PREV(1)PREV(1)NAMEprev - show the previous message
SYNOPSISprev [+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 speci-
fied (or current) folder. Like show, it passes any
switches on to the program named by showproc or showmime-
proc, 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 ALSOshow(1), next(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.
BUGSprev 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.
