21: .SH DESCRIPTION
22: \fIInc\fR incorporates mail from the user's incoming mail drop
23: into an \fIMH\fR folder.
24: If `+folder' isn't specified,
25: the folder named \*(lqinbox\*(rq in the user's \fIMH\fR directory will be used.
26: The
27: new messages being incorporated are assigned numbers starting
28: with the next highest number in the folder.
29: If the specified (or default) folder doesn't exist,
30: the user will be queried prior to its creation.
31: As the messages are processed,
32: a \fIscan\fR listing of the new mail is produced.
33:
34: If the user's profile contains a \*(lqMsg\-Protect: nnn\*(rq entry, it
35: will be used as the protection on the newly created messages,
36: otherwise the \fIMH\fR default of 0644 will be used.
37: During all operations on messages,
38: this initially assigned protection will
39: be preserved for each message, so \fIchmod\fR(1) may be used to set a
40: protection on an individual message, and its protection will be
41: preserved thereafter.
42:
43: If the switch `\-audit\ audit\-file' is specified (usually as a
44: default switch in the profile), then \fIinc\fR will append a header
45: line and a line per message to the end of the specified
46: audit\-file with the format:
47:
48: .nf
49: .ti 1i
50: \*(<<inc\*(>> date
51: .ti 1.5i
52: <scan line for first message>
53: .ti 1.5i
54: <scan line for second message>
55: .ti 2.5i
56: <etc.>
57: .fi
58:
59: This is useful for keeping track of volume and source of incoming
60: mail.
61: Eventually, \fIrepl\fR, \fIforw\fR, \fIcomp\fR, and \fIdist\fR may also
62: produce audits to this (or another) file, perhaps with
63: \*(lqMessage\-Id:\*(rq information to keep an exact correspondence history.
64: \*(lqAudit\-file\*(rq will be in the user's MH directory unless a full
65: path is specified.
66:
67: \fIInc\fR will incorporate even improperly formatted messages into the
68: user's MH folder, inserting a blank line prior to the offending
69: component and printing a comment identifying the bad message.
70:
71: In all cases, the user's mail drop will be zeroed,
72: unless the `\-notruncate' switch is given.
73:
74: If the profile entry \*(lqUnseen\-Sequence\*(rq is present and non\-empty,
75: then \fIinc\fR will add each of the newly incorporated messages to each
76: sequence named by the profile entry.
77: This is similar to the \*(lqPrevious\-Sequence\*(rq profile entry supported
78: by all \fIMH\fR commands which take `msgs' or `msg' arguments.
79: Note that \fIinc\fR will not zero each sequence prior to adding messages.
80:
81: The interpretation of the `\-form\ formatfile', `\-format\ string',
82: and `\-width\ columns' switches is the same as in \fIscan\fR\0(1).
83:
84: By using the `\-file\ name' switch, one can direct \fIinc\fR to incorporate
85: messages from a file other than the user's maildrop.
86: Note that the name file will NOT be zeroed,
87: unless the `\-truncate' switch is given.
88:
89: If the envariable \fB$MAILDROP\fR is set,
90: then \fIinc\fR uses it as the location of the user's maildrop instead of the
91: default (the `-file\ name' switch still overrides this, however).
92: If this envariable is not set,
93: then \fIinc\fR will consult the profile entry \*(lqMailDrop\*(rq for this
94: information.
95: If the value found is not absolute,
96: then it is interpreted relative to the user's \fIMH\fR directory.
97: If the value is not found,
98: then \fIinc\fR will look in the standard system location for the user's
99: maildrop.
100:
101: The `\-silent' switch directs \fIinc\fR to be quiet and not ask any questions
102: at all.
103: This is useful for putting \fIinc\fR in the background and going on to other
104: things.

136: The folder into which messages are being incorporated will become the
137: current folder.
138: The first message incorporated will become the current message,
139: unless the `\-nochangecur' option is specified.
140: This leaves the context ready for a \fIshow\fR
141: of the first new message.
142: .Bu
143: The argument to the `\-format' switch must be interpreted as a single token
144: by the shell that invokes \fIinc\fR.
145: Therefore,
146: one must usually place the argument to this switch inside double\-quotes.
