neomutt: Specify a file to include as the message body.
$ neomutt -i ${filename} ${recipient@example-com}
try on your machine

The command neomutt -i ${filename} ${recipient@example-com} is likely used to invoke the "neomutt" command-line email client with specific options.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • neomutt: This is the executable command for the neomutt email client. It is used to compose, send, and read emails from the command line.

  • -i ${filename}: This option specifies the input file to attach to the email. The ${filename} signifies a variable that should be replaced with the actual name of the file you want to attach. It could be a document, image, or any other file.

  • ${recipient@example-com}: This represents the recipient's email address. Like the previous variable, ${recipient@example-com} should be replaced with the actual email address of the recipient. It follows the format of "username@example.com" where "username" represents the recipient's email username and "example.com" represents the email domain.

By running the above command, neomutt would open with the specified input file attached and the provided recipient's email address pre-filled in the appropriate field, allowing you to compose an email and send it.
