MHLIST(1) [nmh-1.2] MHLIST(1)
NAME
mhlist - list information about MIME messages
SYNOPSIS
mhlist [+folder] [msgs] [-file file] [-part number] ... [-type content] ... [-headers |
-noheaders] [-realsize | -norealsize] [-rcache policy] [-wcache policy] [-check |
-nocheck] [-version] [-help]
DESCRIPTION
The mhlist command allows you to list information (essentially a table of contents) about
the various parts of a collection of MIME (multi-media) messages.
mhlist manipulates MIME (multi-media messages) as specified in RFC-2045 thru RFC-2049 (See
mhbuild(1)).
The -headers switch indicates that a one-line banner should be displayed above the list-
ing.
The -realsize switch tells mhlist to evaluate the "native" (decoded) format of each con-
tent prior to listing. This provides an accurate count at the expense of a small delay.
If the -verbose switch is present, then the listing will show any "extra" information that
is present in the message, such as comments in the "Content-Type" header.
The option -file file directs mhlist to use the specified file as the source message,
rather than a message from a folder. If you specify this file as "-", then mhlist will
accept the source message on the standard input. Note that the file, or input from stan-
dard input should be a validly formatted message, just like any other nmh message. It
should NOT be in mail drop format (to convert a file in mail drop format to a folder of
nmh messages, see inc(1)).
By default, mhlist will list information about the entire message (all of its parts). By
using the -part and -type switches, you may limit the scope of this command to particular
subparts (of a multipart content) and/or particular content types.
A part specification consists of a series of numbers separated by dots. For example, in a
multipart content containing three parts, these would be named as 1, 2, and 3, respec-
tively. If part 2 was also a multipart content containing two parts, these would be named
as 2.1 and 2.2, respectively. Note that the -part switch is effective for only messages
containing a multipart content. If a message has some other kind of content, or if the
part is itself another multipart content, the -part switch will not prevent the content
from being acted upon.
A content specification consists of a content type and a subtype. The initial list of
"standard" content types and subtypes can be found in RFC-2046.
A list of commonly used contents is briefly reproduced here:
Type Subtypes
---- --------
text plain, enriched
multipart mixed, alternative, digest, parallel
message rfc822, partial, external-body
application octet-stream, postscript
image jpeg, gif, png
audio basic
video mpeg
A legal MIME message must contain a subtype specification.
To specify a content, regardless of its subtype, just use the name of the content, e.g.,
"audio". To specify a specific subtype, separate the two with a slash, e.g.,
"audio/basic". Note that regardless of the values given to the -type switch, a multipart
content (of any subtype listed above) is always acted upon. Further note that if the
-type switch is used, and it is desirable to act on a message/external-body content, then
the -type switch must be used twice: once for message/external-body and once for the con-
tent externally referenced.
Checking the Contents
The -check switch tells mhlist to check each content for an integrity checksum. If a con-
tent has such a checksum (specified as a Content-MD5 header field), then mhlist will
attempt to verify the integrity of the content.
FILES
$HOME/.mh_profile The user profile
PROFILE COMPONENTS
Path: To determine the user's nmh directory
Current-Folder: To find the default current folder
