RMM(1) UNIX Programmer's Manual RMM(1) NAME rmm - remove messages SYNOPSIS rmm [+folder] [msgs] [-help] 9 _R_m_m removes the specified messages by renaming the message files with preceding commas. Many sites consider files that start with a comma to be a temporary backup, and arrange for _c_r_o_n (8) to remove such files once a day. If the user has a profile component such as rmmproc: /bin/rm then instead of simply renaming the message file, _r_m_m will call the named program to delete the file. Note that at most installations, _c_r_o_n (8) is told to remove files that begin with a comma once a night. 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 _r_m_m, so a _n_e_x_t will advance to the next message in the folder as expected.
