mhmail(1mh)
Name
mhmail − send or read mail
Syntax
mhmail [addrs ...] [−body text] [−cc addrs ..] [−from addr] [−subject subject] [−help]
Description
mhmail is intended as a replacement for the standard mail programs, bellmail and ucbmail. See binmail() and mail() for more details of these mail programs. When invoked without arguments, it simply invokes inc to incorporate new messages from the user’s maildrop. When one or more users is specified, a message is read from the standard input and spooled to a temporary file. mhmail then invokes post with the name of the temporary file as its argument to deliver the message to the specified user.
Options
The −subject subject switch can be used to specify the Subject: field of the message. The −body text switch can be used to specify the text of the message; if it is specified, then the standard input is not read. Normally, addresses appearing as arguments are put in the To: field. If the −cc switch is used, all addresses following it are placed in the cc: field.
By using −from addr, you can specify the From: header of the draft. post fills in the Sender: header correctly.
Normally, people will use comp and send to send messages.
