NAME
lei-lcat - display local copy of messages(s)
SYNOPSIS
lei lcat [OPTIONS] MSGID_OR_URL [MSGID_OR_URL...]
lei lcat [OPTIONS] (--stdin|-)
DESCRIPTION
lcat (local cat) is a wrapper around lei-q(1) that displays local messages by Message-ID. It is able to extract Message-IDs from URLs as well as from common formats such as "<$MSGID>" and "id:$MSGID". When reading from stdin, input that isn't understood is discarded, so the caller doesn't have to bother extracting the Message-ID or link from surrounding text (e.g., a "Link: $URL" line).
OPTIONS
The following options, described in lei-q(1), are supported. One deviation from lei-q(1) is the default output format is "-f text" when writing to stdout.
- --format=FORMAT
- -f FORMAT
- Most commonly "text" (the default) or "reply" to display the message(s) in a format suitable for trimming and sending as a email reply.
- --stdin
- -
- "lei lcat" implicitly reads from stdin if it is a pipe(7) or regular file. This is handy for invoking "lei lcat" from inside an $EDITOR session (assuming you use an $EDITOR which lets you pipe arbitrary lines to arbitrary commands).
