The `:rmdir` command removes the current directory (`-f` is required if
the directory is not empty).
This is not supported on the notmuch backend.
An issue with the maildir backend is that some sync programs (e.g.
offlineimap) may recover the directory after it is deleted. They need
to specifically be configured to accept deletions, or special commands
need to be executed (e.g. `offlineimap --delete-folder`) to properly
delete folders.
A danger of using this on the IMAP backend is that it is possible for a
new message to be added to the directory and for aerc to not show it
immediately (due to a slow connection) - using `:rmdir` at this moment
(with `-f` if the directory already contains messages) would delete the
directory and the new message that just arrived (and all other
contents). This is documented in aerc(1) so that users are aware of
possible risks.
More mail flags can now be set, unset, and toggled, not just the
read/seen flag.
This functionality is implemented with a new `:flag` and `:unflag`
command, which are extensions to the matching `:read` and `:unread`
commands, adding support for different flags. In fact, the
`read`/`unread` commands are now recognized aliases to `flag`/`unflag`.
The new commands are also well documented in aerc(1).
The change mostly extends the previous read/unread setting functionality
by adding a selection for the flag to change.
This command uses the Postpone folder from the account config to save
messages to. Messages are saved as though they were sent so have a valid
'to' recipient address and should be able to be read back in for later
editing.
The functionality was broken since the decoding changes.
This commit also simplifies the code (in my view) to make the application logic
easier to follow.
The docs are updated accordingly (the feature was poorly documented).
As far as I am aware there should be no breaking changes (and is certainly
still in the spec of the prior documentation)
Usage:
:prompt <prompt> <command...>
Displays the prompt on the status bar, waits for user input, then
appends that input as the last argument to the command and executes it.
The input is passed as one argument to the command, unless it is empty,
in which case no extra argument is added.
This allows selection of a tab using its index. It attempts to parse the
given argument as a number, if it fails then it uses it as a name.
Also supports relative indexes using prefixed + or -.
Add a command for removing attachments from a composed message. Syntax
is :detach [path], with path being an optional argument specifying the
path of one existing attachment. If no path is specified, the first
attachment is removed.
Aerc will keep track of the previous 1000 commands, which the user can
cycle through using the arrow keys while in the ex-line. Pressing up
will move backwards in history while pressing down will move forward.
Allow users to add attachments to emails in the Compose view. Syntax is
:attach <path>, where path is a valid file. Attachments will show up in
the pre-send review screen.
The unsubscribe command, available when in a message viewer context,
enables users to easily unsubscribe from mailing lists.
When the command is executed, aerc looks for a List-Unsubscribe header
as defined in RFC 2369. If found, aerc will attempt to present the user
with a suitable interface for completing the request. Currently, mailto
and http(s) URLs are supported. In the case of a HTTP(S) URL, aerc will
open the link in a browser. For mailto links, a new composer tab will be
opened with a message filled out according to the URL. The message is
not sent automatically in order to provide the user a chance to review
it first.
Closes#101
Redirecting stdout writes log output to that file, but this wasn't
easily discoverable.
v2 removes changes to aerc-tutorial; I was also on the fence about that,
and agree that it isn't on-topic for the tutorial.
Addresses https://todo.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/aerc2/180
This adds new functionality to :save in the message view for specifying
directories in the path. A new flag, -p, is also added to :save for
automatically creating any directories in the path that do not exist.
If the path ends in a / (e.g. "Downloads/mail/") or if the path is an
existing directory, the part's file name is the filename from the mail
header for the part. Otherwise, it uses the last element in the path as
the filename (e.g. 'blah.jpg' is the filename if the path is
'Downloads/mail/blah.jpg')
Adds an archive command that moves the current message into the folder
specified in the account config entry.
Supports three layouts at this point:
- flat: puts all messages next to each other
- year: creates a folder per year
- month: same as above, plus folders per month
This also adds a "-p" argument to "cp" and "mv" that works like
"--parents" on mkdir(1). We use this to auto-create the directories
for the archive layout.
