DESCRIPTION

       Neomutt  is  a  small  but very powerful text based program for reading and sending electronic mail under
       unix operating systems, including support for color terminals, MIME,  OpenPGP,  and  a  threaded  sorting
       mode.

       Note:  This  manual page gives a brief overview of neomutt's command line options. You should find a copy
       of the full manual in /usr/share/doc/neomutt, in text, HTML, and/or PDF format.

OPTIONS

       -A alias
              An expanded version of the given alias is passed to stdout.

       -a file [...]
              Attach a file to your message using MIME.  When attaching single  or  multiple  files,  separating
              filenames  and  recipient  addresses with "--" is mandatory, e.g. neomutt -a image.jpg -- addr1 or
              neomutt -a img.jpg *.png -- addr1 addr2.  The -a option must be placed at the end of command  line
              options.

       -b address
              Specify a blind-carbon-copy (BCC) recipient

       -c address
              Specify a carbon-copy (CC) recipient

       -d level
              log debugging output to ~/.neomuttdebug0.  Level can range from 1-5 and effects verbosity. A value
              of 2 is recommended.

       -D     Print the value of all configuration options to stdout.

       -D -S  like -D but hide the value of sensitive variables

       -E     Causes  the draft file specified by -H or include file specified by -i to be edited during message
              composition.

       -e command
              Specify a configuration command to be run after processing of initialization files.

       -f mailbox
              Specify which mailbox to load.

       -F neomuttrc

       -m type

       -n     Causes Neomutt to bypass the system configuration file.

       -p     Resume a postponed message.

       -Q query
              Query a configuration variables value.  The query is executed after all configuration  files  have
              been parsed, and any commands given on the command line have been executed.

       -R     Open a mailbox in read-only mode.

       -s subject
              Specify the subject of the message.

       -x     Emulate the mailx compose mode.

       -y     Start Neomutt with a listing of all mailboxes specified by the mailboxes command.

       -z     When used with -f, causes Neomutt not to start if there are no messages in the mailbox.

       -Z     Causes  Neomutt  to  open  the first mailbox specified by the mailboxes command which contains new
              mail.

       --     Treat remaining arguments as addr even if they start with a dash.  See also "-a" above.
