 .SH DESCRIPTION
-By default, \fIrmm\fR will remove the specified messages by renaming
-the message files with preceding commas.  Such files will then need to
-be removed in some manner after a certain amount of time.  Many sites
-arrange for \fIcron\fR\0(8) to remove these files once a day, so check
-with your system administrator.
-
-Alternately, if you wish for \fIrmm\fR to really remove the files
-representing these messages, you can use the `-unlink' switch.  But
-messages removed by this method cannot be later recovered.
-
+By default,
+.B rmm
+will remove the specified messages by renaming each of the message files
+with a site-dependent prefix (usually a comma).
+Such files will then need to be removed in some manner after a period of
+time.
+Many sites arrange for
+.B cron
+to remove these files once a day, so check with your system administrator.
+.PP
+Alternately, if you wish for
+.B rmm
+to really remove the files representing these messages, you can use the
+.B \-unlink
+switch.
+But messages removed by this method cannot be later recovered.
+.PP
 If you prefer a more sophisticated method of `removing' messages, you
-can define the \fIrmmproc\fR profile component.  For example, you can
-add a profile component such as
-
-	rmmproc:	/home/coleman/bin/rmm_msgs
-
-then instead of simply renaming the message file, \fIrmm\fR will call
-the named program or script to handle the files that represent the
-messages to be deleted.
-
-Some users of csh prefer the following:
-
-	alias rmm 'refile +d'
-
-where folder +d is a folder for deleted messages, and
-
-	alias mexp 'rm `mhpath +d all`'
-
+can define the
+.I rmmproc
+profile component.
+For example, you can add a profile component such as
+.PP
+.RS 5
+rmmproc:    /home/foouser/bin/rmm_msgs
+.RE
+.PP
+Then instead of simply renaming the message file,
+.B rmm
+will call the named program or script to handle the files that
+represent the messages to be deleted.
+The
+.B \-rmmproc
+switch may be used to override this profile component.  The
+.B \-normmproc
+switch disables the use of any
+.I rmmproc
+profile component and negates all prior
+.B \-rmmproc
+switches.
+.PP
+An example of a
+.I rmmproc
+script that saves a message based in its Message-ID is provided in
+%nmhetcdir%/rmmproc.messageid.  To enable it, simply add an
+.I rmmproc
+component that names it, to your profile.
+.PP
+Some users of
+.B csh
+prefer the following:
+.PP
+.RS 5
+alias rmm 'refile +d'
+.RE
+.PP
+where folder `+d' is a folder for deleted messages, and
+.PP
+.RS 5
+alias mexp 'rm \`mhpath +d all\`'
+.RE

 If a folder is given, it will become the current folder.
-.Bu
-Since \fIrefile\fR uses your \fIrmmproc\fP to delete the message,
-the \fIrmmproc\fP must \fBNOT\fP call \fIrefile\fP without specifying
-`\-normmproc', or you will create an infinte loop.

+.SH BUGS
+Since
+.B rmm
+and
+.B refile
+use your
+.I rmmproc
+to delete the message, the
+.I rmmproc
+must
+.I not
+call
+.B rmm
+or
+.B refile
+without specifying
+.BR \-normmproc ,
+or you will create an infinite loop.
