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 modified 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) including 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 -bodyfile can be used to prepopulate 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 together 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.
