The Reply-to header (if any, otherwise From:) is used for +the To: address. Vales from the To: and Cc: headers are copied, but +not including any of the current user's email addresses (as configured +in primary_mail or other_email in the .notmuch\-config file) in the +recipient list + +It also builds a suitable new subject, including Re: at the front (if +not already present), and adding the message IDs of the messages being +replied to to the References list and setting the In\-Reply\-To: field +correctly. + +Finally, the original contents of the emails are quoted by prefixing +each line with '> ' and included in the body. + +The resulting message template is output to stdout. + +Supported options for +.B reply +include +.RS +.TP 4 +.BR \-\-format= ( default | headers\-only ) +.RS +.TP 4 +.BR default +Includes subject and quoted message body. +.TP +.BR headers\-only +Only produces In\-Reply\-To, References, To, Cc, and Bcc headers. +.RE + +See the +.B "SEARCH SYNTAX" +section below for details of the supported syntax for <search-terms>. + +Note: It is most common to use +.B "notmuch reply" +with a search string matching a single message, (such as +id:<message-id>), but it can be useful to reply to several messages at +once.
