MAIL QUIT — MicroVMS 4.5B
Exits you from MAIL without emptying the WASTEBASKET folder. Thus,
if you accidentally issue the DELETE command to delete a message,
you can cancel the DELETE command by issuing the QUIT command
instead of the EXIT command to exit from MAIL. (QUIT performs the
same function as <CTRL/Y>.)
If you DELETE a message, press RETURN and enter the QUIT command,
your deleted message will be in the WASTEBASKET folder. Whereas, if
you DELETE a message and press CTRL/Y (instead of RETURN), your
deleted message will remain in the MAIL folder (instead of moving to
the WASTEBASKET folder).
