mutt:tldr:5d2ce

mutt: Specify a draft file containing the header and the body of the message, in RFC 5322 format.
$ mutt -H ${filename} ${recipient@example-com}
try on your machine

This command is using the Mutt command line email client and its options:

  • -H ${filename}: This option specifies the file to be used as the message body. ${filename} is a placeholder for the actual name of the file. This allows you to specify a file to be used as the content of the email message.

  • ${recipient@example-com}: This is another placeholder for the actual email address of the recipient. You need to replace ${recipient@example-com} with the actual recipient's email address.

Overall, the command is instructing Mutt to compose an email using the file specified by ${filename} as the message body, and sending it to the recipient with the specified email address.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
