Constructs a reply template for a set of messages.
To make replying to email easier, **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. Unless
+set of messages and constructs a suitable mail template. Its To:
+address is set according to the original email in this way: if the
+Reply-to: header is present and different from any To:/Cc: address it
+is used, otherwise From: header is used. Unless
``--reply-to=sender`` is specified, values 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
Supported options for **reply** include
- ``--format=``\ (**default**\ \|\ **json**\ \|\ **sexp**\ \|\ **headers-only**)
+``--format=``\ (**default**\ \|\ **json**\ \|\ **sexp**\ \|\ **headers-only**)
+ **default**
+ Includes subject and quoted message body as an RFC 2822
+ message.
- **default**
- Includes subject and quoted message body as an RFC 2822
- message.
+ **json**
+ Produces JSON output containing headers for a reply message
+ and the contents of the original message. This output can be
+ used by a client to create a reply message intelligently.
- **json**
- Produces JSON output containing headers for a reply message
- and the contents of the original message. This output can be
- used by a client to create a reply message intelligently.
+ **sexp**
+ Produces S-Expression output containing headers for a reply
+ message and the contents of the original message. This output
+ can be used by a client to create a reply message
+ intelligently.
- **sexp**
- Produces S-Expression output containing headers for a reply
- message and the contents of the original message. This
- output can be used by a client to create a reply message
- intelligently.
+ **headers-only**
+ Only produces In-Reply-To, References, To, Cc, and Bcc
+ headers.
- **headers-only**
- Only produces In-Reply-To, References, To, Cc, and Bcc
- headers.
+``--format-version=N``
+ Use the specified structured output format version. This is
+ intended for programs that invoke **notmuch(1)** internally. If
+ omitted, the latest supported version will be used.
- ``--format-version=N``
- Use the specified structured output format version. This is
- intended for programs that invoke **notmuch(1)** internally. If
- omitted, the latest supported version will be used.
+``--reply-to=``\ (**all**\ \|\ **sender**)
+ **all** (default)
+ Replies to all addresses.
- ``--reply-to=``\ (**all**\ \|\ **sender**)
+ **sender**
+ Replies only to the sender. If replying to user's own message
+ (Reply-to: or From: header is one of the user's configured
+ email addresses), try To:, Cc:, and Bcc: headers in this
+ order, and copy values from the first that contains something
+ other than only the user's addresses.
- **all** (default)
- Replies to all addresses.
+``--decrypt=(false|auto|true)``
- **sender**
- Replies only to the sender. If replying to user's own
- message (Reply-to: or From: header is one of the user's
- configured email addresses), try To:, Cc:, and Bcc: headers
- in this order, and copy values from the first that contains
- something other than only the user's addresses.
+ If ``true``, decrypt any MIME encrypted parts found in the
+ selected content (i.e., "multipart/encrypted" parts). Status
+ of the decryption will be reported (currently only supported
+ with --format=json and --format=sexp), and on successful
+ decryption the multipart/encrypted part will be replaced by
+ the decrypted content.
- ``--decrypt``
- Decrypt any MIME encrypted parts found in the selected content
- (ie. "multipart/encrypted" parts). Status of the decryption will
- be reported (currently only supported with --format=json and
- --format=sexp) and on successful decryption the
- multipart/encrypted part will be replaced by the decrypted
- content.
+ If ``auto``, and a session key is already known for the
+ message, then it will be decrypted, but notmuch will not try
+ to access the user's secret keys.
- Decryption expects a functioning **gpg-agent(1)** to provide any
- needed credentials. Without one, the decryption will fail.
+ Use ``false`` to avoid even automatic decryption.
+
+ Non-automatic decryption expects a functioning
+ **gpg-agent(1)** to provide any needed credentials. Without
+ one, the decryption will likely fail.
+
+ Default: ``auto``
