WHOM(1)                       [mh.6]                      WHOM(1)


NAME
       whom - report to whom a message would go

SYNOPSIS
       whom   [-alias aliasfile]   [-check]  [-nocheck]  [-draft]
            [-draftfolder +folder]            [-draftmessage msg]
            [-nodraftfolder] [file] [-help]

DESCRIPTION
       Whom is used to expand the headers of a message into a set
       of addresses and optionally verify  that  those  addresses
       are deliverable at that time (if `-check' is given).

       The    `-draftfolder +folder'    and   `-draftmessage msg'
       switches invoke the MH draft folder facility.  This is  an
       advanced   (and   highly  useful)  feature.   Consult  the
       Advanced Features section of the MH manual for more infor-
       mation.

       By  using  the  `-alias aliasfile'  switch,  the  user can
       direct send to consult the named files for  alias  defini-
       tions  (more  than  one file, each  preceeded by `-alias',
       can be named).  See mh-alias (5) for more information.

BUGS
       With the `-check' option, whom makes  no  guarantees  that
       the  addresses  listed as being ok are really deliverable,
       rather, an address being listed as ok means  that  at  the
       time  that  whom  was  run  the  address was thought to be
       deliverable  by  the   transport   service.    For   local
       addresses,  this  is  absolute;  for network addresses, it
       means that the host  is  known;  for  uucp  addresses,  it
       (often)  means that the UUCP network is available for use.
