USAGE
 R[ead] <msg_number> [<msg_number> . . .]
 <msg_number>
 <ENTER>

DESCRIPTION
 Each of these commands allows you to read a message (or
 messages) from the current mail area.  To read a specific
 message, you may either type "read #" or just the number by
 itself.  If there is a specific list of messages you are
 interested in (determined by the use of the L[ist] command, for
 instance), you can enter the list of message numbers
 (separated by spaces) on the "read" command-line.  You can also
 simply advance sequentially through the messages by just
 pressing the <ENTER> key.  This will display the next message in
 order.  The "read" command displays only an abbreviated portion
 of the mail headers.  If you want all the header lines
 displayed, use the V[erbose] command instead.

EXAMPLES
 read 3 5        (Display only messages 3 and 5)
 4               (Display message 4)
