MTHREAD(1)		    General Commands Manual		    MTHREAD(1)

NAME
       mthread -- arrange messages into	discussions

SYNOPSIS
       mthread [-vpr] [-S msg] [msgs ...]

DESCRIPTION
       mthread	groups	messages together in parent/child relationships, based
       on which	messages are replies to	which others.  (See  mmsg(7)  for  the
       message argument	syntax.)

       If  no  messages	 are  specified,  mthread will read filenames from the
       standard	input, or use the default sequence if used interactively.

       mthread prints the threaded messages separated by newlines and indented
       according to their depth	in the message tree.   Unresolved  Message-IDs
       are printed as-is.

       The options are as follows:

       -v      Do not prune unresolved Message-IDs at the top-level.

       -p      With -S,	only add parents, not unrelated	subthreads.

       -r      Sort  the  top-level  threads  in reverse order (newest threads
	       first).

       -S msg  Treat msg as optional message(s)	that will be added to  threads
	       only  if	 they  are referenced.	Threads	where all messages are
	       optional	are suppressed.	 You can  use  -S  to  add  an	outbox
	       folder, for example, completing threads where your replies were
	       missing.

EXIT STATUS
       The mthread utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
