switches.
-.SS "Checking the Contents"
-The
-.B \-check
-switch tells
-.B mhstore
-to check each content for an integrity checksum.
-If a content has such a checksum (specified as a Content-MD5 header
-field), then
-.B mhstore
-will attempt to verify the integrity of the content.
.SS "Storing the Contents"
.B mhstore
will store the contents of the named messages in
.nf
mhstore-store-text: %m%P.txt
mhstore-store-text: +inbox
-mhstore-store-message/partial: +
mhstore-store-audio/basic: | raw2audio -e ulaw -s 8000 -c 1 > %m%P.au

behaves the same as

-.SS "Reassembling Messages of Type message/partial"
-.B mhstore
-is also able to reassemble messages that have been
-split into multiple messages of type \*(lqmessage/partial\*(rq.
-.PP
-When asked to store a content containing a partial message,
-.B mhstore
-will try to locate all of the portions and combine them accordingly.
-The default is to store the combined parts as a new message in the
-current folder, although this can be changed using formatting
-strings as discussed above. Thus, if someone has sent you a
-message in several parts (such as the output from
-.BR sendfiles ),
-you can easily reassemble them into a single message in the
-following fashion:
-.PP
-.RS 5
-.nf
-% mhlist 5-8
- msg part type/subtype size description
- 5 message/partial 47K part 1 of 4
- 6 message/partial 47K part 2 of 4
- 7 message/partial 47K part 3 of 4
- 8 message/partial 18K part 4 of 4
-% mhstore 5-8
-reassembling partials 5,6,7,8 to folder inbox as message 9
-% mhlist -verbose 9
- msg part type/subtype size description
- 9 application/octet-stream 118K
- (extract with uncompress | tar xvpf -)
- type=tar
- conversions=compress
-.fi
-.RE
-.PP
-This will store exactly one message, containing the sum of the
-parts. It doesn't matter whether the partials are specified in
-order, since
-.B mhstore
-will sort the partials, so that they are combined in the correct
-order. But if
-.B mhstore
-can not locate every partial necessary to reassemble the message,
-it will not store anything.
.SS "External Access"
For contents of type message/external-body,
\fImhstore\fR supports these access-types:
is invoked with one argument: the URL of the content to retrieve. The program
should write the content to standard out, and should terminate with a status
of zero if the retrieval is successful and a non-zero exit status otherwise.
-.SS "The Content Cache"
-When
-.B mhstore
-encounters an external content containing a
-\*(lqContent-ID:\*(rq field, and if the content allows caching, then
-depending on the caching behavior of
-.BR mhstore ,
-the content might be read from or written to a cache.
-.PP
-The caching behavior of
-.B mhstore
-is controlled with the
-.B \-rcache
-and
-.B \-wcache
-switches, which define the policy for reading from, and writing to, the cache,
-respectively. One of four policies may be
-specified: \*(lqpublic\*(rq, indicating that
-.B mhstore
-should make use
-of a publicly-accessible content cache; \*(lqprivate\*(rq, indicating that
-.B mhstore
-should make use of the user's private content cache;
-\*(lqnever\*(rq, indicating that
-.B mhstore
-should never make use of caching; and, \*(lqask\*(rq, indicating that
-.B mhstore
-should ask the user.
-.PP
-There are two directories where contents may be cached: the profile entry
-\*(lqnmh-cache\*(rq names a directory containing world-readable contents, and,
-the profile entry \*(lqnmh-private-cache\*(rq names a directory containing
-private contents. The former should be an absolute (rooted) directory
-name.
-.PP
-For example,
-.PP
-.RS 5
-nmh-cache: /tmp
-.RE
-.PP
-might be used if you didn't care that the cache got wiped after each
-reboot of the system. The latter is interpreted relative to the user's
-nmh directory, if not rooted, e.g.,
-.PP
-.RS 5
-nmh-private-cache: .cache
-.RE
-.PP
-(which is the default value).
