WHOM(1)             RISC/os Reference Manual              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 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.

FILES
     $HOME/.mh_profile                 The user profile

PROFILE COMPONENTS
     Draft-Folder:        To find the default draft-folder
     postproc:            Program to post the message

SEE ALSO
     mh-alias(5), post(8)

DEFAULTS
     `file' defaults to <mh-dir>/draft
     `-nocheck'
     `-alias /usr/new/lib/mh/MailAliases'

CONTEXT
     None

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 abso-
     lute; for network addresses, it means that the host is
     known; for uucp addresses, it (often) means that the UUCP
     network is available for use.
