-When using POP, you will normally need to type the password for

-It is possible to automate this process by creating a

If
.B nmh
-has been compiled with APOP support, the
-.B \-apop
-switch will cause
-.B inc
-to use APOP rather than standard POP3 authentication. Under APOP, a
-unique string (generally of the format
-.RI < pid . timestamp @ hostname >
-) is announced by the POP server.
-Rather than `USER
-.IR user ',
-`PASS
-.IR password ',
-.B inc
-sends `APOP
-.I user
-.IR digest ',
-where digest is the MD5 hash of the unique string followed by a
-`secret' shared by client and server, essentially equivalent to the user's
-password (though an APOP-enabled POP3 server could have separate APOP and plain
-POP3 passwords for a single user).
-.B \-noapop

-If
-.B nmh
-has been compiled with KPOP support, the
-.B \-kpop
-switch will allow
-.B inc
-to use Kerberized POP rather than standard POP3 on a given invocation.
-If POPSERVICE was also #defined to "kpop",
-.B inc
-will be hardwired to always use KPOP.
-.PP
-If
-.B nmh
has been compiled with SASL support, the
.B \-sasl
switch will enable
the use of SASL authentication. Depending on the SASL mechanism used, this
may require an additional password prompt from the user (but the
-.RI \*(lq .netrc \*(rq
-file can be used to store this password). The
+.I netrc
+file can be used to store this password, as described in the
+mh-profile(5) man page). The
.B \-saslmech
switch can be used to select a particular SASL mechanism.

.SH CONTEXT
The folder into which messages are being incorporated will become the
current folder. The first message incorporated will become the current
option is specified. This leaves the context ready for a
.B show
of the first new message.

-.SH BUGS
-The argument to the
-.B \-format
-switch must be interpreted as a single
-token by the shell that invokes
-.BR inc .
-Therefore, one must usually place the argument to this switch inside
-double\-quotes.
