Rcvstore incorporates a message from the standard input into an
nmh folder. This command is typically used in conjunction with
mail filtering programs such as slocal and procmail, to
filter your mail into different folders.
You may specify which folder to use with `+folder'. If no folder is
specified, rcvstore will use the folder given by a non-empty
\*(lqInbox:\*(rq entry in the user's profile, else it will use the folder
named \*(lqinbox\*(rq.
If the switch `-create' is given (it is the default) and if the specified
(or default) folder does not exist, then it will be created. You may
disable this with the `-nocreate' option. In this case rcvstore
will exit if the specified folder does not exist.
When the new message is incorporated into the folder, it is assigned
the next highest number for that folder.
Rcvstore will incorporate anything except zero length messages
into the user's nmh folder. It will not change the message in any
way.
If the user's profile contains a \*(lqMsg-Protect: nnn\*(rq entry, it
will be used as the protection on the newly created message, otherwise
the nmh default of 0644 will be used. For all subsequent operations
on this message, this initially assigned protection will be preserved.
If the switch `-unseen' is given (it is on by default), and if the
profile entry \*(lqUnseen-Sequence\*(rq is present and non-empty, then
rcvstore will add the newly incorporated message to each sequence
named by this profile entry. You may use the switch `-nounseen' to
disable this. These sequences will not be zero'ed by rcvstore
prior to adding the new message.
Furthermore, the incoming message may be added to additional sequences
as they arrive by the use of the `-sequence' switch. As with the
commands pick and mark, you may also use the switches
`-zero' and `-nozero' to specify whether to zero old sequences or not.
Similarly, use of the `-public' and `-nopublic switches may be used
to force these sequences to be public or private sequences.

`-nozero'
No context changes will be attempted, with the exception of
sequence manipulation.
If you use the \*(lqUnseen-Sequence\*(rq profile entry, rcvstore
could try to update the context while another nmh process
is also trying to do so. This can cause the context to become
corrupted. To avoid this, do not use rcvstore if you use the
\*(lqUnseen-Sequence\*(rq profile entry.
