NAME
rcvstore - incorporate new mail asynchronously
SYNOPSIS
rcvstore [ +folder ] [ -[no]create ] [ -help ] [ -sequence name ] [
-[no]public ] [ -[no]zero ]
DESCRIPTION
The command rcvstore incorporates a message from the standard input
into an MH folder. If a +folder argument is not given the file is
placed in your +inbox folder. The new message being incorporated is
assigned the next highest number in the folder.
If the specified (or default) folder does not exist, it is created if
the -create option is specified; otherwise rcvstore exits.
If your .mh_profile file contains a Msg-Protect: entry, it is used as
the protection on the newly created messages; otherwise the MH default
of 0600 is used. During all operations on messages, this initially as-
signed protection is preserved for each message. You can use chmod to
change the protection on an individual message, and the new protection
is preserved thereafter.
The rcvstore command incorporates anything except zero length messages
into your MH folder.
If the profile entry Unseen-Sequence: is present and non-empty, then
rcvstore adds the newly incorporated message to each sequence named by
the profile entry. Note that rcvstore does not zero each sequence
prior to adding messages.
FLAGS
-create
-nocreate Creates the specified folder. If you attempt to incorporate
mail into a folder that does not exist, rcvstore creates the
folder if you supply the -create option. If you supply the
-nocreate option, the folder is not created and rcvstore ex-
its. The default is -create.
-help Prints a list of the valid options to this command.
-public
-nopublic Sets the read permissions of sequences. Normally, when you
create a sequence with the -sequence option, the sequence is
not accessible to other MH users. The -public option makes
the sequence accessible to other MH users. You can use the
-nopublic option to ensure that the sequence that you create
is only accessible to yourself.
-sequence name
Specifies a sequence in which rcvstore places the messages
which it incorporates. For more information on sequences,
see mark(1). The name of the sequence must begin with a let-
ter, and must consist entirely of alphabetic or numeric char-
acters; no punctuation is allowed.
-zero
-nozero Specifies whether to zero existing sequences before adding
new messages. Normally, rcvstore removes all existing mes-
sages from a sequence before adding messages to it. If you
specify the -nozero option, rcvstore adds the messages it
finds to the existing contents of the sequence. This option
only works with the -sequence option.
The defaults for this command are:
+folder defaults to +inbox
-create
-nopublic if the folder is read-only, otherwise -public
-nozero
