[Nmh-workers] Unknown switches to "post" and more garbage collection |

I was working on post, and I came across these switches. I was wondering
if any of the greybeards here happen to know what they're for:
-deliver Claims that the argument is an address-list, but from the
code it seems to do ... nothing? Hm. Maybe in the
old days it was used when compiling in MHMTS ... and
I have no idea what THAT is for. Any ideas?
-fill-in Maybe when you're doing whom ... it redirects the
output of that command to a specified file? Maybe?
No, it seems to do more. Anyone know?
-fill-up Seems to change behavior when you're doing a "whom".
Again ... what the hell?
I see that post still has support for the SMTP transaction commands
SEND, SAML, and SOML. Boy, I had to look those up. I can just garbage
collect those, right? I mean, no one SERIOUSLY uses that any more, right?
(According to an email from Ned Freed I found ... from 1995 ... the only
SMTP servers that supported those BACK THEN were PMDF and TGV Multinet).
