                     25: will call the named program to delete the file.
                     26: Note that at most installations, 
                     27: \fIcron\fR\0(8) is told to remove files that begin with a comma once a night.

                     39: The current message is not changed by \fIrmm\fR, so a \fInext\fR  will
