NAME

       lei-tag - set/unset metadata on messages

SYNOPSIS

       lei tag [OPTIONS] FILE [FILE...] METADATA [METADATA...]

       lei tag [OPTIONS] (-|--stdin) METADATA [METADATA...]

DESCRIPTION

       Set or unset volatile metadata on messages.  In JMAP terms, "volatile metadata" includes "mailboxes"
       (analogous to a folder or label) and a restricted set of "keywords".  This supported keywords are the
       combination of system keywords (seen, answered, flagged, and draft), which map to Maildir flags and mbox
       Status/X-Status headers, as well as reserved keywords (forwarded, phishing, junk, and notjunk).

       To add a label or keyword, prefix it with "+L:" and "+kw:", respectively.  To remove a label or keyword,
       use "-L:" or "-kw:".  For example, "+kw:flagged" would set the "flagged" keyword for the specified
       messages, and "-L:INBOX" would remove the "INBOX" label.

OPTIONS

       -F MAIL_FORMAT
       --in-format=MAIL_FORMAT
           Message input format: "eml", "mboxrd", "mboxcl2", "mboxcl", or "mboxo".

           Default: "eml"

       -q
       --quiet
           Suppress feedback messages.

LABELS

       Labels  are  user-defined  values analogous to IMAP/JMAP mailbox names.  They must only contain lowercase
       characters, digits, and a limited amount of punctuation (e.g. ".", "-", "@").

       Messages may have multiple labels.

KEYWORDS

       Keywords are "flags" in Maildir and IMAP  terminology.   Common  keywords  include:  "seen",  "answered",
       "flagged", and "draft", though "forwarded", "phishing", "junk", and "notjunk" are also supported.

       When  writing  to  various  mboxes,  the  common  keywords  will be mapped to the "Status" and "X-Status"
       headers.

       Messages may have multiple keywords.
