| 17 .SH "DESCRIPTION" |
| 18 .PP |
| 19 xdg\-email opens the user's preferred e\-mail composer in order to send a mail t
o |
| 20 \fIaddress(es)\fR |
| 21 or |
| 22 \fImailto\-uri\fR. RFC2368 defines mailto: URIs. xdg\-email limits support to, c
c, subject and body fields in |
| 23 \fImailto\-uri\fR, all other fields are silently ignored. |
| 24 \fIaddress(es)\fR |
| 25 must follow the syntax of RFC822. Multiple addresses may be provided as separate
arguments. |
| 26 .PP |
| 27 All information provided on the command line is used to prefill corresponding fi
elds in the user's e\-mail composer. The user will have the opportunity to chang
e any of this information before actually sending the e\-mail. |
| 28 .PP |
| 29 xdg\-email is for use inside a desktop session only. It is not recommended to us
e xdg\-email as root. |
| 30 .PP |
| 31 See http://portland.freedesktop.org/EmailConfig for information on how the user
can change the e\-mail composer that is used. |
| 32 .SH "OPTIONS" |
| 33 .TP |
| 34 \fB\-\-utf8\fR |
| 35 Indicates that all command line options that follow are in utf8. Without this op
tion, command line options are expected to be encoded according to locale. If th
e locale already specifies utf8 this option has no effect. This option does not
affect mailto URIs that are passed on the command line. |
| 36 .TP |
| 37 \fB\-\-cc\fR \fIaddress\fR |
| 38 Specify a recipient to be copied on the e\-mail. |
| 39 .TP |
| 40 \fB\-\-bcc\fR \fIaddress\fR |
| 41 Specify a recipient to be blindly copied on the e\-mail. |
| 42 .TP |
| 43 \fB\-\-subject\fR \fItext\fR |
| 44 Specify a subject for the e\-mail. |
| 45 .TP |
| 46 \fB\-\-body\fR \fItext\fR |
| 47 Specify a body for the e\-mail. Since the user will be able to make changes befo
re actually sending the e\-mail, this can be used to provide the user with a tem
plate for the e\-mail. |
| 48 \fItext\fR |
| 49 may contain linebreaks. |
| 50 .TP |
| 51 \fB\-\-attach\fR \fIfile\fR |
| 52 Specify an attachment for the e\-mail. |
| 53 \fIfile\fR |
| 54 must point to an existing file. |
| 55 .sp |

| 66 .SH "ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES" |
| 67 .PP |
| 68 xdg\-email honours the following environment variables: |
| 69 .TP |
| 70 XDG_UTILS_DEBUG_LEVEL |
| 71 Setting this environment variable to a non\-zero numerical value makes xdg\-emai
l do more verbose reporting on stderr. Setting a higher value increases the verb
osity. |
| 72 .SH "EXIT CODES" |
| 73 .PP |
| 74 An exit code of 0 indicates success while a non\-zero exit code indicates failur
e. The following failure codes can be returned: |
