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 information. 
 
By using the ‘−alias aliasfile’ switch, the user can direct send to consult the named files for alias definitions (more than one file, each  preceeded by ‘−alias’, can be named).  See mh−alias (5) for more information.  ^$HOME/.mh_profile~^The user profile ^Draft−Folder:~^To find the default draft−folder ^postproc:~^Program to post the message mh−alias(5), post(8) ‘file’ defaults to <mh−dir>/draft ‘−nocheck’ ‘−alias /usr/new/lib/mh/MailAliases’ None 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.
