NAME

       prev - show the previous nmh message

SYNOPSIS

       prev [-help] [-version] [+folder] [-showproc program] [-showmimeproc program] [-header |
            -noheader] [-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”.
       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

       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.
