If -.B send -is re\-distributing a message, as invoked from -.BR dist , -then the -corresponding \*(lqResent\-xxx\*(rq fields are examined instead. -.PP -By default, -.B send -uses the program -.B post -to do the actual -delivery of the messages, although this can be changed by defining the -.I postproc -profile component. Most of the features attributed to -.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" -.fi -.PP -If -.B \-push -is specified, -.B send -will detach itself from the user's -terminal and perform its actions in the background. If -.BR push 'd -and the draft can't be sent, then an error message will be sent (using -the mailproc) back to the user. If -.B \-forward -is given, then a copy -of the draft will be attached to this failure notice. Using -.B \-push -differs from putting -.B send -in the background because the output is -trapped and analyzed by -.BR nmh . -.PP -If -.B \-verbose -is specified, -.B send -will indicate the interactions -occurring with the transport system, prior to actual delivery. -If -.B \-watch -is specified -.B send -will monitor the delivery of local -and network mail. Hence, by specifying both switches, a large detail -of information can be gathered about each step of the message's entry -into the transport system. -.PP -.B Send -with no -.I msg -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 -Once the transport system has successfully accepted custody of the -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 -will abort with a -(hopefully) helpful error message. -.PP -If a \*(lqBcc:\*(rq field is encountered, its addresses will be used for -delivery, and the \*(lqBcc:\*(rq field will be removed from the message -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. -.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 $SIGNATURE -is set, then its value -is used as your personal name when constructing the \*(lqFrom:\*(rq -line of the message. If this environment variable is not set, then -.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 -is re\-distributing a message (when invoked by -.BR dist ), -then \*(lqResent\-\*(rq will be prepended to each of these -fields: \*(lqFrom:\*(rq, \*(lqDate:\*(rq, and \*(lqMessage\-ID:\*(rq. -If the message already contains a \*(lqFrom:\*(rq field, then a -\*(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 -The files specified by the profile entry \*(lqAliasfile:\*(rq and any -additional alias files given by the -.B \-alias -.I aliasfile -switch will be -read (more than one file, each preceded by -.BR \-alias , -can be named). -See -.BR mh\-alias (5) -for more information. - -.SH FILES -.fc ^ ~ -.nf -.ta \w'%etcdir%/ExtraBigFileName 'u -^$HOME/.mmh/profile~^The user profile -^+drafts~^The draft folder -.fi - -.SH "PROFILE COMPONENTS" -.fc ^ ~ -.nf -.ta 2.4i -.ta \w'ExtraBigProfileName 'u -^Path:~^To determine the user's mail storage -^Draft\-Folder:~^To set the default draft\-folder -^Aliasfile:~^For a default alias file -^Signature:~^To determine the user's mail signature -^mailproc:~^Program to post failure notices -^postproc:~^Program to post the message -.fi - -.SH "SEE ALSO" -comp(1), dist(1), forw(1), repl(1), mh\-alias(5), post(8) - -.SH DEFAULTS -.nf -.RB ` msg "' defaults to the current message in the draft folder" -.RB ` \-nofilter ' -.RB ` \-format ' -.RB ` \-forward ' -.RB ` \-nomime ' -.RB ` \-nomsgid ' -.RB ` \-nopush ' -.RB ` \-noverbose ' -.RB ` \-nowatch ' -.RB ` "\-width\ 72" ' -.RB ` "\-attachformat\ 0" ' -.fi - -.SH CONTEXT -None - -.SH BUGS -Under some configurations, it is not possible to monitor the mail delivery -transaction; -.B \-watch -is a no-op on those systems.
