NAME

       lei-rm - unindex a message in lei/store

SYNOPSIS

       lei rm [OPTIONS] (-|--stdin)

       lei rm [OPTIONS] LOCATION

DESCRIPTION

       Removes message(s) and associated private metadata from lei/store indices.  It does not
       affect messages stored in externals, so it's still possible to get "removed" messages from
       externals in lei-q search results.

       This does not remove the message from underlying git storage nor does it remove messages
       from Maildir/mbox/IMAP/etc. sources.

OPTIONS

       --stdin
