3.3 frm -- List Headers from a Mailbox

The frm command outputs a header information of the selected messages in a mailbox. By default, frm reads the user's system mailbox and outputs the contents of From and Subject headers for each message. If a folder is specified in the command line, the program reads that folder rather than the default mailbox.

The program uses following option groups: See section 3.1.2 Mailbox.

The following command line options alter the behavior of the program:

`-f string'
`--field string'
Display the header named by string instead of From Subject pair.
`-l'
`--to'
Include the contents of To header to the output. The output field order is then: To From Subject.
`-n'
`--number'
Prefix each line with corresponding message number.
`-Q'
`--Quiet'
Be very quiet. Nothing is output except error messages. This is useful in shell scripts where only the return status of the program is important.
`-q'
`--query'
Print a message only if there are unread messages in the mailbox.
`-S'
`--summary'
Print a summary line.
`-s attr'
`--status attr'
Only display headers from messages with the given status. Attr may be one of the following: `new', `read', `unread'. It is sufficient to specify only first letter of an attr. Multiple `-s' options are allowed.
`-t'
`--align'
Tidy mode. Currently is not implemented. Included for compatibility with frm program from Elm package.
