xdg-email opens the user's preferred e-mail composer in order to send
a mail to <em class="replaceable"><code>address(es)</code></em> or
<em class="replaceable"><code>mailto-uri</code></em>. RFC2368 defines mailto:
URIs. xdg-email limits support to, cc, subject and body fields in
<em class="replaceable"><code>mailto-uri</code></em>, all other fields are silently
ignored. <em class="replaceable"><code>address(es)</code></em> must follow the
syntax of RFC822. Multiple addresses may be provided as
separate arguments.
</p><p>
All information provided on the command line is used to
prefill corresponding fields in the user's e-mail composer. The user
will have the opportunity to change any of this information before
actually sending the e-mail.
</p><p>
xdg-email is for use inside a desktop session only.
It is not recommended to use xdg-email as root.
</p><p>
See http://portland.freedesktop.org/EmailConfig for information on
how the user can change the e-mail composer that is used.
</p></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><a name="options"></a><h2>Options</h2><div class="variablelist"><dl><dt><span class="term"><code class="option">--utf8</code></span></dt><dd>
Indicates that all command line options that follow are in utf8.
Without this option, command line options are expected to be
encoded according to locale.
If the locale already specifies utf8 this option has no effect.
This option does not affect mailto URIs that are passed on the
command line.
</dd><dt><span class="term"><code class="option">--cc</code> <em class="replaceable"><code>address</code></em></span></dt><dd>
Specify a recipient to be copied on the e-mail.

Specify a recipient to be blindly copied on the e-mail.
</dd><dt><span class="term"><code class="option">--subject</code> <em class="replaceable"><code>text</code></em></span></dt><dd>
Specify a subject for the e-mail.
</dd><dt><span class="term"><code class="option">--body</code> <em class="replaceable"><code>text</code></em></span></dt><dd>
Specify a body for the e-mail. Since the user will be able to
make changes before actually sending the e-mail, this can be
used to provide the user with a template for the e-mail.
<em class="replaceable"><code>text</code></em> may contain linebreaks.
</dd><dt><span class="term"><code class="option">--attach</code> <em class="replaceable"><code>file</code></em></span></dt><dd><p>
Specify an attachment for the e-mail. <em class="replaceable"><code>file</code></em>
must point to an existing file.
</p><p>
Some e-mail applications require the file to remain present
after xdg-email returns.

xdg-email honours the following environment variables:
</p><div class="variablelist"><dl><dt><span class="term">XDG_UTILS_DEBUG_LEVEL</span></dt><dd>
Setting this environment variable to a non-zero numerical value
makes xdg-email do more verbose reporting on stderr.
Setting a higher value increases the verbosity.
</dd></dl></div></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><a name="exitcodes"></a><h2>Exit Codes</h2><p>
An exit code of 0 indicates success while a non-zero exit code
indicates failure. The following failure codes can be returned:
