Syntax

Envariable

N/A

Element

N/A

Command-line Option

-rmm msgnum ...

-rmm msg-id ...


Description

The RMM resource is activated by the -rmm command-line option. When active, all non-option related arguments are treated as messages to delete from the archive. Messages can be specified by a combination of message numbers, message number ranges, or message-ids. See Examples below.


Default Setting

N/A


Resource Variables

N/A


Examples

The following example specifies the messages to be deleted by individual message numbers.

prompt> mhonarc -rmm 24 28 39 48
Removing messages from ./maillist.html ...
 
Writing mail ...
Writing tmp/maillist.html ...
Writing tmp/threads.html ...
45 messages

To delete message 15 and message 20 through 35, use the following:

prompt> mhonarc -rmm 15 20-35

In some cases, you may know the message-id of the message to delete and not the message number:

prompt> mhonarc -rmm 199802171800.KAA27647@example.com

You can surround message-ids with <>'s, but you then may need to quote the arguments to prevent the shell interpreting them as I/O redirection.

The following example shows how you can intermingle the various ways of specifying messages:

prompt> mhonarc -rmm 23-34 199802171800.KAA27647@example.com 52
