NAME
     new - report on nmh folders with new messages
     fnext - set current nmh folder to next folder with new messages
     fprev - set current nmh folder to previous folder with new messages
     unseen - scan any new messages in all nmh folders

SYNOPSIS
     new [-help] [-version] [sequences] [-mode mode] [-folders foldersfile]

     fnext is equivalent to new -mode fnext

     fprev is equivalent to new -mode fprev

     unseen is equivalent to new -mode unseen

DESCRIPTION
     new,  in  its  default  mode, produces a one-line-per-folder listing of all
     folders which contain messages in the specified sequences, or  in	the  se-
     quence(s)	listed	in  the profile entry "Unseen-Sequence".  Each line con-
     sists of the folder name, the total number of messages in the specified se-
     quences, and a list of messages derived from the  .mh_sequence  file.   For
     example:

	  foo	  11.* 40-50
	  bar	 380.  760-772 824-828
	   total    391.

     The  `*'  on  foo	indicates  that it is the current folder.  The last line
     shows the total number of messages in the desired sequences.

     new crawls the folder hierarchy recursively to find all folders, and prints
     them in lexicographic order.  Override this behavior by providing a folder-
     sfile containing the pre-sorted list of folders which new should check, one
     per line.

     In fnext and fprev modes, new changes to  the  next  or  previous	matching
     folder, respectively.

     In unseen mode, new executes scan sequences for each matching folder.

FILES
