<p align="center"> A temporary email right from your terminal written in POSIX sh</p><br>

<img src="images/demo.gif" align="right"> `tmpmail` is a command line utility written in POSIX `sh` that allows you to create a temporary email address
and receive emails to the temporary email address. It uses 1secmail's [API](https://www.1secmail.com/api/)
to receive emails.

By default `w3m` is used to render the HTML emails on the terminal.
But if you prefer another text based web browser or would rather view the email in a GUI web browser such as Firefox, simply
use the `--browser` argument followed by the command needed to launch the web browser of your choice.

## Dependencies
- `w3m`
- `curl`
- [`jq`](https://github.com/stedolan/jq)

## Installation
### Install locally

```bash
# Download the tmpmail file and make it executable
$ curl -L "https://git.io/tmpmail" > tmpmail && chmod +x tmpmail

# Then move it somewhere in your $PATH. Here is an example:
$ mv tmpmail ~/bin/
```

### AUR
`tmpmail` is available on the [AUR](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/tmpmail-git/), which is currently being maintained by [Benjamin Bädorf](https://github.com/b12f)

```bash
$ yay -S tmpmail-git
```

## Usage
```console
$ tmpmail --help
tmpmail
tmpmail -h | --version
tmpmail -g [ADDRESS]
tmpmail [-t | -b BROWSER] -r | ID

When called with no option and no argument, tmpmail lists the messages in
the inbox and their numeric IDs.  When called with one argument, tmpmail
shows the email message with specified ID.

-b, --browser BROWSER
        Specify BROWSER (default: w3m) that is used to render the HTML of
        the email
-g, --generate [ADDRESS]
        Generate a new email address, either the specified ADDRESS, or
        randomly create one
-h, --help
        Show help
-r, --recent
        View the most recent email message
-t, --text
        View the email as raw text, where all the HTML tags are removed.
        Without this option, HTML is used.
--version
        Show version
```
