Documentation

Visit FOLDER.

When you want to read the messages that you have refiled into folders, use this command to visit the folder. You are prompted for the folder name.

The folder buffer will show just unseen messages if there are any; otherwise, it will show all the messages in the buffer as long there are fewer than mh-large-folder messages. If there are more, then you are prompted for a range of messages to scan.

You can provide a prefix argument in order to specify a RANGE of messages to show when you visit the folder. In this case, regions are not used to specify the range and mh-large-folder is ignored. Check the documentation of mh-interactive-range to see how RANGE is read in interactive use.

Note that this command can also be used to create folders. If you specify a folder that does not exist, you will be prompted to create it.

Do not call this function from outside MH-E; use M-x mh-rmail (mh-rmail) instead.

If, in a program, RANGE is nil (the default), then all messages in FOLDER are displayed. If an index buffer is being created then INDEX-DATA is used to initialize the index buffer specific data structures.
