RMM(1)

NAME
rmm - remove messages

SYNOPSIS
rmm [+folder] [msgs] [-version] [-help]

DESCRIPTION
By default, Rmm will remove the specified messages by renaming the message files with preceding commas. Such file will then need to be remove in some manner after a certain amount of time. Many sites arrange for cron (8) to remove such files once a day, so check with your system administrator. If you prefer a different method of `removing' messages, you can define the rmmproc profile component. For example, you can add a profile component such as
    rmmproc:    /bin/rm
then instead of simply renaming the message file, rmm will call the named program to delete the file. Some users of csh prefer the following:
    alias rmm 'refile +d' where folder +d is a folder for deleted messages, and
    alias mexp 'rm `mhpath +d all`' is used to “expunge” deleted messages. The current message is not changed by rmm, so a next will advance to the next message in the folder as expected. ^$HOME/.mh_profile~^The user profile ^Path:~^To determine the user's nmh directory ^Current-Folder:~^To find the default current folder ^rmmproc:~^Program to delete the message rmf(1) `+folder' defaults to the current folder `msgs' defaults to cur If a folder is given, it will become the current folder. Since refile uses your rmmproc to delete the message, the rmmproc must NOT call refile without specifying `-normmproc', or you will create an infinte loop.
