DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The  mhmail  program  is intended as a replacement for the
       standard mail programs, bellmail  and  ucbmail.  See  binmail(1)  and  mail(1)  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.
       The mhmail program then invokes post with the name of  the
       temporary  file  as its argument to deliver the message to
       the specified user.

       Normally, people will use comp and send to send  messages.

       For  this version, the -mts option only supports the value
       smtp. Additional values are supported for  use  only  with
       other mail systems.
