-o, --format format¶

Use the given output format, one of:

—

plain: use the plain-text body; this is the default,

—

html: use the HTML body,

—

sexp: show the S-expression representation of the message.

--summary-len number¶

Instead of displaying the full message, output a summary based upon the first number lines of the message.

--terminate¶

Terminate messages with \f (form-feed) characters when displaying them. This is useful when you want to further process them.

--decrypt¶

Attempt to decrypt encrypted message bodies. This is only possible if mu was built with crypto-support.

--auto-retrieve¶

Attempt to retrieve crypto-keys automatically from the network, when needed.

-d, --debug¶

Makes mu generate extra debug information, useful for debugging the program itself. Debug information goes to the standard logging location; see mu(1).

-q, --quiet¶

Causes mu not to output informational messages and progress information to standard output, but only to the log file. Error messages will still be sent to standard error. Note that mu index is much faster with --quiet, so it is recommended you use this option when using mu from scripts etc.

--log-stderr¶

Causes mu to not output log messages to standard error, in addition to sending them to the standard logging location.

--nocolor¶

Do not use ANSI colors. The environment variable NO_COLOR can be used as an alternative to --nocolor.

-V, --version¶

Prints mu version and copyright information.

-h, --help¶

Lists the various command line options.
