SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

14       mu view is the mu command for displaying e-mail message files. It works
15       on message files and does not require the message to be indexed in  the
16       database.
17
18
19       The  command shows some common headers (From:, To:, Cc:, Bcc:, Subject:
20       and Date:), the list of attachments and the plain-text body of the mes‐
21       sage (if any).

VIEW OPTIONS

25   --summary-len=<number>
26       instead of displaying the full message, output a summary based upon the
27       first <number> lines of the message.
28
29
30   --terminate
31       terminate messages with $Iform-feed) characters when  displaying  them.
32       This is useful when you want to further process them.
33
34
35   --decrypt
36       attempt  to  decrypt encrypted message bodies. This is only possible if
37       mu was built with crypto-support.
38
39
40   --auto-retrieve
41       attempt to retrieve crypto-keys automatically from  the  network,  when
42       needed.

44

COMMON OPTIONS

46   -d, --debug
47       makes  mu  generate  extra  debug information, useful for debugging the
48       program itself. By default, debug information goes  to  the  log  file,
49       ~/.cache/mu/mu.log.   It  can safely be deleted when mu is not running.
50       When running with --debug option, the log file can grow rather quickly.
51       See the note on logging below.
52
53
54   -q, --quiet
55       causes mu not to output informational messages and progress information
56       to standard output, but only to the log file. Error messages will still
57       be  sent  to  standard  error.  Note  that mu index is much faster with
58       --quiet, so it is recommended you use this option when  using  mu  from
59       scripts etc.
60
61
62   --log-stderr
63       causes  mu to not output log messages to standard error, in addition to
64       sending them to the log file.
65
66
67   --nocolor
68       do not use ANSI colors. The environment variable NO_COLOR can  be  used
69       as an alternative to --nocolor.
70
71
72   -V, --version
73       prints mu version and copyright information.
74
75
76   -h, --help
77       lists the various command line options.
