                      3: .i Mail
                      4: to read your mail, it lists the message headers that you have.
                      5: These headers tell you who each message is from, when they were
                      6: sent, how many lines and characters each message is, and the
                      7: .q "Subject:"
                      8: header field of each message, if present.  In addition,
                      9: .i Mail
                     10: tags the message header of each message that has been the object
                     11: of the
                     12: .b preserve
                     13: command with a
                     14: .q P.

                     22: .b deleted
                     23: messages are not printed at all.  If you wish to reprint the current
                     24: list of message headers, you can do so with the
                     25: .b headers
                     26: command.  The
                     27: .b headers
                     28: command (and thus the initial header listing)
                     29: only lists the first so many message headers.
                     30: The number of headers listed depends on the speed of your
                     31: terminal.
                     32: This can be overridden by specifying the number of headers you
                     33: want with the
                     34: .i window
                     35: option.
                     36: .i Mail
                     37: maintains a notion of the current
                     38: .q window
                     39: into your messages for the purposes of printing headers.

                     53: .b headers
                     54: command can be abbreviated to
                     55: .b h .
