        !            19: into an \fIMH\fR folder.
        !            20: If `+folder' isn't specified,
        !            21: the folder named \*(lqinbox\*(rq in the user's \fIMH\fR directory will be used.
        !            22: The
        !            23: new messages being incorporated are assigned numbers starting
        !            24: with the next highest number in the folder.
        !            25: If the specified (or default) folder doesn't exist,
        !            26: the user will be queried prior to its creation.
        !            27: As the messages are processed,
        !            28: a \fIscan\fR listing of the new mail is produced.
        !            29: 
        !            30: If the user's profile contains a \*(lqMsg\-Protect: nnn\*(rq entry, it
        !            31: will be used as the protection on the newly created messages,
        !            32: otherwise the \fIMH\fR default of 0644 will be used.
        !            33: During all operations on messages,
        !            34: this initially assigned protection will
        !            35: be preserved for each message, so \fIchmod\fR(1) may be used to set a
        !            36: protection on an individual message, and its protection will be
        !            37: preserved thereafter.
        !            38: 
        !            39: If the switch `\-audit\ audit\-file' is specified (usually as a
        !            40: default switch in the profile), then \fIinc\fR will append a header
        !            41: line and a line per message to the end of the specified
        !            42: audit\-file with the format:

        !            49: .ti 1.5i
        !            50: <scan line for second message>
        !            51: .ti 2.5i
        !            52: <etc.>

        !            54: 
        !            55: This is useful for keeping track of volume and source of incoming
        !            56: mail.
        !            57: Eventually, \fIrepl\fR, \fIforw\fR, \fIcomp\fR, and \fIdist\fR may also
        !            58: produce audits to this (or another) file, perhaps with
        !            59: \*(lqMessage\-Id:\*(rq information to keep an exact correspondence history.
        !            60: \*(lqAudit\-file\*(rq will be in the user's MH directory unless a full
        !            61: path is specified.
        !            62: 
        !            63: \fIInc\fR will incorporate even improperly formatted messages into the
        !            64: user's MH folder, inserting a blank line prior to the offending
        !            65: component and printing a comment identifying the bad message.
        !            66: 
        !            67: In all cases, the user's mail drop will be zeroed,
        !            68: unless the `\-notruncate' switch is given.
        !            69: 
        !            70: If the profile entry \*(lqUnseen\-Sequence\*(rq is present and non\-empty,
        !            71: then \fIinc\fR will add each of the newly incorporated messages to each
        !            72: sequence named by the profile entry.
        !            73: This is similar to the \*(lqPrevious\-Sequence\*(rq profile entry supported
        !            74: by all \fIMH\fR commands which take `msgs' or `msg' arguments.
        !            75: Note that \fIinc\fR will not zero each sequence prior to adding messages.
        !            76: 
        !            77: The interpretation of the `\-form\ formatfile', `\-format\ string',
        !            78: and `\-width\ columns' switches is the same as in \fIscan\fR\0(1).
        !            79: 
        !            80: By using the `\-file\ name' switch, one can direct \fIinc\fR to incorporate
        !            81: messages from a file other than the user's maildrop.
        !            82: Note that the name file will NOT be zeroed,
        !            83: unless the `\-truncate' switch is given.
        !            84: 
        !            85: If the environment variable \fB$MAILDROP\fR is set,
        !            86: then \fIinc\fR uses it as the location of the user's maildrop instead of the
        !            87: default (the `-file\ name' switch still overrides this, however).
        !            88: If this environment variable is not set,
        !            89: then \fIinc\fR will consult the profile entry \*(lqMailDrop\*(rq for this
        !            90: information.
        !            91: If the value found is not absolute,
        !            92: then it is interpreted relative to the user's \fIMH\fR directory.
        !            93: If the value is not found,
        !            94: then \fIinc\fR will look in the standard system location for the user's
        !            95: maildrop.
        !            96: 
        !            97: The `\-silent' switch directs \fIinc\fR to be quiet and not ask any questions
        !            98: at all.
        !            99: This is useful for putting \fIinc\fR in the background and going on to other
        !           100: things.
