RMM(1)							   RMM(1)

NAME
       rmm - remove messages

SYNOPSIS
       rmm [+folder] [msgs] [-unlink] [-nounlink]
	    [-version] [-help]

DESCRIPTION
       By  default,  rmm  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	 cron (8)
       to  remove these files once a day, so check with your sys-
       tem administrator.

       Alternately, if you wish for  rmm  to  really  remove  the
       files   representing  these  messages,  you  can	 use  the
       `-unlink' switch.  But messages	removed	 by  this  method
       cannot be later recovered.

       If  you	prefer	a more sophisticated method of `removing'
       messages, you can define the  rmmproc  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, rmm 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`'

       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.

FILES
       $HOME/.mh_profile		    The user profile

PROFILE COMPONENTS
       Path:		    To determine the user's nmh directory
       Current-Folder:	    To find the default current folder
       rmmproc:		    Program to delete the message

SEE ALSO
       refile(1), rmf(1)

DEFAULTS
       `+folder' defaults to the current folder
       `msgs' defaults to cur
       `-nounlink'

CONTEXT
       If a folder is given, it will become the current folder.

BUGS
       Since refile uses your rmmproc to delete the message,  the
       rmmproc	must  NOT call refile without specifying `-normm-
       proc', or you will create an infinte loop.
