.SH DESCRIPTION
-\fImhmail\fR is intended as a replacement for the standard Berkeley
-mail program (\fImail\fR(1) or \fImailx\fR(1)), which is compatible
-with \fInmh\fR. This program is intended for the use of programs such
-as \fIcron\fR(1), which expect to send mail automatically to various
-users. It is also used by various \fInmh\fR commands to mail various
-error notifications. Although \fImhmail\fR can be used interactively,
-it is recommended that \fIcomp\fR(1) and \fIsend\fR(1) be used instead
-to send messages.
-
-When invoked without arguments, it simply invokes \fIinc\fR(1) to
-incorporate new messages from the user's maildrop. When one or more users

+When invoked without arguments, it simply invokes
+.B inc
+to incorporate new messages from the user's maildrop. When one or more users
is specified, a message is read from the standard input and spooled to
-a temporary file. \fImhmail\fR then invokes \fIpost\fR(8) with the
+a temporary file.
+.B mhmail
+then invokes
+.B post
+with the
name of the temporary file as its argument to deliver the message to
the specified user.
