rcvstore

rcvstore(1)						      General Commands Manual						       rcvstore(1)

NAME

       rcvstore - incorporate new mail asynchronously

SYNOPSIS

       rcvstore [+folder] [-[no]create] [-help] [-sequence name] [-[no]public] [-[no]zero]

OPTIONS

       Creates the specified folder. If you attempt to incorporate mail into a folder that does not exist, rcvstore creates the folder if you sup-
       ply 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  let-
       ter,  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

DESCRIPTION

       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 non-empty, 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.

PROFILE COMPONENTS

       Path:		  To determine your Mail directory
       Folder-Protect:	  To  set  protections	when  creating	a  new
			  folder
       Msg-Protect:	  To  set protections when creating a new mes-
			  sage
       Unseen-Sequence:   To name sequences denoting unseen messages

FILES

       The user profile.
