FORW(1MH)               COMMAND REFERENCE               FORW(1MH)



NAME
     forw - forward messages

SYNOPSIS
     forw [ +folder ] [ msgs ] [ -editor editor ] [ -form
     formfile ] [ -annotate ]
     [ -noannotate ] [ -inplace ] [ -noinplace ] [ -wait ] [
     -nowait ] [ -output ]
     [ -nooutput ] [ -build ] [ -help ]

DESCRIPTION
     Forw prepares a mail message containing other messages.
     Forw constructs the new message from the components file or
     from formfile (specified with the -form option) with a body
     composed of the message(s) to be forwarded.  An editor is
     invoked (as described in comp(1mh)), and after editing is
     complete, you are prompted before the message is sent.

     If you specify the -annotate option, each message being
     forwarded is annotated with the lines:

          Forwarded: date
          Forwarded: To: names
          Forwarded: cc: names

     Each 'To:' and 'cc:' list contains as many lines as required
     to list names.  This annotation is done only if you send the
     message directly from forw.  If you don't send the forwarded
     message, you can use comp -use in a later session to re-edit
     and send the message, but the annotations won't take place.

     Your .mh_profile file may contain the following entries:

          Path: Your MH mail directory
          Editor: Overrides the default editor, /bin/prompter
          Current-Folder: The default current folder
          <lasteditor>-next: The editor used after exit from <lasteditor>

     Forw has the following defaults:

          +folder defaults to the current folder
          msgs defaults to cur (the current message)
          -editor defaults to /bin/prompter
          -noannotate
          -noinplace
          -wait
          -output

OPTIONS
     -annotate
        Each message being forwarded is annotated with the lines

          Forwarded: date
          Forwarded: To: names

     -editor editor
        Use editor instead of the default text editor.  See

        Use formfile (from your MH directory) as the skeleton
        format.

        Display a synopsis of the forw command.

     -inplace
        Annotate a message in place to preserve its links.

     -noannotate
        Don't add annotations to forwarded messages.

     -noinplace
        Do not annotate a message in place.

     +folder
        Folder becomes the current folder, and the first message
        being forwarded becomes the current message.

     -wait
        Wait until the message is sent before terminating.

     -nowait
        Terminate immediately after selecting send at the What

        Don't print error messages.
