okay so picture this: you're deep in LogReport's Lire Documentation (that's the manual this lil page lives in, hii 👋) and you just need to send a MIME email from the command line. that's literally what lr_mail does. no cap.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

lr_mail [options] content-type file sendto...

like, options first, then the content-type, then the file, then who you're sending it to. periodt. 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

lr_mail is a command line MIME mailer that runs on MIME::Tools. that's it, that's the vibe. it takes your content type and your file and makes a whole MIME email happen. iconic behavior honestly 🦋

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -f email — sets the from</> address. if you don't pass it, it defaults to whatever the lr_from configuration variable is set to. so like, it'll figure it out, but you can absolutely be the main character and set it yourself 💖
  • -r email — sets the reply-to</> address. defaults to the value of the lr_reply_to configuration variable. lowkey useful, ngl 🫶
  • -s subject — sets the subject of the email. yes bestie you gotta tell people what it's about 📧
  • -c content-type — sets the content-type for the next attachment. key words: the next one. so the order you do things in actually matters here, okurrr ⭐
  • -a file — attach another file to the email. stack 'em up, one -a at a time, slay 🌈
