new - report on nmh folders with new messages

new, in its default mode, produces a one-line-per-folder listing of all folders which contain messages in
       the  specified sequences, or in the sequence(s) listed in the profile entry “Unseen-Sequence”.  Each line
       consists of the folder name, the total number of messages in the  specified  sequences,  and  a  list  of
       messages derived from the .mh_sequence file.  For example:

            foo     11.* 40-50
            bar    380.  760-772 824-828
             total    391.

       The `*' on foo indicates that it is the current folder.  The last line shows the total number of messages
       in the desired sequences.

       new  crawls the folder hierarchy recursively to find all folders, and prints them in lexicographic order.
       Override this behavior by providing a foldersfile containing the pre-sorted list  of  folders  which  new
       should check, one per line.

       In fnext and fprev modes, new changes to the next or previous matching folder, respectively.

       In unseen mode, new executes scansequences for each matching folder.
