<dt>&lsquo;<samp>s [[<var>msglist</var>] <var>file</var>]</samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dd><p>Takes a message list and a file name or mailbox URL and appends each
message in turn to the end of that file or mailbox.  Mailbox URLs
begin with mailbox type specifier, such as &lsquo;<samp>mbox://</samp>&rsquo;,
&lsquo;<samp>maildir://</samp>&rsquo;, etc.  The name of file or mailbox and number of
lines and characters appended to it is echoed on the terminal.  When
writing to file, the numbers represent exact number of lines and
characters appended to the file.  When <var>file</var> specifies a mailbox,
these numbers may differ by the amount of lines/characters needed to
represent message envelope for that specific mailbox type.
</p>
<p>Each saved message is marked for deletion as if with <code>delete</code>
command, unless the variable <code>keepsave</code> is set.
</p></dd>
<dt>&lsquo;<samp>Save [<var>msglist</var>]</samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dt>&lsquo;<samp>S [<var>msglist</var>]</samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dd><p>Like <code>save</code>, but the file to append messages to is named after the
sender of the first message in <var>msglist</var>.  For example:
</p>
<div class="example">
<table class="cartouche" border="1"><tr><td>
<pre class="example">&amp; from 14 15
 U  14 smith@noldor.org Fri Jun 30 18:11  14/358   The Save c
 U  15 gray@noldor.org  Fri Jun 30 18:30  8/245    Re: The Sa
&amp; Save 14 15
&quot;smith&quot; 22/603
</pre></td></tr></table>
</div>

<p>i.e., 22 lines (603 characters) have been appended to the file &ldquo;smith&rdquo;.
If the file does not exist, it is created.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>&lsquo;<samp>write [[<var>msglist</var>] <var>file</var>]</samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dt>&lsquo;<samp>w [[<var>msglist</var>] <var>file</var>]</samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dd><p>Similar to <code>save</code>, except that only message body (without the
header) is saved.
</p></dd>
<dt>&lsquo;<samp>Write [<var>msglist</var>]</samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dt>&lsquo;<samp>W [<var>msglist</var>]</samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dd><p>Similar to <code>Save</code>, except that only message body (without the
header) is saved.
</p></dd>
<dt>&lsquo;<samp>mbox [<var>msglist</var>]</samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dt>&lsquo;<samp>mb [<var>msglist</var>]</samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dt>&lsquo;<samp>touch [<var>msglist</var>]</samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dt>&lsquo;<samp>tou [<var>msglist</var>]</samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dd><p>Mark list of messages to be saved in the user&rsquo;s mailbox (<samp>$HOME/mbox</samp>)
upon exiting via <code>quit</code> command.  This is the default action for
all read messages, unless you have variable <code>hold</code> set.
</p></dd>
<dt>&lsquo;<samp>copy [[<var>msglist</var>] <var>file</var>]</samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dt>&lsquo;<samp>c [[<var>msglist</var>] <var>file</var>]</samp>&rsquo;</dt>
<dd><p>Similar to <code>save</code>, except that saved messages are not marked for
deletion.
