rmm − remove messages
rmm [+folder] [msgs] [−version] [−help]
By default, Rmm will remove the specified messages by renaming the message files with preceding commas. Such file will then need to be remove in some manner after a certain amount of time. Many sites arrange for cron (8) to remove such files once a day, so check with your system administrator.
If you prefer a different method of ’removing’ messages, you can define the rmmproc profile component. For example, you can add a profile component such as
rmmproc: |
/bin/rm |
then instead of simply renaming the message file, rmm will call the named program to delete the file.
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’’ |
is used to “expunge” deleted messages.
The current message is not changed by rmm, so a next will advance to the next message in the folder as expected. ^$HOME/.mh_profile~^The user profile ^Path:~^To determine the user’s nmh directory ^Current−Folder:~^To find the default current folder ^rmmproc:~^Program to delete the message rmf(1) ’+folder’ defaults to the current folder ’msgs’ defaults to cur If a folder is given, it will become the current folder. Since refile uses your rmmproc to delete the message, the rmmproc must NOT call refile without specifying ’−normmproc’, or you will create an infinte loop.
