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 ac-
     cording  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 exam-
	     ple, completing threads where your replies were missing.

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