NAME
       rmf - remove an nmh folder

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

DESCRIPTION
       Rmf  removes  all  of  the  messages  (files)  within the specified (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), folder(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” cur‐
       rent.  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.
