4 # ml is a mail reading interface for mh(1). the design is that of
5 # a thin wrapper (this script) which uses 'less' for message
6 # display, and mh commands for doing the real work.
7 #
8 # this script was completely and utterly inspired by a message
9 # posted by Ralph Corderoy to the nmh developer's list, describing
10 # his similar, unpublished, script:
11 # http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/nmh-workers/2012-02/msg00148.html
12 #
13 # see the usage() and help() functions, below, for more detail. (or
14 # use 'ml -?' for usage, and '?' within ml for help.)
15 #
16 # ml creates its own lesskeys map file the first time you run it,
17 # called ~/Mail/ml_lesskeymap.
18 #
19 # there are a number of places where i let ml invoke my own wrapper
20 # scripts to do something mh-like. these wrappers do things like
21 # provide safe(r) message deletion, select among repl formats, etc.
22 # all of these can be easily changed -- see the do_xxxx() functions.
23 # all are assumed to operate on mh-style message specifications, and
24 # on 'cur' by default.
25 #
26 # this script uses the sequences 'ml', 'mldel', 'mlspam', 'mlunr',
27 # 'mlkeep', and 'mlrepl'. it also manipulates the user's Unseen-sequence.
28 #
29 # the shell dialect used is very conservative. dash (debian's
30 # /bin/sh), bash, ksh, and solaris /bin/sh will all work, and probably
31 # the current bsd /bin/sh variants as well, with very slightly
32 # improved function in bash or ksh. the only non-posix shell feature
33 # used is an argument to "read". search for the function ask_init()
34 # for more detail.

153 usage: $me [ msgs | -s | -a ]
154 $me will present the specified 'msgs' (any valid MH message
155 specification). With no arguments, messages will come from
156 the '$ml_unseen_seq' sequence.
157 Use "$me -s" to get the status of sequences used internally by $me, or
158 "$me -a" to apply previous results (shouldn't usually be needed).
159 Use ? when in less to display help for '$me'.

171 "ml" takes an MH message specification as argument.
172 If none is specified, ml will operate on the sequence named "$ml_unseen_seq".
173
174 Messages are repeatedly displayed using 'less', which mostly
175 behaves as usual. less is configured with some special key
176 bindings which cause it to quit with special exit codes. These
177 in turn cause ml to execute distinct commands: they might cause
178 ml to display the next message, to mark the current message as
179 spam, to quit, etc.
180
181 The special key bindings within less are:
182
183 ? display this help (in a separate 'less' invocation)
184
185 ^ show first message
186 n,J show next message
187 p,P,K show previous message
188
189 d mark message for later deletion, by adding to sequence 'mldel'.
190 s mark message for later spam training, by adding to sequence 'mlspam'.
191 u mark message to remain "unread", by adding to sequence 'mlunr'.
192 U undo, i.e., remove it from any of 'mldel', 'mlspam', and 'mlunr'.
193
194 r compose a reply
195 R compose a reply to all message recipients
196 f forward the current message
197
198 S sort the messages, by subject and date
199 H render html from the message
200 V run 'urlview' on the message
201 E edit the raw message file
202
203 q quit. The 'mlunr' sequence will be added back to '$ml_unseen_seq',
204 messages in the 'mldel' are deleted, and those in 'mlspam'
205 are dealt with accordingly. Any messages that were read,
206 but not deleted or marked as spam will be left in the
207 'mlkeep' sequence. If ml dies unexpectedly (or the 'Q'
208 command is used instead of 'q'), "ml -a" (see below) can
209 be used to apply the changes that would have been made.
210
211 Q,X exit. Useful if you want to "start over". The '$ml_unseen_seq'
212 sequence will be restored to its previous state, and the
213 current message list is preserved to 'mlprev'. No other
214 message processing is done.
215
216 Any other command which causes less to quit will simply display
217 the next message. ('q', for instance)
218
219 ml recognizes three special commandline arguments:
220 "ml -s" will report the status of the sequences ml uses, which is
221 handy after quitting with 'X', for example.
222 "ml -a" will apply the changes indicated by the user -- messages
223 in the 'mldel' sequence are deleted, messages in the
224 'mlspam' sequence are trained and marked as spam, and
225 the 'mlunr' sequence is added to the '$ml_unseen_seq'
226 sequence.
227 "ml -k" will recreate the ml_lesskey file used by ml when running
228 less. ml will usually handle this automatically.
