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