whom(1) General Commands Manual whom(1)
NAME
whom - report to whom a message is addressed (only available within the message handling system, mh)
SYNOPSIS
whom [options] [file]
OPTIONS
Specifies the alias file to be consulted by whom. If you have used one or more aliases in your message header, whom will consult the named
file to find those aliases, and will print the full addresses as its output. You can reference more than one file, but each file name must
be preceded by the word -alias. See mh-alias(4) for more information. Checks that the addresses are valid. whom makes no guarantees that
the addresses listed as being correct are really deliverable: rather, an address being listed as correct means that at the time that whom
was run, the address was thought to be deliverable by the transport service. For local addresses, this means that the local user does
exist, and that the address was deliverable at the time of checking. For network and uucp addresses, it means that the syntax of the
address is valid. Sets the draft message to be the standard file draft in your Mail directory. Specifies the folder in which whom
searches for the draft message. The default is to use the current message in the named folder. You can select another message by using the
-draftmessage option. For more information on using a draft folder, see comp(1). The -draftfolder option is often set up in your user pro-
file; see mh_profile(4) for more information. Specifies the draft message to be used. If you specify a folder with the -draftfolder
option, the -draftmessage option takes the number of a message in that folder. If you do not specify a folder, -draftmessage takes the name
of a file. If you do not give an absolute pathname (one beginning with a / or or ), -draftmessage assumes that the file is located in your
Mail directory. Prints a list of the valid options to this command. Specifies the format of the addresses to be checked. The only value
allowed is smtp, which checks that addresses are deliverable over the standard mail system. Additional values are supported only for use
with other mail systems.
The defaults for this command are:
file defaults to <mh-dir>/draft -nocheck -alias /usr/lib/mh/MailAliases -mts smtp
DESCRIPTION
The whom command is used to expand the headers of a message into a set of addresses, and optionally to verify that those addresses are
deliverable at that time if -check is given.
The whom command is often invoked as one of the options offered by the whatnow program when you have finished editing a draft message. See
whatnow(1) for more details.
If you want to run whom on a named file, you can supply a file argument. This argument allows you to specify a named file; if you want to
run whom on an existing message, use the -draftfolder and -draftmessage options. If you do not give an absolute pathname (one beginning
with a / or or ), whom assumes that the named file is in your current working directory.
RESTRICTIONS
For this version, the -mts option only supports the value smtp. Additional values are supported for use only with other mail systems.
PROFILE COMPONENTS
Path: To determine your MH directory (mh-dir)
Draft-Folder: To find the default draft-folder
postproc: Program to post the message
EXAMPLES
In the following example, whom would use the current message in the +drafts folder: % whom -draftfolder +drafts
smith: address OK In the next example, whom searches for message 2 in the folder +drafts: % whom -draftfolder +drafts -draftmessage 2
davis@hostname: address OK
FILES
The user profile.
