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
SEE ALSO¶
next(1),
show(1)
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.
