.Sh DESCRIPTION
By default,
.Nm
renders the passed messages to standard output.
See
.Xr mmsg 7
for the message argument syntax.
If used interactively and no messages are given,
displays the current message using colorization and a pager.
.Pp
The options are as follows:
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Fl h Ar headers
Display the headers in the colon-separated list
.Ar headers
instead of the default headers
.Sq Li from:subject:to:cc:date:reply-to: .
.It Fl A Ar mimetypes
Define
.Sq Li "mixed/alternative"
preference.
.Ar mimetypes
is a colon-separated list of
MIME types, the ones appearing first will
be preferred when rendering
.Sq Li "mixed/alternative"
parts.
If no MIME type matches, the first MIME part will be rendered.
.Pp
Defaults to
.Sq Li "text/plain:text/html" .
.It Fl n
Don't update the current message link.
.It Fl q
Don't render the body, stop after header output.
.It Fl r
Don't render the body, print raw body.
This may be dangerous to use on a tty.
.It Fl H
Don't decode the headers, print all raw headers.
This may be dangerous to use on a tty.
.It Fl L
Don't filter the headers, print all decoded headers.
.It Fl N
Don't show MIME structure markers.
.It Fl x Ar msg
Switch to extraction mode: extract
.Ar parts
from the message
.Ar msg
into files.
.Ar parts
can be specified by number, filename or
.Xr fnmatch 3
pattern.
.It Fl O Ar msg
Like
.Fl x
but write to standard output.
This may be dangerous to use on a tty.
When used together with
.Fl r ,
the whole part is raw,
that is,
un-decoded and including MIME part headers.
.It Fl t
Switch to list mode: list all MIME parts
of each
.Ar msg .
.It Fl R Ar msg
Render the text parts from
.Ar msg ,
suitable for use in a reply.
.El
.Sh FILTERS
.Nm
by default decodes all
.Sq Li text/* ,
.Sq Li message/rfc822 ,
.Sq Li multipart/*
parts,
and re-encodes them into UTF-8 if necessary.
.Pp
Other filters can be specified in the file
.Pa ${MBLAZE:-$HOME/.mblaze}/filter
in the format
.D1 Ar type/subtype Ns Li \&: Ar command
or
.D1 Ar type Ns Li \&: Ar command
.Nm
will then spawn a pipe to
.Ar command ,
write the MIME part
and display the output.
The environment variable
.Ev PIPE_CHARSET
will be set to the charset declared in the MIME part,
if known.
.Sh ENVIRONMENT
.Bl -tag -width MBLAZE_NOCOLOR
.It Ev MBLAZE_PAGER
Any non-empty value of the environment variable
.Ev MBLAZE_PAGER
is used instead of the standard pagination program, specified in
.Ev PAGER .
When empty or set to
.Sq Ic cat ,
no pager is spawned.
.It Ev MBLAZE_NOCOLOR
If non-empty,
.Nm
will not spawn a colorization filter.
