address@hidden preface
-
-This manual introduces another interface to the MH mail system that is
-accessible through the GNU Emacs editor, namely, @emph{MH-E}. MH-E is
-easy to use. I don't assume that you know GNU Emacs or even MH at this
-point, since I didn't know either of them when I discovered MH-E.
-However, MH-E was the tip of the iceberg, and I discovered more and
-more niceties about GNU Emacs and address@hidden Now I'm fully hooked on both
of
-them.
-
-The MH-E package is distributed with GNU address@hidden
address@hidden of MH-E will appear in GNU Emacs 22.1. It is supported
-in GNU Emacs 21, as well as XEmacs 21 (except for versions
-21.5.9-21.5.16). It is compatible with MH versions 6.8.4 and higher,
-all versions of nmh, and GNU mailutils 1.0 and higher.}, so you
-shouldn't have to do anything special to use it. This manual covers
-MH-E version @value{VERSION}. To help you decide which version you
-have, see @ref{Getting Started}.
-
address@hidden help-with-tutorial
address@hidden C-h t
-
-If you don't already use GNU Emacs but want to learn more, you can
-read an online tutorial by starting GNU Emacs and typing @kbd{C-h t}
-(@code{help-with-tutorial}). (To learn about this notation, see
address@hidden) If you want to take the plunge, consult the
address@hidden

address@hidden ifinfo
address@hidden
address@hidden://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/,
address@hidden Emacs Manual}},
address@hidden ifhtml
-from the Free Software Foundation.
-
-If more information is needed, you can go to the Unix manual pages of
-the individual MH commands. When the name is not obvious, I'll guide
-you to a relevant MH manual page that describes the action more fully.

address@hidden info
address@hidden C-h i
-
-This manual is available in both Info and online formats. The Info
-version is distributed with Emacs and can be accessed with the
address@hidden command (@samp{info mh-e}) or within Emacs (@kbd{C-h i
-m mh-e @key{RET}}). The online version is available at
address@hidden://mh-e.sourceforge.net/manual/, SourceForge}. Another great
-online resource is the book @uref{http://www.ics.uci.edu/~mh/book/,
address@hidden & nmh: Email for Users & Programmers}} (also known as
address@hidden MH book}).

-I hope you enjoy this manual! If you have any comments, or suggestions

-
-In general, @dfn{functions} in this text refer to Emacs Lisp functions
-that one would call from within Emacs Lisp programs (for example,
address@hidden(mh-inc-folder)}). On the other hand, @dfn{commands} are those
-things that are run by the user, such as @kbd{i} or @kbd{M-x
-mh-inc-folder}. Programs outside of Emacs are specifically called MH
-commands, shell commands, or Unix commands.
-
address@hidden conventions, key names
address@hidden key names
-
-The conventions for key names are as follows:
-
address@hidden @kbd
address@hidden C-x
-Hold down the @key{CTRL} (Control) key and press the @kbd{x} key.
address@hidden -------------------------
address@hidden M-x
-Hold down the @key{META} or @key{ALT} key and press the @kbd{x} key.
-
-Since some keyboards don't have a @key{META} key, you can generate
address@hidden, for example, by pressing @key{ESC} (Escape),
address@hidden it}, and then pressing the @kbd{x} key.
address@hidden -------------------------
address@hidden @key{RET}
-Press the @key{RETURN} or @key{ENTER} key. This is normally used to
-complete a command.
address@hidden -------------------------
address@hidden @key{SPC}
-Press the space bar.
address@hidden -------------------------
address@hidden @key{TAB}
-Press the @key{TAB} key.
address@hidden -------------------------
address@hidden @key{DEL}
-Press the @key{DELETE} key.
address@hidden -------------------------
address@hidden @key{BS}
-Press the @key{BACKSPACE} address@hidden you are using Version 20 or
-earlier of Emacs, you will need to use the @key{DEL} key.}.

address@hidden Emacs, prefix argument
address@hidden prefix argument
address@hidden C-u
-
-A @dfn{prefix argument} allows you to pass an argument to any Emacs
-function. To pass an argument, type @kbd{C-u} before the Emacs command
-or keystroke. Numeric arguments can be passed as well. For example, to
-insert five f's, use @kbd{C-u 5 f}. There is a default of four when
-using @kbd{C-u}, and you can use multiple prefix arguments to provide
-arguments of powers of four. To continue our example, you could insert
-four f's with @kbd{C-u f}, 16 f's with @kbd{C-u C-u f}, 64 f's with
address@hidden C-u C-u f}, and so on. Numeric and valueless negative
-arguments can also be inserted with the @key{META} key. Examples
-include @kbd{M-5} to specify an argument of 5, or @kbd{M--} which
-specifies a negative argument with no particular value.
-
address@hidden 1
address@hidden @strong{NOTE}
-
address@hidden
-The prefix @kbd{C-u} or @kbd{M-} is not necessary in MH-E's MH-Folder
-mode (@pxref{Reading Mail Tour}). In this mode, simply enter the
-numerical argument before entering the command.

-Hooks} in @cite{The GNU Emacs Manual}
address@hidden ifhtml
-for a description about @dfn{normal hooks} and @dfn{abnormal hooks}.
-MH-E uses normal hooks in nearly all cases, so you can assume that we
-are talking about normal hooks unless we explicitly mention that a
-hook is abnormal. We also follow the conventions described in that
-section: the name of the abnormal hooks end in @code{-hooks} and all
-the rest of the MH-E hooks end in @code{-hook}. You can add hooks with

-
-There are several other terms that are used in Emacs that you should
-know. The @dfn{point} is where the cursor currently is. You can save
-your current place in the file by setting a @dfn{mark}. This operation
-is useful in several ways. The mark can be later used when defining a
address@hidden, which is the text between the point and mark. Many
-commands operate on regions, such as those for deleting text or
-filling paragraphs. A mark can be set with @kbd{C-@@} (or
address@hidden@key{SPC}}).

-
-The @dfn{minibuffer} is the bottom line of the Emacs window, where all
-prompting and multiple-character input is directed. You can use
address@hidden to enter values such as folders. Completion means
-that Emacs fills in text for you when you type @key{SPC} or @key{TAB}.
-A second @key{SPC} or @key{TAB} will list all possibilities at that
-point.

-Note that @key{SPC} cannot be used for completing filenames and
-folders.
-
address@hidden help-with-tutorial
address@hidden C-h t
address@hidden M-x
-
-The minibuffer is also where you enter Emacs function names after
-typing @kbd{M-x}. For example, in the preface, I mentioned that you
-could obtain help with @kbd{C-h t} (@code{help-with-tutorial}). What
-this means is that you can get a tutorial by typing either @kbd{C-h t}
-or @kbd{M-x help-with-tutorial}. In the latter case, you are prompted
-for @samp{help-with-tutorial} in the minibuffer after typing
address@hidden
-
address@hidden ~
-
-The @samp{~} notation in filenames represents your home directory.
-This notation is used by many shells including @command{bash},
address@hidden, and @command{csh}. It is analogous to the environment
-variable @samp{$HOME}. For example, @file{~/.emacs} can be written
address@hidden/.emacs} or using the absolute path as in
address@hidden/home/wohler/.emacs} instead.

address@hidden case of trouble:} Emacs can be interrupted at any time with
address@hidden For example, if you've started a command that requests that
-you enter something in the minibuffer, but then you change your mind,
-type @kbd{C-g} and you'll be back where you started. If you want to
-exit Emacs entirely, use @kbd{C-x C-c}.

address@hidden MH-E, versions
address@hidden history
address@hidden versions of MH-E
-
-Because there are many old versions of MH-E out there, it is important
-to know which version you have. I'll be talking about @w{Version 8}
-which is pretty close to @w{Version 6} and @w{Version 7}. It differs
-from @w{Version 4} and @w{Version 5} and is vastly different from
address@hidden 3}. @xref{History}.
-
address@hidden mh-version
-
-To determine which version of MH-E that you have, enter @kbd{M-x
-mh-version @key{RET}}. Hopefully it says that you're running
address@hidden @value{VERSION}} which is the latest version as of this
-printing.
-
-If your version is much older than this, please consider upgrading.
-You can have your system administrator upgrade the system-wide
-version, or you can install your own personal version. It's really
-quite easy. @xref{Getting MH-E}, for instructions for getting and
-installing MH-E.
-
-If the @code{mh-version} command displays @samp{No MH variant
address@hidden very old versions of MH-E, you may get the error
-message, @samp{Cannot find the commands `inc' and `mhl' and the file
-`components'} if MH-E can't find MH. In this case, you need to update
-MH-E, and you may need to install MH too. However, newer versions of
-MH-E are better at finding MH if it is on your system.}, then you need
-to install MH or tell MH-E where to find MH.
-
address@hidden Debian
address@hidden nmh
address@hidden GNU mailutils
-
-If you don't have MH on your system already, you must install a
-variant of MH. The Debian mh-e package does this for you automatically
-(@pxref{Getting MH-E}). Most people use
address@hidden://www.nongnu.org/nmh/, nmh}, but you may be interested in
-trying out @uref{http://www.gnu.org/software/mailutils/, GNU
-mailutils}, which supports IMAP. Your GNU/Linux distribution probably
-has packages for both of these.
-
address@hidden @command{install-mh}
address@hidden MH commands, @command{install-mh}
address@hidden MH book
-
-If you've never run MH before, you need to run @command{install-mh}
-from the shell before you continue. This sets up your personal MH
address@hidden the section
address@hidden@value{MH-BOOK-HOME}/../overall/setup.html, Setting Up MH} in the
-MH book.}. If you don't, you'll be greeted with the error message:
address@hidden MH and run install-mh before running MH-E}. This is all
-you need to know about MH to use MH-E, but the more you know about MH,
-the more you can leverage its power. See the
address@hidden@value{MH-BOOK-HOME}/../, MH book} to learn more about MH.

