<h2 class="chapter">6 Reading Your Mail</h2>
<p><a name="index-g_t_0040samp_007b_002binbox_007d-305"></a><a name="index-MH_002dFolder-mode-306"></a><a name="index-MH_002dShow-mode-307"></a><a name="index-modes_002c-MH_002dFolder-308"></a><a name="index-modes_002c-MH_002dShow-309"></a><a name="index-reading-mail-310"></a><a name="index-mh_002drmail-311"></a><a name="index-F-r-312"></a><a name="index-F-v-313"></a><a name="index-M_002dx-mh_002drmail-314"></a>
The MH-E entry point for reading mail is <kbd>M-x mh-rmail</kbd>. This
command incorporates your mail and creates a buffer called
`<samp><span class="samp">+inbox</span></samp>' in MH-Folder mode. The command <kbd>M-x mh-rmail</kbd> shows
you only new mail, not mail you have already read<a rel="footnote" href="#fn-1" name="fnd-1"><sup>1</sup></a>.
<p><a name="index-display_002dtime-315"></a><a name="index-read_002dmail_002dcommand-316"></a>
There are some commands that need to read mail, such as <kbd>Mouse-2</kbd>
over the `<samp><span class="samp">Mail</span></samp>' button that <code>display-time</code> adds to the mode
line. You can configure Emacs to have these commands use MH-E by
setting the option <code>read-mail-command</code> to `<samp><span class="samp">mh-rmail</span></samp>'.
<p><a name="index-g_t_0040command_007bscan_007d-317"></a><a name="index-g_t_0040samp_007bMessage_007d-menu-318"></a><a name="index-MH-commands_002c-_0040command_007bscan_007d-319"></a><a name="index-menu_002c-_0040samp_007bMessage_007d-320"></a><a name="index-scan-lines-321"></a>
The `<samp><span class="samp">+inbox</span></samp>' buffer contains <dfn>scan lines</dfn>, which are one-line
summaries of each incorporated message. You can perform most MH
commands on these messages via one- or two-letter commands in either
the MH-Folder or MH-Show buffers or by using the `<samp><span class="samp">Message</span></samp>' menu.
See <samp><span class="command">scan</span></samp>(1) for a description of the contents of the scan
lines, and see the Figure in <a href="Reading-Mail-Tour.html#Reading-Mail-Tour">Reading Mail Tour</a>, for an example.
