- MOVE - copy messages into another mail file, and delete in this one
-
- Usage: MOVE [/type] filename [message-sequence]
- Unless specified, /type is "/mbox" and message-sequence is "current".
-
- The MOVE command copies messages to another mail file, and marks them as
- deleted in the current mail file (compare to COPY).
-
- If the mail file named exists, MOVE adds copies of the messages 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.
-
- Examples:
- MM>move oldmail #moves the current message
- MM>move oldmail 1,3:6 #specifying messages by number
- MM>move fred.mail from fred #specifying messages from fred
