.SH SYNOPSIS
is interpreted as a file name, and each file named is included as a separate
part in the MIME message.
.PP
-For file names with dot suffixes, the profile is scanned for a
+Determination of the content MIME type inserted into the Content-Type
+header for each part depends on how the
+.B nmh
+installation was configured. If a program, such as
+.B file
+with a
+.B --mime
+or
+.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
+was so configured, run
+.B mhparam mimetypeproc
+and see if a non-empty string is displayed.
+.PP
+If your
+.B nmh
+was not configured with a program to specify a file type as a MIME
+string, then a different method is used to determine the content-type
+string. For file names with dot suffixes, the profile is scanned for a
.I mhshow-suffix-
entry for that suffix.
The content-type for the part is taken from that profile entry if a match is
the use of SASL authentication with the SMTP MTA. Depending on the
SASL mechanism used, this may require an additional password prompt from the
user (but the
-.RI \*(lq \&.netrc \*(rq
-file can be used to store this password).
+.I netrc
+file can be used to store this password, as described in the
+mh-profile(5) man page). The
.B \-saslmech
switch can be used to select a particular SASL mechanism,
and the
.B \-user
-switch can be used to select a authorization userid
-to provide to SASL other than the default.
+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
