 .SH DESCRIPTION
 The
 .B rcvpack
-program will append a copy of the message to the file
-listed on its command line.
+program will read a message on standard in, convert it and
+append it to the mbox file listed on the command line.
 .PP
-The messages are separated using mbox (uucp) style delimiters.
+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
-In general, its use is obsoleted by the
-.B file
-action of
-.BR slocal ,
-although it might still have occasional uses in various
-shell scripts.
+If no
+.I file
+argument is given, the converted message is printed to standard out.
+No locking will be done in this case.
