Add support for signatures
Add config values to `composing` config section to enable signatures:

   signature_file Path                   (optional) Plain text file with signature that will pre-populate an email draft.  Signatures must be explicitly enabled to be used, otherwise this setting will be ignored.  (None)

   use_signature bool                    Pre-populate email drafts with signature, if any.  meli will lookup the signature value in this order:
                                         1.   The signature_file setting.
                                         2.   ${XDG_CONFIG_DIR}/meli/<account>/signature
                                         3.   ${XDG_CONFIG_DIR}/meli/signature
                                         4.   ${XDG_CONFIG_DIR}/signature
                                         5.   ${HOME}/.signature
                                         6.   No signature otherwise.
                                         (false)

   signature_delimiter String            (optional) Signature delimiter, that is, text that will be prefixed to your signature to separate it from the email body.  (‘\n\n-- \n’)

Install

Build

Run cargo build --release --bin meli or make.

For detailed building instructions, see BUILD.md

Quick start

# Create configuration file in ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/meli/config.toml:
$ meli create-config
# Edit configuration in ${EDITOR} or ${VISUAL}:
$ meli edit-config
# Optionally, install manual pages if installed via cargo:
$ meli install-man
# Ready to go.
$ meli

See a comprehensive tour of meli in the manual page meli(7).

See also the Quickstart tutorial online.

After installing meli, see meli(1), meli.conf(5), meli(7) and meli-themes(5) for documentation. Sample configuration and theme files can be found in the meli/docs/samples/ subdirectory. Manual pages are also hosted online. meli by default looks for a configuration file in this location: ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/meli/config.toml.

You can run meli with arbitrary configuration files by setting the ${MELI_CONFIG} environment variable to their locations, i.e.:

MELI_CONFIG=./test_config cargo run

See meli(7) for an extensive tutorial and meli.conf(5) for all configuration values.

Documentation

See a comprehensive tour of meli in the manual page meli(7).

After installing meli, see meli(1), meli.conf(5), meli(7) and meli-themes(5) for documentation. Sample configuration and theme files can be found in the meli/docs/samples/ subdirectory. Manual pages are also hosted online.

meli by default looks for a configuration file in this location: ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/meli/config.toml

You can run meli with arbitrary configuration files by setting the ${MELI_CONFIG} environment variable to their locations, or use the [-c, --config] argument:

MELI_CONFIG=./test_config meli

or

meli -c ./test_config

  1. there's no support for searching through all email directly, you'd have to create a mailbox with a notmuch query that returns everything and search inside that mailbox. ↩︎
