            "content": "rcvpack appends a copy of a message to the file specified on its command line.\n\nIf  the  -mbox switch is given (the default), messages are separated by mbox (uucp) style de‐\nlimiters.  This is the format used by most mail clients (elm, mailx, etc.).\n\nAlternatively, if the -mmdf switch is given, messages are separated by mmdf style delimiters,\neach message being separated by four CTRL-A's and a newline.\n\nrcvpack  will  correctly  lock  and unlock the file to serialize access when running multiple\ncopies of rcvpack.\n\nIn general, rcvpack has been rendered obsolete by the file action of slocal, although it  may\nstill have some use in shell scripts.\n",
