Run an aerc-internal command as you would in Ex-Mode. See *RUNTIME COMMANDS* below. + The command to be executed and its arguments can either be passed as + separate arguments in the shell (e.g., _aerc :cmd arg1 arg2_) or as a single + argument in the shell (e.g., _aerc ":cmd arg1 arg2"_). In the former case, + aerc may add quotes to the command before it is parsed in an attempt to + preserve arguments containing spaces and other special characters. In the + latter case, aerc will parse the command verbatim, as if it had been typed + directly on aerc's command line. This latter form can be helpful for + commands that don't interpret quotes in their arguments. + *mbox:*_<file>_ Open the specified mbox file as a virtual temporary account. |
