💌 IMCAT(1p) — the "show me the message" girlie 💌

okay bestie, so this page is from the Internet Message commands manual, and it's all about imcat. yes the name is literally "IM" + "cat" because it cats your mail, iconic behavior honestly 🐱✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

imcat — display mail/news message 💖

like, it shows you the message. that's the whole job. and it ate.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

imcat [OPTIONS] [FOLDER] MSG

that's the whole vibe. options optional, folder kinda optional, message required obviously 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

The imcat command shows the contents of the mail/news message stored in a folder. 📬

Simple. Elegant. Main character energy. You point it at a folder, you point it at a message, and it spills the whole thing for you.

This command is provided by IM (Internet Message). 🎀

💅 OPTIONS 💅

okay here's the part where I list every single one of them because we do not skip, we do not summarize, we are thorough queens 👑

  • -s, --src=FOLDER — Folder name. Default value is +inbox. And heads up: --src=+xxx is equivalent to +xxx. same thing, different fit ✨
  • -j, --join={on,off} — Join partial messages. 🧩 (yes, messages can come in pieces, and this stitches them together)
  • -b, --boundary={on,off} — Print start boundary for Mew version 1.x. 🚧
  • -S, --sshserver=SERVER — SSH port relay server. 🔐
  • -v, --verbose={on,off} — Print verbose messages when running. so it tells you what it's doing the whole time, like a friend live-texting you 📱
  • --debug=DEBUG_OPTION — Print debug messages when running. 🐛
  • -h, --help — Display help message and exit. classic. 💁♀️
  • --version — Output version information and exit. 🏷️
lowkey note: -j, -b and -v all take {on,off} values, so you have to give them one — no bare flags here bestie 🙈
