MAIL FILE — MicroVMS 4.5B

  Moves the current message to the specified folder.  You can use  the
  FILE  command and the MOVE command interchangeably because they work
  the same way.

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