NAME

       next - show the next message (only available within the message handling system, mh)

SYNOPSIS

       next [+foldername] [-[no]header] [-help] [-showproc program] [-noshowproc] [options to showproc]

OPTIONS

       Displays  a  one-line  header before the message. The header consists of the name of the folder and the message number. This is the default
       behavior. It can be suppressed with the -noheader option.  Prints a list of the valid options to this command.	Specifies  an  alternative
       program	to list messages. The default is to use the program defined by the showproc: entry in the file. As with show, you can give options
       to the showproc program at the command line. These are passed directly to showproc by next. (If you specify an option that has a  numerical
       value, leave no space between the argument and the value.  See RESTRICTIONS for more information.)

       The defaults for this command are:

       +folder defaults to the current folder -header

DESCRIPTION

       The  command next displays the next message in the current folder. The next message is the one after the current message in the folder. The
       message that is shown becomes the current message.

       If you name a folder using the +folder argument, next displays the next message in the folder you specify. That folder becomes the  current
       folder.

RESTRICTIONS

       The  next command 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 avoid this, add a profile-entry for the link to your and add the argument next to the entry.

       Also, if you use the showproc switch to specify an alternative viewer, leave no space between the options specified  with  the  viewer  and
       their values. For example, if you want to use the more command to scroll through messages in your inbox folder, and you want to pause every
       five lines, you would enter the following command, where there is no space between the option n and the value 5: %  next  +inbox  -showproc
       more -n5

       If there is space between the option n and the value 5, the command interprets 5 as a message number to view.
