Improve the template command

[soywod]

As an aside, I like the template command.

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 --to=user@example.com --subject=Hello --body-stdin | h send --stdin

Being able to set custom headers (eg: when sending from rss-watch, I'd like to set some header so as to be able to filter rss emails to be sent to some folder) would be nice too.

Being able to set custom headers (...) would be nice too.

How do you see this? Sth alla cURL?

himalaya template new --to user@example.com --subject Hello --header "key: val" --header "key: val"

I refactored the Template system, it is way more flexible now. Here the list of the new options you can use to override parts of the template:

• --subject
• --from
• --body
• --signature

Those ones can be used multiple times:

• --to
• --cc
• --bcc
• --header (it should follow the format KEY: VAL, for eg: --header "TheKey: TheVal")

I just miss the body via stdin + tests + doc and I should be able to release it. I let you know @srid!

Nice! I haven't been using himalaya for a while (doing other things now) but I intend to eventually come back to it so as to customize and finalize a new email-based workflow for me (eg: get rss via email, then do a CLI workflow for reading and archiving links; then GTD, etc.).

Great :)
