NAME

mflow — reflow format=flowed plain text messages

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

mflow reformats the standard input according to the rules of RFC 3676. PIPE_CONTENTTYPE is inspected, making this a suitable filter for ‘text/plain’ messages for mshow(1). Messages not specified as ‘format=flowed’ are output unchanged.

Text is reflowed (where allowed) to fit the width given in the environment variable COLUMNS, the terminal width, or 80 characters by default.

If defined, the environment variable MAXCOLUMNS specifies the maximum line length.

The options are as follows:

-f

Force wrapping of long lines.

-q

Prefix lines with ‘>’. Can be used multiple times.

-w width

Set maximum line length to width.

EXIT STATUS

The mflow utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
