rcvstore(1)
NAME
  rcvstore - incorporate new mail asynchronously

SYNOPSIS
  rcvstore [+folder] [-[no]create] [-help] [-sequence name] [-[no]public]
  [-[no]zero]

OPTIONS
  -create

  -nocreate
      Creates the specified folder. If you attempt to incorporate mail into a
      folder that does not exist, rcvstore creates the folder if you supply
      the -create option. If you supply the -nocreate option, the folder is
      not created and rcvstore exits. The default is -create.

  -help
      Prints a list of the valid options to this command.

  -public

  -nopublic
      Sets the read permissions of sequences. Normally, when you create a
      sequence with the -sequence option, the sequence is not accessible to
      other MH users. The -public option makes the sequence accessible to
      other MH users. You can use the -nopublic option to ensure that the
      sequence that you create is only accessible to yourself.

  -sequence name
      Specifies a sequence in which rcvstore places the messages which it
      incorporates. For more information on sequences, see mark(1). The name
      of the sequence must begin with a letter, and must consist entirely of
      alphabetic or numeric characters; no punctuation is allowed.

  -zero

  -nozero
      Specifies whether to zero existing sequences before adding new
      messages. Normally, rcvstore removes all existing messages from a
      sequence before adding messages to it. If you specify the -nozero
      option, rcvstore adds the messages it finds to the existing contents of
      the sequence. This option only works with the -sequence option.

  The defaults for this command are:

       +folder defaults to +inbox
       -create
       -nopublic  if the folder is read-only, otherwise -public
       -nozero

DESCRIPTION
  The command rcvstore incorporates a message from the standard input into an
  MH folder. If a +folder argument is not given the file is placed in your
  +inbox folder. The new message being incorporated is assigned the next
  highest number in the folder.

  If the specified (or default) folder does not exist, it is created if the
  -create option is specified; otherwise rcvstore exits.

  If your .mh_profile file contains a Msg-Protect: entry, it is used as the
  protection on the newly created messages; otherwise the MH default of 0600
  is used. During all operations on messages, this initially assigned
  protection is preserved for each message. You can use chmod to change the
  protection on an individual message, and the new protection is preserved
  thereafter.

  The rcvstore command incorporates anything except zero length messages into
  your MH folder.

  If the profile entry Unseen-Sequence: is present and non-empty, then
  rcvstore adds the newly incorporated message to each sequence named by the
  profile entry. Note that rcvstore does not zero each sequence prior to
  adding messages.
