14 lcat (local cat) is a wrapper around lei-q(1) that displays local
15 messages by Message-ID. It is able to extract Message-IDs from URLs as
16 well as from common formats such as "<$MSGID>" and "id:$MSGID". When
17 reading from stdin, input that isn't understood is discarded, so the
18 caller doesn't have to bother extracting the Message-ID or link from
19 surrounding text (e.g., a "Link: $URL" line).
20
22 The following options, described in lei-q(1), are supported. One
23 deviation from lei-q(1) is the default output format is "-f text" when
24 writing to stdout.
25
26 --format=FORMAT
27 -f FORMAT
28 Most commonly "text" (the default) or "reply" to display the
29 message(s) in a format suitable for trimming and sending as a email
30 reply.
31
32 --stdin
33 - "lei lcat" implicitly reads from stdin if it is a pipe(7) or
34 regular file. This is handy for invoking "lei lcat" from inside an
35 $EDITOR session (assuming you use an $EDITOR which lets you pipe
36 arbitrary lines to arbitrary commands).
