.SH DESCRIPTION
.B Send
will cause each of the specified files to be delivered
to each of the destinations in the \*(lqTo:\*(rq, \*(lqcc:\*(rq,
-\*(lqBcc:\*(rq, and \*(lqFcc:\*(rq fields of the message. If
+\*(lqBcc:\*(rq, \*(lqDcc:\*(rq, and \*(lqFcc:\*(rq fields of the message. If
.B send
is re\-distributing a message, as invoked from
.BR dist ,
.B send
are actually performed by
.BR post .
+
+.PP
+If a
+.I header-field-name
+is supplied using the
+.B -attach
+option, the draft is scanned for a header whose field name matches the
+supplied
+.IR header-field-name .
+The draft is converted to a MIME message if one or more matches are found.
+This conversion occurs before all other processing.
+.PP
+The first part of the MIME message is the draft body if that body contains
+any non-blank characters.
+The body of each header field whose name matches the
+.I header-field-name
+is interpreted as a file name, and each file named is included as a separate
+part in the MIME message.
+.PP
+For file names with dot suffixes, the context is scanned for a
+.I mhshow-suffix-
+entry for that suffix.
+The content-type for the part is taken from that context entry if a match is
+found.
+If no match is found or the file does not have a dot suffix, the content-type
+is text/plain if the file contains only ASCII characters or application/octet-stream
+if it contains characters outside of the ASCII range.
+.PP
+Each part contains a name attribute that is the last component of the path name.
+A
+.I x-unix-mode
+attribute containing the file mode accompanies each part.
+Finally, a description attribute is generated by running the
+.I file
+command on the file.
+.PP
+The
+.B -attachformat
+option specifies the MIME header field formats: a value of
+.B 0,
+the default,
+includes the
+.I x-unix-mode
+attribute as noted above. A value of
+.B 1
+suppresses both that and the \*(lqContent-Description\*(rq header, and
+adds a \*(lqContent-Disposition\*(rq header. A value of
+.B 2
+adds the file
+.I modification-date
+parameter to the \*(lqContent-Disposition\*(rq header. You can
+specify one value in your profile, and override it for individual
+messages at the
+.I whatnow
+prompt.
+.PP
+Here are example message part headers for each of the
+.B -attachformat
+values:
+.PP
+.nf
+-attachformat 0:
+Content-Type: text/plain; name="VERSION"; x-unix-mode="0644";
+ charset="us-ascii"
+Content-Description: ASCII text
+
+-attachformat 1:
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
+Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="VERSION"
+
+-attachformat 2:
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
+Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="VERSION"; modification-date="Mon, 19 Dec 2005 22:39:51 -0600"

.B \-push
sent to sighted recipients. The blind recipients will receive an entirely
new message with a minimal set of headers. Included in the body of the
message will be a copy of the message sent to the sighted recipients.
+.PP
+If a \*(lqDcc:\*(rq field is encountered, its addresses will be used for
+delivery, and the \*(lqDcc:\*(rq field will be removed from the message. The
+blind recipients will receive the same message sent to the sighted
+recipients. *WARNING* Recipients listed in the \*(lqDcc:\*(rq field receive no
+explicit indication that they have received a \*(lqblind copy\*(rq.
+This can cause blind recipients to
+inadvertently reply to all of the sighted recipients of the
+original message, revealing that they received a blind copy.
+On the other hand, since a normal reply to a message sent
+via a \*(lqBcc:\*(rq field
+will generate a reply only to the sender of the original message,
+it takes extra effort in most mailers to reply to the included
+message, and so would usually only be done deliberately, rather
+than by accident.
