NAME
       showaudio - Play an audio email message

SYNOPSIS
       showaudio  file-name(s)

DESCRIPTION
       The showaudio program will allow a user on a properly-equipped
       workstation to listen to an audio message.  It is intended to be called
       from mailcap files, typically by the metamail(1) program.

       At most sites, it will work by playing audio on the speaker of the
       user's computer.  When used in conjunction with special hardware and
       software not part of the metamail distribution, however, it can also
       deliver the audio information by telephone number.  There are various
       options to showaudio that support this feature, but they are not
       documented here since the functionality is not generally available.

SEE ALSO
       audiocompose(1), audiosend(1), metamail(1)

BUGS
       Currently plays audio only on Sun & Sony workstations.
