.SH SYNOPSIS
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
lei tag [OPTIONS] FILE [FILE...] METADATA [METADATA...]
.PP
lei tag [OPTIONS] (\-|\-\-stdin) METADATA [METADATA...]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
Set or unset volatile metadata on messages.  In JMAP terms, "volatile
metadata" includes "mailboxes" (analogous to a folder or label) and a
restricted set of "keywords".  This supported keywords are the
combination of system keywords (seen, answered, flagged, and draft),
which map to Maildir flags and mbox Status/X\-Status headers, as well
as reserved keywords (forwarded, phishing, junk, and notjunk).
.PP
To add a label or keyword, prefix it with "+L:" and "+kw:",
respectively.  To remove a label or keyword, use "\-L:" or "\-kw:".  For
example, "+kw:flagged" would set the "flagged" keyword for the
specified messages, and "\-L:INBOX" would remove the "INBOX" label.

.SH LABELS
.IX Header "LABELS"
Labels are user-defined values analogous to IMAP/JMAP mailbox
names.  They must only contain lowercase characters, digits, and
a limited amount of punctuation (e.g. \f(CW\*(C`.\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`\-\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`@\*(C'\fR).
.PP
Messages may have multiple labels.
.SH KEYWORDS
.IX Header "KEYWORDS"
Keywords are "flags" in Maildir and IMAP terminology.
Common keywords include: \f(CW\*(C`seen\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`answered\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`flagged\*(C'\fR, and
\&\f(CW\*(C`draft\*(C'\fR, though \f(CW\*(C`forwarded\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`phishing\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`junk\*(C'\fR, and \f(CW\*(C`notjunk\*(C'\fR
are also supported.
.PP
When writing to various mboxes, the common keywords will be
mapped to the \f(CW\*(C`Status\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`X\-Status\*(C'\fR headers.
.PP
Messages may have multiple keywords.
