rcvstore - asynchronously incorporate mail into a folder
SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/nmh/rcvstore [+folder]
[-create] [-nocreate] [-unseen] [-nounseen]
[-zero] [-nozero] [-public] [-nopublic]
[-sequence name ...] [-version] [-help]
DESCRIPTION
Rcvstore incorporates a message from the standard input
into an nmh folder. This command is typically used in
conjunction with mail filtering programs such as slocal
and procmail, to filter your mail into different folders.
You may specify which folder to use with `+folder'. If no
folder is specified, rcvstore will use the folder given by
a non-empty "Inbox:" entry in the user's profile, else it
will use the folder named "inbox".
If the switch `-create' is given (it is the default) and
if the specified (or default) folder does not exist, then
it will be created. You may disable this with the
`-nocreate' option. In this case rcvstore will exit if
the specified folder does not exist.
When the new message is incorporated into the folder, it
is assigned the next highest number for that folder.
Rcvstore will incorporate anything except zero length mes
sages into the user's nmh folder. It will not change the
message in any way.
If the user's profile contains a "Msg-Protect: nnn" entry,
it will be used as the protection on the newly created
message, otherwise the nmh default of 0644 will be used.
For all subsequent operations on this message, this ini
tially assigned protection will be preserved.
If the switch `-unseen' is given (it is on by default),
and if the profile entry "Unseen-Sequence" is present and
non-empty, then rcvstore will add the newly incorporated
message to each sequence named by this profile entry. You
may use the switch `-nounseen' to disable this. These
sequences will not be zero'ed by rcvstore prior to adding
the new message.
Furthermore, the incoming message may be added to addi
tional sequences as they arrive by the use of the
`-sequence' switch. As with the commands pick and mark,
you may also use the switches `-zero' and `-nozero' to
specify whether to zero old sequences or not. Similarly,
use of the `-public' and `-nopublic switches may be used
to force these sequences to be public or private

PROFILE COMPONENTS
Path: To determine the user's nmh directory
Folder-Protect: To set mode when creating a new folder

DEFAULTS
`+folder' defaults to "Inbox" profile entry
`-create'
`-unseen'
`-nozero'
CONTEXT
No context changes will be attempted, with the exception
of sequence manipulation.
BUGS
If you use the "Unseen-Sequence" profile entry, rcvstore
could try to update the context while another nmh process
is also trying to do so. This can cause the context to
become corrupted. To avoid this, do not use rcvstore if
you use the "Unseen-Sequence" profile entry.