-
-Your MH environment includes your @dfn{MH profile} which is found in

-
-There are several options MH-E uses to interact with your MH
-installation. The option @code{mh-variant} specifies the variant used
-by MH-E (@pxref{Options}). The default setting of this option is
address@hidden which means that MH-E will automatically choose the
-first of nmh, MH, or GNU mailutils that it finds in the directories
-listed in @code{mh-path} (which you can customize),
address@hidden, and @code{exec-path}. If MH-E can't find MH at
-all, you may have to customize @code{mh-path} and add the directory in
-which the command @command{mhparam} is located. If, on the other hand,
-you have both nmh and mailutils installed (for example) and
address@hidden was initialized to nmh but you want to use
-mailutils, then you can set @code{mh-variant} to @samp{mailutils}.
-
address@hidden mh-flists-present-flag

-In addition to setting variables that point to MH itself, MH-E also
-sets a handful of variables that point to where you keep your mail.
-During initialization, the function @code{mh-find-path} sets
address@hidden from your @samp{Path:} MH profile component (but
-defaults to @samp{Mail} if one isn't present), @code{mh-draft-folder}
-from @samp{Draft-Folder:}, @code{mh-unseen-seq} from

-running @kbd{C-h C-h}. This brings up a list of available help topics,
-one of which displays the documentation for a given key (like @kbd{C-h
-k C-n}). Another useful help feature is to view the manual section
-that describes a given key (such as @kbd{C-h K i}). In addition,
-review @ref{Conventions}, if any of the GNU Emacs conventions are
-strange to you.
-
-In addition to all of the commands, it is also possible to reconfigure
-MH-E to fit the needs of even the most demanding user. The following
-chapters also describe all of the options, show the defaults, and make
-recommendations for customization.
-
-However, when customizing your mail environment, first try to change
-what you want in MH, and only change MH-E if changing MH is not
-possible. That way you will get the same behavior inside and outside
-GNU Emacs. Note that MH-E does not provide hooks for customizations
-that can be done in MH; this omission is intentional.

-Options can also hold boolean values. In Emacs Lisp, the boolean
-values are @code{nil}, which means false, and @code{t}, which means
-true. The @code{customize-option} function makes it easy to change
-boolean values; simply click on the toggle button in the customize
-buffer to switch between @samp{on} (@code{t}) and @samp{off}
-(@code{nil}). For example, try setting @code{mh-bury-show-buffer-flag}
-to @samp{off} to keep the MH-Show buffer at the top of the buffer
-stack. Use the @samp{State} combo box and choose @samp{Set for Current
-Session} to see how the option affects the show buffer. Then choose
-the @samp{Erase Customization} menu item to reset the option to the
-default, which places the MH-Show buffer at the bottom of the buffer

-
address@hidden mh-mhl-format-file, example

-The text usually says to turn on an option by setting it to a

-argument. This argument can be used in several ways.
-
address@hidden C-u, with ranges
-
-If you provide the prefix argument @kbd{C-u} to these commands, then
-you will be prompted for the message range. This can be any valid MH
-range which can include messages, sequences (@pxref{Sequences}), and
-the abbreviations (described in the @command{mh}(1) man page):
-
address@hidden @samp
address@hidden <num1>-<num2>
-Indicates all messages in the range <num1> to <num2>, inclusive. The
-range must be nonempty.
address@hidden -------------------------
address@hidden <num>:N
address@hidden <num>:+N
address@hidden <num>:-N
-Up to N messages beginning with (or ending with) message num. Num may
-be any of the predefined symbols: first, prev, cur, next or last.
address@hidden -------------------------
address@hidden first:N
address@hidden prev:N
address@hidden next:N
address@hidden last:N
-The first, previous, next or last messages, if they exist.
address@hidden -------------------------
address@hidden all
-All of the messages.
address@hidden table
-
-For example, a range that shows all of these things is @samp{1 2 3
-5-10 last:5 unseen}.
-
address@hidden transient-mark-mode
-
-If the option @code{transient-mark-mode} is turned on and you set a

-On means interpret a number as a range (default: @samp{on}).
address@hidden vtable
-
address@hidden mh-interpret-number-as-range-flag
-
-Since one of the most frequent ranges used is @samp{last:N}, MH-E will
-interpret input such as @samp{200} as @samp{last:200} if the
address@hidden option is on (which is the
-default). If you need to scan just the message 200, then use the range
address@hidden:1} or @samp{200-200}.

-

address@hidden mh-default-folder-list
address@hidden
-The folder name associated with the first address found in the list
address@hidden is used. Each element in this list
-contains a @samp{Check Recipient} item. If this item is turned on,
-then the address is checked against the recipient instead of the

-
-The command @key{RET} (@code{mh-show}) displays the message that the
-cursor is on while @kbd{Mouse-2} (@code{mh-show-mouse}) displays the
-message that the mouse cursor is on. If the message is already
-displayed, it scrolls to the beginning of the message. Use @key{SPC}
-(@code{mh-page-msg}) and @key{BS} (@code{mh-previous-page}) to move
-forwards and backwards one page at a time through the message. You can
-give either of these commands a prefix argument that specifies the
-number of lines to scroll (such as @kbd{10 @key{SPC}}). The @key{SPC}
-command will also show the next undeleted message if it is used at the
-bottom of a message. MH-E normally hides a lot of the superfluous
-header fields that mailers add to a message, but if you wish to see
-all of them, use the command @kbd{,} (comma;
address@hidden).
-
address@hidden mh-show-maximum-size
-
-The option @code{mh-show-maximum-size} provides an opportunity to skip

address@hidden with a couple of caveats. Regular
-expressions are not allowed. Unique fields should have a @samp{:}

address@hidden mh-show-use-xface-flag
-
-MH-E can display the content of @samp{Face:}, @samp{X-Face:}, and
address@hidden:} header fields. If any of these fields occur in the
-header of your message, the sender's face will appear in the
address@hidden:} header field. If more than one of these fields appear,
-then the first field found in the order @samp{Face:}, @samp{X-Face:},
-and @samp{X-Image-URL:} will be used. The option
address@hidden is used to turn this feature on and off.
-This feature will be turned on by default if your system supports it.
-
-The first header field used, if present, is the Gnus-specific
address@hidden:} address@hidden @samp{Face:} field appeared in GNU
-Emacs 21 and XEmacs. For more information, see

-Next is the traditional @samp{X-Face:} header address@hidden
-display of this field requires the
address@hidden://ftp.cs.indiana.edu/pub/faces/compface/compface.tar.Z,
address@hidden program}. Recent versions of XEmacs have internal
-support for @samp{X-Face:} images. If your version of XEmacs does not,
-then you'll need both @command{uncompface} and the

-program from the @uref{http://www.imagemagick.org/, ImageMagick
-suite}.}. Of the three header fields this is the most efficient in
-terms of network usage since the image doesn't need to be transmitted
-with every single mail. The option @code{mh-fetch-x-image-url}
-controls the fetching of the @samp{X-Image-URL:} header field image
-with the following values:
-
address@hidden @samp
address@hidden Ask Before Fetching
-You are prompted before the image is fetched. MH-E will remember your
-reply and will either use the already fetched image the next time the
-same URL is encountered or silently skip it if you didn't fetch it the
-first time. This is a good setting.
address@hidden -------------------------
address@hidden Never Fetch
-Images are never fetched and only displayed if they are already
-present in the cache. This is the default.
address@hidden table
-
-There isn't a value of @samp{Always Fetch} for privacy and DOS (denial
-of service) reasons. For example, fetching a URL can tip off a spammer
-that you've read his email (which is why you shouldn't blindly answer
-yes if you've set this option to @samp{Ask Before Fetching}). Someone
-may also flood your network and fill your disk drive by sending a
-torrent of messages, each specifying a unique URL to a very large
-file.
-
address@hidden @file{.mhe-x-image-cache}
address@hidden files, @file{.mhe-x-image-cache}

address@hidden MH commands, @command{mhl}
address@hidden mh-mhl-format-file
-
-Normally MH-E takes care of displaying messages itself (rather than
-calling an MH program to do the work). If you'd rather have
address@hidden display the message (within MH-E), change the option
address@hidden from its default value of @samp{Use Default
-mhl Format (Printing Only)}. You can set this option to @samp{Use
-Default mhl Format} to get the same output as you would get if you ran
address@hidden from the shell. If you have a format file that you want
-MH-E to use, you can set this option to @samp{Specify an mhl Format
-File} and enter the name of your format file (@command{mhl}(1) or
-section @address@hidden/shomes.html#Usisho, Using mhl} in
-the MH book tells you how to write one). Your format file should
-specify a non-zero value for @samp{overflowoffset} to allow MH-E to
-parse the header. Note that @command{mhl} is always used for printing
-and forwarding; in this case, the value of @code{mh-mhl-format-file}
-is consulted if you have specified a format file.

