NOTMUCH-EMACS-MUA(1)		    notmuch		  NOTMUCH-EMACS-MUA(1)

NAME
       notmuch-emacs-mua - send	mail with notmuch and emacs

SYNOPSIS
       notmuch emacs-mua [options ...] [<to-address> ... | <mailto-url>]

DESCRIPTION
       Start  composing	 an  email  in the Notmuch Emacs UI with the specified
       subject,	recipients, and	message	body, or mailto: URL.

       Supported options for emacs-mua include

       -h, --help
	      Display help.

       -s, --subject=<subject>
	      Specify the subject of the message.

       --to=<to-address>
	      Specify a	recipient (To).

       -c, --cc=<cc-address>
	      Specify a	carbon-copy (Cc) recipient.

       -b, --bcc=<bcc-address>
	      Specify a	blind-carbon-copy (Bcc)	recipient.

       -i, --body=<file>
	      Specify a	file to	include	into the body of the message.

       --hello
	      Go to the	Notmuch	hello screen instead of	the  message  composi-
	      tion window if no	message	composition parameters are given.

       --no-window-system
	      Even if a	window system is available, use	the current terminal.

       --client
	      Use  emacsclient(1), rather than emacs(1). For emacsclient(1) to
	      work, you	need an	already	running	Emacs with a  server,  or  use
	      --auto-daemon.

       --auto-daemon
	      Automatically start Emacs	in daemon mode,	if the Emacs server is
	      not running. Applicable with --client. Implies --create-frame.

       --create-frame
	      Create  a	 new  frame instead of trying to use the current Emacs
	      frame. Applicable	with --client.	This  will  be	required  when
	      Emacs  is	 running (or automatically started with	--auto-daemon)
	      in daemon	mode.

       --print
	      Output the resulting elisp to stdout instead of evaluating it.

       The supported positional	parameters and short options are a  compatible
       subset  of  the mutt(1) MUA command-line	options. The options and posi-
       tional parameters modifying the message	can't  be  combined  with  the
       mailto: URL.

       Options may be specified	multiple times.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
       EMACS  Name of emacs command to invoke. Defaults	to "emacs".

       EMACSCLIENT
	      Name  of	emacsclient  command  to  invoke.  Defaults  to	"emac-
	      sclient".

SEE ALSO
