NAME

       lei-tag - set/unset metadata on messages

SYNOPSIS

       lei tag [OPTIONS] FILE [FILE...] METADATA [METADATA...]

       lei tag [OPTIONS] (-|--stdin) METADATA [METADATA...]

DESCRIPTION

       Set or unset volatile metadata on messages.  In JMAP terms, "volatile metadata" includes
       "mailboxes" (analogous to a folder or label) and a restricted set of "keywords".  This
       supported keywords are the combination of system keywords (seen, answered, flagged, and
       draft), which map to Maildir flags and mbox Status/X-Status headers, as well as reserved
       keywords (forwarded, phishing, junk, and notjunk).

       To add a label or keyword, prefix it with "+L:" and "+kw:", respectively.  To remove a
       label or keyword, use "-L:" or "-kw:".  For example, "+kw:flagged" would set the "flagged"
       keyword for the specified messages, and "-L:INBOX" would remove the "INBOX" label.

OPTIONS

       -F MAIL_FORMAT
       --in-format=MAIL_FORMAT
           Message input format: "eml", "mboxrd", "mboxcl2", "mboxcl", or "mboxo".

           Default: "eml"

       -q
       --quiet
           Suppress feedback messages.

LABELS

       Labels are user-defined values analogous to IMAP/JMAP mailbox names.  They must only
       contain lowercase characters, digits, and a limited amount of punctuation (e.g. ".", "-",
       "@").

       Messages may have multiple labels.

KEYWORDS

       Keywords are "flags" in Maildir and IMAP terminology.  Common keywords include: "seen",
       "answered", "flagged", and "draft", though "forwarded", "phishing", "junk", and "notjunk"
       are also supported.

       When writing to various mboxes, the common keywords will be mapped to the "Status" and
       "X-Status" headers.

       Messages may have multiple keywords.
