We mostly just cut and paste the command descriptions into individual files, with a short header added to each one. The splitting into subdirectories is to support the use of ./man as an element in MANPATH, e.g. for testing.

|

.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.
|
|
|
|

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.
