- MOVE - copy the current message into another mail file, and delete...
-
- Usage: MOVE [/type] filename
- Unless specified, type is "/mbox".
-
- Please note that MOVE acts on the "current message" in your mailfile, and
- -NOT- on the message you have just written. If you are REPLYing, the
- "current message" is the one you are replying to. To save the message
- you are writing, see help for SAVE-DRAFT or FCC.
-
- The MOVE command copies the message to another mail file, and deletes
- it in the current mail file (compare to COPY).
-
- If the mail file named exists, MOVE adds a copy of the message to the end
- of the file. If the mail file does not exist, MOVE creates it, unless
- the variable auto-create-files is set to NO. If a directory is not
- specified with the filename, MOVE assumes the MAIL-DIRECTORY, which by
- default is your home directory.
-
- If a type is not specified, /mbox is used for new files and the existing
- type is retained for existing files. Use the type /mbox unless you also
- use another mail system that needs another format. /babyl and /mtxt
- are the other types.
-
- Example:
- Send>move oldmail #copies to a file named oldmail
