NAME

       mflow — reflow format=flowed plain text messages

SYNOPSIS

       mflow [-f] [-q] [-w width] < file

DESCRIPTION

       mflow  reformats  the  standard input according to the rules of RFC 3676.  PIPE_CONTENTTYPE is inspected,
       making this a suitable filter  for  ‘text/plain’  messages  for  mshow(1).   Messages  not  specified  as
       ‘format=flowed’ are output unchanged.

       Text is reflowed (where allowed) to fit the width given in the environment variable COLUMNS, the terminal
       width, or 80 characters by default.

       If defined, the environment variable MAXCOLUMNS specifies the maximum line length.

       The options are as follows:

       -f      Force wrapping of long lines.

       -q      Prefix lines with ‘>’.  Can be used multiple times.

       -w width
               Set maximum line length to width.

EXIT STATUS

       The mflow utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
