NAME

rmm − remove messages

SYNTAX

rmm [+folder] [msgs] [−help]

DESCRIPTION

The rmm command deletes the current message from the current folder.

It removes messages by renaming the message files with preceding commas.  Many sites consider files that start with a comma to be a temporary backup, and arrange for cron() to remove such files once a day.

You can specify messages and folders other than the current ones by using the +folder and msgs arguments.

If you have a profile component such as

rmmproc:/bin/rm

then instead of simply renaming the message file, rmm will call the named program to delete the file.

The current message is not changed by rmm, so a next will advance to the next message in the folder as expected.

The default settings for this command are:
+folder defaults to the current folder
msgs defaults to the current message

FILES

$HOME/.mh_profileThe user profile

PROFILE COMPONENTS

Path: To determine your MH directory
Current−Folder: To find the default current folder
rmmproc: Program to delete the message
