# hmine(1)

a mail message header analyzer.

## NAME

hmine - a mail message header analyzer.

## SYNOPSIS

**hmine** \[-vDa\] \[FILE\]

**hmine** -V

## DESCRIPTION

**hmine** reads a mail message from FILE or STDIN and outputs a variety of information found in the message headers. The message is expected in Internet mail format (RFC 821,822,2821,2822 or variations thereof). The body is not inspected.

## EXIT STATUS

On success,  **hmine** returns 1. In case of a problem,  **hmine** returns zero.

## OPTIONS

- \-a

  Print mailboxes and groups found in various header fields, one per line, preceded by the field name. Actual email addresses are always enclosed in '\<' and '\>' for easy parsing, ie anything not within these delimiters is not part of an email address. Beware that not every line  need contain an email address.

- \-D

  Debug output.

- \-V

  Print the program version number and exit.

## USAGE

An invocation looks like this:

% hmine email.txt
