meillo@98 11 .SH DESCRIPTION
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 16
meillo@98 17 Such a first line:
meillo@98 18
meillo@98 19 From user Wed Jan 9 12:43:35 1985 remote from host Date: 9 Jan 1985 8:39 EST
meillo@98 20
meillo@98 21 would generate this call to masqmail:
meillo@98 22
meillo@100 23 masqmail \-i \-f user@host \-\- bob@example.org
meillo@98 24
meillo@98 25 (If ``bob@example.org'' was the argument to the rmail call.))
