-n prevents zwrite from sending a PING message to verify the
recipient is subscribing to messages. By default, zwrite
will send a notice to the destination class, instance, and
recipient, with opcode ``PING'' before sending the message.
If the PING is sent, and the server response indicates there
are no recipients subscribed to your message, zwrite exits
without sending a message. When the -m option is used, no
PING is sent.
I beleive there is a typo in the above description.
the last sentance refers to a -m option where I think it should be
refering to the -n option that it is describing, unless there is
a -m option.
