Read and organize

briskmail triage

Built

Propose one of five Triage groups for a cached Inbox message.

Usage

briskmail triage propose <message-id> <group>

Changes sealed local Triage metadata only. The message must already be in the local Inbox. Groups: reply, do, read, paper-trail, clean-up. No Gmail request or mail action.

Runs only while Let apps read and organize my mail is on. With it off, the command exits 2 and names the switch.

Global flags
