      standard input is not read.

      Specifies addresses to be placed in the cc: field of the message.

      given is placed in the From: field of the message. The Sender: field is
      filled in correctly by post.

  -help

  -mts smtp
      Specifies the mail system over which mail is sent. The only value

  -subject text

DESCRIPTION
  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.

RESTRICTIONS
  Messages with a null body part will not be sent by mhmail.  You must
  include some body text in all messages to be sent by mhmail.

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

FILES
  /usr/bin/mh/inc
      Program to incorporate a maildrop into a folder.

  /usr/lib/mh/post
      Program to deliver a message.

  /tmp/mhmail*
      Temporary copy of message.
