mhmail(1) has been replaced on master.
SYNOPSIS
mhmail [addrs ...] [-body text] [-cc addrs ...] [-from addr]
[-subject subject]
[switches for post ... | [-profile [switches for send ...]]
[-version] [-help] [-debug]
It has these differences from the old mhmail:
* Instead of silently not sending an empty message, notifies user
"mhmail: empty message not sent, use -body '' to force."
* The old mhmail dropped a trailing newline from the -body argument.
* Supports all post(8) (by default, without -profile) or send(1)
(with -profile) options.
* Optionally (with -profile) obeys the users profile, including
AliasFile and send entries.
* Adds -debug option for debugging (sending, not incorporating new mail).
* Drops support for undocumented -queue option.
To do:
* add support for undocumented -resent old mhmail switch
* add -attach file ... switch
May I be so bold as to suggest additional switches:
-send -and -nosend (with -send being the default, if you like)
--foo bar (adds a component named "foo" with value, "bar". (This notation is
analogous to one used in pick).
-file path (where the draft goes) (implies -nosend)
With those features the program becomes a fairly powerful draft generation
utility. What you have is already very close to that).
