NAME

6       prev - show the previous message
7

SYNOPSIS

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

CONTEXT

43       If  a folder is specified, it will become the current folder.  The mes‐
44       sage that is shown (i.e., the previous message in sequence) will become
45       the current message.

BUGS

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