NAME

lei-rm - unindex a message in lei/store

SYNOPSIS

lei rm [ OPTIONS ] (-|--stdin)

lei rm [ OPTIONS ] LOCATION

DESCRIPTION

Removes message(s) and associated private metadata from lei/store indices. It does not affect messages stored in externals, so it’s still possible to get "removed" messages from externals in lei-q search results.

This does not remove the message from underlying git storage nor does it remove messages from Maildir/mbox/IMAP/etc. sources.

-F MAIL_FORMAT
--in-format=MAIL_FORMAT

Message input format: "eml", "mboxrd", "mboxcl2", "mboxcl", or "mboxo" when reading from stdin or using one of the mbox variants.

Not necessary when using an IMAP URL, NNTP URL or Maildir.

Default: "eml" when reading from stdin or if the file suffix ends in ".patch" or ".eml".

--lock=METHOD

mbox(5) locking method(s) to use: "dotlock", "fcntl", "flock" or "none".

Default: fcntl,dotlock

-q

--quiet
