David Bremner 482033f8f8 man/*: formatting cleanup
Fix some problems with indentation (controlled by markup) and
whitespace.

- notmuch.1: reformat

  Use .SS macro to make "notmuch setup" a subsection. Introduce another
  subsection for the remaining commands.

- notmuch-config.1: reformat

   Put all the syntax in the synopsis. Supposedly this is the the UNIX way.

- notmuch-reply.1: fix formatting issues.

  Give nicer formatting for synopsis.

  Insert missing SEE ALSO header.

- notmuch-dump.1: reformat using subsections

  These seems more natural, although, as mentioned, it does require
  referring back to the synopsis. Or maybe copying parts of the
  synopsis

.TH NOTMUCH-REPLY 1 2011-12-04 "Notmuch 0.10.2"
.SH NAME
notmuch-reply \- Constructs a reply template for a set of messages.
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B notmuch reply
.RI "[" options "...] <" search-term ">..."
.SH DESCRIPTION
Constructs a reply template for a set of messages.
To make replying to email easier,
.B notmuch reply
takes an existing set of messages and constructs a suitable mail
template. The Reply-to header (if any, otherwise From:) is used for
the To: address. Vales 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
.B reply
include
.RS
.TP 4
.BR \-\-format= ( default | headers\-only )
.RS
.TP 4
.BR default
Includes subject and quoted message body.
.TP
.BR headers\-only
Only produces In\-Reply\-To, References, To, Cc, and Bcc headers.

See the
.B "SEARCH SYNTAX"
section below for details of the supported syntax for <search-terms>.
Note: It is most common to use
.B "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 issue found in multiple patches.
