rmm - remove messages (only available within the message
handling system, mh)
rmm [+folder] [msgs] [-help]
Prints a list of the valid options to this command.
The default settings for this command are:
+folder defaults to the current folder
msgs defaults to the current message
The rmm command deletes the current message from the current
folder.
You can specify messages and folders other than the current
ones by using the +folder and msgs arguments.
The current message is not changed by rmm, so a next will
advance to the next message in the folder as expected.
If you have defined a component rmmproc: in your file,
then instead of simply renaming the message file, rmm will
call the named program to delete the file.
The rmm command removes messages by renaming the message
files with a preceding comma. Many sites consider files
that start with a comma to be a temporary backup, and
arrange for cron(8) to remove such files once a day.
