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 command line.

       If  the  -mbox switch is given (the default), messages are separated by mbox (uucp) style de‐
       limiters.  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.

FILES
       /etc/nmh/mts.conf          nmh mts configuration file

BUGS
       Only two return codes are meaningful, others should be.
