Many of the manpages didn't treat literal text as literal text. I've tried to normalize some of the restructured text to make it a bit more regular. several of the synopsis lines are still untouched by this cleanup, but i'm not sure what the right way to represent those is in .rst, actually. In particular find that if i rebuild the manpages, sometimes i end up with some of the synopsis lines showing – (U+2013 EN DASH) where they should have -- (2 × U+002D HYPHEN-MINUS) in the generated nroff output, though i have not tracked down the source of this error yet.

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
|
|
|
|
``--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.
|
|
|
|
``--format-version=N``
|
|
Use the specified structured output format version. This is
|
|
intended for programs that invoke **notmuch(1)** internally. If
|
|
omitted, the latest supported version will be used.
|
|
|
|
``--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.
|
|
|
|
``--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
|
|
**gpg-agent(1)** to provide any needed credentials. Without
|
|
one, the decryption will likely fail.
|
|
|
|
Default: ``auto``
|
|
|
|
See **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.
