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

49: \fIRmf\fR will set the current folder to the parent folder if a
50: subfolder is removed; or if the current folder is removed,
51: it will make \*(lqinbox\*(rq current.
52: Otherwise, it doesn't change the
53: current folder or message.

55: Although intuitively one would suspect that \fIrmf\fR works recursively,
56: it does not.
57: Hence if you have a sub\-folder within a folder,
58: in order to \fIrmf\fR the parent,
59: you must first \fIrmf\fR each of the children.
