NEW(1mh)                                                              NEW(1mh)

NAME
       new - report on nmh folders with new messages
       fnext - set current nmh folder to next folder with new messages
       fprev - set current nmh folder to previous folder with new messages
       unseen - scan any new messages in all nmh folders

SYNOPSIS
       new [-help] [-version] [sequences] [-mode mode] [-folders foldersfile]

       fnext is equivalent to new -mode fnext

       fprev is equivalent to new -mode fprev

       unseen is equivalent to new -mode unseen

DESCRIPTION
       new, in its default mode, produces a one-line-per-folder listing of all
       folders which contain messages in the specified sequences,  or  in  the
       sequence(s)  listed  in the profile entry "Unseen-Sequence".  Each line
       consists of the folder name, the total number of messages in the speci-
       fied  sequences,  and  a list of messages derived from the .mh_sequence
       file.  For example:

            foo     11.* 40-50
            bar    380.  760-772 824-828
             total    391.

       The `*' on foo indicates that it is the current folder.  The last  line
       shows the total number of messages in the desired sequences.

       new  crawls  the  folder hierarchy recursively to find all folders, and
       prints them in lexicographic order.  Override this behavior by  provid-
       ing  a  foldersfile containing the pre-sorted list of folders which new
       should check, one per line.

       In fnext and fprev modes, new changes to the next or previous  matching
       folder, respectively.

       In unseen mode, new executes scan sequences for each matching folder.
