.SH DESCRIPTION
The \fIrcvpack\fR program will append a copy of the message to the file
listed on its command line.

If the `-mbox' switch is given (the default), then the messages are
separated using mbox (uucp) style delimiters.  This is the format used
by most mail clients (elm, mailx, etc.).
 
If the `-mmdf' switch is given, then the messages are separated by
mmdf style delimiters.  Each message in the file is separated by four
CTRL\-A's and a newline.

\fIrcvpack\fR will correctly lock and unlock the file to serialize
access to the file, when running multiple copies of \fIrcvpack\fR.

In general, its use is obsoleted by the \*(lqfile\*(rq action of
\fIslocal\fR, although it might still have occasional uses in various
shell scripts.
