Takes a message list and a file name or mailbox URL and appends each message in turn to the end of that file or mailbox. Mailbox URLs begin with mailbox type specifier, such as ‘mbox://’, ‘maildir://’, etc. The name of file or mailbox and number of lines and characters appended to it is echoed on the terminal. When writing to file, the numbers represent exact number of lines and characters appended to the file. When file specifies a mailbox, these numbers may differ by the amount of lines/characters needed to represent message envelope for that specific mailbox type.
Each saved message is marked for deletion as if with delete
command, unless the variable keepsave
is set.
Like save
, but the file to append messages to is named after the
sender of the first message in msglist. For example:
& from 14 15 U 14 smith@noldor.org Fri Jun 30 18:11 14/358 The Save c U 15 gray@noldor.org Fri Jun 30 18:30 8/245 Re: The Sa & Save 14 15 "smith" 22/603 |
i.e., 22 lines (603 characters) have been appended to the file “smith”. If the file does not exist, it is created.
Similar to save
, except that only message body (without the
header) is saved.

Mark list of messages to be saved in the user’s mailbox ($HOME/mbox)
upon exiting via quit
command. This is the default action for
all read messages, unless you have variable hold
set.
