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