<p><a name="index-moving-between-messages-707"></a><a name="index-navigation-708"></a><a name="index-mh_002dfirst_002dmsg-709"></a><a name="index-mh_002dgoto_002dmsg-710"></a><a name="index-mh_002dlast_002dmsg-711"></a><a name="index-mh_002dnext_002dundeleted_002dmsg-712"></a><a name="index-mh_002dnext_002dunread_002dmsg-713"></a><a name="index-mh_002dprevious_002dundeleted_002dmsg-714"></a><a name="index-mh_002dprevious_002dunread_002dmsg-715"></a><a name="index-g-716"></a><a name="index-M_002d_003c-717"></a><a name="index-M_002d_003e-718"></a><a name="index-M_002dn-719"></a><a name="index-M_002dp-720"></a><a name="index-n-721"></a><a name="index-p-722"></a>
To move on to the next message, use the command <kbd>n</kbd>
(<code>mh-next-undeleted-msg</code>); use <kbd>p</kbd>
(<code>mh-previous-undeleted-msg</code>) to read the previous message. To
move to the next unread message, use <kbd>M-n</kbd>
(<code>mh-next-unread-msg</code>); use <kbd>M-p</kbd>
(<code>mh-previous-unread-msg</code>) to move to the previous unread
message. These commands can be given a prefix argument to specify how
many messages to skip (for example, <kbd>5 n</kbd>). You can also move to a
specific message with <kbd>g</kbd> (<code>mh-goto-msg</code>). You can enter the
message number either before or after typing <kbd>g</kbd>. In the latter
case, Emacs prompts you. Finally, you can go to the first or last
message with <kbd>M-&lt;</kbd> (<code>mh-first-msg</code>) and <kbd>M-&gt;</kbd>
(<code>mh-last-msg</code>) respectively.

   <p><a name="index-MH_002dFolder-mode-723"></a><a name="index-modes_002c-MH_002dFolder-724"></a><a name="index-next_002dline-725"></a><a name="index-previous_002dline-726"></a><a name="index-C_002dn-727"></a><a name="index-C_002dp-728"></a><a name="index-g_t_0040key_007bRET_007d-729"></a>
You can also use the Emacs commands <kbd>C-p</kbd> (<code>previous-line</code>)
and <kbd>C-n</kbd> (<code>next-line</code>) to move up and down the scan lines in
the MH-Folder window. These commands can be used in conjunction with
&lt;RET&gt; to look at deleted or refiled messages.

   <p><a name="index-deleting-messages-730"></a><a name="index-mh_002ddelete_002dmsg-731"></a><a name="index-d-732"></a><a name="index-n-733"></a><a name="index-p-734"></a>
To mark a message for deletion, use the command <kbd>d</kbd>
(<code>mh-delete-msg</code>). A `<samp><span class="samp">D</span></samp>' is placed by the message in the
scan window, and the next undeleted message is displayed. If the
previous command had been <kbd>p</kbd>, then the next message displayed is
the first undeleted message previous to the message just deleted. Use
<kbd>n</kbd> to force subsequent <kbd>d</kbd> commands to move forward to the
next undeleted message after deleting the message under the cursor. 
You may also specify a range (for example, <kbd>C-u d 1 3 5-7 last:5
frombob &lt;RET&gt;</kbd>, see <a href="Ranges.html#Ranges">Ranges</a>).

   <p><a name="index-mh_002ddelete_002dmsg_002dno_002dmotion-735"></a><a name="index-C_002dd-736"></a>
The command <kbd>C-d</kbd> (<code>mh-delete-msg-no-motion</code>) marks the
message (or messages in range) for deletion but leaves the cursor at
the current message in case you wish to perform other operations on
the message.

   <p><a name="index-mh_002ddelete_002dsubject-737"></a><a name="index-mh_002ddelete_002dsubject_002dor_002dthread-738"></a><a name="index-mh_002dthread_002ddelete-739"></a><a name="index-mh_002dundo-740"></a><a name="index-k-741"></a><a name="index-T-d-742"></a><a name="index-u-743"></a>
And to delete more messages faster, you can use <kbd>k</kbd>
(<code>mh-delete-subject-or-thread</code>) to delete all the messages with
the same subject as the current message. This command puts these
messages in a sequence named `<samp><span class="samp">subject</span></samp>'. You can undo this action
by using <kbd>u</kbd> (<code>mh-undo</code>) with a prefix argument and then
specifying the `<samp><span class="samp">subject</span></samp>' sequence. However, if the buffer is
displaying a threaded view of the folder then <kbd>k</kbd> behaves like
<kbd>T d</kbd> (<code>mh-thread-delete</code>). See <a href="Threading.html#Threading">Threading</a>.

   <p><a name="index-mh_002dexecute_002dcommands-744"></a><a name="index-x-745"></a>
However you mark a message for deletion, the command <kbd>x</kbd>
(<code>mh-execute-commands</code>) actually carries out the deletion
(see <a href="Folders.html#Folders">Folders</a>).

   <p><a name="index-mh_002ddelete_002dmsg_002dhook-746"></a>
The hook <code>mh-delete-msg-hook</code> is called after you mark a message
for deletion. For example, a past maintainer of MH-E used this once
when he kept statistics on his mail usage.
