asfml is a CLI for reading Apache Pony Mail archives from lists.apache.org.

It supports public archives directly and private archives through a manually provided Pony Mail session cookie.

npm install -g asfml                        # npm

Quick Start

Run asfml directly without installing it first:

uvx asfml list dev@opendal.apache.org --limit 5
npx asfml list dev@opendal.apache.org --limit 5

Or use an installed binary:

asfml list dev@opendal.apache.org --limit 5
asfml search dev@opendal.apache.org release --limit 5
asfml read <mid>

Usage

asfml list dev@opendal.apache.org --limit 5

Authenticate for private archives:

asfml auth set
