COPY - copy messages into another mail file
Usage: COPY [/type] filename [message-sequence]
Unless specified, /type is "/mbox" and message-sequence is "current".
The COPY command copies messages to another mail file, and also leaves
them in the current mail file (compare to MOVE).
If the mail file named exists, COPY adds copies of the messages to the end
of the file. If the mail file does not exist, COPY creates it, unless
the variable auto-create-files is set to NO. If a directory is not
specified with the filename, COPY assumes the MAIL-DIRECTORY, which by
default is your home directory.
If a type is not specified, /mbox is used for new files and the existing
type is retained for existing files. Use the type /mbox unless you also
use another mail system that needs another format. /babyl and /mtxt
are the other types.
Examples:
MM>copy oldmail #copies the current message
MM>copy oldmail 1,3:6 #specifying messages by number
MM>copy fred.mail from fred #specifying messages from fred
