.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.B rcvpack
program will read a message on standard in, convert it and
append it to the mbox file listed on the command line.
.PP
The RFC 822 message is converted to the mbox format.
This is the format used by most mail clients (elm, mailx, etc.).
For the nitpickers: It's the mboxo format.
.PP
.B rcvpack
will correctly lock and unlock the file to serialize
access to the file, when running multiple copies of
.B rcvpack .
.PP
If no
.I file
argument is given, the converted message is printed to standard out.
No locking will be done in this case.
