Well, it does exactly what every other command that takes -nowhatnowproc
does ... it builds the draft file based on what you give it and then exits.
The comp(1) man page kind of explains this, but not very well:
The -build switch is intended to be used by the Emacs mh-e interface to
nmh. It implies -nowhatnowproc. It causes a file <mh-dir>/draft to be
created, containing the draft message that would normally be presented
to the user for editing. No mail is actually sent.
The implication here is -build causes the draft to not be sent, but really
if you look at the source code it's -nowhatnowproc (-build just changes
how the draft file is handled).
Maybe you want -whatnowproc send ? I didn't test that, but I think that
should work.
