Name
       refile - file message in other folders

Syntax
       refile [ msgs ] [ +folder ] [ options ]

Description
       Use  the	 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 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, will also define
       those sequences for the destination folders.  See for information  con‐
       cerning the previous sequence.

Options
       -draft	 Refiles  the  draft  message,	or the current message in your
		 folder, if you have one set up.  You cannot give a msgs argu‐
		 ment when you use this option.

       -file filename
		 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 message.	This means that the message must have the min‐
		 imum  header fields separated from the body of the message by
		 a blank line or a line of dashes.

       -help	 Prints a list of the valid options to this command.

       -link
       -nolink	 Keeps a copy of the message in the source folder.   Normally,
		 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.

       -preserve
       -nopreserve
		 Preserves  the	 number	 of a message in the new folder.  Nor‐
		 mally, when a message is refiled in to another folder, it  is
		 set  to  the next available number in that folder.  The -pre‐
		 serve 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.

       -src +folder
		 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 alter‐
		 native source folder.

Examples
       The following example refiles messages 3 and 5 in the folder
       % 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	folder.	  The message remains in the current folder as well as
       appearing in the folder.
       % refile -link 13 +test

       The next example takes a message from the folder when  it  is  not  the
       current folder, and places it in the folder
       % refile 3 -src +test +outbox
