NAME

       rcvpack - append an email from standard input to a file

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

       rcvpack appends a copy of a message to the file specified on its command line.

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

       Alternatively,  if  the  -mmdf  switch  is  given,  messages are separated by mmdf style delimiters, each
       message being separated by four CTRL-A's and a newline.

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

       In  general,  rcvpack has been rendered obsolete by the file action of slocal, although it may still have
       some use in shell scripts.
