Message filtering for specific information

At your mailbox prompt, you can use the f subcommand in the ways shown in the following examples to filter messages according to the information that you want.

Item Description
f Displays header information for the current message.
f 1 4 7 Displays header information for the specific messages 1, 4, and 7.
f 1-10 Displays header information for a range of messages 1 through 10.
f * Displays all messages.
f ron Messages, if any, from user ron are displayed. The characters entered for an address do not need to exactly match the address; therefore, the request for address ron in either uppercase or lowercase letters matches all of the following addresses:
RoN
ron@topdog
hron
rOn
fmeet Messages, if any, where the Subject: field contains the letters meet are displayed. The characters entered for a pattern do not need to exactly match the Subject: field. They must only be contained in the Subject: field in either uppercase or lowercase letters; therefore, the request for subject meet matches all of the following subjects:
Meeting on Thursday
Come to meeting tomorrow
MEET ME IN ST. LOUIS
