Branch: CURRENT, Version: 0.21.0nb6, Package name: aerc-0.21.0nb6, Maintainer: ktnb

aerc is an email client that runs in your terminal. It's highly
efficient and extensible, perfect for the discerning hacker. Check
out the screencast above to get an idea of how it's used.

Some of its more interesting features include:

- Editing emails in an embedded terminal tmux-style, allowing you
to check on incoming emails and reference other threads while you
compose your replies
- Render HTML emails with an interactive terminal web browser,
highlight patches with diffs, and browse with an embedded less
session
- First-class support for working with git & email
- Open a new tab with a terminal emulator and a shell running for
easy access to nearby git repos for parallel work
- Support for multiple accounts, with IMAP, Maildir, Notmuch, Mbox
and JMAP backends.
- Asynchronous IMAP and JMAP support ensures
- Efficient network usage
- Email threading (with and/or without IMAP server support).
- PGP signing, encryption and verification using GNUpg.

  `new_message` template runs a signature command.
- Threads now sorted by the greatest message according to the sort
  criteria and not by the message with the greatest UID.

  matches first.
