31 If you think of a message as a sheet of paper, this operation is not
32 unlike filing the sheet of paper (or copies) in file cabinet folders.
33 When a message is filed, it is linked into the destination folder(s)
34 if possible, and is copied otherwise. As long as the destination
35 folders are all on the same file system, multiple filing causes little
36 storage overhead. This facility provides a good way to cross\-file or
37 multiply\-index messages. For example, if a message is received from
38 Jones about the ARPA Map Project, the command
41 refile\0cur\0+jones\0+Map
