frm -- List headers from a mailbox.

The frm command outputs a header information of the selected messages in a mailbox. By default, frm reads the user's system mailbox and outputs the contents of From and Subject headers for each message. If a folder is specified in the command line, the program reads that folder rather than the default mailbox.

The program uses following option groups: See mailbox.

The following command line options alter the behavior of the program:

-f STRING

--field STRING

Display the header named by STRING instead of From Subject pair.

-l

--to

Include the contents of To header to the output. The output field order is then: To From Subject.

-n

--number

Prefix each line with corresponding message number.

-Q

--Quiet

Be very quiet. Nothing is output except error messages. This is useful in shell scripts where only the return status of the program is important.

-q

--query

Print a message only if there are unread messages in the mailbox.

-S

--summary

Print a summary line.

-s ATTR

--status ATTR

Only display headers from messages with the given status. ATTR may be one of the following: new, read, unread. It is sufficient to specify only first letter of an ATTR. Multiple -s options are allowed.

-t

--align

Tidy mode. Currently is not implemented. Included for compatibility with frm program from Elm package.
