Use the program and option directives to document the subcommand options. This unifies a lot of option documentation throughout. This also makes it possible to reference options with :option:`--foo` (within .. program::) or :option:`subcommand --foo` (globally). This is left for later work. See https://www.sphinx-doc.org/en/master/usage/restructuredtext/domains.html#directive-program Note: There is a lot of indentation change, but intentionally there is no reflow. Using 'git diff -w' or 'git show -w' to ignore white space changes makes this a very easy change to review.

SYNOPSIS
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
**notmuch** **reply** [option ...] <*search-term*> ...
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
Constructs a reply template for a set of messages.
|
|
|
|
To make replying to email easier, **notmuch reply** takes an existing
|
|
set of messages and constructs a suitable mail template. Its To:
|
|
address is set according to the original email in this way: if the
|
|
Reply-to: header is present and different from any To:/Cc: address it
|
|
is used, otherwise From: header is used. Unless
|
|
``--reply-to=sender`` is specified, values from the To: and Cc: headers
|
|
are copied, but not including any of the current user's email addresses
|
|
(as configured in primary\_mail or other\_email in the .notmuch-config
|
|
file) in the recipient list.
|
|
|
|
It also builds a suitable new subject, including Re: at the front (if
|
|
not already present), and adding the message IDs of the messages being
|
|
replied to to the References list and setting the In-Reply-To: field
|
|
correctly.
|
|
|
|
Finally, the original contents of the emails are quoted by prefixing
|
|
each line with '> ' and included in the body.
|
|
|
|
The resulting message template is output to stdout.
|
|
|
|
Supported options for **reply** include
|
|
|
|
.. program:: reply
|
|
|
|
.. option:: --format=(default|json|sexp|headers-only)
|
|
|
|
**default**
|
|
Includes subject and quoted message body as an RFC 2822
|
|
message.
|
|
|
|
**json**
|
|
Produces JSON output containing headers for a reply message
|
|
and the contents of the original message. This output can be
|
|
used by a client to create a reply message intelligently.
|
|
|
|
**sexp**
|
|
Produces S-Expression output containing headers for a reply
|
|
message and the contents of the original message. This output
|
|
can be used by a client to create a reply message
|
|
intelligently.
|
|
|
|
**headers-only**
|
|
Only produces In-Reply-To, References, To, Cc, and Bcc
|
|
headers.
|
|
|
|
.. option:: --format-version=N
|
|
|
|
Use the specified structured output format version. This is
|
|
intended for programs that invoke :any:`notmuch(1)` internally. If
|
|
omitted, the latest supported version will be used.
|
|
|
|
.. option:: --reply-to=(all|sender)
|
|
|
|
**all** (default)
|
|
Replies to all addresses.
|
|
|
|
**sender**
|
|
Replies only to the sender. If replying to user's own message
|
|
(Reply-to: or From: header is one of the user's configured
|
|
email addresses), try To:, Cc:, and Bcc: headers in this
|
|
order, and copy values from the first that contains something
|
|
other than only the user's addresses.
|
|
|
|
.. option:: --decrypt=(false|auto|true)
|
|
|
|
If ``true``, decrypt any MIME encrypted parts found in the
|
|
selected content (i.e., "multipart/encrypted" parts). Status
|
|
of the decryption will be reported (currently only supported
|
|
with ``--format=json`` and ``--format=sexp``), and on successful
|
|
decryption the multipart/encrypted part will be replaced by
|
|
the decrypted content.
|
|
|
|
If ``auto``, and a session key is already known for the
|
|
message, then it will be decrypted, but notmuch will not try
|
|
to access the user's secret keys.
|
|
|
|
Use ``false`` to avoid even automatic decryption.
|
|
|
|
Non-automatic decryption expects a functioning
|
|
:manpage:`gpg-agent(1)` to provide any needed credentials. Without
|
|
one, the decryption will likely fail.
|
|
|
|
Default: ``auto``
|
|
|
|
See :any:`notmuch-search-terms(7)` for details of the supported syntax for
|
|
<search-terms>.
|
|
|
|
Note: It is most common to use **notmuch reply** with a search string
|
|
matching a single message, (such as id:<message-id>), but it can be
|
|
useful to reply to several messages at once. For example, when a series
|
|
of patches are sent in a single thread, replying to the entire thread
|
|
allows for the reply to comment on issues found in multiple patches. The
|
|
default format supports replying to multiple messages at once, but the
|
|
JSON and S-Expression formats do not.
|
|
|
|
EXIT STATUS
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
This command supports the following special exit status codes
|
|
|
|
``20``
|
|
The requested format version is too old.
|
|
|
|
``21``
|
|
The requested format version is too new.
