11 \fIRmm\fR removes the specified messages by renaming the message
|
|
|
12 files with preceding commas. Many sites consider files that start with a
|
|
|
13 comma to be a temporary backup, and arrange for \fIcron\fR\0(8)
|
|
|
14 to remove such files once a day.
|
|
|
15
|
|
|
16 If the user has a profile component such as
|
|
|
17
|
|
|
18 rmmproc: /bin/rm
|
|
|
19
|
|
|
20 then instead of simply renaming the message file,
|
|
|
21 \fIrmm\fR
|
|
|
22 will call the named program to delete the file.
|
|
|
23 Note that at most installations,
|
|
|
24 \fIcron\fR\0(8) is told to remove files that begin with a comma once a night.

26 Some users of csh prefer the following:
|
|
|
27
|
|
|
28 alias rmm 'refile +d'
|
|
|
29
|
|
|
30 where folder +d is a folder for deleted messages, and
|
|
|
31
|
|
|
32 alias mexp 'rm `mhpath +d all`'
|
|
|
33
|
|
|
34 is used to \*(lqexpunge\*(rq deleted messages.
|
|
|
35
|
|
|
36 The current message is not changed by \fIrmm\fR, so a \fInext\fR will
|
|
|
37 advance to the next message in the folder as expected.

55 Since \fIrefile\fR uses your \fIrmmproc\fP to delete the message,
|
|
|
56 the \fIrmmproc\fP must \fBNOT\fP call \fIrefile\fP without
|
|
|
57 specifying `\-normmproc',
|
|
|
58 or you will create an infinte loop.
