Receiving Mail

Note: HTML conversion may not be complete.

To read the mail you've just sent yourself, enter M-x mh-rmail. mh-e will incorporate the new mail and put the output from inc (called scan lines after the MH program scan which prints a one-line summary of each message) into a buffer called +inbox whose major mode is MH-Folder.

NOTE: The M-x mh-rmail command will show you only new mail, not old mail. If you were to run this tour again, you would use M-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 the Figure After incorporating new messages:

Figure: After incorporating new messages

If you typed a long message, you can view subsequent pages with SPC and previous pages with DEL.