address@hidden citations, highlighting
address@hidden highlighting citations
address@hidden mh-highlight-citation-style
-
-If the sender of the message has cited other messages in his message,
-then MH-E will highlight these citations to emphasize the sender's
-actual response. The option @code{mh-highlight-citation-style} can be
-customized to change the highlighting style. The @samp{Multicolor}
-method uses a different color for each indentation while the
address@hidden method highlights all citations in red. To disable

-
-It is a long standing custom to inject body language using a
-cornucopia of punctuation, also known as the @dfn{smileys}. MH-E can
-render these as graphical widgets if the option
address@hidden is turned on, which it is by default.
-Smileys include patterns such as :-) and ;-). Similarly, a few
-typesetting features are indicated in ASCII text with certain
-characters. If your terminal supports it, MH-E can render these
-typesetting directives naturally if the option
address@hidden is turned on, which it is by
-default. For example, _underline_ will be
address@hidden
address@hidden
-<u>underlined</u>,
address@hidden html
address@hidden ifhtml
address@hidden
-underlined,
address@hidden ifnothtml
-*bold* will appear in @b{bold}, /italics/ will appear in @i{italics},
-and so on. See the option @code{gnus-emphasis-alist} for the whole
-list. Both of these options are disabled if the option
address@hidden is turned off. @xref{Viewing Attachments}.
-
address@hidden signature separator
address@hidden vCard
address@hidden mh-show-signature
-
-MH-E normally renders signatures and vCards in italics so that the
-body of the message stands out more. MH-E depends on the presence of
-the @dfn{signature separator} (@code{"-- "}) to do this. You can also
-customize the face @code{mh-show-signature} so the appearance of the
-signature block is more to your liking.
-
address@hidden mh-show-hook
address@hidden mh-show-mode-hook
-
-Two hooks can be used to control how messages are displayed. The first
-hook, @code{mh-show-mode-hook}, is called early on in the process of
-the message display. It is usually used to perform some action on the
-message's content. The second hook, @code{mh-show-hook}, is the last
-thing called after messages are displayed. It's used to affect the
-behavior of MH-E in general or when @code{mh-show-mode-hook} is too
-early.

-MH-E can handle attachments as well if the Gnus @samp{mm-decode}
-package is present. If so, the option @code{mh-decode-mime-flag} will
-be on. Otherwise, you'll see the @sc{mime} body parts rather than text
-or attachments. There isn't much point in turning off the option
address@hidden; however, you can inspect it if it appears
-that the body parts are not being interpreted correctly or toggle it
-with the command @kbd{;} (semicolon;
address@hidden) to view the raw message. This
-option also controls the display of quoted-printable messages and

-
address@hidden buttons
-
-Attachments in MH-E are indicated by @dfn{buttons} like this:
-

address@hidden mh-next-button
address@hidden mh-press-button
address@hidden mh-prev-button
address@hidden @key{RET}
address@hidden K @key{TAB}
address@hidden K address@hidden
address@hidden Mouse-1
address@hidden Mouse-2
-
-To view the contents of the button, use either @kbd{Mouse-1} or
address@hidden on the button or @key{RET} (@code{mh-press-button}) when
-the cursor is over the button. This command is a toggle so if you use
-it again on the same attachment, it is hidden. If Emacs does not know
-how to display the attachment, then Emacs offers to save the
-attachment in a file. To move the cursor to the next button, use the
-command @kbd{K @key{TAB}} (@code{mh-next-button}). If the end of the
-buffer is reached then the search wraps over to the start of the
-buffer. To move the cursor to the previous button, use the command
address@hidden address@hidden (@code{mh-prev-button}). If the beginning of the
-buffer is reached then the search wraps over to the end of the buffer.
-

address@hidden viewing attachments
address@hidden mh-folder-toggle-mime-part

-
-Another way to view the contents of a button is to use the command
address@hidden v} (@code{mh-folder-toggle-mime-part}). This command displays
-(or hides) the attachment associated with the button under the cursor.
-If the cursor is not located over a button, then the cursor first
-moves to the next button, wrapping to the beginning of the message if
-necessary. This command has the advantage over the previous commands
-of working from the MH-Folder buffer. You can also provide a numeric
-prefix argument (as in @kbd{4 K v}) to view the attachment labeled
-with that number. If Emacs does not know how to display the
-attachment, then Emacs offers to save the attachment in a file.

-
-If Emacs does not know how to view an attachment, you could save it
-into a file and then run some program to open it. It is easier,
-however, to launch the program directly from MH-E with the command
address@hidden e} (@code{mh-display-with-external-viewer}). While you'll most
-likely use this to view spreadsheets and documents, it is also useful
-to use your browser to view HTML attachments with higher fidelity than
-what Emacs can provide. This command displays the attachment
-associated with the button under the cursor. If the cursor is not
-located over a button, then the cursor first moves to the next button,
-wrapping to the beginning of the message if necessary. You can provide
-a numeric prefix argument (as in @kbd{4 K e}) to view the attachment
-labeled with that number. This command tries to provide a reasonable
-default for the viewer by calling the Emacs function
address@hidden This function usually reads the file
address@hidden/etc/mailcap}.

address@hidden saving attachments
address@hidden mh-folder-save-mime-part

-
-Use the command @kbd{K o} (@code{mh-folder-save-mime-part}) to save
-attachments (the mnemonic is ``output''). This command saves the
-attachment associated with the button under the cursor. If the cursor
-is not located over a button, then the cursor first moves to the next
-button, wrapping to the beginning of the message if necessary. You can
-also provide a numeric prefix argument (as in @kbd{3 K o}) to save the
-attachment labeled with that number. This command prompts you for a

-directory specified by the option
address@hidden unless you use a prefix
-argument (as in @kbd{C-u K a}) in which case you are prompted for the
-directory. These directories may be superseded by MH profile
-components, since this function calls on @command{mhstore}
-(@command{mhn}) to do the work.
-
address@hidden mh-mime-save-parts-default-directory
-
-The default value for the option
address@hidden is @samp{Prompt Always} so
-that you are always prompted for the directory in which to save the
-attachments. However, if you usually use the same directory within a
-session, then you can set this option to @samp{Prompt the First Time}
-to avoid the prompt each time. you can make this directory permanent

-
-The sender can request that attachments should be viewed inline so
-that they do not really appear like an attachment at all to the
-reader. Most of the time, this is desirable, so by default MH-E
-suppresses the buttons for inline attachments. On the other hand, you
-may receive code or HTML which the sender has added to his message as
-inline attachments so that you can read them in MH-E. In this case, it
-is useful to see the buttons so that you know you don't have to cut
-and paste the code into a file; you can simply save the attachment. If
-you want to make the buttons visible for inline attachments, you can
-use the command @kbd{K t} (@code{mh-toggle-mime-buttons}) to toggle
-the visibility of these buttons. You can turn on these buttons
-permanently by turning on the option
address@hidden
-
-MH-E cannot display all attachments inline however. It can display
-text (including @sc{html}) and images.

-
-Some older mail programs do not insert the needed
address@hidden plumbing is the @samp{Content-Disposition:}
-header field.} to tell MH-E whether to display the attachments inline
-or not. If this is the case, MH-E will display these images inline if
-they are smaller than the window. However, you might want to allow
-larger images to be displayed inline. To do this, you can change the
-options @code{mh-max-inline-image-width} and
address@hidden from their default value of zero to
-a large number. The size of your screen is a good choice for these
-numbers.

address@hidden mh-display-buttons-for-alternatives-flag
-
-Sometimes, a mail program will produce multiple alternatives of an
-attachment in increasing degree of faithfulness to the original
-content. By default, only the preferred alternative is displayed. If
-the option @code{mh-display-buttons-for-alternatives-flag} is on, then
-the preferred part is shown inline and buttons are shown for each of
-the other alternatives.
-
address@hidden mm-discouraged-alternatives
-
-Many people prefer to see the @samp{text/plain} alternative rather
-than the @samp{text/html} alternative. To do this in MH-E, customize
-the option @code{mm-discouraged-alternatives}, and add
address@hidden/html}. The next best alternative, if any, will be shown.
-
address@hidden K i
address@hidden mh-folder-inline-mime-part
-
-You can view the raw contents of an attachment with the command @kbd{K
-i} (@code{mh-folder-inline-mime-part}). This command displays (or
-hides) the contents of the attachment associated with the button under
-the cursor verbatim. If the cursor is not located over a button, then
-the cursor first moves to the next button, wrapping to the beginning
-of the message if necessary. You can also provide a numeric prefix

address@hidden @samp{w3m} 7
-The @samp{w3m} browser requires an external program. It's quick,
-produces pretty nice output, and best of all, it's the only browser
-that highlights links. These can be clicked with @kbd{Mouse-2} to view
-the content of the link in @samp{w3m} or with @kbd{S-Mouse-2} to view
-the content of the link in an external browser. The @samp{w3m} browser
-handles tables well and actually respects the table's width parameter
-(which can cause text to wrap if the author didn't anticipate that the
-page would be viewed in Emacs).
address@hidden -------------------------
address@hidden browser, @samp{w3m-standalone}
address@hidden @samp{w3m-standalone}
address@hidden @samp{w3m-standalone} 3
-This browser, along with @samp{nil} for the external browser, are the
-only choices that work without having to download a separate lisp
-package or external program. This browser is quick, but does not show
-links. It handles simple tables but some tables get rendered much
-wider than the Emacs frame. This browser was the only one not to
-handle the escape @samp{–} (it printed a @samp{?}), but it did
-render @samp{®}.
address@hidden -------------------------
address@hidden browser, @samp{links}
address@hidden @samp{links}
address@hidden @samp{links} 1
-The @samp{links} browser requires an external program. It's quick, and
-produces nicer output than @samp{lynx} on single column mails in
-tables. However, it doesn't show links and it doesn't do as nice a job
-on multi-column tables as some lines wrap. At least it fits in 80
-columns and thus seems better than @samp{w3} and
address@hidden Converts escapes such as @samp{®} to (R).
address@hidden -------------------------
address@hidden browser, @samp{lynx}
address@hidden @samp{lynx}
address@hidden @samp{lynx} 1
-The @samp{lynx} browser requires an external program. It's quick and

