NAME
rcvstore - asynchronously incorporate mail into a folder

SYNOPSIS
%libdir%/rcvstore [+folder]
[-create] [-nocreate] [-unseen] [-nounseen]
[-zero] [-nozero] [-public] [-nopublic]
[-sequence name ...] [-version] [-help]

DESCRIPTION
Rcvstore incorporates a message from the standard input into an nmh folder. This command is typically used in conjunction with mail filtering programs such as slocal and procmail, to filter your mail into different folders. You may specify which folder to use with `+folder'. If no folder is specified, rcvstore will use the folder given by a non-empty “Inbox:” entry in the user's profile, else it will use the folder named “inbox”. If the switch `-create' is given (it is the default) and if the specified (or default) folder does not exist, then it will be created. You may disable this with the `-nocreate' option. In this case rcvstore will exit if the specified folder does not exist. When the new message is incorporated into the folder, it is assigned the next highest number for that folder. Rcvstore will incorporate anything except zero length messages into the user's nmh folder. It will not change the message in any way. If the user's profile contains a “Msg-Protect: nnn” entry, it will be used as the protection on the newly created message, otherwise the nmh default of 0644 will be used. For all subsequent operations on this message, this initially assigned protection will be preserved. If the switch `-unseen' is given (it is on by default), and if the profile entry “Unseen-Sequence” is present and non-empty, then rcvstore will add the newly incorporated message to each sequence named by this profile entry. You may use the switch `-nounseen' to disable this. These sequences will not be zero'ed by rcvstore prior to adding the new message. Furthermore, the incoming message may be added to additional sequences as they arrive by the use of the `-sequence' switch. As with the commands pick and mark, you may also use the switches `-zero' and `-nozero' to specify whether to zero old sequences or not. Similarly, use of the `-public' and `-nopublic switches may be used to force these sequences to be public or private sequences. ^$HOME/.mh_profile~^The user profile ^Path:~^To determine the user's nmh directory ^Folder-Protect:~^To set mode when creating a new folder ^Inbox:~^To find the default inbox ^Msg-Protect:~^To set mode when creating a new message ^Unseen-Sequence:~^To name sequences denoting unseen messages rcvdist(1), rcvpack(1), rcvtty(1), mh-sequence(5) `+folder' defaults to “Inbox” profile entry `-create' `-unseen' `-nozero' No context changes will be attempted, with the exception of sequence manipulation. If you use the “Unseen-Sequence” profile entry, rcvstore could try to update the context while another nmh process is also trying to do so. This can cause the context to become corrupted. To avoid this, do not use rcvstore if you use the “Unseen-Sequence” profile entry.
