NAME
notmuch-reply - Constructs a reply template for a set of messages.
SYNOPSIS
notmuch reply [options...] <search-term>...
DESCRIPTION
Constructs a reply template for a set of messages.
To make replying to email easier, notmuch reply takes an existing set
of messages and constructs a suitable mail template. The Reply-to:
header (if any, otherwise From:) is used for the To: address. Unless
--reply-to=sender is specified, values from the To: and Cc: headers are
copied, but not including any of the current user's email addresses (as
configured in primary_mail or other_email in the .notmuch-config file)
in the recipient list.
It also builds a suitable new subject, including Re: at the front (if
not already present), and adding the message IDs of the messages being
replied to to the References list and setting the In-Reply-To: field
correctly.
Finally, the original contents of the emails are quoted by prefixing
each line with '> ' and included in the body.
The resulting message template is output to stdout.
Supported options for reply include
--format=(default|headers-only)
default
Includes subject and quoted message body.
headers-only
Only produces In-Reply-To, References, To, Cc, and Bcc
headers.
--reply-to=(all|sender)
all (default)
Replies to all addresses.
sender
Replies only to the sender. If replying to user's own
message (Reply-to: or From: header is one of the user's
configured email addresses), try To:, Cc:, and Bcc:
headers in this order, and copy values from the first
that contains something other than only the user's
addresses.
See notmuch-search-terms(7) for details of the supported syntax for
<search-terms>.
Note: It is most common to use notmuch reply with a search string
matching a single message, (such as id:<message-id>), but it can be
useful to reply to several messages at once. For example, when a series
of patches are sent in a single thread, replying to the entire thread
allows for the reply to comment on issue found in multiple patches.
