RTFM. Well, Louis, I suspect the gentleman who originally posted had the no doubt foolish impression that such things should be mentioned in the man page for mail, or the "Mail Reference Manual".

All features should be at least mentioned in the Volume 1 documentation, if only to direct you to a paper where you can read about them. -- "This isn't just pork. This is power!"
