meillo@98 12
meillo@98 13 Rmail is a wrapper around masqmail.
meillo@98 14 It reads a mail message on standard input and passes it to masqmail's standard input.
meillo@98 15 Rmail only removes the first line from the input and constructs the return path from it.

meillo@98 17 Such a first line:
meillo@98 18

meillo@98 20

meillo@98 24
meillo@98 25 (If ``bob@example.org'' was the argument to the rmail call.))
