NAME

whom - report to whom a message would go

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

Whom is used to list the recipient addresses in the headers of a message.

Per default, whom lists sighted and hidden recipients. The -notocc option suppresses the listing of sighted recipients (To and Cc). The -nodcc option suppresses the listing of hidden DCC recipients. The -nobcc option suppresses the listing of hidden BCC recipients. If the printing of multiple kinds of recipients is requested and hidden ones are present, they are separated by a line similar to ’’ ==DCC==’’ or ’’ ==BCC==’’. The actual separator may change, but the regular expression /^[ \t].*[DB]CC/ should always match. No separator is printed if only one kind of recipients is requested for printing, or if multiple are requested but no hidden recipients are present.

With -alias, aliases for all recipients are expanded, according to the alias files given by the ’Aliasfile:’ profile entry. This is somehow similar to running:

ali ’whom /path/to/msg’
