                     18: .SH DESCRIPTION
                     19: \fIMHmail\fR
                     20: is intended as a replacement for the standard Bell mail program
                     21: (\fIbellmail\fR\0(1)), compatible with \fIMH\fR.
                     22: When invoked without arguments, it simply 
                     23: invokes \fIinc\fR\0(1)
                     24: to incorporate new messages from the user's maildrop.
                     25: When one or more users is specified, a message is read from
                     26: the standard input and spooled to a temporary file.
                     27: \fIMHmail\fR then invokes \fIpost\fR\0(8)
                     28: with the name of the temporary file as
                     29: its argument to deliver the message to the specified user.
                     30: 
                     31: The `\-subject\ subject' switch can be used to specify the \*(lqSubject:\*(rq field
                     32: of the message.  The `\-body\ text' switch can be used to specify the text of
                     33: the message; if it is specified, then the standard input is not read.
                     34: Normally, addresses appearing as arguments are put in the \*(lqTo:\*(rq field.
                     35: If the `\-cc' switch is used, all addresses following it are placed in the
                     36: \*(lqcc:\*(rq field.
                     37: 
                     38: By using `\-from\ addr',
                     39: you can specify the \*(lqFrom:\*(rq header of the draft.
                     40: Naturally,
                     41: \fIpost\fR will fill\-in the \*(lqSender:\*(rq header correctly.
                     42: 
                     43: This program is intended for the use of programs 
                     44: such as \fIat\fR\0(1), which expect
                     45: to send mail automatically to various users.
                     46: Normally, real people (as opposed to the \*(lqunreal\*(rq ones)
                     47: will prefer to use \fIcomp\fR\0(1) and \fIsend\fR\0(1) to send messages.
