tmpmail/README.md

A temporary email right from your terminal

tmpmail tmpmail is a command line utility that allows you to create a temporary email address and receive emails to the temporary email address. It uses 1secmail's API to receive the 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.

Requirements

• w3m
• curl
• jq

Usage

optional arguments:

    --version        Print version
-g, --generate       Generate a new email address
-r, --recent         View the most recent mail
-b, --browser        Change the browser that is used to render the HTML (default: w3m)
