7. Mailbox Shortcuts
There are a number of built in shortcuts which refer to specific
mailboxes. These shortcuts can be used anywhere you are prompted
for a file or mailbox path.
* ! -- refers to your $spoolfile (incoming) mailbox
* > -- refers to your $mbox file
* < -- refers to your $record file
* ^ -- refers to the current mailbox
* - or !! -- refers to the file you've last visited
* ~ -- refers to your home directory
* = or + -- refers to your $folder directory
* @alias -- refers to the default save folder as determined by the address
of the alias
