According to dheller@cory.Berkeley.EDU (Dan Heller): >Why is a separte program necessary?

Elm is quite capable of taking an already-arrived message and sending a copy of it to another user. The "bounce" command performs that function. However, the original question referred to the "filter" program, provided with Elm, which forwards mail *at the time of its arrival*. My pointer to deliver is based on my own (biased) opinion that deliver is a better solution than filter to the forward-on-arrival problem.
