NAME

       rcvpack - asynchronously append message to mbox file

SYNOPSIS

       rcvpack [file] [-Version] [-help]

DESCRIPTION

       The  rcvpack program will read a message on standard in, convert it and append it to the mbox file listed
       on the command line.

       The RFC 822 message is converted to the mbox format.  This is the format used by most mail clients  (elm,
       mailx, etc.).  For the nitpickers: It's the mboxo format.

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

       If no file argument is given, the converted message is printed to standard out.  No locking will be  done
       in this case.

HISTORY

       Some  people  say that this tool would be obsoleted by the file action of slocal, although it might still
       have occasional uses in various shell scripts.

BUGS

       Only two return codes are meaningful, others should be.
