If there is more to the message, you will be told how long it is and asked whether you wish to see the rest of the message. Skip this message and go on to the next message. The -s option is used for setting up the posting of messages. Print the first part of messages only. Disables the ability to save messages or enter the mailer.
Option causes only locally originated messages to be report- ed.
A message number can be given on the command line, causing msgs to start at the specified message rather than at the next message indicated by your .msgsrc file. Thus msgs -h 1 prints the first part of all messages. Start number messages back from the one indicated in the .msgsrc file, useful for reviews of recent messages. Within msgs you can also go to any specific message by typing its number when msgs requests input as to what to do.
