NAME

next − show the next message

SYNOPSIS

next ­[+folder] ­[−header] ­[−noheader] ­[−showproc program] ­[−noshowproc] ­[switches for showproc] ­[−cnv] ­[−nocnv] ­[−help]

DESCRIPTION

Next performs a show on the next message in the specified (or current) folder.  Like show, it passes any switches on to the program showproc, which is called to list the message.  This command is almost exactly equivalent to “show next”.  Consult the manual entry for show (1) for all the details.  ^$HOME/.mh_profile~^The user profile ^Path:~^To determine the user’s MH directory ^Current−Folder:~^To find the default current folder ^showproc:~^Program to show the message show(1), prev(1) ‘+folder’ defaults to the current folder ‘−format’ ‘−header’ ‘−cnv’ If a folder is specified, it will become the current folder.  The message that is shown (i.e., the next message in sequence) will become the current message.  next is really a link to the show program.  As a result, if you make a link to next and that link is not called next, your link will act like show instead.  To circumvent this, add a profile−entry for the link to your MH profile and add the argument next to the entry.
