DESCRIPTION

The mhmail command is used to incorporate messages and compose messages.  The
mhmail command is part of the Message Handling (MH) package and can be used
with MH and AIX commands.

The mhmail command entered by itself incorporates messages from your mailbox.
If you specify user addresses, mhmail accepts text from your terminal and
composes a message.  You can end the message text by pressing the END OF FILE
key.  The mhmail command sends a copy of the message to each specified address.

FLAGS

-body string      Sends a message with string as the body.  When you specify
                  -body, the mhmail command does not accept text from the
                  terminal.

-cc users         Sends a copy of the message to the specified users.  The
                  mhmail command puts the addresses in the cc: field of the
                  message.
