DESCRIPTION
       The  mewl  utility  extracts  necessary	fields from messages stored in
       folders.	 This command is necessary for Mew to implement	the  asynchro-
       nous feature.

       -a      Print all necessary fields when picking.

       -b dir  Set the Mail home to dir.

       -c bodylen
	       Set the max body	length to be extracted to bodylen.

       -d field

       -i file Set the input stream to file.

       -l length
	       Set  the	 max  field length to be extracted to length.  The de-
	       fault value is 3. 0 means no limit.

       -n      Don't use fstat().

       -p pattern
	       Specify the pick	pattern.

       -s src  Set message source to src : '+folder range'.

       -w      Wait for	stdio input to synchronize.

       -v      Display the version.

       -x suffix
	       Use this	suffix.

	       Definitions of the symbols above	are as follows:

       range   N | [start]-[end] | last:N

       pattern 'key=val' | 'key!=val' |	'!<pattern>' | '(<pattern>)' |	'<pat-
	       tern>&<pattern>'	| '<pattern>|<pattern>'

       If a field is long, only	the beginning three lines are extracted	by de-
       fault.
