I find that it's more easily readable than the "echo | lei q" version. For bash users, the following should work as well: lei q -I https://lore.kernel.org/all/ -o ~/work/temp/lei/robh-patches \ --threads --dedupe=mid <<< \ '(dfn:drivers OR dfn:arch OR dfn:Documentation OR dfn:include OR dfn:scripts) AND f:robh@xxxxxxxxxx' Suggestion, can -I accept the URL containing the query, so that the command becomes: lei q -o ~/mail/foo --threads --dedupe=mid -I \ https://lore.kernel.org/all/?q=f%3Atorvalds+AND+nq%3Agarbage This way we pass both the location of the extindex to query AND the parameters we should use, avoiding shell quoting problems? -K
