MCOM(1) 		     General Commands Manual			 MCOM(1)

NAME
     mcom, mfwd, mbnc, mrep -- compose, forward, bounce, reply, send messages

SYNOPSIS
     mcom [-header values ...] [recipients ...]
     mcom -r [draft]
     mrep [-noquote] [-header values ... --] [msg]
     mfwd [-r] [-header values ... --] [msgs ...]
     mbnc [-header values ... --] [msg]

DESCRIPTION
     mcom creates a new draft message and opens it in an editor.  After editing,
     a	loop  is started where the user can send, re-edit or cancel the message.
     Use `mcom -r' to resume the editing of a draft; by default, the last  modi-
     fied draft will be edited.

     mrep creates the draft such that the message will be a reply to msg (or the
     current  message).  Unless -noquote is passed, it will contain the original
     mail quoted.

     mfwd creates the draft with a subject and body appropriate  for  forwarding
     the   message.   By  default,  messages  are  forwarded  verbatim	as  MIME
     `message/rfc822' attachments.  Use -r to forward as mshow(1) rendered plain
     text, using RFC 934 message encapsulation.

     mbnc creates the draft from the original msg (or the current  message)  in-
     cluding  headers, and adds a Resent-To header, to which the message will be
     bounced directly.	(See mmsg(7) for the message argument syntax.)

     All commands can take optional header flags (which consist of two	or  more
     characters)  to  prefill header fields, e.g. you can use `mcom -to merrilyn
     -cc elea becci -subject 'Party invite'' to create a draft with the  To,  Cc
     and Subject fields already set.  The flag -body file can be used to prepop-
     ulate the draft for mcom and mrep with the contents of file.

     Note that these flags apply to all arguments after them (e.g. `mcom -attach
     *.c'  works), so you need to use `--' when you want to use this feature to-
     gether with mrep, mfwd, or mbnc.

     If the flag -send is passed, the message will be sent  directly  using  the
     data on the command line, and no editor or edit loop will be run.

MENU COMMANDS
     s	 Send the message.  The MIME version will be used when one has been cre-
	 ated.

     c	 Cancel  sending  and  quit,  after displaying the filename of the saved
	 draft.

     m	 Run mmime(1) on the draft, and print the result of mshow -t.

     d	 Delete the draft and quit.

     p	 Preview the draft, using mshow(1).
