NAME
       prev - show the previous nmh message

SYNOPSIS
       prev [-help] [-version] [+folder] [-showproc program] [-showmimeproc program] [-header | -no‐‐
            header] [-checkmime | -nocheckmime] [switches for showproc or showmimeproc]

DESCRIPTION
       prev performs a show on the previous message in the  specified  (or  current)  folder.   Like
       show,  it  passes  any switches on to the program named by showproc or showmimeproc, which is
       called to list the message.  This command is almost exactly equivalent to “show prev”.   Con‐
       sult 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
       next(1), show(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.