-seem to do multi-column tables which makes output much cleaner. It
-centers the output and wraps long lines more than most. Handles
address@hidden®}.
address@hidden -------------------------
address@hidden @samp{nil} 1
-This choice obviously requires an external browser. Like
address@hidden, it works out of the box. With this setting,
-HTML messages have a button for the body part which you can view with
address@hidden v} (@code{mh-folder-toggle-mime-part}).
address@hidden -------------------------
address@hidden browser, @samp{w3}
address@hidden @samp{w3}
address@hidden @samp{w3} 0
-This choice does not require an external program as all of the
-rendering is done in lisp. You do need to get the package separately.
-This browser is @strong{slow}, and doesn't appear to have been updated
-since 2001 and the author hasn't responded to my emails. It displays
-unknown tags instead of hiding them, so you get to see all the
-Microsoft crap in certain messages. Tends to make multi-column tables
-wider than even a full-screen Emacs can handle. Like @samp{w3m}, you
-can follow links, but you have to find them first as they are not
-highlighted. Performs well on single-column tables and handles escapes
-such as @samp{®}.
address@hidden -------------------------
address@hidden browser, @samp{html2text}
address@hidden @samp{html2text}
address@hidden @samp{html2text} 0
-The @samp{html2text} browser requires an external program. I noticed
-that it can do some nasty things with simple HTML mails (like filling
-the entire message as if it were one paragraph, including signature).
-On another message, it displayed half of the HTML tags for some
-reason.

-and messages aren't displayed. Then use @kbd{d} (@pxref{Reading Mail})
-to quickly delete messages that you don't want to read (based on the

-You can read encrypted or signed PGP or GPG messages with
address@hidden feature depends on post-5.10 versions of Gnus.
address@hidden Security with OpenPGP} is documented in
address@hidden://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3156.txt, RFC 3156}. However,
-MH-E can also decrypt old-style PGP messages that are not in MIME
-format.}. This section assumes that you already have a good
-understanding of GPG and have set up your keys appropriately.
-
-If someone sends you a signed message, here is what you'll see:

-If the key for the given signature is not in your keychain, you'll be
-given the opportunity to fetch the key from a key server and verify

address@hidden in the current version, the validation
-process doesn't display a message so it appears that MH-E has hung. We
-hope that this will be fixed in the future.}.

address@hidden mh-ps-print-msg
address@hidden mh-ps-print-msg-file
address@hidden P f
address@hidden P p
address@hidden mh-lpr-command-format
address@hidden mh-print-background-flag
-
-To print messages in MH-E, use the command @kbd{P p}
-(@code{mh-ps-print-msg}). You can print all the messages in a range
-(as in @kbd{C-u P p 1 3 5-7 last:5 frombob @key{RET}},
address@hidden). You can also send the output to a file with @kbd{P f}
-(@code{mh-ps-print-msg-file}). This command will print inline text
-attachments but will not decrypt messages. However, when a message is
-displayed in an MH-Show buffer, then that buffer is used verbatim for
-printing with the caveat that only text attachments, if opened inline,
-are printed. Therefore, encrypted messages can be printed by showing
-and decrypting them first. The commands @kbd{P p} and @kbd{P f} do not
-use the options @code{mh-lpr-command-format} or
address@hidden, described below.
-
address@hidden mh-ps-print-toggle-color
address@hidden P C
address@hidden ps-print-color-p
-
-Colors are emulated on black-and-white printers with shades of gray.
-This might produce illegible output, even if your screen colors only
-use shades of gray. If this is the case, try using the command @kbd{P
-C} (@code{mh-ps-print-toggle-color}) to toggle between color, no
-color, and a black and white representation of the colors and see
-which works best. You change this setting permanently by customizing
-the option @code{ps-print-color-p}.
-
address@hidden mh-ps-print-toggle-faces
address@hidden P F
-
-Another related function is the command @kbd{P F}
-(@code{mh-ps-print-toggle-faces}). This command toggles between using
-faces and not. When faces are enabled, the printed message will look
-very similar to the message in the MH-Show buffer.
-
address@hidden ps-print package
address@hidden Emacs, packages, ps-print
-
-MH-E uses the @samp{ps-print} package to do the printing, so you can
-customize the printing further by going to the @samp{ps-print}
-customization group.
-
address@hidden @command{lpr}
address@hidden @command{mhl}
address@hidden MH commands, @command{mhl}
address@hidden Unix commands, @command{lpr}
address@hidden mh-print-msg
address@hidden P l
-
-An alternative to using the @samp{ps-print} package is the command
address@hidden l} (@code{mh-print-msg}) (the @i{l} is for @i{l}ine printer or
address@hidden). You can print all the messages in a range. The message is
-formatted with @address@hidden the section
address@hidden@value{MH-BOOK-HOME}/shomes.html#Usisho, Using mhl} in the MH
-book.} and printed with the @command{lpr} command.
-
address@hidden P f
address@hidden P l
address@hidden P p
address@hidden mh-lpr-command-format
address@hidden mh-print-background-flag
-
-The command @kbd{P l} uses two options. The option
address@hidden contains the Unix command line which
-performs the actual printing. The string can contain one escape,
address@hidden, which is replaced by the name of the folder and the message
-number and is useful for print job names. The default setting is
address@hidden"lpr -J '%s'"}. I use @code{"mpage -h'%s' -b Letter -H1of -mlrtb
--P"} which produces a nice header and adds a bit of margin so the text
-fits within my printer's margins. Normally messages are printed in the
-foreground. If this is slow on your system, you may elect to turn on
-the option @code{mh-print-background-flag} to print in the background.
-If you do this, do not delete the message until it is printed or else
-the output may be truncated. These options are not used by the
-commands @kbd{P p} or @kbd{P f}.

address@hidden files

address@hidden mh-refile-or-write-again
address@hidden mh-write-msg-to-file
address@hidden >
address@hidden !
-
-MH-E does offer a couple of commands that are not a part of address@hidden The
-first one, @kbd{>} (@code{mh-write-msg-to-file}), writes a message to
-a file. You are prompted for the filename. If the file already exists,
-the message is appended to it. You can also write the message to the
-file without the header by specifying a prefix argument (such as
address@hidden > /tmp/foobar @key{RET}}). Subsequent writes to the same file
-can be made with the command @kbd{!}
-(@code{mh-refile-or-write-again}).
-
address@hidden mh-pipe-msg
address@hidden |
address@hidden l
-
-You can also pipe the message through a Unix shell command with the
-command @kbd{|} (@code{mh-pipe-msg}). You are prompted for the Unix
-command through which you wish to run your message. If you give a
-prefix argument to this command, the message header is included in the
-text passed to the command (the contrived example @kbd{C-u | lpr}
-would be done with the @kbd{l} command instead).

address@hidden mh-store-msg
address@hidden X s
address@hidden mh-store-default-directory
-
-If the message is a shell archive @command{shar} or has been run
-through @command{uuencode} use @kbd{X s} (@code{mh-store-msg}) to
-extract the body of the message. The default directory for extraction
-is the current directory; however, you have a chance to specify a
-different extraction directory. The next time you use this command,
-the default directory is the last directory you used. If you would
-like to change the initial default directory, customize the option
address@hidden, change the value from
address@hidden to @samp{Directory}, and then enter the name of the
-directory for storing the content of these messages.
-
address@hidden mh-store-buffer
address@hidden @key{RET}
address@hidden X s
-
-By the way, @kbd{X s} calls the Emacs Lisp function
address@hidden I mention this because you can use it directly
-if you're editing a buffer that contains a file that has been run
-through @command{uuencode} or @command{shar}. For example, you can
-extract the contents of the current buffer in your home directory by
-typing @kbd{M-x mh-store-buffer @key{RET} ~ @key{RET}}.

