.SH DESCRIPTION
.B Forw
may be used to prepare a message containing other messages.
.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
prior to sending the draft.
.PP
-The
-.B \-draftfolder
-.I +folder
-and
-.B \-draftmessage
-.I msg
-switches invoke the
-.B nmh
-draft folder facility. This is an advanced (and highly
-useful) feature. Consult the
+Consult the
.BR mh-draft (5)
man page for more information.
.PP
The
.B \-file
.I msgfile
-switch specifies the message to be forwarded as an
+switch specifies the message to be forwarded as an
exact filename rather than as an
.B nmh
-folder and message number. It is
+folder and message number. It is
intended to be used by the
.B msh
interface to
-.BR nmh .
+.BR nmh .
This switch implies
.BR \-noannotate .
The forwarded message is simply
.BR \-mime ,
and
.B \-digest
-switches is bypassed, and the usual leading and trailing
-'Forwarded Message' delimiters are not added.
+switches is bypassed, and the usual leading and
+trailing 'Forwarded Message' delimiters are not added.
The same caveats apply to this option as to the
.B \-build
switch.
