mscan — generate one-line message summaries

       Leah Neukirchen <leah@vuxu.org>

mscan prints a one line summary for each message.  (See mmsg(7) for the message argument syntax.)

       If  no  msgs  are  specified,  mscan  reads  filenames from the standard input, or scans the mails in the
       current sequence if used interactively.

       By default, mscan will spawn a pager on its  output  when  used  interactively.   See  “ENVIRONMENT”  for
       details on how to control this behaviour.

       The default format is

             %c%u%r%-3n%10d%17f%t%2i%s

       that  is,  for  each message, mscan prints relevant flags, the sequence number (if applicable), the date,
       the originator, and the subject of the message (possibly  indented).   A  default  mscan  format  may  be
       specified in the user's mblaze-profile(5).

       The options are as follows:

       -I      Force ISO date output, even for ‘%d’.

       -n      Only print message numbers (or filenames, if the message is not in the current sequence).

       -v      Print how many messages were scanned to standard error.

       -fformat
               Format according to the string format, inspired by printf(3).

               The following formatting codes may be used (wd overrides the default width):

               \n      Newline.

               \t      Tab.

               %%      A plain ‘%’.

               %[wd]b  Human-readable size of the message (in kilobytes).

               %c      A ‘>’ on the current message, otherwise a blank.

               %[wd]d  Adaptive  date of the message.  When wd is greater or equal to 19, the timestamp is shown
                       in dottime format (https://dotti.me/).

               %[wd]D  ISO date of the message (year, month, day).  When wd is greater or equal to 16, the hour-
                       minute timestamp will also be shown.  When wd is greater or equal  to  19,  seconds  will
                       also be shown.

               %[wd]f  The ‘From:’ (or ‘To:’, if the message is from us).

               %[wd]F  The maildir folder the message resides in.

               %[wd]iwd (default: 1) spaces per indentation depth in the thread tree.

               %[wd]I  The ‘Message-ID:’ of the message.

               %M      The raw maildir flags of the message.

               %[wd]n  The number of the message in the current sequence.

               %r      A ‘-’ on a replied-to message, or a ‘:’ on a forwarded message, or a blank.

               %[wd]R  The filename of the message.

               %[wd]s  The subject of the message (defaults to remaining width).

               %[wd]S  The subject of the message (defaults to remaining width), with leading ‘Re:’, ‘Fwd:’ etc.
                       stripped.

               %t      A  ‘>’  if you are in ‘To:’, a ‘+’ if you are in ‘Cc:’, a ‘:’ if you are in ‘Resent-To:’,
                       or a blank.

               %u      An ‘*’ on a flagged message, a ‘.’ on an unseen message, an ‘x’ on a trashed message,  or
                       a blank.

       MBLAZE_PAGER  Any  non-empty  value  of  the  environment  variable  MBLAZE_PAGER  is used instead of the
                     standard pagination program, specified in PAGER.  When empty, or set to ‘cat’, no pager  is
                     spawned.

       The mscan utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
