- Description: Allows scanning the headers of all messages. All
- public messages will be displayed, along with private
- messages left either by you or for you, and password
- protected messages. Scanning does not update your last
- read message pointers, and can be used as a way to
- "look ahead" into your unread messages. SysOps will see
- a 'K' after the number of any killed messages.
