SEND(1MH)               COMMAND REFERENCE               SEND(1MH)



NAME
     send - send a message

SYNOPSIS
     send [ filename ][ -draft ][ -help ][ -verbose ][ -backup ][
     -remove ][ -write ]
     [ -wait ][ -nobackup ][ -noremove ][ -nowrite ][ -nowait ]

DESCRIPTION
     Send will cause the specified file (default <mh-dir>/draft)
     to be delivered to each of the addresses in the To:, Cc:,
     and Bcc: fields of the message.  If -verbose is specified,
     send will monitor the delivery of local and net mail.  Send
     with no argument will query whether the draft is the
     intended file, whereas -draft will suppress this question.

     If a Bcc: field is encountered, its addresses will be used
     for delivery, but the Bcc: field itself will be deleted from
     all copies of the outgoing message.  Prior to sending the
     message, the fields From: user, and Date: now will be
     prepended to the message.

     Once the message has been mailed (or queued) successfully,
     the file will be renamed with a leading comma, which allows
     it to be retrieved until the next draft message is sent.
     The flag -nobackup will cause the draft to be removed and no
     backup will be kept.

     If -nowait is specified, then send will return immediately
     otherwise it will wait for the mail to be delivered.  The
     mail delivery program (sendmail) will print out any error
     messages directly, but if -nowait is specified the error
     messages will be mailed back.  The option -write tells the
     delivery program to write the errors back to the terminal.

     Normally, the sender's name is removed from any alias
     expansions, but if -noremove is specified the sender will be
     included.

     If an Fcc: folder is encountered, the message will be copied
     to the specified folder in the format in which it will
     appear to any receivers of the message.  That is, it will
     have the prepended fields and field reformatting.

     Your .mh_profile can contain the following entries:

          Path: To determine the user's MH directory
