Using the mail command it shows the messages I have and drops me into a prompt, but I cannot figure how to list the messages. Here is the help screen for mail:As you can see, none of these commands list the messages in the mailbox.
How can I list the messages in my mailbox?
mail command
hAlthough the help text may not be particularly clear, h is the command to list messages.  Placing a valid message number after h will list a range of messages containing the given one.  For instance, if you have 50 messages and type h30, it may list messages 21 through 40.fFor displaying only particular messages, you can use f with various qualifiers.  So, f* displays everything, while f 1-10 20-24 displays the messages 1 through 10 and 20 through 24.
