So I guess this is partially the fault of the way nmh works; whatnow does some things (and implements the "attach" command) but the real mechanics are handled by "send". Sure, once you KNOW that what attach does is add a special header, the information in the send man page makes more sense. >In my humble (but correct :-) opinion there should be an attach >man page. It would, at the very least give the basic idea, (attach >generates certain headers which send understands), the syntax of the >command, and pointers to other man pages. See, I'm not so sure about that. It's not a new command that happens at the shell prompt; I think more information about it belongs in the whatnow man page. I know there's a man page for "send", but that's because it's a command. But I do appreciate the feedback; let me offer a counter-suggestion. How about some expansion of the "attach" command in whatnow(1) and a pointer to send(1), and a back-pointer in send(1) to whatnow(1). And maybe some clarification in send(1) as well. --Ken _______________________________________________ Nmh-workers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
