style of forced advertising (and am not alone with it),
and forcing that on others is a bit rude, don't you think so?

No, it wasn't a joke, but an honest attempt to cut through some of the
confusion in your mail - since urxvt::term is clearly documented, but you
said "the term class" isn't, I needed to know whether you didn't see or
understand that part of the documentation, or refer to something else.

The very concept makes no sense, because "ls" has no command line. When you
first want to run ls, and then a shell, you need to specify both, e.g.
urxvt -e sh -c 'ls; exec sh'
In the same way you can specify -e and its arguments in urxvt::term->new:
new urxvt::term
$env, "urxvt",
-e => "sh", -c => "ls; exec sh"
;

Samr thing, write a script that outputs the emssage, then starts a shell.

This is a configurable parameter - the "correct" way depends on what you
want to do. If you just want to start a new terminal using the sdame
environment as the current one, $term->env is the easiest way to do that.

That's because the environment is a unix feature
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environment_variable#Unix).

I think the problem is "send a command" - this concept doesn't exist, and
you best drop it.

Maybe it should, but there isn't, due to the way unix works. You should
replace this concept by "how do I do what I want to do with a program
running inside a terminal".

Maybe, but urxvt has no concept of font resizing at the moment. You can,
however, change any font using the 710/711/712/713 osc sequences, e.g.
printf "\e]710;fixed\e\\"
Or using e.g. $term->cmd_parse ("\e]710;fixed\e\\").

Please don't add a full-quote of previous messages without refering to it
- it forces others to skim through it to see if you wrote something there,
and already have your previous message.
