mailer
Fast and lean vi-style terminal email reader
Getting Started
Installing/updating:
$ go get -v -u github.com/r00tman/mailer
Now you have mailer
in $GOPATH/bin
(which is usually ~/go/bin
).
If you haven't already, you can add $GOPATH/bin
to your $PATH
by appending this to .bashrc
/.zshrc
/etc.:
export PATH="${GOPATH:-$HOME/go}/bin:$PATH"
You may want to install w3m
, since it is required to read html emails.
Now you can just run the app:
$ mailer
BTW, feel free to alias/symlink mailer
to ml
(or whatever you like), since it is much quicker to type.
Usage
Most keybindings are vi/w3m style.
This means that:
jk
/Down Up
are for down, up (numbers work too, i.e., 10j
scrolls 10 lines down),
hl
/Esc Enter
/Left Right
are for closing, opening emails and mailboxes,
r
is for toggling the read status of the selected message (works in the message viewer too),

/Ctr-U Ctr-D

Tip: You can scroll to the text/html part by typing /html<Enter><Ctrl-L>
