Mutt also supports a “<span class="quote">batch</span>” mode to send prepared messages. Simply redirect

input from the file you wish to send. For example,

</p><p>

<code class="literal">mutt -s "data set for run #2" professor@bigschool.edu

< ˜/run2.dat</code>

</p><p>

This command will send a message to ``professor@bigschool.edu'' with a subject

of ``data set for run #2''. In the body of the message will be the contents

of the file ``˜/run2.dat''.

This command will send a message to “<span class="quote">professor@bigschool.edu</span>” with a subject

of “<span class="quote">data set for run #2</span>”. In the body of the message will be the contents

of the file “<span class="quote">˜/run2.dat</span>”.

</p><p>

All files passed with -a <span class="emphasis"><em>file</em></span> will be attached as a MIME

part to the message. To attach several files, use ``--'' to separate files and

part to the message. To attach several files, use “<span class="quote">--</span>” to separate files and

soft-fill gives priority to the right-hand side, guaranteeing space

When mutt is compiled with either gdbm or bdb4 as the header cache backend,

1253

this option changes the database page size. Too large or too small

</p><p>

2250

2638

particularly meaningful. To optionally print a string based upon one

2251

2639

of the above sequences, the following construct is used:

2252

2640

</p><p>

2253

%?<sequence_char>?<optional_string>?

2641

2254

2642

</p><p>

2255

2643

where <span class="emphasis"><em>sequence_char</em></span> is a character from the table above, and

2256

2644

<span class="emphasis"><em>optional_string</em></span> is the string you would like printed if

2260

2648

</p><p>

2261

2649

Here is an example illustrating how to optionally print the number of

2262

2650

new messages in a mailbox:

2263

%?n?%n new messages.?

2651

</p><p>

2652

<code class="literal">%?n?%n new messages.?</code>

2264

2653

</p><p>

2265

2654

You can also switch between two strings using the following construct:

2266

2655

</p><p>

2267

%?<sequence_char>?<if_string>&<else_string>?

2656

2268

2657

</p><p>

2269

2658

If the value of <span class="emphasis"><em>sequence_char</em></span> is non-zero, <span class="emphasis"><em>if_string</em></span> will

2270

2659

be expanded, otherwise <span class="emphasis"><em>else_string</em></span> will be expanded.

2271

2660

</p><p>

2272

You can force the result of any printf-like sequence to be lowercase

2273

by prefixing the sequence character with an underscore (_) sign.

2661

You can force the result of any <code class="literal">printf(3)</code>-like sequence to be lowercase

2662

by prefixing the sequence character with an underscore (“<span class="quote">_</span>”) sign.

2274

2663

For example, if you want to display the local hostname in lowercase,

2275

you would use:

2276

%_h

2664

you would use: “<span class="quote"><code class="literal">%_h</code></span>”.

2277

2665

</p><p>

2278

If you prefix the sequence character with a colon (:) character, mutt

2279

will replace any dots in the expansion by underscores. This might be helpful

2666

If you prefix the sequence character with a colon (“<span class="quote">:</span>”) character, mutt

2667

will replace any dots in the expansion by underscores. This might be helpful

2280

2668

with IMAP folders that don't like dots in folder names.
