1  COPY
   Copies a message to another folder without deleting it from the
   current folder. If the specified folder does not exist, it is
   created.

   If you want to copy a message to a sequential file (outside of
   Mail) instead of to a mail file, use the EXTRACT command.

   If you decide (after entering the COPY command, pressing Return,
   and supplying a folder name at the prompt, but before pressing
   Return again) that you do not want to copy the message, press
   Ctrl/C. Ctrl/C aborts the operation and keeps you within Mail.

   Format

     COPY  foldername [file-spec]
 

2  Parameters
 

foldername

   Indicates the name of the folder to which the message is to be
   copied. If the specified folder does not exist (and you have
   not entered the qualifier /NOCONFIRM), Mail asks if you want to
   create it. If you respond with Y, Mail creates the new folder. If
   you specify /NOCONFIRM, Mail creates the folder and displays the
   message: %MAIL-I-NEWFOLDER, folder foldername created

   A folder name can be 1 to 39 characters in length. Valid
   characters for folder names are alphanumeric characters, dollar
   signs ($), and underscores (_). If your folder name contains
   lowercase letters, spaces, or special characters, the folder name
   must be enclosed in quotation marks (" ").
 

file-spec

   Indicates the name of the mail file to which the message is
   copied. If the specified mail file does not exist, Mail creates
   it. If you do not specify the /NOCONFIRM qualifier, Mail
   asks if you want to create the file, but creates the folder
   automatically. If you omit the file name, Mail copies the message
   to the specified folder in the current file.
 

2  Qualifiers
 

/ALL

   Indicates that all of the currently selected messages are to
   be copied to another folder, file, or both. Select a folder
   by entering the SELECT command followed by the name of the
   folder. See the SELECT command for more information. If the /ALL
   qualifier is omitted, only the current message is copied.
 

/CONFIRM

      /CONFIRM
      /NOCONFIRM

   Determines whether Mail prompts you to create a new folder or
   file. The default qualifier is /CONFIRM.
 

2  Examples

   1.MAIL> 2

     MAIL> COPY
     _Folder: MEMOS
     _File: <RETURN>
     MAIL>

     This example shows how to put a copy of a mail message into
     another folder (MEMOS) in the default mail file. If folder
     MEMOS does not exist, you receive the following message:

       Folder MEMOS does not exist.
       Do you want to create it (Y/N, default is N)? Y
       %MAIL-I-NEWFOLDER, folder MEMOS created.
