Documentation

Append this message to mail file FILE-NAME.

This works with both mbox format and Babyl format files, outputting in the appropriate format for each. The default file name comes from rmail-default-file, which is updated to the name you use in this command.

A prefix argument N says to output that many consecutive messages from those in the summary, starting with the current one. Deleted messages are skipped and don't count. When called from Lisp code, N may be omitted and defaults to 1.

This command always outputs the complete message header, even if the header display is currently pruned.
