NOTMUCH-REPLY(1) General Commands Manual NOTMUCH-REPLY(1) 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-con- fig 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|json|headers-only) default Includes subject and quoted message body. json Produces JSON output containing headers for a reply message and the contents of the original message. This output can be used by a client to create a reply message intelligently. 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. --decrypt Decrypt any MIME encrypted parts found in the selected content (ie. "multipart/encrypted" parts). Status of the decryption will be reported (currently only supported with --format=json) and the multipart/encrypted part will be replaced by the decrypted content. 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 use- ful 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 issues found in multiple patches. The default format supports replying to multiple messages at once, but the JSON format does not. SEE ALSO

VACATION(1) BSD General Commands Manual VACATION(1) NAME
vacation -- return ``I am not here'' indication SYNOPSIS
vacation -dIi [-f databasefile] [-m messagefile] [-r interval] [-t interval] vacation -dj [-a alias] [-F F|R|S] [-f databasefile] [-m messagefile] [-s sender] [-T A|D] login DESCRIPTION
vacation returns a message to the sender of a message telling them that you are currently not reading your mail. The intended use is in a .forward file. For example, your .forward file might have: eric, "|/usr/bin/vacation -a allman eric" which would send messages to you (assuming your login name was eric) and reply to any messages for ``eric'' or ``allman''. Available options: -a alias Handle messages for alias in the same manner as those received for the user's login name. -d Turn debugging on; don't send an actual message, but print it on stdout. -f database_file Use the specified database_file prefix and append .db to it instead of $HOME/.vacation.db. -F F|R|S Make vacation additionally look in From: (F), Return-Path: (R), or Sender: (S) headers to determine the From: field. -i -I Initialize the vacation database files. It should be used before you modify your .forward file. -j Do not check if the recipient is present in the To: or Cc: lines. Usage of this option is strongly discouraged because it will result in vacation replying to mailing lists or other inappropriate places (e.g., messages that you have been Bcc to). -m message_file Use message_file instead of $HOME/.vacation.msg. -s sender Reply to sender instead of the value read from the message. -r interval -t interval Set the reply interval to interval days. If the interval number is followed by w, d, h, m, or s then the number is interpreted as weeks, days, hours, minutes, or seconds respectively. The default interval is one week. An interval of ``0'' means that a reply is sent to each message, and an interval of ``infinite'' (actually, any non-numeric character) will never send more than one reply. It should be noted that intervals of ``0'' are quite dangerous, as it allows mailers to get into ``I am on vacation'' loops. -T A|D Make vacation additionally look in Apparently-To: (A) or Delivered-To: (D) headers to determine the To: field. No message will be sent unless login (or an alias supplied using the -a option) is part of either the ``To:'' or ``Cc:'' headers of the mail. No messages from ``???-REQUEST'', ``Postmaster'', ``UUCP'', ``MAILER'', or ``MAILER-DAEMON'' will be replied to (where these strings are case insensitive) nor is a notification sent if a ``Precedence: bulk'' ``Precedence: list'' or ``Precedence: junk'' line is included in the mail headers. The people who have sent you messages are maintained as a db(3) database in the file .vacation.db in your home directory. vacation expects a file .vacation.msg, in your home directory, containing a message to be sent back to each sender. It should be an entire message (including headers). If the message contains the string $SUBJECT then it will will be replaced with the subject of the original mes- sage. For example, it might contain: From: eric@CS.Berkeley.EDU (Eric Allman) Subject: I am on vacation Delivered-By-The-Graces-Of: The Vacation program Precedence: bulk I am on vacation until July 22. Your mail regarding "$SUBJECT" will be read when I return. If you have something urgent, please contact Keith Bostic <bostic@CS.Berkeley.EDU>. --eric vacation reads the first line from the standard input for a UNIX ``From'' line to determine the sender. sendmail(8) includes this ``From'' line automatically. Fatal errors, such as calling vacation with incorrect arguments, or with non-existent logins, are logged in the system log file, using syslog(3). FILES

The vacation command appeared in 4.3BSD. BUGS
Adding -t A or -t D should only be done for misconfigured or non-compliant MTAs. Doing so may auto-respond to messages that were not sup- posed to be replied to. BSD
