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 according 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 example, completing threads where your replies were missing.
EXIT STATUS¶
The mthread
utility exits 0 on
success, and >0 if an error occurs.
