.TH NMAIL 1
.SH NAME
nmail  \-  a UUCP network mail interface
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B nmail
site!person ...
.SH DESCRIPTION
.I Nmail
searches each argument for an explanation point.
If it finds one, it replaces everything through
the explanation point with the line it finds in
the database.  Everything up to the explanation
point is used as a key into the database.  The
new arguments are echoed, then the normal mailer
is executed with the new arguments.
An element in the database should look like:
.nf

(site name)	(printf string)

.fi
This happens to be the format output by the
.I mkpath(1)
program.  The database must be sorted.
