A command to retrieve the raw message

[srid]

h read only returns the text body, but it would be useful to have a command that returns the entire raw message. In JSON mode (-o json), the output could be in a structured form, instead of just dumping the raw email message.

This would be analogous to h write which does take a raw message.

I totally agree. It should not be so hard, since I have the raw message in memory!

As an aside, I like the idea behind the template command, which also some potential for improvement as well.

I plan to use himalaya mostly in scripts, and being able to even fill in "template variables" would be handy in that workflow. For eg.,

echo Ping | h template new [email protected] --subject=Hello --body-stdin | h send --stdin

First I wanted to add a new type to the arg --mime-type. But it's not so clear in which category we should put this "raw" mode (text/plain? application/octet-stream?). So I decided to introduce a new flag --raw that returns the raw message as UTF8 encoded string. Let me know what you think about it.
