441 [multipart-converters]

444 # main text/plain part into any other MIME type. Only exact MIME types are
445 # accepted. The commands are invoked with sh -c and are expected to output

449 # using the markdown syntax):

455 # certain emails differently, e.g. highlighting them with ANSI escape codes.
457 # The commands are invoked with sh -c. The following folders are appended to
458 # the system $PATH to allow referencing filters from their name only:
460 # ${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-~/.config}/aerc/filters
461 # ${XDG_DATA_HOME:-~/.local/share}/aerc/filters
462 # $PREFIX/share/aerc/filters

469 # AERC_FILENAME the attachment filename (if any)
470 # AERC_SUBJECT the message Subject header value
471 # AERC_FROM the message From header value
473 # The first filter which matches the email's mimetype will be used, so order
474 # them from most to least specific.
476 # You can also match on non-mimetypes, by prefixing with the header to match
477 # against (non-case-sensitive) and a comma, e.g. subject,text will match a
478 # subject which contains "text". Use header,~regex to match against a regex.
