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.
