18: \fIInc\fR incorporates mail from the user's incoming mail drop
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:
43:
44: .nf
45: .ti 1i
46: \*(<<inc\*(>> date
47: .ti 1.5i
48: <scan line for first message>
49: .ti 1.5i
50: <scan line for second message>
51: .ti 2.5i
52: <etc.>
53: .fi
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.

139: The argument to the `\-format' switch must be interpreted as a single token
