| | =head1 NAME
public-inbox-purge - erase messages from a public inbox and its history
=head1 SYNOPSIS
# requires ~/.public-inbox/config
public-inbox-purge --all </path/to/message-to-purge
# for testing with unconfigured inboxes:
public-inbox-purge $INBOX_DIR </path/to/message-to-purge
=head1 DESCRIPTION
public-inbox-purge allows removing entire messages in a given
inbox from history. It is only intended as a last resort, as it
will cause discontiguous git history and draw more attention to
the sensitive data in mirrors.
For removing spam, L<public-inbox-learn(1)> is preferable as it
preserves contiguous git history.
For editing sensitive information out of messages, consider
L<public-inbox-edit(1)>, instead, but keep in mind it still
leads to discontiguous git history.
=head1 OPTIONS
=over
=item --all
Purge the message in all inboxes configured in ~/.public-inbox/config.
This is an alternative to specifying individual inboxes directories
on the command-line.
=back
=head1 ENVIRONMENT
=over 8
=item PI_CONFIG
The default config file, normally "~/.public-inbox/config".
See L<public-inbox-config(5)>
=back
=head1 LIMITATIONS
Only L<public-inbox-v2-format(5)> inboxes are supported.
