.SH DESCRIPTION
.B Send
-will cause each of the specified files to be delivered
+will cause each of the specified messages 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 an attachment, 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; 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"

-The
-.B \-draftfolder
-.I +folder
-and
-.B \-draftmessage
+.B Send
+with no
.I msg
-switches invoke
-the
-.B nmh
-draft folder facility. This is an advanced (and highly
-useful) feature. Consult the
+argument will send the current message in the draft folder.
+.B Send
+always takes messages from the draft folder.
+(But, a
+.I +folder
+argument might be added in the future.)
+Consult the
.BR mh-draft (5)
-man page for more
-information.
-.PP
-If
-.B \-split
-is specified,
-.B send
-will split the draft into one
-or more partial messages prior to sending. This makes use of the
-MIME features in
-.BR nmh .
-Note however that if
-.B send
-is
-invoked under
-.BR dist ,
-then this switch is ignored\0--\0it makes
-no sense to redistribute a message in this fashion. Sometimes you want
-.B send
-to pause after posting a partial message. This is usually
-the case when you are running
-.B sendmail
-and expect to generate a
-lot of partial messages. The argument to
-.B \-split
-tells it how long
-to pause between postings.
+man page for more information.
.PP
-.B Send
-with no
-.I file
-argument will query whether the draft
-is the intended file, whereas
-.B \-draft
-will suppress this question.
Once the transport system has successfully accepted custody of the
-message, the file will be renamed with a leading comma, which allows
+message, the message will be renamed with a leading comma, which allows
it to be retrieved until the next draft message is sent. If there are
errors in the formatting of the message,
.B send
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.

as to how long it should make header lines containing addresses.
.PP
-If
-.B nmh
-has been compiled with SASL support, the
-.B \-sasl
-switch will enable
-the use of SASL authentication with the SMTP MTA. Depending on the
-SASL mechanism used, this may require an additional password prompt from the
-user (but the
-.RI \*(lq \&.netrc \*(rq
-file can be used to store this password).
-.B \-saslmech
-switch can be used to select a particular SASL mechanism,
-and the the
-.B \-user
-switch can be used to select a authorization userid
-to provide to SASL other than the default.
-.PP
-Currently SASL security layers are not supported for SMTP.
-.BR nmh 's
-SMTP SASL code
-will always negotiate an unencrypted connection. This means that while the SMTP
-authentication can be encrypted, the subsequent data stream can not. This is in
-contrast to
-.BR nmh 's
-POP3 SASL support, where encryption is supported for both the
-authentication and the data stream.
+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
+).
