4 – Description
The FOLDER utility is used by the PMDF DELIVER utility to place
mail messages in a user's VMS MAIL mail folder. Read and write
privileges are required to place a message in the mail folder
of another user. This utility is intended primarily for use by
DELIVER; system managers and users are unlikely to find it useful
in and of itself.
All of the specified input files will be placed in the specified
mail folder as a single mail message. Unless the /BLANK qualifier
is specified, there will be no separators placed between each
file as delimiters.
The optional folder-name parameter specifies the name of the VMS
MAIL folder in which to place the message. If not supplied, then
the message will be placed in the NEWMAIL folder.
If the option mail-file-spec parameter is not specified, then the
default mail file for the specified user will be used. If /MM is
used this parameter is meaningless and is not allowed.
5 – Qualifiers
5.1 /BLANK
/BLANK
/NOBLANK (default)
When placing multiple files into a folder, a blank line can
optionally be used to separate each file. Use the /BLANK
qualifier to select this option; by default no separators are
used.
5.2 /CC
/CC
/NOCC (default)
This qualifier can be used to specify the contents of the CC:
line associated with the mail message being created. If no /CC
qualifier is specified, then a blank CC: line will be generated.
5.3 /FROM
/FROM
/NOFROM (default)
This qualifier can be used to specify the contents of the FROM:
line associated with the mail message being created. If no /FROM
qualifier is specified, then the FROM: line is blank.
5.4 /SUBJECT
/SUBJECT
/NOSUBJECT (default)
This qualifier can be used to specify the contents of the
SUBJECT: line associated with the mail message being created.
If no /SUBJECT qualifier is specified, then a blank SUBJECT: line
will be generated.
5.5 /TO
/TO
/NOTO (default)
This qualifier can be used to specify the contents of the TO:
line associated with the mail message being created. If no /TO
qualifier is specified, then the TO: line is blank.
