Trying to use `aerc` as an e-mail client and it pisses me off.

Each time I try to write in the CC field the input goes to the `:` prompt.

Edit: it expects me to type `:cc <e-mail>` to add to the CC…

UX--

#aerc

Task: save all messages in the (IMAP) mail folder, if using aerc client.

Solution: use aerc commands and `formail` formatter from procmail package

Snippet:
# select all messages
1. :mark -a
# pipe each one to formail, which in turn will call cat
2. :pipe -m sh -c 'formail -s sh -c "cat > ~/path/\$(uuid).eml"'

#aerc #mail #snippets

I just discovered that I can open a shell session on #aerc

@klimperfix I use #aerc and it is great. There is a new one out also, called matcha.

I‘m late to the party, but I have to say it: #aerc is such a delightful e-mail client for the terminal.

@kushal I spotted Chithi the other day and got curious. Actually had look around for a MUA a while ago, and felt open something graphical. Could not really find anything which I did not consider monstrous (with various connotations, according to my taste). Ended up remaining in the terminal, but this time trying #aerc for IMAP (and letting mails remain on the server) -- Got a fresh feeling from Chithi, even though it's a webapp :-)
User base of #linux #terminal #graphical #webbrowser #brow6el asked if it would be possible to use it for preview of #html messages and attachments in #aerc mail client. Proof of concept of html pager for aerc is on its way.

Trying out aerc as email client, and just noticed one thing that mutt is doing really well: showing key bindings in the top bar, which makes learning so much easier, and impossible to forget.

Not building a lot of interactive CLI tools myself, but this is really worth keeping in mind.
