24 \fISend\fR will cause each of the specified files to
|
|
|
25 be delivered (via \fIpost\fR\0(8)) to each of the destinations
|
|
|
26 in the \*(lqTo:\*(rq, \*(lqcc:\*(rq, \*(lqBcc:\*(rq, and \*(lqFcc:\*(rq
|
|
|
27 fields of the message.
|
|
|
28 If \fIsend\fR is re\-distributing a message, as invoked from \fIdist\fR,
|
|
|
29 then the corresponding \*(lqResent\-xxx\*(rq fields are examined
|
|
|
30 instead.
|
|
|
31
|
|
|
32 If `\-push' is specified,
|
|
|
33 \fIsend\fR will detach itself from the user's terminal and perform its
|
|
|
34 actions in the background.
|
|
|
35 If \fIpush\fR\0'd and the draft can't be sent,
|
|
|
36 then the `\-forward' switch says that draft should be forwarded with
|
|
|
37 the failure notice sent to the user.
|
|
|
38 This differs from putting \fIsend\fR in the background because the output is
|
|
|
39 trapped and analyzed by \fIMH\fR.
|
|
|
40
|
|
|
41 If `\-verbose' is specified, \fIsend\fR will indicate the interactions
|
|
|
42 occurring with the transport system, prior to actual delivery.
|
|
|
43 If `\-watch' is specified \fIsend\fR will monitor the delivery of local and
|
|
|
44 network mail. Hence, by specifying both switches, a large detail of
|
|
|
45 information can be gathered about each step of the message's entry into the
|
|
|
46 transport system.
|
|
|
47
|
|
|
48 The `\-draftfolder\ +folder' and `\-draftmessage\ msg' switches invoke the
|
|
|
49 \fIMH\fR draft folder facility.
|
|
|
50 This is an advanced (and highly useful) feature.
|
|
|
51 Consult the \fBAdvanced Features\fR section of the \fIMH\fR manual for more
|
|
|
52 information.
|
|
|
53
|
|
|
54 If `\-split' is specified,
|
|
|
55 \fIsend\fR will split the draft into one or more partial messages
|
|
|
56 prior to sending.
|
|
|
57 This makes use of the multi-media content feature in MH.
|
|
|
58 Note however that if \fIsend\fR is invoked under \fIdist\fR\0(1),
|
|
|
59 then this switch is ignored\0--\0it makes no sense to redistribute a
|
|
|
60 message in this fashion.
|
|
|
61 Sometimes you want \fIsend\fR to pause after posting a partial message.
|
|
|
62 This is usually the case when you are running \fIsendmail\fR and
|
|
|
63 expect to generate a lot of partial messages.
|
|
|
64 The argument to `\-split' tells it how long to pause between postings.
|
|
|
65
|
|
|
66 \fISend\fR with no \fIfile\fR
|
|
|
67 argument will query whether the draft is the intended file, whereas
|
|
|
68 `\-draft' will suppress this question.
|
|
|
69 Once the transport system has successfully accepted custody of the message,
|
|
|
70 the file will be renamed
|
|
|
71 with a leading comma, which allows it to be retrieved until the
|
|
|
72 next draft message is sent.
|
|
|
73 If there are errors in the
|
|
|
74 formatting of the message, \fIsend\fR will abort with a (hopefully)
|
|
|
75 helpful error message.
|
|
|
76
|
|
|
77 If a \*(lqBcc:\*(rq field is encountered,
|
|
|
78 its addresses will be used for delivery,
|
|
|
79 and the \*(lqBcc:\*(rq field will be removed from the message sent to sighted
|
|
|
80 recipients.
|
|
|
81 The blind recipients will receive an entirely new message with
|
|
|
82 a minimal set of headers.
|
|
|
83 Included in the body of the message will be a copy of the message sent to the
|
|
|
84 sighted recipients.
|
|
|
85 If `\-filter\ filterfile' is specified,
|
|
|
86 then this copy is filtered (re\-formatted)
|
|
|
87 prior to being sent to the blind recipients.
|
|
|
88 Otherwise,
|
|
|
89 to use the MIME rules for encapsulation,
|
|
|
90 specify the `-mime' switch.
|
|
|
91
|
|
|
92 Prior to sending the message, the fields \*(lqFrom:\ user@local\*(rq, and
|
|
|
93 \*(lqDate:\ now\*(rq will be appended to the headers in the message.
|
|
|
94 If the envariable \fB$SIGNATURE\fR is set,
|
|
|
95 then its value is used as your personal name when
|
|
|
96 constructing the \*(lqFrom:\*(rq line of the message.
|
|
|
97 If this envariable is not set,
|
|
|
98 then \fIsend\fR will consult the profile entry \*(lqSignature\*(rq
|
|
|
99 for this information.
|
|
|
100 On hosts where \fIMH\fR was configured with the UCI option,
|
|
|
101 if \fB$SIGNATURE\fR is not set and the \*(lqSignature\*(rq profile entry
|
|
|
102 is not present,
|
|
|
103 then the file \fB$HOME\fR/.signature is consulted.
|
|
|
104 If `\-msgid' is
|
|
|
105 specified, then a \*(lqMessage\-ID:\*(rq field will also be added to the
|
|
|
106 message.
|
|
|
107
|
|
|
108 If \fIsend\fR is re\-distributing a message
|
|
|
109 (when invoked by \fIdist\fR\0),
|
|
|
110 then \*(lqResent\-\*(rq will be prepended to each of these fields:
|
|
|
111 \*(lqFrom:\*(rq, \*(lqDate:\*(rq, and \*(lqMessage\-ID:\*(rq.
|
|
|
112 If the message already contains a \*(lqFrom:\*(rq field, then a
|
|
|
113 \*(lqSender: user@local\*(rq field will be added as well.
|
|
|
114 (An already existing
|
|
|
115 \*(lqSender:\*(rq field is an error!)
|
|
|
116
|
|
|
117 By using the `\-format' switch,
|
|
|
118 each of the entries in
|
|
|
119 the \*(lqTo:\*(rq and \*(lqcc:\*(rq fields will be replaced
|
|
|
120 with \*(lqstandard\*(rq format entries.
|
|
|
121 This standard format is designed to be usable by all
|
|
|
122 of the message handlers on the various systems around the
|
|
|
123 Internet.
|
|
|
124 If `\-noformat' is given,
|
|
|
125 then headers are output exactly as they appear in the message draft.
|
|
|
126
|
|
|
127 If an \*(lqFcc:\ folder\*(rq is encountered, the message will be copied
|
|
|
128 to the specified folder for the sender in the format in which it will appear
|
|
|
129 to any non\-Bcc receivers of the message.
|
|
|
130 That is, it will have the appended
|
|
|
131 fields and field reformatting.
|
|
|
132 The \*(lqFcc:\*(rq fields will be removed from all outgoing copies of the
|
|
|
133 message.
|
|
|
134
|
|
|
135 By using the `\-width\ columns' switch, the user can direct \fIsend\fR as to
|
|
|
136 how long it should make header lines containing addresses.
|
|
|
137
|
|
|
138 The files specified by the profile entry \*(lqAliasfile:\*(rq and any
|
|
|
139 additional alias files given by the `\-alias aliasfile' switch will be read
|
|
|
140 (more than one file, each preceeded by `\-alias', can be named).
|
|
|
