Whom is used to expand the headers of a message into a set of
addresses and optionally verify that those addresses are deliverable at
that time (if `-check' is given).
The `-draftfolder\ +folder' and `-draftmessage\ msg' switches invoke
the nmh draft folder facility. This is an advanced (and highly
useful) feature. Consult the mh-draft(5) man page for more
information.
The files specified by the profile entry \*(lqAliasfile:\*(rq and any
additional alias files given by the `-alias aliasfile' switch will be
read (more than one file, each preceded by `-alias', can be named).
See mh-alias\0(5) for more information.

With the `-check' option, whom makes no guarantees that the
addresses listed as being ok are really deliverable, rather, an address
being listed as ok means that at the time that whom was run
the address was thought to be deliverable by the transport service.
For local addresses, this is absolute; for network addresses, it means
that the host is known; for uucp addresses, it (often) means that the
UUCP network is available for use.
