SYNOPSIS
-

[+folder]
[-showproc

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.
