MAIL COPY — MicroVMS 4.5B

  Copies a message to another folder  without  deleting  it  from  the
  current  folder.   If  the  specified  folder  does not exist, it is
  created.

  If you want to copy a message to a sequential file (outside of MAIL)
  instead of to a mail file, use the EXTRACT command.

  If you enter the COPY command, supply a folder-name, and then decide
  that you do not want to copy the message, enter CTRL/Z.  CTRL/Z will
  abort the operation and keep you within MAIL.

   Format:

       COPY folder-name [file-name]
