I'm struggling somewhat with the man page's archaic language. =) Here, I tried to compose a message with a carbon copy and failed: & m root ~h Cc:lab Subject: Test 5 Testing the Cc: command. . EOT Cc:lab contains invalid character ':' No child processes "/home/lab/dead.letter" 1/25 . . . message not sent. & I believe I understand how to do it in the body of the message, as follows: & m root Subject: Test 5a Second try. ~lab Unknown tilde escape. ~h cc:lab To: root Cc: lab Bcc: Subject: Test 5a (continue) EOT Is there a way to add a 'cc' or 'bcc' on the '& m [address]' line?
