NAME

mu-view - display an e-mail message file

SYNOPSIS

mu [common options] view [options] [<file> …]

DESCRIPTION

mu view is the mu command for displaying e-mail message files. It works on message files and does not require the message to be indexed in the database.

The command shows some common headers (From:, To:, Cc:, Bcc:, Subject: and Date:), the list of attachments and either the plain-text or html body of the message (if any), or its s-expression representation.

If no message file is provided, the command reads the message from standard-input.

VIEW OPTIONS

–format,-o = <format>

use the given output format, one of:

• plain - use the plain-text body; this is the default
• html - use the HTML body
• sexp - show the S-expression representation of the message

–summary-len=<number>

instead of displaying the full message, output a summary based upon the first <number> lines of the message.

–terminate

terminate messages with \\​f (form-feed) characters when displaying them. This is useful when you want to further process them.

–decrypt

attempt to decrypt encrypted message bodies. This is only possible if mu was built with crypto-support.

–auto-retrieve

attempt to retrieve crypto-keys automatically from the network, when needed.
