        = ;chmod -l /mail/box/<usr>/mbox
        >/mail/box/bwc/mbox
&= nbsp;       chmod +l /mail/box/<usr&g= t;/mbox

But it will delete ALL the messages.
Take a look at the c= ontents of the mail file
and you will see that it's just a text file whe= re
each message begins with a line /^From .*/.
