RCVPACK(1mh)                                                      RCVPACK(1mh)

NAME
       rcvpack - append an email from standard input to a file

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/lib/mh/rcvpack [-help] [-version] file [-mbox] [-mmdf]

DESCRIPTION
       rcvpack  appends  a copy of a message to the file specified on its com-
       mand line.

       If the -mbox switch is given (the default), messages are  separated  by
       mbox  (uucp)  style  delimiters.   This is the format used by most mail
       clients (elm, mailx, etc.).

       Alternatively, if the -mmdf switch is given, messages are separated  by
       mmdf  style  delimiters,  each message being separated by four CTRL-A's
       and a newline.

       rcvpack will correctly lock and unlock the  file  to  serialize  access
       when running multiple copies of rcvpack.

       In  general,  rcvpack  has been rendered obsolete by the file action of
       slocal, although it may still have some use in shell scripts.
