        !            21: \fISend\fR will cause each of the specified files to
        !            22: be delivered (via \fIpost\fR\0(8)) to each of the destinations
        !            23: in the \*(lqTo:\*(rq, \*(lqcc:\*(rq, \*(lqBcc:\*(rq, and \*(lqFcc:\*(rq
        !            24: fields of the message.
        !            25: If \fIsend\fR is re\-distributing a message, as invoked from \fIdist\fR,
        !            26: then the corresponding \*(lqResent\-xxx\*(rq fields are examined
        !            27: instead.
        !            28: 
        !            29: If `\-push' is specified,
        !            30: \fIsend\fR will detach itself from the user's terminal and perform its
        !            31: actions in the background.
        !            32: If \fIpush\fR\0'd and the draft can't be sent,
        !            33: then the `\-forward' switch says that draft should be forwarded with
        !            34: the failure notice sent to the user.
        !            35: This differs from putting \fIsend\fR in the background because the output is
        !            36: trapped and analyzed by \fIMH\fR.
        !            37: 
        !            38: If `\-verbose' is specified, \fIsend\fR will indicate the interactions
        !            39: occurring with the transport system, prior to actual delivery.
        !            40: If `\-watch' is specified \fIsend\fR will monitor the delivery of local and
        !            41: network mail.  Hence, by specifying both switches, a large detail of 
        !            42: information can be gathered about each step of the message's entry into the
        !            43: transport system.
        !            44: 
        !            45: The `\-draftfolder\ +folder' and `\-draftmessage\ msg' switches invoke the
        !            46: \fIMH\fR draft folder facility.
        !            47: This is an advanced (and highly useful) feature.
        !            48: Consult the \fBAdvanced Features\fR section of the \fIMH\fR manual for more
        !            49: information.
        !            50: 
        !            51: \fISend\fR with no \fIfile\fR
        !            52: argument will query whether the draft is the intended file, whereas
        !            53: `\-draft' will suppress this question.
        !            54: Once the transport system has successfully accepted custody of the message,
        !            55: the file will be renamed
        !            56: with a leading comma, which allows it to be retrieved until the
        !            57: next draft message is sent.
        !            58: If there are errors in the
        !            59: formatting of the message, \fIsend\fR will abort with a (hopefully)
        !            60: helpful error message.
        !            61: 
        !            62: If a \*(lqBcc:\*(rq field is encountered,
        !            63: its addresses will be used for delivery,
        !            64: and the \*(lqBcc:\*(rq field will be removed from the message sent to sighted
        !            65: recipients.
        !            66: The blind recipients will receive an entirely new message with
        !            67: a minimal set of headers.
        !            68: Included in the body of the message will be a copy of the message sent to the
        !            69: sighted recipients.
        !            70: If `\-filter\ filterfile' is specified,
        !            71: then this copy is filtered (re\-formatted)
        !            72: prior to being sent to the blind recipients.
        !            73: 
        !            74: Prior to sending the message, the fields \*(lqFrom:\ user@local\*(rq, and
        !            75: \*(lqDate:\ now\*(rq will be appended to the headers in the message.
        !            76: If the environment variable \fB$SIGNATURE\fR is set,
        !            77: then its value is used as your personal name when
        !            78: constructing the \*(lqFrom:\*(rq line of the message.
        !            79: If this environment variable is not set,
        !            80: then \fIsend\fR will consult the profile entry \*(lqSignature\*(rq
        !            81: for this information.
        !            82: On hosts where \fIMH\fR was configured with the UCI option,
        !            83: if \fB$SIGNATURE\fR is not set and the \*(lqSignature\*(rq profile entry
        !            84: is not present,
        !            85: then the file \fB$HOME\fR/.signature is consulted.
        !            86: If `\-msgid' is
        !            87: specified, then a \*(lqMessage\-ID:\*(rq field will also be added to the
        !            88: message.
        !            89: 
        !            90: If \fIsend\fR is re\-distributing a message
        !            91: (when invoked by \fIdist\fR\0),
        !            92: then \*(lqResent\-\*(rq will be prepended to each of these fields:
        !            93: \*(lqFrom:\*(rq, \*(lqDate:\*(rq, and \*(lqMessage\-ID:\*(rq.
        !            94: If the message already contains a \*(lqFrom:\*(rq field, then a
        !            95: \*(lqSender: user@local\*(rq field will be added as well.
        !            96: (An already existing
        !            97: \*(lqSender:\*(rq field is an error!)
        !            98: 
        !            99: By using the `\-format' switch,
        !           100: each of the entries in
        !           101: the \*(lqTo:\*(rq and \*(lqcc:\*(rq fields will be replaced
        !           102: with \*(lqstandard\*(rq format entries.
        !           103: This standard format is designed to be usable by all
        !           104: of the message handlers on the various systems around the
        !           105: Internet.
        !           106: If `\-noformat' is given,
        !           107: then headers are output exactly as they appear in the message draft.
        !           108: 
        !           109: If an \*(lqFcc:\ folder\*(rq is encountered, the message will be copied
        !           110: to the specified folder for the sender in the format in which it will appear
        !           111: to any non\-Bcc receivers of the message.
        !           112: That is, it will have the appended
        !           113: fields and field reformatting.
        !           114: The \*(lqFcc:\*(rq fields will be removed from all outgoing copies of the
        !           115: message.
        !           116: 
        !           117: By using the `\-width\ columns' switch, the user can direct \fIsend\fR as to
        !           118: how long it should make header lines containing addresses.
        !           119: 
        !           120: By using the `\-alias\ aliasfile' switch, the user can direct \fIsend\fR
        !           121: to consult the named files for alias definitions
        !           122: (more than one file, each  preceded by `\-alias', can be named).
        !           123: See \fImh\-alias\fR\0(5) for more information.
