Dear All

I am looking to get one of those Dell 2-1 laptop with touch.  Does Linux
supports touchscreen well?   I googled online and got good positive reviews.
I also want to check here for any tips


I have a Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro from about 10 years ago, and a couple HP x360 
laptops with touch screens and they both work fine. I rarely use them, 
but they do work.

Generally speaking, Linux will only support any manufacturer's touchscreen as 
well as the Linux driver support the manufacturer provides.

I'd start with Dell FAQs, forums, support, etc.

I never own a touchscreen so I just want to check before I buy.  Thanks

"The '-s' option means subject; the '-S' option is a keyword:value pair."

Rich - See example 6:

6. Specify "Reply-To" address

The reply to address is set with the internal option variable "replyto" using 
the "-S" option.

# replyto email
$ echo "This is message" | mail -s "Testing replyto" -S 
replyto="m...@gmail.com" some...@example.com

# replyto email with a name
$ echo "This is message" | mail -s "Testing replyto" -S 
replyto="Mark" some...@example.com

I don't know about `mailx -S`, but you could put a placeholder in your msg
file like "Hi NAME_GOES_HERE". Then something like:

#!/bin/sh

while read addr <&3 && read name <&4; do
   sed "s/NAME_GOES_HERE/$name" msg | mailx -s "subject here" $addr
done 3

Reid,

This looks promising. I was stuck on a placeholder at the top of the message
and putting the right name with the right address since both input files are
in the same sequence.

Thanks,

Rich

MC,

The '-s' option means subject; the '-S' option is a keyword:value pair.
