NAME

       rcvpack - append message to file

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

       The  rcvpack  program  will append a copy of the message to the file listed on its command
       line.

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

       If  the  -mmdf  switch is given, then the messages are separated by mmdf style delimiters.
       Each message in the file is separated by four CTRL-A's and a newline.

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

       In  general,  its  use  is obsoleted by the file action of slocal, although it might still
       have occasional uses in various shell scripts.
