NAME
mflow — reflow format=flowed plain text messages
SYNOPSIS
mflow [−f] [−q] [−w width] < file
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.
