man next (Commandes) - show the next message
NAME
next - show the next message
SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
Next performs a show on the next message in the specified (or current) folder. Like show, it passes any switches on to the program showproc or showmimeproc, which is called to list the message. This command is almost exactly equivalent to “show nextâ€. Consult the manual entry for show(1) for all the details.
FILES
^$HOME/.mhprofile~^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
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 next message in sequence) will become the current message.
BUGS
next is really a link to the show program. As a result, if you make a link to next and that link is not called next, 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 next to the entry.
