PREV(1mh)                                                                                  PREV(1mh)

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.
