.TH RMAIL 1 RAND
.SH NAME
rmail \- send mail from a remote site
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B mail
user 
.SH DESCRIPTION
.I Rmail
is intended as an interface between mail sent from foreign
sites via
.I uucp(1)
and the Rand message handling system,
.I mh(1).
It reads a message from the standard input and, after creating
mh-format lines for the sender and recipient user, writes
it into a temporary file.  It then invokes
.I deliver(8)
to complete the mail delivery.
.PP
.I Rmail
is able to understand a series of lines of the form:
.br
	From \fIuser\fB ... remote from \fIsite\fR
.br
and turn them into the correct "From: \fIsite\fR!\fIuser\fR" form,
thus allowing effective use of the 
.I reply(1)
command.
.PP
If the destination 
.I user
is in fact a foreign uucp site, no formatting or reprocessing is
done; 
.I deliver
will simply forward the message to the foreign site with the
appropriate uucp-style header on it.
