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
