Reading Your Mail
=================

   The mh-e entry point for reading mail is `M-x mh-rmail'.  This
command incorporates your mail and creates a buffer called `+inbox' in
MH-Folder mode.  The `M-x mh-rmail' command shows you only new mail,
not old mail. (1)  The `+inbox' buffer contains "scan lines", which are
one-line summaries of each incorporated message.  You can perform most
MH commands on these messages via one-letter commands discussed in this
chapter.  See `scan'(1) for a description of the contents of the scan
lines, and see the Figure in Note: Reading Mail Tour, for an example.

`RET'
     Display a message (`mh-show').

`SPC'
     Go to next page in message (`mh-page-msg').

`BS'
     Go to previous page in message (`mh-previous-page').

`, (comma)'
     Display a message with all header fields (`mh-header-display').

`M-SPC'
     Go to next message in digest (`mh-page-digest').

`M-BS'
     Go to previous message in digest (`mh-page-digest-backwards').

`M-b'
     Break up digest into separate messages (`mh-burst-digest').

`n'
     Display next message (`mh-next-undeleted-msg').

`p'
     Display previous message (`mh-previous-undeleted-msg').

`g'
     Go to a message (`mh-goto-msg').

`M-<'
     Go to first message (`mh-first-msg').

`M->'
     Go to last message (`mh-last-msg').

`t'
     Toggle between MH-Folder and MH-Folder Show modes
     (`mh-toggle-showing').

   ---------- Footnotes ----------

   (1) If you want to see your old mail as well, use `M-r' to pull all
your messages into mh-e.  Or, give a prefix argument to `mh-rmail' so
it will prompt you for folder to visit like `M-f' (for example, `C-u
M-x mh-rmail <RET> bob <RET>').  Both `M-r' and `M-f' are described in
