SCAN(1MH)               COMMAND REFERENCE               SCAN(1MH)



NAME
     scan - produce a one-line-per-message scan listing

SYNOPSIS
     scan [ +folder ][ msgs ][ -ff ][ -header ][ -noff ][
     -noheader ]

DESCRIPTION
     Scan produces a one-line-per-message listing of the
     specified messages.  Each scan line contains the message
     number (name), the date, the From field, the Subject field,
     and, if room allows, some of the body of the message.

     If there is sufficient room left on the scan line after the
     subject, the line will be filled with text from the body,
     preceded by <<.  Scan actually reads each of the specified
     messages and parses them to extract the desired fields.
     During parsing, appropriate error messages will be produced
     if there are format errors in any of the messages.

     Your .mh_profile can contain the following entries:

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

     Scan has the following defaults:

          +folder
                 defaults to current

          msgs   defaults to all

          -noff

          -noheader

     If a folder is given, it will become current.  The current
     message is unaffected.

OPTIONS
     -header
        This switch produces a header line prior to the scan
        listing.

     -ff
        This switch will cause a form feed to be output at the
        end of the scan listing.

EXAMPLES
     The following input:

     The + on message 15 indicates that it is the current
     message.  The - on message 16 indicates that it has been
     replied to, as indicated by a Replied: component produced by
     an -annotate switch to the repl command.
