1PREV(1) General Commands Manual PREV(1)
2
6 prev - show the previous nmh message
7
9 prev [-help] [-version] [+folder] [-showproc program] [-showmimeproc
10 program] [-header | -noheader] [-checkmime | -nocheckmime]
11 [switches for showproc or showmimeproc]
12
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.
19
21 $HOME/.mh_profile The user profile
22
24 Path: To determine the user's nmh directory
25 Current-Folder: To find the default current folder
26 showproc: Program to show non-MIME messages
27 showmimeproc: Program to show MIME messages
28
30 next(1), show(1)
31
33 `+folder' defaults to the current folder
34 `-checkmime'
35 `-header'
36
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
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.
