MAIL$_MAILFILE_DEFAULT_NAME

   MAIL$_MAILFILE_DEFAULT_NAME specifies the default file
   specification the Mail utility should use when opening a mail
   file. The buffer address field points to a character string 0 to
   255 characters long that defines the default file specification.

   Specify a value from 0 to 255 in the buffer length field of the
   item descriptor.

   If you specify the value 0 in buffer length field of the item
   descriptor, MAIL$MAILFILE_COMPRESS uses the current default
   directory as the default mail file specification.

   If you do not specify MAIL$_MAILFILE_DEFAULT_NAME, MAIL$MAILFILE_
   COMPRESS creates the default mail file specification from the
   following sources:

   o  Disk and directory defined in the caller's user authorization
      file (UAF)

   o  Subdirectory defined in the Mail user profile

   o  Default file type of .MAI
 

MAIL$_MAILFILE_FULL_CLOSE

   The Boolean item code MAIL$_MAILFILE_FULL_CLOSE requests that
   the wastebasket folder be purged and that convert and reclaim
   operations be performed, if necessary.

   Specify the value 0 in the buffer length and buffer address
   fields of the item descriptor.
 

MAIL$_MAILFILE_NAME

   MAIL$_MAILFILE_NAME specifies the name of a mail file to be
   opened. The buffer that the buffer address field points to
   contains a character string of 0 to 255 characters.

   Specify a value from 0 to 255 in the buffer length field of the
   item descriptor.

   If you do not specify MAIL$_MAILFILE_NAME, the default mail file
   name is MAIL.
