PREV(1MH)               COMMAND REFERENCE               PREV(1MH)



NAME
     prev - show the previous mail message

SYNOPSIS
     prev [ +folder ] [ -header ] [ -noheader ] [ -format ] [
     -noformat ] [ -pr ]
     [ -nopr ] [ -help ] [ switches for pr ]

DESCRIPTION
     Prev displays the previous mail message in the specified (or
     current) mail folder.  This is the same as show prev.

     If you specify the -pr option, the message is displayed by
     pr and any unknown switched are passed on to pr.

     Your .mh_profile can contain the following entries:

          Path:          To determine the user's MH directory
          Current-Folder: To find the default current folder

     If a folder is specified it becomes the current folder. The
     message that is shown (i.e., the previous message in
     sequence) becomes the current message in the folder.

OPTIONS
     -format   Pass the message through the default pagination
               program.

     -noformat Pass the message through the cat program.

     -header   Display a header describing which message is being
               displayed. The header is in the following format:

          (Message folder:number)

     -noheader Don't display the header described for the -header
               option.

     -help     Display a usage message for prev.

     -pr       Use pr as the pagination program.

     -nopr     Use the default pagination program (same as
               -format).
