 RMM(1)                                                     RMM(1)
 
 
 
NAME
        rmm - remove messages
 
SYNOPSIS
        rmm [+folder] [msgs] [-unlink] [-nounlink]
             [-version] [-help]
 
DESCRIPTION
        By  default,  rmm  will  remove  the specified messages by
        renaming the message files with  preceding  commas.   Such
        files  will then need to be removed in some manner after a
        certain amount of time.  Many sites arrange  for  cron (8)
        to  remove these files once a day, so check with your sys­
        tem administrator.
 
        Alternately, if you wish for  rmm  to  really  remove  the
        files   representing  these  messages,  you  can  use  the
        `-unlink' switch.  But messages  removed  by  this  method
        cannot be later recovered.
 
        If  you  prefer  a more sophisticated method of `removing'
        messages, you can define the  rmmproc  profile  component.
        For example, you can add a profile component such as
 
             rmmproc:  /home/coleman/bin/rmm_msgs
 
        then instead of simply renaming the message file, rmm will
        call the named program or script to handle the files  that
        represent the messages to be deleted.
 
        Some users of csh prefer the following:
 
             alias rmm 'refile +d'
 
        where folder +d is a folder for deleted messages, and
 
             alias mexp 'rm `mhpath +d all`'
 
        is used to "expunge" deleted messages.
 
        The current message is not changed by rmm, so a next  will
        advance to the next message in the folder as expected.
 
FILES
        $HOME/.mh_profile                    The user profile
 
 PROFILE COMPONENTS
        Path:                To determine the user's nmh directory
        Current-Folder:      To find the default current folder
        rmmproc:             Program to delete the message
 
SEE ALSO
        refile(1), rmf(1)
 
 DEFAULTS
        `+folder' defaults to the current folder
        `msgs' defaults to cur
        `-nounlink'
 
 CONTEXT
        If a folder is given, it will become the current folder.
 
 BUGS
        Since refile uses your rmmproc to delete the message,  the
        rmmproc  must  NOT call refile without specifying `-normm­
        proc', or you will create an infinte loop.
