MMSG(7) Miscellaneous Information Manual MMSG(7) NAME mmsg -- mblaze message argument syntax DESCRIPTION This document outlines the message syntax used by many of the utilities in the mblaze(7) message system. In general, you can always specify a filename as a message, if it contains a `/' character. (Use `./' to prefix messages in the current directory.) You can also specify a maildir folder, which will be expanded to all mes- sages in the cur/ directory. Ranges have the format `start:stop', where start and stop are one-based in- dexes into the sequence. Negative numbers count from the end. If start is the empty string, 1 will be used instead. If stop is the empty string, -1 will be used instead. Thus, `:' represents the whole sequence. If the range does not contain a `:', it is considered to be a single message, equivalent to the range `start:start' of size one. The special notation `start:+n', selects start and the next n messages. If the sequence is threaded, the following syntax may be used: `msg=' refers to the whole thread that contains msg. `msg^' refers to the parent of the message msg and may be repeated to refer to grandparents. `msg_' refers to the subthread headed by msg (i.e. all messages below msg, with more indentation). The following special shortcuts may be used: `-' refers to the message content read directly from the standard input. `.' refers to the current message. Additionally, the syntax `.+N' and `.-N' can be used to refer to messages relative to the current mes- sage. `+' refers to the next message (like `.+1') `.-' refers to the previous message (like `.-1') `$' refers to the last message (like `-1') `^' refers to the current parent message (like `.^') `=' refers to the current thread (like `.=') `_' refers to the current subthread (like `._') SEE ALSO mblaze(7) AUTHORS Leah Neukirchen <leah@vuxu.org> FreeBSD ports 15.quarterly July 3, 2020 MMSG(7)