-
-To move on to the next message, use the command @kbd{n}
-(@code{mh-next-undeleted-msg}); use @kbd{p}
-(@code{mh-previous-undeleted-msg}) to read the previous message. To
-move to the next unread message, use @kbd{M-n}
-(@code{mh-next-unread-msg}); use @kbd{M-p}
-(@code{mh-previous-unread-msg}) to move to the previous unread
-message. These commands can be given a prefix argument to specify how
-many messages to skip (for example, @kbd{5 n}). You can also move to a
-specific message with @kbd{g} (@code{mh-goto-msg}). You can enter the
-message number either before or after typing @kbd{g}. In the latter
-case, Emacs prompts you. Finally, you can go to the first or last
-message with @kbd{M-<} (@code{mh-first-msg}) and @kbd{M->}
-(@code{mh-last-msg}) respectively.

-
-You can also use the Emacs commands @kbd{C-p} (@code{previous-line})
-and @kbd{C-n} (@code{next-line}) to move up and down the scan lines in
-the MH-Folder window. These commands can be used in conjunction with
address@hidden to look at deleted or refiled messages.
-
address@hidden deleting messages
address@hidden mh-delete-msg
address@hidden d
address@hidden n
address@hidden p
-
-To mark a message for deletion, use the command @kbd{d}
-(@code{mh-delete-msg}). A @samp{D} is placed by the message in the
-scan window, and the next undeleted message is displayed. If the
-previous command had been @kbd{p}, then the next message displayed is
-the first undeleted message previous to the message just deleted. Use
address@hidden to force subsequent @kbd{d} commands to move forward to the
-next undeleted message after deleting the message under the cursor.
-You may also specify a range (for example, @kbd{C-u d 1 3 5-7 last:5
-frombob @key{RET}}, @pxref{Ranges}).
-
address@hidden mh-delete-msg-no-motion
address@hidden C-d
-
-The command @kbd{C-d} (@code{mh-delete-msg-no-motion}) marks the
-message (or messages in range) for deletion but leaves the cursor at
-the current message in case you wish to perform other operations on
-the message.
-
address@hidden mh-delete-subject
address@hidden mh-delete-subject-or-thread
address@hidden mh-thread-delete
address@hidden mh-undo
address@hidden k
address@hidden T d
address@hidden u
-
-And to delete more messages faster, you can use @kbd{k}
-(@code{mh-delete-subject-or-thread}) to delete all the messages with
-the same subject as the current message. This command puts these
-messages in a sequence named @samp{subject}. You can undo this action
-by using @kbd{u} (@code{mh-undo}) with a prefix argument and then
-specifying the @samp{subject} sequence. However, if the buffer is
-displaying a threaded view of the folder then @kbd{k} behaves like
address@hidden d} (@code{mh-thread-delete}). @xref{Threading}.
-
address@hidden mh-execute-commands
address@hidden x
-
-However you mark a message for deletion, the command @kbd{x}
-(@code{mh-execute-commands}) actually carries out the deletion
-(@pxref{Folders}).
-
address@hidden mh-delete-msg-hook
-
-The hook @code{mh-delete-msg-hook} is called after you mark a message
-for deletion. For example, a past maintainer of MH-E used this once
-when he kept statistics on his mail usage.

address@hidden Miscellaneous Commands and Options
-
-This section contains a few more miscellaneous commands and options.
-
address@hidden editing message
address@hidden mh-modify
address@hidden M
-
-There are times when you need to edit a message. For example, you may
-need to fix a broken Content-Type header field. You can do this with
-the command @kbd{M} (@code{mh-modify}). It displays the raw message in
-an editable buffer. When you are done editing, save and kill the
-buffer as you would any other.
-
address@hidden mh-kill-folder
address@hidden mh-pack-folder
address@hidden mh-do-not-confirm-flag
-
-Commands such as @code{mh-pack-folder} prompt to confirm whether to
-process outstanding moves and deletes or not before continuing.
-Turning on the option @code{mh-do-not-confirm-flag} means that these
-actions will be performed---which is usually desired but cannot be
-retracted---without address@hidden previous versions of MH-E,
-this option suppressed the confirmation in @code{mh-kill-folder}.
-Since this kept most users from setting this option,
address@hidden was modified in version 6.0 to always ask for
-confirmation subject to @code{mh-kill-folder-suppress-prompt-hook}.
address@hidden
-
address@hidden MH-Folder mode
address@hidden modes, MH-Folder
address@hidden mh-summary-height
-
-The option @code{mh-summary-height} controls the number of scan lines
-displayed in the MH-Folder window, including the mode line. The
-default value of this option is @samp{Automatic} which means that the
-MH-Folder buffer will maintain the same proportional size if the frame
-is resized. If you'd prefer a fixed height, then choose the
address@hidden Size} option and enter the number of lines you'd like to
-see.
-
address@hidden mh-bury-show-buffer-flag
-
-Normally the buffer for displaying messages is buried at the bottom at
-the buffer stack. You may wish to disable this feature by turning off
-the option @code{mh-bury-show-buffer-flag}. One advantage of not
-burying the show buffer is that one can delete the show buffer more
-easily in an electric buffer list because of its proximity to its
-associated MH-Folder buffer. Try running @kbd{M-x
-electric-buffer-list} to see what I mean.

-another folder, use the command @kbd{o} (@code{mh-refile-msg})
-(mnemonic: ``output''). You are prompted for the folder name
-(@pxref{Folder Selection}). Note that this command can also be used to
-create folders. If you specify a folder that does not exist, you will
-be prompted to create it. The hook @code{mh-refile-msg-hook} is called
-after a message is marked to be refiled.
-
address@hidden mh-write-msg-to-file

-
-If you are refiling several messages into the same folder, you can use
-the command @kbd{!} (@code{mh-refile-or-write-again}) to repeat the
-last refile or write (for the description of @kbd{>}
-(@code{mh-write-msg-to-file}), @pxref{Files and Pipes}). You can use a

-If you've deleted a message or refiled it, but changed your mind, you
-can cancel the action before you've executed it. Use @kbd{u}
-(@code{mh-undo}) to undo a refile on or deletion of a single message.
-You can also undo refiles and deletes for messages that are found in a
-given range (@pxref{Ranges}).
-
address@hidden mh-undo-folder

-Alternatively, you can use @kbd{F u} (@code{mh-undo-folder}) to undo
-all refiles and deletes in the current folder.
-

-
-If you've marked messages to be deleted or refiled and you want to go

-(@code{mh-execute-commands}). Many MH-E commands that may affect the
-numbering of the messages (such as @kbd{F r} or @kbd{F p}) will ask if

address@hidden for you or undo the pending refiles and deletes.
-

-
-The command @kbd{x} runs @code{mh-before-commands-processed-hook}

address@hidden after the commands are
-processed. Variables that are useful with the former hook include
address@hidden and @code{mh-refile-list} which can be used to

-to @command{refile}(1)). Like the command @kbd{o}, this command
-prompts you for the name of the target folder and you can specify a

-alone. Setting @code{mh-recenter-summary-flag} to a address@hidden
-value causes the toggle to display as many scan lines as possible,

-
-When you want to read the messages that you have refiled into folders,
-use the command @kbd{F v} (@code{mh-visit-folder}) to visit the
-folder. You are prompted for the folder name. The folder buffer will
-show just unseen messages if there are any; otherwise, it will show
-all the messages in the buffer as long there are fewer than
address@hidden messages. If there are more, then you are
-prompted for a range of messages to scan. You can provide a prefix
-argument in order to specify a range of messages to show when you
-visit the folder (@pxref{Ranges}). In this case, regions are not used
-to specify the range and @code{mh-large-folder} is ignored. Note that
-this command can also be used to create folders. If you specify a
-folder that does not exist, you will be prompted to create it.

address@hidden p} (@code{mh-pack-folder}), to pack a folder, removing gaps
-from the numbering sequence; and @kbd{F r} (@code{mh-rescan-folder}),
-to rescan the folder, which is useful to grab all messages in your
address@hidden after processing your new mail for the first time. If
-you don't want to rescan the entire folder, the commands @kbd{F r} or
address@hidden p} will accept a range (@pxref{Ranges}).
-

-By default, operations on folders work only one level at a time. Set

address@hidden mh-kill-folder-suppress-prompt-hooks
-
-The hook @code{mh-kill-folder-suppress-prompt-hooks} is an abnormal
-hook run at the beginning of the command @kbd{k}. The hook functions
-are called with no arguments and should return a non-nil value to
-suppress the normal prompt when you remove a folder. This is useful
-for folders that are easily regenerated. The default value of
address@hidden suppresses the prompt on folders generated by
-searching.

-current MH-E folder and restores the buffers that were present when
-you first ran @kbd{M-x mh-rmail}. It also removes any MH-E working
-buffers whose name begins with @samp{ *mh-} or @samp{*MH-E }
-(@pxref{Miscellaneous}). You can later restore your MH-E session by

-
-Because the header is part of the message, you can edit the header
-fields as you wish. However, several convenience commands exist to
-help you create and edit them. For example, the command @kbd{C-c C-f
-C-t} (@code{mh-to-field}; alternatively, @kbd{C-c C-f t}) moves the
-cursor to the @samp{To:} header field, creating it if necessary. The
-commands for moving to the @samp{Cc:}, @samp{Subject:}, @samp{From:},
address@hidden:}, @samp{Mail-Reply-To:}, @samp{Mail-Followup-To},
address@hidden:}, and @samp{Dcc:} header fields are similar.

address@hidden mh-letter-header-field
-
-Within the header of the message, the address@hidden @key{TAB}
-(@code{mh-letter-next-header-field-or-indent}) moves between fields
-that are highlighted with the face @code{mh-letter-header-field},
-skipping those fields listed in
address@hidden After the last field, this
-command then moves point to the message body before cycling back to
-the first field. If point is already past the first line of the
-message body, then this command indents by calling
address@hidden with the given prefix argument. The command
address@hidden@key{TAB}} (@code{mh-letter-previous-header-field}) moves
-backwards between the fields and cycles to the body of the message
-after the first field. Unlike the command @key{TAB}, it will always
-take point to the last field from anywhere in the body.

