NAME
       rmf - remove an nmh folder

SYNOPSIS
       rmf [+folder] [-interactive] [-nointeractive]
	    [-version] [-help]

DESCRIPTION
       Rmf  removes all of the messages (files) within the speci-
       fied (or default) folder,  and  then  removes  the  folder
       (directory) itself.

       If  there  are any files within the folder which are not a
       part of nmh, they will not be removed, and an  error  will
       be  produced.   If  the	folder is given explicitly or the
       `-nointeractive' option is given, then the folder will  be
       removed without confirmation.  Otherwise, the user will be
       asked for confirmation.	If rmf	can't  find  the  current
       folder, for some reason, the folder to be removed defaults
       to `+inbox' (unless overridden  by  user's  profile  entry
       "Inbox") with confirmation.

       If  the	folder	being  removed is a subfolder, the parent
       folder will become the new current folder,  and	rmf  will
       produce	a  message  telling  the  user this has happened.
       This provides an easy mechanism for  selecting  a  set  of
       messages,  operating  on	 the list, then removing the list
       and returning to the current folder from	 which	the  list
       was extracted.

       If  rmf	is used on a read-only folder, it will delete all
       the (private) sequences (i.e.,  "atr-seq-folder"	 entries)
       for  this  folder  from your context without affecting the
       folder itself.

       Rmf irreversibly deletes messages that  don't  have  other
       links, so use it with caution.

FILES
       $HOME/.mh_profile		    The user profile

PROFILE COMPONENTS
       Path:		    To determine the user's nmh directory
       Current-Folder:	    To find the default current folder
       Inbox:		    To find the default inbox

SEE ALSO
       rmm(1)

DEFAULTS
       `+folder' defaults to the current folder, usually with confirmation
       `-interactive' if +folder' not given, `-nointeractive' otherwise

CONTEXT
       Rmf  will set the current folder to the parent folder if a
       subfolder is removed; or if the current folder is removed,
       it  will	 make  "inbox"	current.   Otherwise,  it doesn't
       change the current folder or message.

BUGS
       Although intuitively one	 would	suspect	 that  rmf  works
       recursively,  it does not.  Hence if you have a sub-folder
       within a folder, in order to  rmf  the  parent,	you  must
       first rmf each of the children.
