NAME

6       prev - show the previous nmh message
7

SYNOPSIS

9       prev [-help] [-version] [+folder] [-showproc program] [-showmimeproc
10            program] [-header | -noheader] [-checkmime | -nocheckmime]
11            [switches for showproc or showmimeproc]
12

DESCRIPTION

14       prev  performs a show on the previous message in the specified (or cur‐
15       rent) folder.  Like show, it passes any  switches  on  to  the  program
16       named by showproc or showmimeproc, which is called to list the message.
17       This command is almost exactly equivalent to “show prev”.  Consult  the
18       manual entry for show(1) for all the details.

DEFAULTS

33       `+folder' defaults to the current folder
34       `-checkmime'
35       `-header'
36

CONTEXT

38       If  a folder is specified, it will become the current folder.  The mes‐
39       sage that is shown (i.e., the previous message in sequence) will become
40       the current message.
41

BUGS

43       prev  is really a link to the show program.  As a result, if you make a
44       link to prev and that link is not called prev, your link will act  like
45       show  instead.  To circumvent this, add a profile-entry for the link to
46       your nmh profile and add the argument prev to the entry.
