66 \fIWhom\fR is used to expand the headers of a message into a set of addresses
67 and optionally verify that those addresses are deliverable at that time
68 (if `\-check' is given).
70 The `\-draftfolder\ +folder' and `\-draftmessage\ msg' switches invoke the
71 \fIMH\fR draft folder facility.
72 This is an advanced (and highly useful) feature.

101 With the `\-check' option, \fIwhom\fR makes no guarantees that the addresses
102 listed as being ok are really deliverable, rather, an address being listed
103 as ok means that at the time that \fIwhom\fR was run the address was
104 thought to be deliverable by the transport service. For local addresses, this
105 is absolute; for network addresses, it means that the host is known; for uucp
106 addresses, it (often) means that the \fIUUCP\fR network is available for use.
