lei lcat [Options] MSGID_OR_URL [MSGID_OR_URL...]

lei lcat [Options] (--stdin|-)

lcat (local cat) is a wrapper around lei-q(1) that displays local messages by Message-ID.  It is able to extract Message-IDs from URLs as well as from common formats such as <$MSGID> and id:$MSGID.  When reading from stdin, input that isn't understood is discarded, so the caller doesn't have to bother extracting the Message-ID or link from surrounding text (e.g., a "Link: $URL" line).

The following options, described in lei-q(1), are supported. One deviation from lei-q(1) is the default output format is -f text when writing to stdout.

--format=FORMAT

-f FORMAT

Most commonly text (the default) or reply to display the message(s) in a format suitable for trimming and sending as a email reply.

--stdin

-

lei lcat implicitly reads from stdin if it is a pipe(7) or regular file.  This is handy for invoking lei lcat from inside an $EDITOR session (assuming you use an $EDITOR which lets you pipe arbitrary lines to arbitrary commands).
