- \fIRmm\fR 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 \fIcron\fR\0(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,
- \fIrmm\fR
- will call the named program to delete the file.
- Note that at most installations,
- \fIcron\fR\0(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 \*(lqexpunge\*(rq deleted messages.
-
- The current message is not changed by \fIrmm\fR, so a \fInext\fR will
- advance to the next message in the folder as expected.
