NAME
     patch-metamail - Install a  patch  to  the  latest  metamail
     release

SYNOPSIS
     patch-metamail    source-tree-root  patch-number   [hostname
     [dirname [prefix]]]

DESCRIPTION
     The patch-metamail program will attempt to retreive a  patch
     file for the metamail distribution, using anonymous ftp to a
     trusted server, and then install that patch  in  your  local
     copy of the distribution.

     The first two arguments, which are required,  are  the  root
     directory  of  your local copy of the metamail source direc-
     tory, and the patch number.  The former  is  site-dependent,
     the latter is patch-dependent.

     In general, patch-metamail is  intended  to  be  called  via
     metamail, with a mailcap entry like the following:

     application/x-metamail-patch;patch-metamail source-tree-root
     %{patchnumber}; needsterminal

     The default values for the host to  ftp  to,  the  directory
     name to retrieve the file from, and the patch file name pre-
     fix are hard-wired  to  thumper.bellcore.com,  pub/nsb,  and
     "mm.patch.".   While  you  can override these on the command
     line, it would be a big mistake to make these  parameterized
     based  on the contents of a mail message, because then some-
     one could  spoof  you  into  retrieving  a  new  version  of
     metamail  with  a Trojan horse from their site!  However, as
     long as you retain control over what host and directory  the
     patches  are retrieved from, this program is reasonably safe
     (as safe as the host you're depending on, anyway).