-
-If the field contains addresses (for example, @samp{To:} or
address@hidden:}) or folders (for example, @samp{Fcc:}) then the command
address@hidden@key{TAB}} (@code{mh-letter-complete}) will provide alias
-completion (@pxref{Aliases}). In the body of the message,
address@hidden@key{TAB}} runs @code{mh-letter-complete-function} instead,
-which is set to @samp{'ispell-complete-word} by default. The command
address@hidden@key{TAB}} (@code{mh-letter-complete}) takes a prefix argument
-that is passed to the @code{mh-letter-complete-function}. In addition,
-turn on the option @code{mh-compose-space-does-completion-flag} to use
-the command @key{SPC} (@code{mh-letter-complete-or-space}) to perform
-completion in the header as well; use a prefix argument to specify
-more than one space. Addresses are separated by a comma; when you
-press the comma, the command @code{mh-letter-confirm-address} flashes
-the alias expansion in the minibuffer if
address@hidden is turned on.
-
address@hidden XXX Document the replacement for the inaccessible 'long argument.
-
address@hidden mh-letter-toggle-header-field-display
address@hidden C-c C-t
-
-Use the command @kbd{C-c C-t}
address@hidden to display truncated
-header fields. This command is a toggle so entering it again will hide
-the field. This command takes a prefix argument: if negative then the
-field is hidden, if positive then the field is displayed (for example,
address@hidden C-c C-t}).
-
-Be sure to leave a row of dashes or a blank line between the header
-and the body of the message.
-
address@hidden mh-letter-fill-column
-
-The body of the message is edited as you would edit any Emacs buffer
-although there are a few commands and options to assist you. You can
-change the fill column in MH-Letter mode with the option
address@hidden By default, this option is 72 to allow
-others to quote your message without line wrapping.

address@hidden M-q
address@hidden mh-ins-buf-prefix
-
-You'll often include messages that were sent from user agents that
-haven't yet realized that paragraphs consist of more than a single
-line. This makes for long lines that wrap in an ugly fashion. You'll
-find that @kbd{M-q} (@code{fill-paragraph}) works well even on these
-quoted messages, even if they are nested, just as long as all of the
-quotes match the value of @code{mh-ins-buf-prefix} (@pxref{Inserting
-Letter}). For example, let's assume you have the following in your
-draft:
-
address@hidden
address@hidden
-> Hopefully this gives you an idea of what I'm currently doing. I'm \
-not sure yet whether I'm completely satisfied with my setup, but \
-it's worked okay for me so far.
address@hidden group
address@hidden smallexample
-
-Running @kbd{M-q} on this paragraph produces:
-
address@hidden
address@hidden
-> Hopefully this gives you an idea of what I'm currently doing. I'm not
-> sure yet whether I'm completely satisfied with my setup, but it's
-> worked okay for me so far.

-
address@hidden mh-open-line
address@hidden open-line
address@hidden C-c C-o
address@hidden C-o
-
-The command @kbd{C-c C-o} (@code{mh-open-line}) is similar to the
-command @kbd{C-o} (@code{open-line}) in that it inserts a newline
-after point. It differs in that it also inserts the right number of
-quoting characters and spaces so that the next line begins in the same
-column as it was. This is useful when breaking up paragraphs in
-replies. For example, if this command was used when point was after
-the first period in the paragraph above, the result would be this:
-
address@hidden
address@hidden
-> Hopefully this gives you an idea of what I'm currently doing.
-
-> I'm not
-> sure yet whether I'm completely satisfied with my setup, but it's
-> worked okay for me so far.

address@hidden mail-citation-hook
address@hidden mh-ins-buf-prefix
address@hidden mh-yank-behavior
-
-The prefix @code{"> "} is the default setting for the option
address@hidden I suggest that you not modify this option
-since it is used by many mailers and news readers: messages are far
-easier to read if several included messages have all been indented by
-the same string. This prefix is not inserted if you use one of the
-supercite flavors of @code{mh-yank-behavior} or you have added a
address@hidden as described below.
-

-Use @samp{Body} to yank just the body without the header. To yank only
-the portion of the message following the point, set this option to
address@hidden Point}.
-
-Choose @samp{Invoke address@hidden@emph{Supercite} is a
-full-bodied, full-featured, citation package that comes standard with

-
address@hidden mh-extract-from-attribution-verb
-
-If the @samp{Body With Attribution} setting is used, then the message
-minus the header is yanked and a simple attribution line is added at
-the top using the value of the option
address@hidden This is the default.
-
address@hidden C-c C-y
address@hidden mh-delete-yanked-msg-window-flag
-
-If the @samp{Invoke supercite} or @samp{Body With Attribution}
-settings are used, the @samp{-noformat} argument is passed to the
address@hidden program to override a @samp{-filter} or @samp{-format}
-argument. These settings also have @samp{Automatically} variants that
-perform the action automatically when you reply so that you don't need
-to use @kbd{C-c C-y} at all. Note that this automatic action is only
-performed if the show buffer matches the message being replied to.
-People who use the automatic variants tend to turn on the option
address@hidden as well so that the show
-window is never displayed.
-
address@hidden mh-yank-behavior
-
-If the show buffer has a region, the option @code{mh-yank-behavior} is
-ignored unless its value is one of @samp{Attribution} variants in
-which case the attribution is added to the yanked region.

address@hidden mail-citation-hook

address@hidden mh-yank-behavior
-
-If this isn't enough, you can gain full control over the appearance of
-the included text by setting @code{mail-citation-hook} to a function
-that modifies it. This hook is ignored if the option
address@hidden is set to one of the supercite flavors.
-Otherwise, this option controls how much of the message is passed to
-the hook. The function can find the citation between point and mark
-and it should leave point and mark around the modified citation text
-for the next hook function. The standard prefix
address@hidden is not added if this hook is set.

-
-Messages can be inserted with @kbd{C-c C-i} (@code{mh-insert-letter}).
-This command prompts you for the folder and message number, which
-defaults to the current message in that folder. It then inserts the
-messages, indented by @code{mh-ins-buf-prefix} (@samp{> }) unless
address@hidden is set to one of the supercite flavors in
-which case supercite is used to format the message. Certain
-undesirable header fields (see
address@hidden) are removed before
-insertion.
-
-If given a prefix argument (like @kbd{C-u C-c C-i}), the header is
-left intact, the message is not indented, and @samp{> } is not
-inserted before each line. This command leaves the mark before the

-
-The option @code{mh-signature-file-name} may also be a symbol, in
-which case that function is called. You may not want a signature
-separator to be added for you; instead you may want to insert one
-yourself. Options that you may find useful to do this include
address@hidden (when inserting a signature separator)
-and @code{mh-signature-separator-regexp} (for finding said separator).
-The function @code{mh-signature-separator-p}, which reports @code{t}
-if the buffer contains a separator, may be useful as well.
-
address@hidden signature separator
address@hidden mh-signature-separator-flag
-
-A signature separator (@code{"-- "}) will be added if the signature
-block does not contain one and @code{mh-signature-separator-flag} is
-on. It is not recommended that you change this option since various
-mail user agents, including MH-E, use the separator to present the
-signature differently, and to suppress the signature when replying or
-yanking a letter into a draft.
-
address@hidden mh-insert-signature-hook
address@hidden mh-signature-file-name
-
-The hook @code{mh-insert-signature-hook} is run after the signature is

address@hidden multimedia mail
-
-MH-E has the capability to create multimedia messages. It uses the
address@hidden (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions)
address@hidden@sc{mime} is defined in
address@hidden://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2045.txt, RFC 2045}.} The
address@hidden protocol allows you to incorporate images, sound, video,
-binary files, and even commands that fetch a file with @samp{ftp} when
-your recipient reads the message!
-
address@hidden C-c C-m
-
-If you were to create a multimedia message with plain MH commands, you
-would insert @command{mhbuild} or @command{mhn} directives (henceforth
-called @dfn{MH-style directives} into your draft and use the
address@hidden command in nmh or @command{mhn} command in MH and
-GNU mailutils to expand them. MH-E works in much the same way,
-although it provides a handful of commands prefixed with @kbd{C-c C-m}
-to insert the directives so you don't need to remember the syntax of
-them. Remember: you can always add MH-style directives by
address@hidden the section
address@hidden@value{MH-BOOK-HOME}/usimim.html#SeMIMa, Sending MIME Mail} in

