NAME

       abook - text-based address book program

SYNOPSIS

       abook [ OPTION ]

DESCRIPTION

       This  manual  page  documents  briefly  the  abook program.  This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the
       original program does not have a manual page.

       abook is a text-based address book program. It contains Name, Email, Address and various Phone fields. It is designed for  use  with  mutt,
       but can be equally useful on its own.

OPTIONS

       -h --help
	      Show usage.

       -C --config <filename>
	      Use an alternative configuration file (default is $HOME/.abook/abookrc).

       --datafile <filename>
	      Use an alternative addressbook file (default is $HOME/.abook/addressbook).

       --mutt-query <string>
	      Make a query for mutt (search the addressbook for <string>).
	      The --datafile option, as documented above, may be used BEFORE this option to search a different addressbook file.

       --convert [ --informat <inputformat> ] [ --infile <inputfile> ] [ --outformat <outputformat> ] [ --outfile <outputfile> ]
	      Converts <inputfile> in <inputformat> to <outputfile> in <outputformat> (defaults are abook, stdin, text and stdout).

	      The following inputformats are supported:
	      - abook abook native format
	      - ldif ldif / Netscape addressbook
	      - mutt mutt alias
	      - pine pine addressbook
	      - csv comma separated values
	      - palmcsv Palm comma separated values

	      The following outputformats are supported:
	      - abook abook native format
	      - ldif ldif / Netscape addressbook (.4ld)
	      - mutt mutt alias
	      - html html document
	      - pine pine addressbook
	      - gcrd GnomeCard (VCard) addressbook
	      - csv comma separated values
	      - palmcsv Palm comma separated values
	      - elm elm alias
	      - text plain text
	      - spruce Spruce address book
	      - wl Wanderlust address book
	      - bsdcal BSD calendar

       --add-email
	      Read an e-mail message from stdin and add the sender to the addressbook.

       --add-email-quiet
	      Same as --add-email but doesn't confirm adding.

       --formats
	      List available formats.

NMZMAIL(1)						      General Commands Manual							NMZMAIL(1)

NAME

       nmzmail - a tool to use the namazu2 search engine from within mutt

SYNOPSIS

       nmzmail [ -b <base> ] [ -r <result> ] -i <maildir1> <maildir2> ...

	-or-

       nmzmail [ -b <base> ] [ -r <result> ] [ -n <limit> ]

DESCRIPTION

       nmzmail	is a program that uses the namazu2 search engine (http://www.namazu.org) from within the mail client mutt to search and index mail
       stored in maildir folders.  Based on the result of the namazu query, nmzmail generates a maildir folder containing symbolic  links  to  the
       mail  matching  the query.  A simple mutt macro makes it very easy to use nmzmail from within mutt, and a simple crontab entry always keeps
       your mail indexed by namazu.

       Add the following macro to your muttrc file:

       macro generic S "<shell-escape>nmzmail<return><esc>c~/.nmzmail/result<return>" "Search via nmzmail"

       Run mutt and hit "S" and enter your query when prompted.

       You can manually update your index periodically or via a cronjob with:

       nmzmail -i <maildir1> <maildir2>  ...

OPTIONS

       -i     This tells nmzmail to index your email.

       -b FILE
	      Base.  Where nmzmail builds its index.  By default it is in $HOME/.nmzmail.

       -r FILE
	      Result.  Similar to -b, this lets you specify where the results are to be built. By default it is within $HOME/.nmzmail.

       -n NUM Limit.  When making a query, nmzmail can be used directly from the command line instead of from within mutt.  When the -n option	is
	      invoked, the number of results returned from your query will be limited to whatever integer you specify for NUM.
