notmuch-show
============

SYNOPSIS
========

**notmuch** **show** [options ...] **<search-term> ...**

DESCRIPTION
===========

Shows all messages matching the search terms.

See *notmuch-search-terms(7)* for details of the supported syntax for
<search-terms>.

The messages will be grouped and sorted based on the threading (all
replies to a particular message will appear immediately after that
message 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=(true|false)``
        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.

    ``--format=(text|json|sexp|mbox|raw)``

        *text* (default for messages)
            The default plain-text format has all text-content MIME
            parts decoded. Various components in the output, (*message*,
            *header*, *body*, *attachment*, and MIME *part*), will be
            delimited by easily-parsed markers. Each marker consists of
            a Control-L character (ASCII decimal 12), the name of the
            marker, and then either an opening or closing brace, ('{' or
            '}'), to either open or close the component. For a multipart
            MIME message, these parts will be nested.

        *json*
            The output is formatted with Javascript Object Notation
            (JSON). This format is more robust than the text format for
            automated processing. The nested structure of multipart MIME
            messages is reflected in nested JSON output. By default JSON
            output includes all messages in a matching thread; that is,
            by default,

            ``--format=json`` sets ``--entire-thread`` The caller can
            disable this behaviour by setting ``--entire-thread=false``

        *sexp*
            The output is formatted as an S-Expression (sexp). This
            format is more robust than the text format for automated
            processing. The nested structure of multipart MIME messages
            is reflected in nested S-Expression output. By default,
            S-Expression output includes all messages in a matching
            thread; that is, by default,

            ``--format=sexp`` sets ``--entire-thread`` The caller can
            disable this behaviour by setting ``--entire-thread=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 additional
            '>' character added. This reversible escaping is termed
            "mboxrd" format and described in detail here:

	    http://homepage.ntlworld.com/jonathan.deboynepollard/FGA/mail-mbox-formats.html

        *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 structure,
        and are identified in the 'json', 'sexp' or 'text' output
        formats.

    ``--verify``
        Compute and report the validity of any MIME cryptographic
        signatures found in the selected content (ie. "multipart/signed"
        parts). Status of the signature will be reported (currently only
        supported with --format=json and --format=sexp), and the
        multipart/signed part will be replaced by the signed data.

    ``--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
        --format=sexp) and on successful decryption the
        multipart/encrypted part will be replaced by the decrypted
        content.

        Decryption expects a functioning *gpg-agent(1)* to provide any
        needed credentials. Without one, the decryption will fail.

        Implies --verify.

    ``--exclude=(true|false)``
        Specify whether to omit threads only matching
        search.tag\_exclude 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
        returned regardless (with the excluded flag being set when
        appropriate) 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.

    ``--include-html``
        Include "text/html" parts as part of the output (currently only
        supported with --format=json and --format=sexp). By default,
        unless ``--part=N`` is used to select a specific part or
        ``--include-html`` is used to include all "text/html" parts, no
        part with content type "text/html" is included in the output.

A common use of *notmuch show* is to display a single thread of email
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.

EXIT STATUS
===========

This command supports the following special exit status codes

``20``
    The requested format version is too old.

``21``
    The requested format version is too new.
