+.TH NOTMUCH-REPLY 1 2011-12-04 "Notmuch 0.10.2"
+.SH NAME
+notmuch-reply \- Constructs a reply template for a set of messages.
+
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+
+.B notmuch reply
+.RI "[" options "...] <" search-term ">..."
+
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+
+Constructs a reply template for a set of messages.
+
+To make replying to email easier,
+.B 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. Vales 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\-config 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
+.B reply
+include
+.RS
+.TP 4
+.BR \-\-format= ( default | headers\-only )
+.RS
+.TP 4
+.BR default

+See the
+.B "SEARCH SYNTAX"
+section below for details of the supported syntax for <search-terms>.
+
+Note: It is most common to use
+.B "notmuch reply"
+with a search string matching a single message, (such as
+id:<message-id>), but it can be useful 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 issue found in multiple patches.
