WHATNOW(1)			   [mmh-0.4]			    WHATNOW(1)

NAME
       whatnow2	- front-end for	handling drafts

SYNOPSIS

       whatnow [command	|-Version] |-help]

DESCRIPTION
       Whatnow is the default program that queries the user about the disposi-
       tion  of	a composed draft.  It is normally automatically	invoked	by one
       of the mmh commands comp, dist, forw, or	repl after the initial edit.

       When started, the editor	is started on the  draft.  Then,  whatnow  can
       called with one of the commands.

	    edit	     re-edit  using  the  same editor that was used on
			     the  preceding  round  unless  a  profile	 entry
			     `<lasteditor>-next:  <editor>' names an alternate
			     editor

	    edit <editor>    invoke <editor> for further editing

	    list	     list the draft on the terminal

	    display	     list the message being distributed/replied-to  on
			     the terminal

	    whom	     list the recipients of the	message

	    send	     send the message

	    refile +folder   refile the	draft into the given folder

	    delete	     delete the	draft and exit

	    attach files     add  the named files to the draft as MIME attach-
			     ments

	    alist	     list the MIME attachments

	    detach numbers   remove MIME attachments by	number

       When entering your response, you	need only type	enough	characters  to
       uniquely	identify the response.

       For the edit response, any valid	switch to the editor is	valid.

       For the send response, any valid	switch to send(1) is valid.

       For the refile response,	any valid switch to refile is valid.

       See mh-profile(5) for further information about how editors are used by
       mmh.  It	also discusses how environment variables can be	used to	direct
       whatnow's actions in complex ways.

       If  the	initial	 edit fails, no	new draft is created, but any existing
       re-used draft is	preserved.  Failures of	later edits  are  ignored  and
       another prompt is printed.

       Consult the mh-draft(7) man page	for more information.
