Hi!
In MH 6.8.4 a new feature was introduced for skipping parts of multipart
messages. Traditionally you needed to generate SIGINT to skip a part or
SIGQUIT to exit mhn. The new feature allowed you to skip a part at the
"Press <return> to show" prompt.
I've added this functionality to mhshow. The first letter of user input
is checked and the following action taken:
- "n" skips the next part (i.e. "no")
- "q" exits mhshow immediately (i.e. "quit")
Some of you might notice that this is different from MH 6.8.4. It used
"q" for skipping a part and had no input to exit. I think the above
responses are more semantically correct.
The old SIGINT/SIGQUIT behaviour is of course still there.
Patch attached below.
Cheers,
+ Kim
