+\fIRmm\fR removes the specified messages by renaming the message
+files with preceding commas.  Many sites consider files that start with a 
+comma to be a temporary backup, and arrange for \fIcron\fR\0(8)
+to remove such files once a day.
+
+If the user has a profile component such as
+
+	rmmproc:	/bin/rm
+
+then instead of simply renaming the message file,
+\fIrmm\fR
+will call the named program to delete the file.
+Note that at most installations, 
+\fIcron\fR\0(8) is told to remove files that begin with a comma once a night.
+
+Some users of csh prefer the following:
+
+	alias rmm 'refile +d'
+
+where folder +d is a folder for deleted messages, and
+
+	alias mexp 'rm `mhpath +d all`'
+
+is used to \*(lqexpunge\*(rq deleted messages.
+
+The current message is not changed by \fIrmm\fR, so a \fInext\fR  will
+advance to the next message in the folder as expected.

+Since \fIrefile\fR uses your \fIrmmproc\fP to delete the message,
+the \fIrmmproc\fP must \fBNOT\fP call \fIrefile\fP without

+or you will create an infinte loop.
