DESCRIPTION
The mhmail program is intended as a replacement for the standard mail
programs, bellmail and ucbmail. See binmail(1) and mail(1) for more
details of these mail programs. When invoked without arguments, it sim‐
ply invokes inc to incorporate new messages from the user's maildrop.
When one or more users is specified, a message is read from the stan‐
dard input and spooled to a temporary file. The mhmail program then
invokes post with the name of the temporary file as its argument to
deliver the message to the specified user.
Normally, people will use comp and send to send messages.
RESTRICTIONS
Messages with a null body part will not be sent by mhmail. You must
include some body text in all messages to be sent by mhmail.
For this version, the -mts option only supports the value smtp. Addi‐
tional values are supported for use only with other mail systems.
FILES
Program to incorporate a maildrop into a folder. Program to deliver a
message. Temporary copy of message.
