20 (or default) folder, and then removes the folder (directory) itself.
22 If there are any files within the folder which are not a part of

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

96 it does not. Hence if you have a sub\-folder within a folder, in order
99 the parent, you must first
101 each of the children.
