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.

FILES
       $HOME/.mh_profile                    The user profile

PROFILE COMPONENTS
       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

SEE ALSO
       mh-alias(5) post(8) 

DEFAULTS
       `file' defaults to <mh-dir>/draft
       `-nocheck'
       `-alias /etc/nmh/MailAliases'

CONTEXT
       None

BUGS
       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.
