                     14: .SH DESCRIPTION
                     15: \fIRmf\fR removes all of the messages (files) within the specified
                     16: (or default) folder,
                     17: and then removes the folder (directory) itself.
                     18: If there are any files within the folder which are not a part of \fIMH\fR,
                     19: they will \fInot\fR be removed, and an error will be produced.
                     20: If the folder is given explicitly or the `\-nointeractive' option is given,
                     21: then the folder will be removed without confirmation.
                     22: Otherwise, the user will be asked for confirmation.
                     23: If \fIrmf\fR can't find the current folder, for some reason,
                     24: the folder to be removed defaults to `+inbox' with confirmation.
                     25: 
                     26: \fIRmf\fR irreversibly deletes messages that don't have other links,
                     27: so use it with caution.
                     28: 
                     29: If the folder being removed is a subfolder, the parent
                     30: folder will become the new current folder, and \fIrmf\fR will
                     31: produce a message telling the user this has happened.
                     32: This provides an easy mechanism for selecting a set of messages,
                     33: operating on the list, then removing the list and returning to
                     34: the current folder from which the list was extracted.
                     35: 
                     36: \fIRmf\fR of a read\-only folder will delete the private sequence
                     37: and cur information
                     38: (i.e., \*(lqatr\-\fIseq\fR\-\fIfolder\fR\*(rq entries)
                     39: from the profile without affecting the folder itself.

                     49: `+folder' defaults to the current folder, usually with confirmation
                     50: .Ds
                     51: `\-interactive' if +folder' not given, `\-nointeractive' otherwise
                     52: .Co
                     53: \fIRmf\fR will set the current folder to the parent folder if a
                     54: subfolder is removed; or if the current folder is removed,
                     55: it will make \*(lqinbox\*(rq current.
                     56: Otherwise, it doesn't change the
                     57: current folder or message.
                     58: .Bu
                     59: Although intuitively one would suspect that \fIrmf\fR works recursively,
                     60: it does not.
                     61: Hence if you have a sub\-folder within a folder,
                     62: in order to \fIrmf\fR the parent,
                     63: you must first \fIrmf\fR each of the children.
