11 \fIRmm\fR removes the specified messages by renaming the message
12 files with preceding commas. Many sites consider files that start with a
13 comma to be a temporary backup, and arrange for \fIcron\fR\0(8)
14 to remove such files once a day.
16 If the user has a profile component such as
20 then instead of simply renaming the message file,
22 will call the named program to delete the file.
23 Note that at most installations,
24 \fIcron\fR\0(8) is told to remove files that begin with a comma once a night.
26 Some users of csh prefer the following:
30 where folder +d is a folder for deleted messages, and
32 alias mexp 'rm `mhpath +d all`'
34 is used to \*(lqexpunge\*(rq deleted messages.
36 The current message is not changed by \fIrmm\fR, so a \fInext\fR will
37 advance to the next message in the folder as expected.
39 ^$HOME/\&.mh\(ruprofile~^The user profile
41 ^Path:~^To determine the user's MH directory
43 ^Current\-Folder:~^To find the default current folder
45 ^rmmproc:~^Program to delete the message
49 `+folder' defaults to the current folder
51 `msgs' defaults to cur
53 If a folder is given, it will become the current folder.
55 Since \fIrefile\fR uses your \fIrmmproc\fP to delete the message,
56 the \fIrmmproc\fP must \fBNOT\fP call \fIrefile\fP without
57 specifying `\-normmproc',
58 or you will create an infinte loop.
