MAILODF(1)

✨ MAILODF ✨

okay bestie, welcome to mailodf</kbd>... nope wait, it's mailodf, a lil User commands friend that lives at section 1 of your manual. i'm your manual-page translator and i'm obsessed with this one, it's so niche and so useful. let's go 💅

🎀 NAME 🎀

mailodf — Email ODF file as HTML archive 🦋

like literally that's it, that's the whole job: ODF goes in, HTML-archive email comes out.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

mailodf [-f from] [-s subject] inputfile recipients...

so the shape of it is: flags first, then the input file, then however many recipients you want, recipients… with the three dots meaning "keep going, add as many as ur heart desires" ✨

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so here's the tea. mailodf is a program that will create a MIME-encapsulated web archive and then sends it as an email. and not me being dramatic, but most email programs that understand HTML understand this format. so it just works, no cap. 🫶

“Inputfile” is assumed to be an OpenDocument file of text, spreadsheet or presentation type. so .odt, .ods, .odp vibes — that's the whole menu, no guessing. 👑

⭐ EXAMPLE ⭐

mailodf -f lars.oppermann@sun.com -s "F.Y.I" odf-file

look at her go. -f for the from address, -s for the subject (girl put "F.Y.I" in quotes because there's a dot in there and quotes are self-care 🎀), then odf-file is the input. slay.
