---------------------------------------------------------------------- (0006162) steffen (reporter) - 2023-02-20 23:50 https://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1634#c6162 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- After a ML list intermezzo here something refined: on page 2957, line 98020 ff., "hold" / "preserve", change Mark the messages in msglist to be retained in the mailbox when mailx terminates. This shall override any commands that might previously have marked the messages to be deleted. During the current invocation of mailx, only the delete, dp, or dt commands shall remove the preserve marking of a message. to Allowed only in the system mailbox. Mark the messages in msglist to be preserved, as if the hold variable were set, upon normal termination, or when the folder is changed. This shall override any commands that might previously have marked the messages to be deleted. During the current invocation of mailx, only the delete, dp, or dt commands shall remove the preserve marking of a message. See exit and quit. on page 2960, line 98141-2, "touch", change Touch the specified messages. If any message in msglist is not specifically deleted nor saved in a file, it shall be placed in the mbox upon normal termination. See exit and quit. to Allowed only in the system mailbox. Touch the specified messages. Unless overriden by the hold variable, any message in msglist that is not specifically deleted nor saved in a file shall be placed in the mbox upon normal termination, or when the folder is changed. See exit and quit. (Different to "hold" / "delete" this is not ensured by code like if (edit) { printf("Cannot \"preserve\" in edit mode\n"); return(1); } (yet), but the requirement is effective.) Furthermore the solution of issue 991 for the "mbox" command has to be furtherly refined. The editor notes by then were Change on page 2923, starting at line 96567:<blockquote>Arrange for the given messages to end up in the <b>mbox</b> save file when <i>mailx</i> terminates normally.</blockquote>to:<blockquote>Arrange for the given messages to be moved to the <b>mbox</b> save file when <i>mailx</i> terminates normally or when the folder is changed. This command can be used in any folder; for messages residing in the system mailbox, <i>mailx</i> shall ignore the settings of the internal variables <b>[no]hold</b> and <b>[no]keepsave</b> when the <b>mbox</b> command has been used to mark them explicitly.</blockquote> This shall instead read Allowed only in the system mailbox. Arrange for the given messages to end up in the secondary mailbox, overriding a possibly set hold variable, upon normal termination, or when the folder is changed. See exit and quit. (The requirement is not enforced (yet), but effective.)
