SYNOPSIS

mewl [options] [folder [range]]

DESCRIPTION

The mewl utility extracts necessary fields from messages stored in folders. This command is necessary for Mew to implement the asynchronous feature.

The options are as follows:

-a: Print all necessary fields when picking.
-b dir: Set the Mail home to dir.
-c bodylen: Set the max body length to be extracted to bodylen.
-d field: Set the field to be extracted to field.
-e command: Specify an external command to fetch mailbox.
-m options: Specify options for command.
-f fields: Specify fields to display.
-h: Display this help message.
-i file: Set the input stream to file.
-l length: Set the max field length to be extracted to length. The default value is 3. 0 means no limit.
-n: Don't use fstat().
-p pattern: Specify the pick pattern.
-s src: Set message source to src : '+folder range'.
-w: Wait for stdio input to synchronize.
-v: Display the version.
-x suffix: Use this suffix.
Definitions of the symbols above are as follows:
range: N | [start]-[end] | last:N
pattern: ´key=val' | 'key!=val' | '!<pattern>' | '(<pattern>)' | '<pattern>&<pattern>' | '<pattern>|<pattern>'

BUGS

If a field is long, only the beginning three lines are extracted by default.
