NAME
       refile  - file message in other folders (only available within the mes‐
       sage handling system, mh)

SYNOPSIS
       refile [msgs] [+folder] [options]

OPTIONS
       Refiles the draft message, or  the  current  message  in	 your  +drafts
       folder,	if  you	 have one set up. You cannot give a msgs argument when
       you use this option.  Moves a file into a folder. This option  takes  a
       file  from its directory and places it in the named folder, as the next
       message in the folder. The file must be formatted as a legal mail  mes‐
       sage.  This  means that the message must have the minimum header fields
       separated from the body of the message by a blank line  or  a  line  of
       dashes.	 Prints	 a list of the valid options to this command.  Keeps a
       copy of the message in the source folder. Normally, refile removes  the
       messages	 from  the  original  folder  when  it refiles them. The -link
       option keeps a copy in the original folder, as well as filing a copy in
       the  new	 folder.  Preserves the number of a message in the new folder.
       Normally, when a message is refiled in to another folder, it is set  to
       the  next  available  number in that folder. The -preserve option keeps
       the number of the message the same in the new folder as it had been  in
       the old.

	      You cannot have two messages with the same number in one folder,
	      so you should use this option with care.	Specifies  the	source
	      folder  to  take	messages  from. Normally, messages are refiled
	      from the current folder into another folder.  However,  you  can
	      take  messages from a different folder by using the -src +folder
	      option to specify the alternative source folder.

DESCRIPTION
       Use the refile command to move the specified message from  the  current
       folder  to  another  folder.  You  can refile messages in more than one
       folder by giving multiple folder names as arguments.

       If you do not specify a message, the current message  is	 refiled.  You
       can  refile a message other than the current message by giving its num‐
       ber as a msgs argument. You can also refile more than one message at  a
       time  by specifying more than one message number, or a range of message
       numbers, or a message sequence. See mark(1)  for	 more  information  on
       sequences.

       The  current  folder  remains the same unless the -src option is speci‐
       fied; in that case, the source folder becomes  current.	Normally,  the
       last  message  specified	 becomes  the current message. However, if the
       -link option is used, the current message is not changed.

       If the Previous-Sequence: entry is set in  the  file,  in  addition  to
       defining	 the  named sequences from the source folder, refile will also
       define those sequences for the destination folders.  See	 mh_profile(4)
       for information concerning the previous sequence.

PROFILE COMPONENTS
       Path: To determine your Mail directory

       Folder-Protect: To set protections when creating a new folder

       rmmproc: Program to delete the message

EXAMPLES
       The  following example refiles messages 3 and 5 in the folder +records:
       % refile 3 5 +records The next example files the current	 message  into
       two  folders: % refile +jones +map The next example takes message 13 in
       the current folder and refiles it in  the  +test	 folder.  The  message
       remains in the current folder as well as appearing in the +test folder.
       % refile -link 13 +test The next	 example  takes	 a  message  from  the
       folder  +test  when  it is not the current folder, and places it in the
       folder +outbox: % refile 3 -src +test +outbox

FILES
       The user profile.
