10 rcvpack \- append message to file
22 The \fIrcvpack\fR program will append a copy of the message to the file
23 listed on its command line.
25 If the `-mbox' switch is given (the default), then the messages are
26 separated using mbox (uucp) style delimiters. This is the format used
27 by most mail clients (elm, mailx, etc.).
29 If the `-mmdf' switch is given, then the messages are separated by
30 mmdf style delimiters. Each message in the file is separated by four
31 CTRL\-A's and a newline.
33 \fIrcvpack\fR will correctly lock and unlock the file to serialize
34 access to the file, when running multiple copies of \fIrcvpack\fR.
36 In general, its use is obsoleted by the \*(lqfile\*(rq action of
37 \fIslocal\fR, although it might still have occasional uses in various
