Subject: lei q: --stdin confuses --mua
Date: Sat, 17 Apr 2021 11:53:16 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87v98klxg3.fsf@kyleam.com> (raw)

I used `lei p2p' to track down an associated thread recently.  It worked
nicely, though I noticed that I wasn't able to jump straight into mutt
via --mua.

Here's an example using public-inbox.git.  Feeding the p2q output on
stdin, I'm told that no recipients were specified, and the command exits
rather than dropping me into mutt's interface.

  $ lei p2q 8ab43c1c27c725a8ef9307f5dba3e565169d48ca | \
    lei q -q -tt - -o mboxcl2:/tmp/t.mbox --mua=mutt
  No recipients were specified.

I'm not a mutt user, but I think that's because mutt sees that stdin
isn't attached to a tty.  I haven't tried anything on my end yet, but
perhaps there's a clean way to make --stdin and --mua [*] work together.
Thoughts?


  [*] The only other --mua value I checked was 'mail' (and that shows a
      similar issue), but I'm guessing other MUAs don't not work well
      with --stdin either.
