RCVSTORE(%manext1%)

NAME
rcvstore - asynchronously incorporate new mail

SYNOPSIS
%libdir%/rcvstore [+folder] [-create]
[-nocreate] [-sequence name ...] [-public]
[-nopublic] [-zero] [-nozero] [-version] [-help]

DESCRIPTION
Rcvstore incorporates a message from the standard input into an nmh folder. If `+folder' isn't specified, a folder in the user's nmh 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 nmh 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 nmh 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 nmh 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. ^$HOME/.mh_profile~^The user profile ^Path:~^To determine the user's nmh directory ^Folder-Protect:~^To set mode when creating a new folder ^Inbox:~^To find the default inbox ^Msg-Protect:~^To set mode when creating a new message ^Unseen-Sequence:~^To name sequences denoting unseen messages rcvdist(1), rcvpack(1), rcvtty(1), inc(1), pick(1), mh-mail(5) `+folder' defaults to “inbox” `-create' `-nopublic' if the folder is read-only, `-public' otherwise `-nozero' No context changes will be attempted, with the exception of sequence manipulation. If you use the “Unseen-Sequence” profile entry, rcvstore could try to update the context while another nmh 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.
