🌸 NAME 🌸

okay bestie, welcome to LEI-LCAT(1) — the lei-lcat(1) page from the public-inbox user manual — and it is literally here to display local copy of messages(s). periodt. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

lei lcat [OPTIONS] MSGID_OR_URL [MSGID_OR_URL...]

lei lcat [OPTIONS] (--stdin|-)

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so lcat (local cat) is a wrapper around lei-q(1) that displays local messages by Message-ID. it can extract Message-IDs from URLs as well as from common formats such as "<$MSGID>" and "id:$MSGID". iconic behavior, honestly.

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). the way that saves you from regex pain? obsessed. 🫶

🎀 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 an 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).
