Displays a list of the messages in the current mail file,  including
  message number, sender's name, date, and subject.

  If "folder-name" is  omitted,  MAIL  displays  a  directory  of  the
  currently  selected  folder.   If  there  is  no  currently selected
  folder, MAIL displays a directory of the NEWMAIL folder  (if  unread
  messages  exist)  or  the  MAIL folder.  (See the SELECT command for
  information about selecting messages.)  You create a new set of selected
  messages everytime you use any directory qualifier except the /EDIT
  qualifier.
