MOVE - copy messages into another mail file, and delete in this one
Usage: MOVE [/type] filename [message-sequence]
Unless specified, /type is "/mbox" and message-sequence is "current".
The MOVE command copies messages to another mail file, and marks them as
deleted in the current mail file (compare to COPY).
If the mail file named exists, MOVE adds copies of the messages to the end
of the file. If the mail file does not exist, MOVE creates it, unless
the variable auto-create-files is set to NO. If a directory is not
specified with the filename, MOVE 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>move oldmail #moves the current message
MM>move oldmail 1,3:6 #specifying messages by number
MM>move fred.mail from fred #specifying messages from fred
