+.B Send

-the
-.B nmh
-draft folder facility. This is an advanced (and highly
-useful) feature. Consult the

+.B Send
+always takes messages from the draft folder.

-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

-.B Send

Once the transport system has successfully accepted custody of the

.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
+).
