NAME
nmzmail - a tool to use the namazu2 search engine from within mutt SYNOPSIS
nmzmail [ -b <base> ] [ -r <result> ] -i <maildir1> <maildir2> ... -or- nmzmail [ -b <base> ] [ -r <result> ] [ -n <limit> ] DESCRIPTION
nmzmail is a program that uses the namazu2 search engine (http://www.namazu.org) from within the mail client mutt to search and index mail stored in maildir folders. Based on the result of the namazu query, nmzmail generates a maildir folder containing symbolic links to the mail matching the query. A simple mutt macro makes it very easy to use nmzmail from within mutt, and a simple crontab entry always keeps your mail indexed by namazu. Add the following macro to your muttrc file: macro generic S "<shell-escape>nmzmail<return><esc>c~/.nmzmail/result<return>" "Search via nmzmail" Run mutt and hit "S" and enter your query when prompted. You can manually update your index periodically or via a cronjob with: nmzmail -i <maildir1> <maildir2> ... OPTIONS
-i This tells nmzmail to index your email. -b FILE Base. Where nmzmail builds its index. By default it is in $HOME/.nmzmail. -r FILE Result. Similar to -b, this lets you specify where the results are to be built. By default it is within $HOME/.nmzmail. -n NUM Limit. When making a query, nmzmail can be used directly from the command line instead of from within mutt. When the -n option is invoked, the number of results returned from your query will be limited to whatever integer you specify for NUM. SEE ALSO
