🔖 SYNOPSIS

rmm [-help] [-version] [+folder] [msgs] [-unlink | -nounlink] [-rmmproc program] [-normmproc]

📝 DESCRIPTION

By default, rmm will remove the specified messages by renaming each of the message files with a site-dependent prefix (usually a comma). Such files will then need to be removed in some manner after a period of time. Many sites arrange for cron to remove these files once a day, so check with your system administrator.

Alternately, if you wish for rmm to really remove the files representing these messages, you can use the -unlink switch. But messages removed by this method cannot be later recovered.

If you prefer a more sophisticated method of 'removing' messages, you can define the rmmproc profile component. For example, you can add a profile component such as

rmmproc:    /home/foouser/bin/rmm_msgs

Then instead of simply renaming the message file, rmm will call the named program or script to handle the files that represent the messages to be deleted. The -rmmproc switch may be used to override this profile component. The -normmproc switch disables the use of any rmmproc profile component and negates all prior -rmmproc switches.

An example of a rmmproc script that saves a message based on its Message-ID is provided in /usr/share/doc/nmh/examples/rmmproc.messageid. To enable it, simply add an rmmproc component that names it, to your profile.

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 rmm, so a next will advance to the next message in the folder as expected.

📁 FILES

• msgs defaults to cur
• -nounlink

🌐 CONTEXT

If a folder is given, it will become the current folder.

🐛 BUGS

Since rmm and refile use your rmmproc to delete the message, the rmmproc must not call rmm or refile without specifying -normmproc, or you will create an infinite loop.
