        !            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.
