NAME¶
prev - show the previous message
SYNOPSIS¶
prev [+folder] [-showproc program]
[-showmimeproc program] [-header | -noheader]
[-checkmime | -nocheckmime] [switches for
showproc or showmimeproc] [-version] [-help]
DESCRIPTION¶
Prev performs a show on the previous message in the specified (or
current) folder. Like show, it passes any switches on to the program
named by showproc or showmimeproc, which is called to list the
message. This command is almost exactly equivalent to “show
prev”. Consult the manual entry for show(1) for all the
details.
FILES¶
^$HOME/.mh_profile~^The user profile
PROFILE COMPONENTS¶
^Path:~^To determine the user's nmh directory
^Current-Folder:~^To find the default current folder
^showproc:~^Program to show non-MIME messages
^showmimeproc:~^Program to show MIME messages
DEFAULTS¶
`+folder' defaults to the current folder
`-checkmime'
`-header'
CONTEXT¶
If a folder is specified, it will become the current folder. The message that is
shown (i.e., the previous message in sequence) will become the current
message.
BUGS¶
prev is really a link to the show program. As a result, if you
make a link to prev and that link is not called prev, your link
will act like show instead. To circumvent this, add a profile-entry for
the link to your nmh profile and add the argument prev to the
entry.
