.SH DESCRIPTION
.B Send
.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.
+The draft is scanned for attachment header fields.
+Their name defaults to ``Attach'', but may be changed by the value of the
+.I Attachment-Header
+profile entry.
+If such header fields are found, or the body contains non-ASCII characters,
+the message is converted to a MIME message.
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.
+The first part of the MIME message is the draft body if the body is non-empty.
+The body of each attachment header field 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-
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.
+is text/plain if the file contains only ASCII characters or
+application/octet-stream otherwise.
.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 an attachment, for each of the
-.B -attachformat
-values:
+The last component of the path name is taken as the name of the MIME parts.
+A message part header for an attachment might be:
.PP

--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; name="VERSION"; charset="us-ascii"
Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="VERSION"

--attachformat 2:
-Content-Type: text/plain; name="VERSION"; charset="us-ascii"
-Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="VERSION"; modification-date="Mon, 19 Dec 2005 22:39:51 -0600"

and the draft can't be sent, then an error message will be sent (using
-the mailproc) back to the user. If
+.BR mhmail )
+back to the user. If
.B \-forward
is given, then a copy
of the draft will be attached to this failure notice. Using
message, and so would usually only be done deliberately, rather
than by accident.
.PP
-If
-.B \-filter
-.I filterfile
-is specified, then this copy is filtered
-(re\-formatted) by
-.B mhl
-prior to being sent to the blind recipients.
-Alternately, if you specify the
-.B -mime
-switch, then
-.B send
-will
-use the MIME rules for encapsulation.
-.PP
Prior to sending the message, the fields \*(lqFrom:\ user@local\*(rq,
and \*(lqDate:\ now\*(rq will be appended to the headers in the message.
If the environment variable
.B send
will consult the profile entry \*(lqSignature\*(rq for
this information.
-If
-.B \-msgid
-is specified, then a \*(lqMessage\-ID:\*(rq field will also
-be added to the message.
.PP
If
.B send
\*(lqSender: user@local\*(rq field will be added as well. (An already
existing \*(lqSender:\*(rq field is an error!)
.PP
-By using the
-.B \-format
-switch, each of the entries in the \*(lqTo:\*(rq
-and \*(lqCc:\*(rq fields will be replaced with \*(lqstandard\*(rq
-format entries. This standard format is designed to be usable by all
-of the message handlers on the various systems around the Internet.
-If
-.B \-noformat
-is given, then headers are output exactly as they appear
-in the message draft.
-.PP
If an \*(lqFcc:\ folder\*(rq is encountered, the message will be copied
to the specified folder for the sender in the format in which it will
appear to any non\-Bcc receivers of the message. That is, it will have
the appended fields and field reformatting. The \*(lqFcc:\*(rq fields
will be removed from all outgoing copies of the message.
.PP
-By using the
-.B \-width
-.I columns
-switch, the user can direct
-.B send
-as to how long it should make header lines containing addresses.
-.PP
-If nmh is using the SMTP MTA, the
-.B \-server
-and the
-.B \-port
-switches can be used to override the default mail server (defined by the
-.RI servers
-entry in
-.I %etcdir%/mts.conf
-).
-.PP

additional alias files given by the
