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.
