Add archive command Adds an archive command that moves the current message into the folder specified in the account config entry. Supports three layouts at this point: - flat: puts all messages next to each other - year: creates a folder per year - month: same as above, plus folders per month This also adds a "-p" argument to "cp" and "mv" that works like "--parents" on mkdir(1). We use this to auto-create the directories for the archive layout.

*archive* <scheme>
Moves the selected message to the archive. The available schemes are:
*flat*: No special structure, all messages in the archive directory
*year*: Messages are stored in folders per year

Add :save and :pipe commands to viewer * :save takes a path and saves the current message part to that location * :pipe is the same as pipe on the account page, but uses the current message part rather than the whole email (ie :pipe gzip -d) * Refactored account:pipe and extracted common pipe code to commands.util.QuickTerm * Added helper command aerc.PushError
2019-05-26 21:37:39 +00:00
*pipe* <cmd>
Downloads and pipes the current message part into the given shell command,
and opens a new terminal tab to show the result.
Support directories in path to :save This adds new functionality to :save in the message view for specifying directories in the path. A new flag, -p, is also added to :save for automatically creating any directories in the path that do not exist. If the path ends in a / (e.g. "Downloads/mail/") or if the path is an existing directory, the part's file name is the filename from the mail header for the part. Otherwise, it uses the last element in the path as the filename (e.g. 'blah.jpg' is the filename if the path is 'Downloads/mail/blah.jpg')
