  NAME
tkmr - search and browse multiple mail / news files

  SYNOPSIS
tkmr [ filename ... ]

  DESCRIPTION
tkmr is a graphical mail file reader (read-only). It is useful for searching in multiple mail files for that elusive message or saved news article you knew you had but can't find. It uses the tcl/tk scripting language and toolkit for its user interface. It can load multiple mail files (including saved usenet news articles, provided your newsreader saved them in ”mail file“ format) and display all the headers at once. Once mail files are loaded, you can sort the messages in various ways, change the information shown in the header list, search for keywords, and display selected messages. For full information, use the ”Help“ button in tkmr.

  OPTIONS
Currently none. You can specify one or more filenames to load initially on the tkmr command line, as well as loading them interactively from tkmr.

  FILES

$HOME/.tkmrrc
    optional initialization file

  NOTES
tkmr is not supposed to be a general mail tool. It was designed to solve a particular problem and do it well. It will probably never have features for modifying mail files or sending mail. It will probably allow messages to be copied to a new mail file, for the purposes of collecting messages on a topic you're searching for.

  BUGS
There are lots. For now, some debugging information is printed to the window from which you started tkmr. Sometimes the message header can get de-highlighted, which makes the prev and next buttons inside the message window not work. Some errors (e.g. hitting display with no message selected) are handled by the standard tk error mechanism, which pops up a cryptic error message. Friendlier error messages, and mechanisms to prevent such errors, are needed.