-
address@hidden media types
address@hidden MIME, media types
-
-The MH-E @sc{mime} commands require a @dfn{media type} for each body
-part or attachment. For example, a PDF document is of type
address@hidden/pdf} and an HTML document is of type
address@hidden/html}. Some commands fill in the media type for you,
-whereas others require you to enter one.
-
address@hidden @command{file}
address@hidden @file{/etc/mime.types}
address@hidden files, @file{/etc/mime.types}
address@hidden Unix commands, @command{file}
address@hidden mailcap-mime-types
-
-In the cases where MH-E can do so, it will determine the media type
-automatically. It uses the @command{file} command to do this. Failing
-that, the Emacs function @code{mailcap-mime-types} is used to provide
-a list from which to choose. This function usually reads the file
address@hidden/etc/mime.types}.
-
-Whether the media type is chosen automatically, or you choose it from
-a list, use the type that seems to match best the file that you are
-including. In the case of binaries, the media type
address@hidden/x-executable} can be useful. If you can't find an
-appropriate media type, use @samp{text/plain} for text messages and
address@hidden/octet-stream} for everything else.
-
address@hidden content description
address@hidden MIME, content description
-
-You are also sometimes asked for a @dfn{content description}. This is
-simply an optional brief phrase, in your own words, that describes the
-object. If you don't care to enter a content description, just press
-return and none will be included; however, a reader may skip over
-multimedia fields unless the content description is compelling.
-
-You can also create your own @sc{mime} body parts. In the following
-example, I describe how you can create and edit a @samp{text/enriched}
-body part to liven up your plain text messages with boldface,
-underlining, and italics. I include an Emacs function which inserts
-enriched text tags.

address@hidden (@pxref{Composing}), and use the
address@hidden (@code{minibuffer-complete}) command to complete aliases
-(and optionally local logins) when prompted for the recipients. Turn
-on the option @code{mh-alias-expand-aliases-flag} if you want these
-aliases to be expanded to their respective addresses in the draft.
-
address@hidden mh-letter-complete

address@hidden @key{SPC}
address@hidden address@hidden
-
-Otherwise, you can complete aliases in the header of the draft with
address@hidden@key{TAB}} (@code{mh-letter-complete}) or @key{SPC}
-(@code{mh-letter-complete-or-space}).
-
address@hidden mh-alias-completion-ignore-case-flag
-
-As MH ignores case in the aliases, so too does MH-E. However, you may
-turn off the option @code{mh-alias-completion-ignore-case-flag} to
-make case significant which can be used to segregate completion of
-your aliases. You might use uppercase for mailing lists and lowercase
-for people. For example, you might have:
-
address@hidden
-mark.baushke: Mark Baushke <mdb@@stop.mail-abuse.org>
-MH-E: MH-E Mailing List <mh-e-devel@@stop.mail-abuse.org>
address@hidden smallexample
-
-When this option is turned off, if you were to type @kbd{M} in the
address@hidden:} field and then @address@hidden, then you'd get the list;
-if you started with @kbd{m} and then entered @address@hidden, then
-you'd get Mark's address. Note that this option affects completion
-only. If you were to enter @kbd{Mark.Baushke}, it would still be
-identified with your @samp{mark.baushke} alias.
-
address@hidden mh-alias-minibuffer-confirm-address
address@hidden mh-letter-confirm-address
address@hidden mh-alias-flash-on-comma
address@hidden mh-compose-prompt-flag
-
-To verify that the alias you've entered is valid, the alias will be
-displayed in the minibuffer when you type a comma
-(@code{mh-letter-confirm-address} or
address@hidden if the option
address@hidden is turned on). @xref{Composing}. This
-behavior can be controlled with the option
address@hidden which provides three choices:
address@hidden but Don't Warn If No Alias}, @samp{Flash and Warn If No
-Alias}, and @samp{Don't Flash Nor Warn If No Alias}.
-
-For another way to verify the alias expansion, see @ref{Checking

address@hidden files, @file{/etc/nmh/MailAliases}
-
-MH-E loads aliases for completion and folder name hints from various
-places. It uses the MH command @address@hidden the section
address@hidden@value{MH-BOOK-HOME}/mh.html, MH Aliases} in the MH book.} to
-read aliases from the files listed in the profile component
address@hidden:} as well as system-wide aliases (for example,
address@hidden/etc/nmh/MailAliases}).
-
address@hidden @file{/etc/passwd}
address@hidden files, @file{/etc/passwd}
-
-In addition, aliases are created from @file{/etc/passwd} entries with
-a user ID larger than a magical number, typically 200. This can be a
-handy tool on a machine where you and co-workers exchange messages.
-These aliases have the form @address@hidden if a real
-name is present in the password file. Otherwise, the alias will have
-the form @address@hidden
-
address@hidden mh-alias-local-users-prefix
-
-The prefix @samp{local.} can be modified via the option
address@hidden This option can also be set to
address@hidden Login}.
-
-For example, consider the following password file entry:
-
address@hidden
-psg:x:1000:1000:Peter S Galbraith,,,:/home/psg:/bin/tcsh
address@hidden smallexample
-
address@hidden mh-alias-local-users-prefix
-
-The following settings of option @code{mh-alias-local-users-prefix}
-will produce the associated aliases:
-
address@hidden @code
address@hidden "local."
-local.peter.galbraith
address@hidden -------------------------
address@hidden ""
-peter.galbraith
address@hidden -------------------------
address@hidden Use Login
-psg
address@hidden table
-
address@hidden mh-alias-passwd-gecos-comma-separator-flag
-
-In the example above, commas are used to separate different values
-within the so-called GECOS field. This is a fairly common usage.
-However, in the rare case that the GECOS field in your password file
-is not separated by commas and whose contents may contain commas, you
-can turn the option @code{mh-alias-passwd-gecos-comma-separator-flag}
-off.
-
address@hidden NIS, obtaining local aliases from
address@hidden @samp{ypcat passwd}
address@hidden mh-alias-local-users
-
-If you're on a system with thousands of users you don't know, and the
-loading of local aliases slows MH-E down noticeably, then the local
-alias feature can be disabled by turning off the option
address@hidden This option also takes a string which is
-executed to generate the password file. For example, use @samp{ypcat
-passwd} to obtain the NIS password file.
-
address@hidden mh-alias-reload
address@hidden M-x mh-alias-reload
address@hidden mh-alias-reloaded-hook
-
-Since aliases are updated frequently, MH-E reloads aliases
-automatically whenever an alias lookup occurs if an alias source has
-changed. However, you can reload your aliases manually by calling the
-command @kbd{M-x mh-alias-reload} directly. This command runs
address@hidden after the aliases have been loaded.
-
address@hidden Adding Aliases
-
-In the past, you have manually added aliases to your alias file(s)
-listed in your @samp{Aliasfile:} profile component. MH-E provides
-other methods for maintaining your alias file(s).
-
address@hidden mh-alias-add-alias
address@hidden M-x mh-alias-add-alias
-
-You can use the @kbd{M-x mh-alias-add-alias} command which will prompt
-you for the alias and address that you would like to add. If the alias
-exists already, you will have the choice of inserting the new alias
-before or after the old alias. In the former case, this alias will be
-used when sending mail to this alias. In the latter case, the alias
-serves as an additional folder name hint when filing messages
-(@pxref{Folder Selection}).
-
-Earlier, the alias prefix @samp{local} was presented. You can use
-other prefixes to organize your aliases or disambiguate entries. You
-might use prefixes for locales, jobs, or activities. For example, I
-have:
-
address@hidden
address@hidden
-; Work
-attensity.don.mitchell: Don Mitchell <dmitchell@@stop.mail-abuse.com>
-isharp.don.mitchell: Don Mitchell <donaldsmitchell@@stop.mail-abuse.com>
-...
-; Sport
-diving.ken.mayer: Ken Mayer <kmayer@@stop.mail-abuse.com>
-sailing.mike.maloney: Mike Maloney <mmaloney@@stop.mail-abuse.com>
-...
-; Personal
-ariane.kolkmann: Ariane Kolkmann <ArianeKolkmann@@stop.mail-abuse.com>
-...
address@hidden group
address@hidden smallexample
-
-Using prefixes instead of postfixes helps you explore aliases during
-completion. If you forget the name of an old dive buddy, you can enter
address@hidden and then @key{SPC} to get a listing of all your dive buddies.
-
address@hidden M-x mh-alias-add-address-under-point
address@hidden M-x mh-alias-grab-from-field
-
-An alias for the sender of the current message is added automatically
-by clicking on the @samp{Grab From alias} tool bar button or by running
-the @kbd{M-x mh-alias-grab-from-field} command. Aliases for other
-recipients of the current message are added by placing your cursor
-over the desired recipient and giving the @kbd{M-x
-mh-alias-add-address-under-point} command.
-
address@hidden mh-alias-insert-file
address@hidden mh-alias-insertion-location
-
-The options @code{mh-alias-insert-file} and
address@hidden controls how and where these aliases
-are inserted.
-
address@hidden mh-alias-insert-file
-
-The default setting of option @code{mh-alias-insert-file} is @samp{Use
-Aliasfile Profile Component}. This option can also hold the name of a
-file or a list a file names. If this option is set to a list of file
-names, or the @samp{Aliasfile:} profile component contains more than
-one file name, MH-E will prompt for one of them.
-
address@hidden mh-alias-insertion-location
-
-The option @code{mh-alias-insertion-location} is set to
address@hidden by default. If you organize your alias file in
-other ways, then the settings @samp{Top} and @samp{Bottom} might be
-more appropriate.

