Next: Processing Mail Tour, Previous: Sending Mail Tour, Up: Tour Through MH-E
To read the mail you've just sent yourself, enter M-x mh-rmail. This incorporates the new mail and puts the output from inc1 (called scan lines after the MH program scan2 which prints a one-line summary of each message) into a buffer called `+inbox' whose major mode is MH-Folder.
The M-x mh-rmail command will show you only new mail, not mail you have already read. If you were to run this tour again, you would use F r to pull all your messages into MH-E.
You should see the scan line for your message, and perhaps others. Use n or p to move the cursor to your test message and type <RET> to read your message. You should see something like:

If you typed a long message, you can view subsequent pages with <SPC> and previous pages with <DEL>.
