+When started, the editor is started on the draft (unless the
+.B \-edit
+switch with an empty string argument is given,
+in which case the initial edit is suppressed). Then,

and awaits a response. The valid responses are:
.B refile +folder

.TP \w'refilezzzzfolderz'u
-.B mime

-the
-.I buildmimeproc

-.TP \w'refilezzzzfolderz'u
.B display
list the message being distributed/replied\-to
on the terminal
.B send \-watch
send the message and monitor the delivery process
.TP \w'refilezzzzfolderz'u
-.B push
-send the message in the background
-.TP \w'refilezzzzfolderz'u
.B quit

.TP \w'refilezzzzfolderz'u
-.B quit \-delete

.PP
For the
.B send
-and
-.B push
-responses, any valid switch to
+response, any valid switch to
.BR send (1)
-is valid (as
-.B push
-merely invokes
-.B send
-with the
-.B \-push
-option).
+is valid.
.PP
For the
.B refile
-response, any valid switch to the
-.I fileproc
+response, any valid switch to
+.B refile
is valid.
.PP
-For the
-.B display
-and
-.B list
-responses, any valid argument to
-the
-.I lproc
-is valid. If any non\-switch arguments are present, then
-the pathname of the draft will be excluded from the argument list given
-to the
-.I lproc
-(this is useful for listing another
-.B nmh
-message).

.SH BUGS
-The argument to the
-.B \-prompt
-switch must be interpreted as a single
-token by the shell that invokes
-.BR whatnow .
-Therefore, one must
-usually place the argument to this switch inside double\-quotes.
-.PP
If the initial edit fails,
.B whatnow
deletes your draft (by renaming
it with a leading comma); failure of a later edit preserves the draft.
-.PP
-If the
-.I buildmimeproc
-fails (returns a nonzero status),
-.B whatnow
-simply prints a \*(lqWhat now?\*(rq prompt.
-.B whatnow
-depends on the
-.I buildmimeproc
-to tell the user that something went wrong.
-.PP
-If
-.I whatnowproc
-is
-.BR whatnow ,
-then
-.BR comp ,
-.BR dist ,
-.BR forw ,
-and
-.B repl
-use a built\-in
-.BR whatnow ,
-and do not actually run the
-.B whatnow
-program. Hence, if you define your own
-.IR whatnowproc ,
-don't call it
-.B whatnow
-since it won't be run.
-.PP
-If
-.I sendproc
-is
-.BR send ,
-then
-.B whatnow
-uses a built\-in
-.BR send ,
-it does not actually run the
-.B send
-program. Hence, if
-you define your own
-.IR sendproc ,
-don't call it
-.B send
-since
-.B whatnow
-won't run it.
