                     17: \fIPost\fR is the program called by \fIsend\fR\0(1)
                     18: to deliver the message in \fIfile\fR to local and remote users.
                     19: In fact, all of the functions attributed to \fIsend\fR
                     20: on its manual page are performed by \fIpost\fR,
                     21: with \fIsend\fR acting as a relatively simple preprocessor.
                     22: Thus, it is \fIpost\fR which parses the various header fields,
                     23: appends From: and Date: lines,
                     24: and interacts with the \fISendMail\fR transport system.
                     25: \fIPost\fR will not normally be called directly by the user.
                     26: 
                     27: \fIPost\fR
                     28: searches the \*(lqTo:\*(rq, \*(lqcc:\*(rq, \*(lqBcc:\*(rq, \*(lqFcc:\*(rq, and \*(lqResent\-xxx:\*(rq
                     29: header lines of
                     30: the specified message for destination addresses, checks these
                     31: addresses for validity, and formats them so as to conform to 
                     32: ARPAnet Internet Message Format protocol,
                     33: unless the `\-noformat' flag is set.
                     34: This will normally cause \*(lq@\fIlocal\-site\fR\*(rq to
                     35: be appended to each local destination address, as well
                     36: as any local return addresses.  
                     37: The `\-width\ columns' switch can be used to indicate the preferred length
                     38: of the header components that contain addresses.
                     39: 
                     40: If a \*(lqBcc:\*(rq field is encountered,
                     41: its addresses will be used for delivery,
                     42: and the \*(lqBcc:\*(rq field will be removed from the message sent to sighted
                     43: recipients.
                     44: The blind recipients will receive an entirely new message with
                     45: a minimal set of headers.
                     46: Included in the body of the message will be a copy of the message sent to the
                     47: sighted recipients.
                     48: If `\-filter\ filterfile' is specified,
                     49: then this copy is filtered (re\-formatted)
                     50: prior to being sent to the blind recipients.
                     51: 
                     52: The `\-alias\ aliasfile' switch can be used to specify a file that post should
                     53: take aliases from.  More than one file can be specified, each being preceded
                     54: with `\-alias'.
                     55: In any event,
                     56: the primary alias file is read first.
                     57: 
                     58: The `\-msgid' switch indicates that
                     59: a \*(lqMessage\-ID:\*(rq or \*(lqResent\-Message\-ID:\*(rq
                     60: field should be added to the header.
                     61: 
                     62: The `\-verbose' switch indicates that the user should be informed of each
                     63: step of the posting/filing process.
                     64: 
                     65: The `\-watch' switch indicates that the user would like to watch the transport
                     66: system's handling of the message (e.g., local and \*(lqfast\*(rq delivery).
                     67: 
                     68: \fIPost\fR consults the environment variable \fB$SIGNATURE\fR to
