mu: Find messages to Alice with subject `jellyfish` containing the words `apples` or `oranges`.
$ mu find to:${alice} subject:${jellyfish} ${apples} OR ${oranges}
try on your machine

The command mu find to:${alice} subject:${jellyfish} ${apples} OR ${oranges} is a search command using the "mu" command-line email client.

Here's what each part of the command means:

  • mu find: This indicates the start of the search command in the "mu" email client.
  • to:${alice}: It specifies that the emails should be addressed to a recipient with the email address "alice".
  • subject:${jellyfish}: It states that the emails should have the subject line containing the word "jellyfish".
  • ${apples} OR ${oranges}: This is an "OR" operator that allows searching for emails that have either the word "apples" or "oranges" in any part of the email.

So, when you run this command, it will search for emails in your inbox that are addressed to "alice", have "jellyfish" in the subject line, and either contain "apples" or "oranges" in any part of the email.
