That line is called a directive. It tells nmh to forward a message.
After you get it in the draft, you use:
What now? mime
to encode the draft into MIME. (You also can set up nmh to do this
step automatically when you send the message.)
For an overview of how to send MIME messages in MH, see the online
MH book at http://www.ics.uci.edu/~mh/book/mh/usimim.htm#SeMIMa
