Useful article: "Rendering Everything as Text"

Though this article covers mutt instead of nmh, some techniques apply:

It's about viewing HTML, graphics, and Word files in a terminal.

BUG: cur updated too early on show

If I

   show all

and quit "prematurely" cur is now last, and not the file being displayed when
I quit (or even the cur before I quit). This is probably due to an optimization
to pass the expanded sequence all to the pager to avoid multiple invocations.
Most pagers are light weight and this is usually not a problem on modern
systems. I, however have no easy solution.

That's a feature, not a bug.

Similarly,

	show 107 96 107

will only show 107 once.  The message list is always sorted, and
duplicated removed, before any use is made of it.

Interestingly, although I know this is a feature as well, I could not
find it documented in the show, scan (where it would also apply), or
mh man pages. However, the uniqueness is documented in the mh-sequence
man page:

  Repeated specifications of the same message have the same effect as
  a single specification of the message.

This is not a bug, it's just the way it works.

show works as documented:

    CONTEXT
           If a folder is given, it will become the current folder.
           The last message shown will become the current message.

As far as show is concerned, it has shown the last message since it
passed them all to the showproc.

You can achieve the behavior you want by calling show individually on
each message in the sequence with the following script:

   msgs=$ <at> 
   for i in `scan -format '%(msg)' $msgs`; do show $i; done

The 'unseen' sequence is similarly affected, which I've always
found mildly annoying (it's much harder to recreate from memory than
cur, for a start...)

Hi Jerrad,

I've found this annoying occasionally too;  and there's no option to
turn it off.

Instead, I either use multiple shows, or refile, maybe with -link, into
another (temporary) folder so I can get them in the order I want.

Cheers,

Ralph.
