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 con-
tain messages in the specified sequences, or in the sequence(s) listed in the profile en-
try "Unseen-Sequence". Each line consists of the folder name, the total number of mes-
sages in the specified sequences, 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 lexi-
cographic order. Override this behavior by providing a foldersfile 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, respec-
tively.

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