You can save a mail message you have just read in a file by typing s and the name of the file you want to save the message in, then pressing <Enter>. You can save any mail message in a file by typing s, the number of the message, and the name of the file you want to save it in, and pressing <Enter>.
For example, if you want to save the message ``Promotion'' in a file called fromdoug, you could type s 2 fromdoug:
SCO System V Mail (Version 3.2) Type ? for help.

"fromdoug" [New file] 28/863
This creates a new file called fromdoug that contains the mail
message from Doug.
You can save several messages in the same file by using the same filename
each time you save a message.
The contents of each message you save will be added to the end of the file
as you save them.
Once you have a file that contains several messages, you can use the mail program to read these messages by typing mail -f filename, where filename is the name of the file in which you have saved the messages, then pressing <Enter>. For example, if you wanted to use the mail program to look back at the message from Doug, you could type mail -f fromdoug:
$ mail -f fromdoug
