Re: [Nmh-workers] Minor gripe about send man page

2016-10-24 02:58:34
Hi Ken,

But to answer [Norm's] question ... the division of labor is kind of
like the division between show(1) and mhl(1); send(1) takes a message
and maybe does some minor processing on it (or splits it up), and then
passes the file off to post(8) to actually send it (post takes a
filename, _not_ a folder and message number).

I had a skim of their man pages.  So if one's writing a postproc then
post(8)'s interface has to be implemented?  I wonder if send(1)'s
SYNOPSIS should separate out the arguments.  Those it handles.  Those
that affect its behaviour and also get past to post.  Those it ignores
other than to pass to post.
