        !            10: This section describes command line options for
        !            11: .i Mail
        !            12: and what they are used for.
        !            13: .ip \-N
        !            14: Suppress the initial printing of headers.
        !            15: .ip \-d
        !            16: Turn on debugging information.  Not of general interest.
        !            17: .ip "\-f file\ \ "
        !            18: Show the messages in
        !            19: .i file
        !            20: instead of your system mailbox.  If
        !            21: .i file
        !            22: is omitted,
        !            23: .i Mail
        !            24: reads
        !            25: .i mbox

        !            27: .ip \-i
        !            28: Ignore tty interrupt signals.  Useful on noisy phone lines, which
        !            29: generate spurious RUBOUT or DELETE characters.  It's usually
        !            30: more effective to change your interrupt character to control\-c,
        !            31: for which see the
        !            32: .i stty

        !            34: .ip \-n
        !            35: Inhibit reading of /usr/lib/Mail.rc.  Not generally useful, since
        !            36: /usr/lib/Mail.rc is usually empty.
        !            37: .ip "\-s string"
        !            38: Used for sending mail.
        !            39: .i String
        !            40: is used as the subject of the message being composed.  If
        !            41: .i string
        !            42: contains blanks, you must surround it with quote marks.

        !            47: their mailboxes, but discretion is advised. Essentially,
        !            48: .b "\-u user"
        !            49: is a shorthand way of doing

        !            54: flag when invoking sendmail. This feature may also be enabled
        !            55: by setting the the option "verbose".
        !            56: .pp
        !            57: The following command line flags are also recognized, but are

        !            72: Pass on hop count information.

        !            74: will take the number, increment it, and pass it with
        !            75: .b \-h
        !            76: to the mail delivery system.
        !            77: .b \-h
        !            78: only has effect when sending mail and is used for network mail
        !            79: forwarding.
        !            80: .ip "\-r name"
        !            81: Used for network mail forwarding:  interpret
        !            82: .i name
        !            83: as the sender of the message.  The
        !            84: .i name
        !            85: and
        !            86: .b \-r
        !            87: are simply sent along to the mail delivery system.  Also,
        !            88: .i Mail
        !            89: will wait for the message to be sent and return the exit status.
        !            90: Also restricts formatting of message.
        !            91: .pp
        !            92: Note that

        !            94: and
        !            95: .b \-r ,
        !            96: which are for network mail forwarding, are not used in practice
        !            97: since mail forwarding is now handled separately.  They may
        !            98: disappear soon.
