   1 .TH RMM 1 RAND
   2 .SH NAME
   3 rmm \- remove messages
   4 .SH SYNOPSIS
   5 .B rmm
   6 \%[+folder] \%[msgs] \%[
   7 .B \-help
   8 ]
   9 .SH DESCRIPTION
  10 \fIRmm\fR removes the specified messages by renaming the message
  11 files with preceding commas.
  12 (This is the Rand-UNIX backup file
  13 convention.)
  14 .PP
  15 If the user has a profile component such as
  16 .br
  17         delete-prog:    /bin/rm
  18 .br
  19 then instead of simply renaming the message file,
  20 .I rmm
  21 will call the named program to delete the file.
  22 .PP
  23 Some users of csh prefer the following:
  24 .br
  25         alias rmm file +d
  26 .br
  27 where folder +d is a folder for deleted messages, and
  28 .br
  29         alias mexp 'rm `mhpath +d all`'
  30 .br
  31 is used to `exponge' deleted messages.
  32 .PP
  33 The current message is not changed by \fIrmm\fR, so a \fInext\fR  will
  34 advance to the next message in the folder as expected.
