3.4.1: Incorporating Your Mail

The name of the program that incorporates new mail is stored in mh-inc-prog; it is `"inc"' by default. This program generates a one-line summary for each of the new messages. Unless it is an absolute pathname, the file is assumed to be in the mh-progs directory. You may also link a file to inc that uses a different format (see mh-profile(5)). You'll then need to modify several variables appropriately; see mh-scan-prog below. You can set the hook mh-inc-folder-hook, which is called after new mail is incorporated by the i (mh-inc-folder) command. A good use of this hook is to rescan the whole folder either after running M-x mh-rmail the first time or when you've changed the message numbers from outside of mh-e.

Rescan folder after incorporating new mail via mh-inc-folder-hook

(defun my-mh-inc-folder-hook ()
  "Hook to rescan folder after incorporating mail."
  (if (buffer-modified-p)            ; if outstanding refiles and deletes,
      (mh-execute-commands))         ;   carry them out
  (mh-rescan-folder)                 ; synchronize with +inbox
  (mh-show))                         ; show the current message
