SHOW(1MH)               COMMAND REFERENCE               SHOW(1MH)



NAME
     show - show (list) mail messages

SYNOPSIS
     show [ +folder ] [ msgs ] [ -draft ] [ -header ]
          [ -noheader ] [ -format ] [ -noformat ] [ -pr ]
          [ -nopr ] [ -help ] [ switches for pr ]

DESCRIPTION
     Show lists each of the specified mail messages to the
     standard output (usually your terminal).  The messages are
     listed exactly as they are, with no reformatting.

     If you specify the -pr option, then pr(1) is invoked to list
     the messages.  All switches other than those recognized by
     show are passed to pr.

     Your .mh_profile file can contain the following entries:


          Path: To determine the user's MH directory
          Current-Folder: To find the default current folder
          Show: To set options of show

     Show has the following defaults:


          -format
          -header
          -nopr
          msgs   defaults to current message
          +folder   defaults to current folder

     If you specify a folder with the +folder option, it becomes
     the current folder.  The last message listed becomes the
     current message.

     You can use the keywords all, cur, next, and prev for the
     msgs argument. These keywords have the following meanings:

     all       Display all the messages in a folder.

     cur       Display the current message in a folder.

     next      Display the next message (the one after the
               current message) in a folder.

     prev      Display the previous message (the one before the
               current message) in a folder.

SHOW(1MH)               COMMAND REFERENCE               SHOW(1MH)



         Print the draft file, mh-directory/draft, if it exists.

     -format
         Use the default pagination program to display the
         specified mail messages (same as -nopr).  The -pr and
         -noformat options suppress this option.

     -noformat
         Use cat(1) to display the specified mail messages.  The
         -pr option suppresses this option.

     -header
         Print a header telling which message is being displayed.
         The header is in the following format:

         (Message folder:number).

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

     -help
         Print a usage message for show.

     -pr Invoke pr as the pagination program. The -pr option
         overrides the -format and -noformat options.

     -nopr
         Invoke the default pagination program.
