NAME

next − show the next message

SYNTAX

next [+foldername] [−header] [−noheader] [−showproc program] [−noshowproc] [switches for  showproc] [−help]

DESCRIPTION

The command next displays the next message in the current folder if you do not specify a folder with the +folder argument.  The next message is the one after the current message in the specified folder.  If you specify a folder with next, that folder will become the current folder.  The message that is shown will become the current message.

Like show, it passes any switches onto the program showproc, which is called to list the message. This command is very similar to show next.  See show() for more information.

The defaults for next are:
+folder defaults to the current folder
