rcvstore - incorporate new mail asynchronously
rcvstore [+folder] [-[no]create] [-help] [-sequence name]
[-[no]public] [-[no]zero]
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 exits. The default is -create. Prints a list of
the valid options to this command. 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. 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 letter, and must consist
entirely of alphabetic or numeric characters; no punctuation
is allowed. Specifies whether to zero existing
sequences before adding new messages. Normally, rcvstore
removes all existing messages 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
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 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 assigned 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 nonempty,
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.
