- READ - read messages
-
- Usage: READ [message-sequence]
- Unless specified, the message-sequence is "unseen".
-
- The READ command is used to read a message or set of messages. After each
- message is displayed, you will be in READ mode (Read> prompt), at which
- point you can take action on the current message, like DELETE, REPLY,
- FORWARD, and so on. Compare to TYPE, which only displays messages.
-
- Examples:
- MM>read #reads unseen messages
- MM>read 4:9 #reads messages 4 to 9
- MM>read subj meeting #reads messages with "meeting" in subject
-
- Good use of message-sequences gets useful results, such as:
- MM>read from walter after 4/1/90 subj mail
- You could use HEADERS first, and then READ PREV (previous sequence).
