RCVSTORE(1) [mh.6] (MH.6.8) RCVSTORE(1)
NAME
rcvstore - incorporate new mail asynchronously
SYNOPSIS
/usr/local/lib/mh/rcvstore [+folder] [-create] [-nocreate]
[-sequence name ...] [-public] [-nopublic] [-zero]
[-nozero] [-help]
DESCRIPTION
Rcvstore incorporates a message from the standard input into
an MH folder. If `+folder' isn't specified, a folder in the
user's MH directory will be used, either that specified by
the Inbox: entry in the user's profile, or the folder named
inbox. The new message being incorporated is assigned the
next highest number in the folder. If the specified (or
default) folder doesn't exist, then it will be created if
the `-create' option is specified, otherwise rcvstore will
exit.
If the user's profile contains a Msg-Protect: nnn entry, it
will be used as the protection on the newly created
messages, otherwise the MH default of 0644 will be used.
During all operations on messages, this initially assigned
protection will be preserved for each message, so chmod(1)
may be used to set a protection on an individual message,
and its protection will be preserved thereafter.
Rcvstore will incorporate anything except zero length
messages into the user's MH folder.
If the profile entry Unseen-Sequence is present and
non-empty, then rcvstore will add the newly incorporated
message to each sequence named by the profile entry. This
is similar to the Previous-Sequence profile entry supported
by all MH commands which take `msgs' or `msg' arguments.
Note that rcvstore will not zero each sequence prior to
adding messages.
Furthermore, the incoming messages may be added to user-
defined sequences as they arrive by appropriate use of the
`-sequence' option. As with pick, use of the `-zero' and
`-nozero' switches can also be used to zero old sequences or
not. Similarly, use of the `-public' and `-nopublic
switches may be used to force additions to public and
private sequences.

CONTEXT
No context changes will be attempted, with the exception of
sequence manipulation.
BUGS
If you use the Unseen-Sequence profile entry, rcvstore could
try to update the context while another MH process is also
trying to do so. This can cause the context to become
corrupted. To avoid this, do not use rcvstore if you use
the Unseen-Sequence profile entry.
