NAME

6       rmm - remove messages
7

SYNOPSIS

9       rmm [+folder] [msgs] [-link | -nolink] [-version] [-help]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       By default, rmm will remove the specified messages by renaming the mes‐
13       sage files with preceding commas.  Such files  will  then  need  to  be
14       removed  in  some  manner  after  a certain amount of time.  Many sites
15       arrange for cron to remove these files once a day, so check  with  your
16       system administrator.
17
18       Alternately,  if you wish for rmm to really remove the files represent‐
19       ing these messages, you can  use  the  -unlink  switch.   But  messages
20       removed by this method cannot be later recovered.
21
22       If  you  prefer a more sophisticated method of `removing' messages, you
23       can define the rmmproc profile component.  For example, you can  add  a
24       profile component such as
25
26            rmmproc:  /home/foouser/bin/rmm_msgs
27
28       then  instead  of  simply  renaming the message file, rmm will call the
29       named program or script to handle the files that represent the messages
30       to be deleted.
31
32       Some users of csh prefer the following:
33
34            alias rmm 'refile +d'
35
36       where folder `+d' is a folder for deleted messages, and
37
38            alias mexp 'rm `mhpath +d all`'
39
40       is used to “expunge” deleted messages.
41
42       The current message is not changed by rmm, so a next
43        will advance to the next message in the folder as expected.

BUGS

71       Since  refile uses your rmmproc to delete the message, the rmmproc must
72       NOT call refile without specifying -normmproc, or you  will  create  an
73       infinte loop.
