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.

Qualifiers

/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.

/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.

/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.

/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.

/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.
