mh-e: Reading Mail Tour

 
 3.2 Receiving Mail
 ==================
 
 To read the mail you’ve just sent yourself, enter ‘M-x mh-rmail’.  This
 incorporates the new mail and puts the output from ‘inc’(1) (called
 “scan lines” after the MH program ‘scan’(2) which prints a one-line
 summary of each message) into a buffer called ‘+inbox’ whose major mode
 is MH-Folder.
 
 
 
      The ‘M-x mh-rmail’ command will show you only new mail, not mail
      you have already read.  If you were to run this tour again, you
      would use ‘F r’ to pull all your messages into MH-E.
 
    You should see the scan line for your message, and perhaps others.
 Use ‘n’ or ‘p’ to move the cursor to your test message and type <RET> to
 read your message.  You should see something like:
 
        3 t08/24 root       received fax files on Wed Aug 24 11:00:13 PDT 1
      # 4+t08/24 To:wohler  Test<<This is a test message to get the wheels

      This is a test message to get the wheels churning...

    After incorporating new messages
 
    If you typed a long message, you can view subsequent pages with <SPC>
 and previous pages with <DEL>.
