18 removes all of the messages (files) within the specified
19 (or default) folder, and then removes the folder (directory) itself.
21 If there are any files within the folder which are not a part of

26 If the folder is given explicitly or the
29 given, then the folder will be removed without confirmation. Otherwise,
30 the user will be asked for confirmation. If
33 current folder, for some reason, the folder to be removed defaults to
34 `+inbox' (unless overridden by user's profile entry \*(lqInbox\*(rq)
37 If the folder being removed is a subfolder, the parent folder will become
38 the new current folder, and
40 will produce a message telling the
41 user this has happened. This provides an easy mechanism for selecting
42 a set of messages, operating on the list, then removing the list and
43 returning to the current folder from which the list was extracted.

95 it does not. Hence if you have a sub\-folder within a folder, in order
98 the parent, you must first
