NAME

       mail2sms - reads a (MIME) mail and converts it to a short message.


SYNOPSIS

       /usr/local/etc/mail2sms.conf
       ~/.mail2sms


DESCRIPTION

       mail2sms offers search and replace, conditional rules, conditional
       search and replace etc to create a custom output. It can optionally
       pipe its output into a specified program.

       All this is controlled with the config file, which this man page intend
       to describe.

       The config file contains a series of control commands.  Each entry has
       the form:

              keyword   [ : value ]

       keyword             This is the command that sets or control a certain
                           item or the flow of the config file starting from
                           here.

       value               This parameter depends on the command. It may also
                           be left out depending on the command.

       Values are either written plainly and whitespaces left and right of the
       words are cut off, or within quotes (").  If the value is quoted, you
       must escape quotes to be able to have them in the string, as in: " \"
       ".

       Fields should be separated by any number of SPACE and/or TAB characters
       and a colon (:).

       The available commands are of a few different kinds, and therefore this
       description has a few different sections that describe the commands in
       each section.

       A `#' (number sign) indicates the beginning of a comment; characters up
       to the end of the line are not interpreted by routines which parses the
       file.

       Basically, there are two kinds of keywords. The first is the one read
       and dealt with in real-time when read, they may also build strings that
       define output format, command to run etc.. The other type is the
       keywords that build a tree of regular expressions with accompanying
       actions. It is important to understand the difference.

General Keywords
       Left to write. See the README for now.
