 PREV(1)                                                   PREV(1)
 
 
 
NAME
        prev - show the previous message
 
SYNOPSIS
        prev [+folder] [-showproc program] [-showmimeproc program]
             [-header] [-noheader] [-checkmime] [-nocheckmime]
             [-switches for showproc or showmimeproc]
             [-version] [-help]
 
DESCRIPTION
        Prev performs a show on the previous message in the speci­
        fied  (or  current)  folder.   Like  show,  it  passes any
        switches on to the program named by showproc or  showmime­
        proc,  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
        show(1), next(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.
