.SH DESCRIPTION
.B Forw
may be used to prepare a message containing other messages.
.PP
If a file named
.RI \*(lq forwcomps \*(rq
-exists in the user's nmh directory,
+exists in the user's mmh directory,
it will be used instead of this default form. You may also specify an
alternate forms file with the switch
.B \-form
.IR formfile .
.PP
-If the draft already exists,
-.B forw
-will ask you as to the disposition
-of the draft. A reply of
-.B quit
-will abort
-.BR forw ,
-leaving the draft intact;
-.B replace
-will replace the existing draft with a blank skeleton; and
-.B list
-will display the draft.
-.PP
If the
.B \-annotate
switch is given, each message being forwarded will
be annotated with the lines:
-
- Forwarded:\ date
- Forwarded:\ addrs
-
+.PP
+.RS 5
+.nf
+Forwarded:\ date
+Forwarded:\ addrs
+.fi
+.RE
+.PP
where each address list contains as many lines as required. This
annotation will be done only if the message is sent directly from
.BR forw .
.PP
If a file named
.RI \*(lq mhl.forward \*(rq
-exists in the user's nmh
+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
.BR prompter 's
.B \-prepend
switch in the
-.I \&.mh\(ruprofile
+.I .mmh/profile
file, any commentary text is entered
before the forwarded messages. (A major win!)

add this line to your

prior to sending the draft.

-The
-.B \-draftfolder
