PREV(1)

NAME
       prev - show the previous message

SYNOPSIS
       prev [+folder] [-showproc program] [-showmimeproc program]
            [-header] [-noheader] [-checkmime] [-nocheckmime]
            [-switches for showproc or showmimeproc]
            [-version] [-help]

DESCRIPTION
       Prev performs a show on the previous message in the speci-
       fied  (or  current)  folder.   Like  show,  it  passes any
       switches on to the program named by showproc or  showmime-
       proc,  which  is called to list the message.  This command
       is almost exactly equivalent to "show prev".  Consult  the
       manual entry for show (1) for all the details.

FILES
       $HOME/.mh_profile                    The user profile

PROFILE COMPONENTS
       Path:                To determine the user's nmh directory
       Current-Folder:      To find the default current folder
       showproc:            Program to show non-MIME messages
       showmimeproc:        Program to show MIME messages

SEE ALSO
       show(1) next(1) 

DEFAULTS
       `+folder' defaults to the current folder
       `-checkmime'
       `-header'

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

BUGS
       prev  is  really a link to the show program.  As a result,
       if you make a link to prev and that  link  is  not  called
       prev, your link will act like show instead.  To circumvent
       this, add a profile-entry for the link to your nmh profile
       and add the argument prev to the entry.
