.SH DESCRIPTION
.B Send
are actually performed by
.BR post .
.PP
-By default the draft is scanned for a header named
-.IR Nmh-Attachment .
+Before
+.B send
+gives the message to
+.B post
+for delivery, the message is processed by
+.B mhbuild
+to perform any necessary MIME encoding of the outgoing message. This
+can be changed by the
+.I buildmimeproc
+profile component.
+.B mhbuild
+is invoked with the
+.B \-auto
+switch, so
+.B mhbuild
+directives are not processed by default. See
+.IR mhbuild (1)
+for more information.
+.PP
+.B mhbuild
+will scan the message draft for a header named
+.IR Attach .
The draft is converted to a MIME message if one or more matches are found.
-This conversion occurs before all other processing. The header name
-can be changed with the
-.B \-attach
-option. This behavior can be disabled completely with the
-.B \-noattach
-option. The
-.B whatnow
+This conversion occurs before all other processing. The
+.IR whatnow (1)
man page describes the user interface for managing MIME attachments via
this mechanism.
.PP
The first part of the MIME message is the draft body if that body contains
any non-blank characters.
-The body of each header field whose name matches the
-.I header-field-name
-is interpreted as a file name, and each file named is included as a separate
+The body of each
+.I Attach
+header field is interpreted as a file name, and each file named is included as a separate
part in the MIME message.
.PP
Determination of the content MIME type inserted into the Content-Type
installation was configured. If a program, such as
.B file
with a
-.B --mime
+.B \-\-mime
or
-.B -i
+.B \-i
option, was found that can specify the type of a file as a MIME type
string, then that will be used. To determine if your
.B nmh

for more details and example syntax.
.PP
-Each part contains a name attribute that is the last component of the path name.
-A
-.I x-unix-mode
-attribute containing the file mode accompanies each part.
-Finally, a description attribute is generated by running the
-.I file
-command on the file.
-.PP
-The
-.B -attachformat
-option specifies the MIME header field formats: a value of
-.B 0
-includes the
-.I x-unix-mode
-attribute as noted above. A value of
-.BR 1 ,
-the default,
-suppresses that, puts the file name in the
-\*(lqContent-Description\*(rq header, and
-adds a \*(lqContent-Disposition\*(rq header. A value of
-.B 2
-adds the file
-.I modification-date
-parameter to the \*(lqContent-Disposition\*(rq header. You can
-specify one value in your profile, and override it for individual
-messages at the
-.I whatnow
-prompt.
-.PP
-Here are example message part headers, for an attachment, for each of the
-.B -attachformat
-values:
+Each attached MIME part contains a
+\*(lqContent-Description\*(rq header that includes the filename, and
+adds a \*(lqContent-Disposition\*(rq header.
+Here is an example of MIME part headers for an attachment:

.PP
+See
+.IR mhbuild (1)
+for explanation of how the Content-Disposition value is selected.

If
.B \-push
is specified,
as to how long it should make header lines containing addresses.
.PP
The mail transport system default is provided in
-.I %etcdir%/mts.conf
+.I %nmhetcdir%/mts.conf
but can be overriiden here with the
.B \-mts
switch.
.PP
+If nmh is using as its mail transport system
+.BR sendmail/pipe ,
+the
+.B \-sendmail
+switch can be used to override the default
+.B sendmail
+program.
+.PP
If nmh is using the SMTP MTA, the
.B \-server
and the
.B \-port
switches can be used to override the default mail server (defined by the
-.I %etcdir%/mts.conf
+.I %nmhetcdir%/mts.conf
.RI servers
entry). The
.B \-snoop
switch can be used to view the SMTP transaction. (Beware that the
SMTP transaction may contain authentication information either in
-plaintext or easily decoded base64.)
+plaintext or easily decoded base64.) If
+.B \-saslmech xoauth2
+is used, the HTTP transaction is also shown.
.PP
If
.B nmh
.B \-user
switch can be used to select a authorization userid to provide to SASL
other than the default. The credentials profile entry in the
-mh_profile(5) man page describes the ways to supply a username and
+mh\-profile(5) man page describes the ways to supply a username and
password.
.PP
If SASL authentication is successful,
.PP
If
.B nmh
+has been compiled with OAuth support, the
+.B \-saslmech xoauth2
+switch will enable OAuth authentication. The
+.B \-user
+switch must be used, and the
+.I user-name
+must be an email address the user has for the service, which must
+be specified with the
+.B \-authservice
+.I service
+switch. Before using this, the user must authorize nmh by running
+.B mhlogin
+and grant authorization to that account. See the
+.B mhlogin
+man page for more details.
+.PP
+If
+.B nmh
has been compiled with TLS support, the
.B \-tls
and
.B \-notls
switch will disable all attempts to negotiate TLS.
.PP
+If port 465 is specified and none of the TLS switches were enabled,
+.B \-initialtls
+will be implied if TLS support was compiled in. Though port 465 for
+SMTPS (SMTP over SSL) was deregistered by IANA in 1998, it is still
+used for that service.
