🌸 NAME 🌸

from — the manual page for from version 3.16. that's it, that's the name section, she's brief and she's iconic 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

from [OPTION...] [OPTIONS] [USER]

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

GNU from — it displays the from and the subject. like, who sent it, what's it about. your inbox's little vibe check 🔥

  • -c, --[no-]count — just print a count of messages and dip. that's the whole job. exit. bye 👋
  • -d, --debug — turns on debugging output, so you can see what's actually going on under the hood 🔍
  • -f, --file=FILE — read mail from FILE instead of wherever it'd normally look 🎀
  • -s, --sender=ADDRESS — print only mail from addresses containing the string you supply. so if you pass a string, only senders whose address contains it get shown 💌

🌈 Global debugging settings

  • --debug-level=LEVEL — sets the Mailutils debugging level ⭐
  • --[no-]debug-line-info — show source info along with debugging messages 👀

🧚 Configuration handling

  • --config-file=FILE — load this configuration file. heads up: this implies --no-config 🫶
  • --config-lint — check configuration file syntax and exit. like a lil spellcheck for your config ✨
  • --config-verbose — verbosely log parsing of the configuration files 📝
  • --no-config — do not load site and user configuration files 🚫
  • --no-site-config — do not load the site-wide configuration file
  • --no-user-config — do not load the user configuration file
  • --set=PARAM=VALUE — set a configuration parameter 🎚️

👑 Informational options

  • --config-help — show configuration file summary
  • --show-config-options — show compilation options
  • -?, --help — give this help list (the one you're reading, spiritually)
  • --usage — give a short usage message
  • -V, --version — print program version
⚠️ real talk: mandatory or optional arguments to long options are also mandatory or optional for any corresponding short options. that's the rule, no cap.
