MU VIEW(1)		    General Commands Manual		    MU VIEW(1)

NAME
       mu-view - display an e-mail message file

SYNOPSIS
       mu [COMMON OPTIONS] view	[OPTIONS] [FILE...]

DESCRIPTION
       mu view is the mu command for displaying	e-mail message files. It works
       on  message files and does not require the message to be	indexed	in the
       database.

       The command shows some common headers (From:, To:, Cc:, Bcc:,  Subject:
       and  Date:),  the list of attachments and either	the plain-text or html
       body of the message (if any), or	its s-expression representation.

       If no message file is provided, the  command  reads  the	 message  from
       standard-input.

VIEW OPTIONS
   -o, --format	format
       Use the given output format, one	of:

       --  plain: use the plain-text body; this	is the default,

       --  html: use the HTML body,

       --  sexp: show the S-expression representation of the message.

   --summary-len number
       Instead of displaying the full message, output a	summary	based upon the
       first number lines of the message.

   --terminate
       Terminate messages with \f (form-feed) characters when displaying them.
       This is useful when you want to further process them.

   --decrypt
       Attempt	to  decrypt encrypted message bodies. This is only possible if
       mu was built with crypto-support.

   --auto-retrieve
       Attempt to retrieve crypto-keys automatically from  the	network,  when
       needed.

COMMON OPTIONS
   -d, --debug
       Makes  mu  generate  extra  debug information, useful for debugging the
       program itself. Debug information goes to the  standard	logging	 loca-
       tion; see mu(1).

   -q, --quiet
       Causes mu not to	output informational messages and progress information
       to standard output, but only to the log file. Error messages will still
       be  sent	 to  standard  error.  Note  that mu index is much faster with
       --quiet,	so it is recommended you use this option when  using  mu  from
       scripts etc.

   --log-stderr
       Causes  mu to not output	log messages to	standard error,	in addition to
       sending them to the standard logging location.

   --nocolor
       Do not use ANSI colors. The environment variable	NO_COLOR can  be  used
       as an alternative to --nocolor.

   -V, --version
       Prints mu version and copyright information.

   -h, --help
       Lists the various command line options.
