NAME
whom - report to whom a message would go

SYNOPSIS
whom [-alias aliasfile] [-check] [-nocheck] [-draft]
[-draftfolder +folder] [-draftmessage msg]
[-nodraftfolder] [file] [-version] [-help]

DESCRIPTION
Whom is used to expand the headers of a message into a set of addresses and optionally verify that those addresses are deliverable at that time (if `-check' is given). The `-draftfolder +folder' and `-draftmessage msg' switches invoke the nmh draft folder facility. This is an advanced (and highly useful) feature. Consult the mh-draft(5) man page for more information. The files specified by the profile entry “Aliasfile:” and any additional alias files given by the `-alias aliasfile' switch will be read (more than one file, each preceeded by `-alias', can be named). See mh-alias (5) for more information. ^$HOME/.mh_profile~^The user profile ^Path:~^To determine the user's nmh directory ^Draft-Folder:~^To find the default draft-folder ^Aliasfile:~^For a default alias file ^postproc:~^Program to post the message mh-alias(5), post(8) `file' defaults to <mh-dir>/draft `-nocheck' `-alias /usr/local/lib/nmh/MailAliases' None With the `-check' option, whom makes no guarantees that the addresses listed as being ok are really deliverable, rather, an address being listed as ok means that at the time that whom was run the address was thought to be deliverable by the transport service. For local addresses, this is absolute; for network addresses, it means that the host is known; for uucp addresses, it (often) means that the UUCP network is available for use.
