<h2 class="chapter">17 Limiting Display</h2>
<p><a name="index-limits-1824"></a><a name="index-filters-1825"></a>
Another way to organize messages in a folder besides threading
(see <a href="Threading.html#Threading">Threading</a>) or using full-text indexed searches
(see <a href="Searching.html#Searching">Searching</a>) is by limiting the folder display to messages that
are similar to the current message.

<p>All of the limiting commands above refine the display in some way.
<p><a name="index-g_t_0040command_007bpick_007d-1848"></a><a name="index-MH-commands_002c-_0040command_007bpick_007d-1849"></a><a name="index-mh_002dnarrow_002dto_002dcc-1850"></a><a name="index-mh_002dnarrow_002dto_002dfrom-1851"></a><a name="index-mh_002dnarrow_002dto_002dsubject-1852"></a><a name="index-mh_002dnarrow_002dto_002dto-1853"></a><a name="index-g_t_002f-c-1854"></a><a name="index-g_t_002f-m-1855"></a><a name="index-g_t_002f-s-1856"></a><a name="index-g_t_002f-t-1857"></a>
The commands <kbd>/ c</kbd> (<code>mh-narrow-to-cc</code>), <kbd>/ m</kbd>
(<code>mh-narrow-to-from</code>), <kbd>/ s</kbd> (<code>mh-narrow-to-subject</code>),
and <kbd>/ t</kbd> (<code>mh-narrow-to-to</code>) restrict the display to
messages matching the content of the respective field in the current
message. However, you can give any of these a prefix argument to edit
the <samp><span class="command">pick</span></samp> expression used to narrow the view<a rel="footnote" href="#fn-1" name="fnd-1"><sup>1</sup></a>.
<p><a name="index-g_t_0040samp_007btick_007d-sequence-1858"></a><a name="index-sequence_002c-_0040samp_007btick_007d-1859"></a><a name="index-ticked-messages_002c-viewing-1860"></a><a name="index-mh_002dnarrow_002dto_002drange-1861"></a><a name="index-mh_002dnarrow_002dto_002dtick-1862"></a><a name="index-g_t_002f-_0027-1863"></a><a name="index-g_t_002f-g-1864"></a>
You can also limit the display to messages in the `<samp><span class="samp">tick</span></samp>' sequence
with the command <kbd>/ '</kbd> (<code>mh-narrow-to-tick</code>).
See <a href="Sequences.html#Sequences">Sequences</a>, for information on putting message into the
`<samp><span class="samp">tick</span></samp>' sequence. Use the <kbd>/ g</kbd> (<code>mh-narrow-to-range</code>)
command to limit the display to messages in a range (see <a href="Ranges.html#Ranges">Ranges</a>).
<p><a name="index-mh_002dwiden-1865"></a><a name="index-g_t_002f-w-1866"></a>
Each limit can be undone in turn with the <kbd>/ w</kbd> (<code>mh-widen</code>)
command. Give this command a prefix argument to remove all limits.
