5.2.3 Reader Functions for Scanning and Searching for Messages

Function: scan, bound to: *

Scan all message areas for new messages.

Function: scan_unscanned, bound to: #

Scan message areas for new messages, but only scan areas that have not been scanned previously.

Function: pmail, bound to: Alt-P

Personal mail scan: this scans all message areas for messages addressed to you.

Function: spmail, not pre-bound to any key

This scans for messages addressed to you in the current area only.

Allows you to search a message area for a specific keyword. The search direction will be the direction that you previously moved into. For example, in order to search a complete message area backwards for a certain mail, you must press End to go to the end of the area, then press Left in order to set the search direction to “backwards”, and then press Alt-F to start the search.

Function: hdrsearch, bound to: Alt-Z

This works like search, but only scans message headers.
