From c48797b498ba8dc46fb323a8a7f2cde4d41d3123 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Bremner Date: Sun, 18 Dec 2011 22:38:24 -0400 Subject: initial splitting of notmuch.1 We mostly just cut and paste the command descriptions into individual files, with a short header added to each one. The splitting into subdirectories is to support the use of ./man as an element in MANPATH, e.g. for testing. --- man/man1/notmuch-reply.1 | 60 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 60 insertions(+) create mode 100644 man/man1/notmuch-reply.1 (limited to 'man/man1/notmuch-reply.1') diff --git a/man/man1/notmuch-reply.1 b/man/man1/notmuch-reply.1 new file mode 100644 index 00000000..eb23925b --- /dev/null +++ b/man/man1/notmuch-reply.1 @@ -0,0 +1,60 @@ +.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.
