NOTMUCH-SHOW(1)
NAME
-
- notmuch-show - Show messages matching the given search terms.
+ notmuch-show - show messages matching the given search terms
SYNOPSIS
-
- notmuch show [options...] <search-term>...
+ notmuch show [options...] <search-term>...
DESCRIPTION
-
Shows all messages matching the search terms.

-
The messages will be grouped and sorted based on the threading (all
replies to a particular message will appear immediately after that mes-
sage in date order). The output is not indented by default, but depth
tags are printed so that proper indentation can be performed by a post-
processor (such as the emacs interface to notmuch).

Supported options for show include

- --entire-thread
-
+ --entire-thread=(true|false)
-
- By default only those messages that match the search terms will
- be displayed. With this option, all messages in the same thread
- as any matched message will be displayed.
-
+ If true, notmuch show outputs all messages in the thread of any
+ message matching the search terms; if false, it outputs only
+ the matching messages. For --format=json and --format=sexp this
+ defaults to true. For other formats, this defaults to false.

mbox
-
-
All matching messages are output in the traditional, Unix
mbox format with each message being prefixed by a line
- beginning with "From " and a blank line separating each
- message. Lines in the message content beginning with "From
- " (preceded by zero or more '>' characters) have an addi-
- tional '>' character added. This reversible escaping is
- termed "mboxrd" format and described in detail here:

raw (default for a single part, see --part)
-
-
For a message or an attached message part, the original,
raw content of the email message is output. Consumers of
this format should expect to implement MIME decoding and
similar functions.
-
-
For a single part (--part) the raw part content is output
after performing any necessary MIME decoding. Note that
messages with a simple body still have two parts: part 0 is
the whole message and part 1 is the body.
-
-
For a multipart part, the part headers and body (including
all child parts) is output.
-
-
The raw format must only be used with search terms matching
single message.
-
-
+ --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.
+
--part=N
-
-
Output the single decoded MIME part N of a single message. The
search terms must match only a single message. Message parts
are numbered in a depth-first walk of the message MIME struc-
- ture, and are identified in the 'json' or 'text' output for-
- mats.

-
-
Compute and report the validity of any MIME cryptographic sig-
- natures found in the selected content (ie. "multipart/signed"
+ natures found in the selected content (ie. "multipart/signed"
parts). Status of the signature will be reported (currently on-

--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 the multipart/encrypted part will be replaced by the de-
- crypted content. Implies --verify.

+ will be reported (currently only supported with --format=json
+ and --format=sexp) and the multipart/encrypted part will be re-
+ placed by the decrypted content. Implies --verify.
-
--exclude=(true|false)
-
-
Specify whether to omit threads only matching search.tag_ex-
clude from the search results (the default) or not. In either
case the excluded message will be marked with the exclude flag
(except when output=mbox when there is nowhere to put the
flag).
-
-
If --entire-thread is specified then complete threads are re-
turned regardless (with the excluded flag being set when appro-
priate) but threads that only match in an excluded message are
not returned when --exclude=true.
-
-
The default is --exclude=true.
-
-
+ --body=(true|false)
+
+ If true (the default) notmuch show includes the bodies of the
+ messages in the output; if false, bodies are omitted.
+ --body=false is only implemented for the json and sexp formats
+ and it is incompatible with --part >> 0.
+
+ This is useful if the caller only needs the headers as body-
+ less output is much faster and substantially smaller.
+
A common use of notmuch show is to display a single thread of email
- messages. For this, use a search term of "thread:" as can be
+ messages. For this, use a search term of "thread:<thread-id>" as can be
seen in the first column of output from the notmuch search command.
