-Although
-.B forw
-uses a forms (components) file to direct it how to
-construct the beginning of the draft, it uses a message filter file to
-direct it as to how each forwarded message should be formatted in the
-body of the draft. The filter file for \fIforw\fR should be a standard
-form file for
-.BR mhl ,
-as
-.B forw
-will invoke
-.B mhl
-to filter (re\-format) the forwarded messages prior to being output to
-the body of the draft.
-.PP
-The switches
-.BR \-noformat ,
-.BR \-format ,
-and
-.B \-filter
-.I filterfile
-specify which message filter file to use.
-.PP
-If
-.B \-noformat
-is specified (this is the default), then each forwarded
-message is output into the draft exactly as it appears with no
-.B mhl
-filtering.
-.PP
-If
-.B \-format
-is specified, then a default message filter file is used.
-This default message filter should be adequate for most users.
-This default filter
-.RI \*(lq mhl.forward \*(rq
-is:
-.PP
-.RS 5
-.nf
-%mhl_forward%
-.fi
-.RE
-.PP
-If a file named
-.RI \*(lq mhl.forward \*(rq
-exists in the user's mmh
-directory, it will be used instead of this form. You may specify an
-alternate message filter file with the switch
-.B \-filter
-.IR filterfile .
-.PP
-Each forwarded message is separated with an encapsulation delimiter.
-By default, any dashes in the first column of the forwarded messages
-will be prepended with `\-\ ' so that when received, the message is
-suitable for bursting by
-.BR burst .
-This follows the Internet RFC\-934 guidelines. You may use the flag
-.B \-nodashstuffing
-in order
-to suppress this form of quoting to the forwarded messages.
-.PP
-For users of
-.BR prompter ,
-by specifying
-.BR prompter 's
-.B \-prepend
-switch in the
-.I .mmh/profile
-file, any commentary text is entered
-before the forwarded messages. (A major win!)
-.PP
-To use the MIME rules for encapsulation, specify the
-.B \-mime
-switch. This directs
-.B forw
-to generate an
-.B mhbuild
-composition file. Note that
-.B nmh
-will not invoke
-.B mhbuild
-automatically, unless you
-add this line to your
-.I .mmh/profile
-file:
