notmuch-emacs-mua - send mail with notmuch and emacs
notmuch emacs-mua [options ...] [<to-address>
... | <mailto-url>]
Start composing an email in the Notmuch Emacs UI with the
specified subject, recipients, and message body, or mailto: URL.
Supported options for emacs-mua include
- --hello
- Go to the Notmuch hello screen instead of the message composition window
if no message composition parameters are given.
- --client
- Use emacsclient(1), rather than emacs(1). For
emacsclient(1) to work, you need an already running Emacs with a
server, or use --auto-daemon.
- --auto-daemon
- Automatically start Emacs in daemon mode, if the Emacs server is not
running. Applicable with --client. Implies
--create-frame.
- --create-frame
- Create a new frame instead of trying to use the current Emacs frame.
Applicable with --client. This will be required when Emacs is
running (or automatically started with --auto-daemon) in daemon
mode.
- --print
- Output the resulting elisp to stdout instead of evaluating it.
The supported positional parameters and short options are a
compatible subset of the mutt(1) MUA command-line options. The
options and positional parameters modifying the message can't be combined
with the mailto: URL.
Options may be specified multiple times.
- EMACS
- Name of emacs command to invoke. Defaults to "emacs".
- EMACSCLIENT
- Name of emacsclient command to invoke. Defaults to
"emacsclient".