-
address@hidden @samp
address@hidden header field, @samp{From:}
address@hidden @samp{From:} header field
address@hidden From Field
-Specify an alternate @samp{From:} header field. You must include a
-valid email address. A standard format is @samp{First Last
-<login@@host.domain>}. If you use an initial with a period, then you
-must quote your name as in @samp{"First I. Last"
-<login@@host.domain>}.

address@hidden mh-identity-default
-
-The @samp{Identity} menu contains two other items to save you from
-having to set the identity on every message. The menu item @samp{Set
-Default for Session} can be used to set the default identity to the
-current identity until you exit Emacs. The menu item @samp{Save as
-Default} sets the option @code{mh-identity-default} to the current
-identity setting. You can also customize the option
address@hidden in the usual fashion. If you find that you
-need to add another identity, the menu item @samp{Customize
-Identities} is available for your convenience.
-
address@hidden regular expressions, @code{mh-auto-fields-list}
address@hidden mh-auto-fields-list
-
-The option @code{mh-auto-fields-list} can also be used to set the
-identity depending on the recipient to provide even more control. To
-customize @code{mh-auto-fields-list}, click on the @samp{INS} button
-and enter a regular expression for the recipient's address
address@hidden
-(@pxref{Regexps, , Syntax of Regular Expressions, emacs, The

-All of the information for that identity will be added if the
-recipient matches.
address@hidden -------------------------
address@hidden @samp{Fcc:} header field
address@hidden header field, @samp{Fcc:}
address@hidden Fcc Field
-Insert an @samp{Fcc:} header field with the folder you provide. When
-you send the message, MH will put a copy of your message in this
-folder.
address@hidden -------------------------
address@hidden @samp{Mail-Followup-To:} header field
address@hidden header field, @samp{Mail-Followup-To:}
address@hidden Mail-Followup-To Field
-Insert an @samp{Mail-Followup-To:} header field with the recipients
-you provide. If the recipient's mail user agent supports this header
address@hidden@samp{Mail-Followup-To:} is supported by nmh.}, then
-their replies will go to the addresses listed. This is useful if their
-replies go both to the list and to you and you don't have a mechanism
-to suppress duplicates. If you reply to someone not on the list, you
-must either remove the @samp{Mail-Followup-To:} field, or ensure the
-recipient is also listed there so that he receives replies to your
-reply.
address@hidden -------------------------
address@hidden Other Field
-Other header fields may be added using this menu item.
address@hidden table
-
address@hidden mh-insert-auto-fields
address@hidden C-c M-d
address@hidden mh-auto-fields-prompt-flag
-
-These fields can only be added after the recipient is known. Because
-you can continue to add recipients as you edit the draft, MH-E waits
-until the message is sent to perform the auto-insertions. This seems
-strange at first, but you'll get used to it. There are two ways to
-help you feel that the desired fields are added. The first is the
-action when the message is sent: if any fields are added
-automatically, you are given a chance to see and to confirm these
-fields before the message is actually sent. You can do away with this
-confirmation by turning off the option
address@hidden The second method is manual: once
-the header contains one or more recipients, you may run the command
address@hidden M-d} (@code{mh-insert-auto-fields}) or choose the
address@hidden -> Insert Auto Fields} menu item to insert these fields
-manually. However, if you use this command, the automatic insertion
-when the message is sent is disabled.
-
address@hidden mh-auto-fields-list
address@hidden mh-identity-list
-
-You should avoid using the same header field in
address@hidden and @code{mh-identity-list} definitions
-that may apply to the same message as the result is undefined.
-
address@hidden mh-identity-handlers
address@hidden mh-identity-list
-
-The option @code{mh-identity-handlers} is used to change the way that
-fields, signatures, and attributions in @code{mh-identity-list} are
-added. To customize @code{mh-identity-handlers}, replace the name of
-an existing handler function associated with the field you want to
-change with the name of a function you have written. You can also
-click on an @samp{INS} button and insert a field of your choice and
-the name of the function you have written to handle it.
-
address@hidden mh-identity-list
-
-The @samp{Field} field can be any field that you've used in your
address@hidden The special fields @samp{:attribution-verb},
address@hidden:signature}, or @samp{:pgg-default-user-id} are used for the
address@hidden choices @samp{Attribution Verb},
address@hidden, and @samp{GPG Key ID} respectively.
-
-The handler associated with the @samp{:default} field is used when no
-other field matches.
-
-The handler functions are passed two or three arguments: the field
-itself (for example, @samp{From}), or one of the special fields (for
-example, @samp{:signature}), and the action @samp{'remove} or
address@hidden'add}. If the action is @samp{'add}, an additional argument
-containing the value for the field is given.

-buffer is special because it displays messages from multiple folders;
-each set of messages from a given folder has a heading with the folder
-name. The appearance of the heading can be modified by customizing the
-face @code{mh-search-folder}. You can jump back and forth between the
-headings using the commands @address@hidden
-(@code{mh-index-next-folder}) and @address@hidden
-(@code{mh-index-previous-folder}).
-
address@hidden mh-index-visit-folder
address@hidden mh-rescan-folder
address@hidden F r
address@hidden v
-
-In addition, the command @kbd{v} (@code{mh-index-visit-folder}) can be
-used to visit the folder of the message at point. Initially, only the
-messages that matched the search criteria are displayed in the folder.
-While the temporary buffer has its own set of message numbers, the
-actual messages numbers are shown in the visited folder. Thus, the
-command @kbd{v} is useful to find the actual message number of an
-interesting message, or to view surrounding messages with the command
address@hidden r} @code{mh-rescan-folder}. @xref{Folders}.

-MH-E depends on @uref{http://spamassassin.apache.org/, SpamAssassin},
address@hidden://bogofilter.sourceforge.net/, bogofilter}, or
address@hidden://spamprobe.sourceforge.net/, SpamProbe} to throw the dreck
-away. This chapter describes briefly how to configure these programs
-to work well with MH-E and how to use MH-E's interface that provides
-continuing education for these programs.
-
address@hidden mh-junk-program
-
-The default setting of the option @code{mh-junk-program} is
address@hidden which means that MH-E will automatically choose one
-of SpamAssassin, bogofilter, or SpamProbe in that order. If, for
-example, you have both SpamAssassin and bogofilter installed and you
-want to use bogofilter, then you can set this option to
address@hidden
-
address@hidden mh-junk-blacklist
address@hidden J b
address@hidden mh-junk-disposition
-
-The command @kbd{J b} (@code{mh-junk-blacklist}) trains the spam
-program in use with the content of the range (@pxref{Ranges}) and then
-handles the message(s) as specified by the option
address@hidden By default, this option is set to
address@hidden Spam} but you can also specify the name of the folder
-which is useful for building a corpus of spam for training purposes.
-
address@hidden mh-junk-whitelist
address@hidden J w
-
-In contrast, the command @kbd{J w} (@code{mh-junk-whitelist})
-reclassifies a range of messages (@pxref{Ranges}) as ham if it were
-incorrectly classified as spam. It then refiles the message into the
address@hidden folder.

-
-By default, the programs are run in the foreground, but this can be
-slow when junking large numbers of messages. If you have enough memory
-or don't junk that many messages at the same time, you might try
-turning on the option @code{mh-junk-background}. @footnote{Note that
-the option @code{mh-junk-background} is used as the @code{display}
-argument in the call to @code{call-process}. Therefore, turning on
-this option means setting its value to @samp{0}. You can also set its
-value to @samp{t} to direct the programs' output to the @samp{*MH-E

address@hidden spam filters, Spamassassin
-
-SpamAssassin is one of the more popular spam filtering programs. Get
-it from your local distribution or from the
address@hidden://spamassassin.apache.org/, SpamAssassin web site}.
-
-To use SpamAssassin, add the following recipes to @file{~/.procmailrc}:
-
address@hidden @command{spamc}
address@hidden @samp{X-Spam-Level:} header field
address@hidden @samp{X-Spam-Status:} header field

-

-* ^X-Spam-Status: Yes
-spam/.
address@hidden smallexample
-
-If you don't use @command{spamc}, use @samp{spamassassin -P -a}.
-
-Note that one of the recipes above throws away messages with a score
-greater than or equal to 10. Here's how you can determine a value that
-works best for you.
-
-First, run @samp{spamassassin -t} on every mail message in your
-archive and use @command{gnumeric} to verify that the average plus the
-standard deviation of good mail is under 5, the SpamAssassin default
-for ``spam''.
-
-Using @command{gnumeric}, sort the messages by score and view the
-messages with the highest score. Determine the score which encompasses
-all of your interesting messages and add a couple of points to be
-conservative. Add that many dots to the @samp{X-Spam-Level:} header
-field above to send messages with that score down the drain.
-
-In the example above, messages with a score of 5-9 are set aside in
-the @samp{+spam} folder for later review. The major weakness of
-rules-based filters is a plethora of false positives so it is
-worthwhile to check.
-
address@hidden mh-junk-blacklist
address@hidden mh-junk-whitelist
address@hidden J b
address@hidden J w
-
-If SpamAssassin classifies a message incorrectly, or is unsure, you can
-use the MH-E commands @kbd{J b} (@code{mh-junk-blacklist}) and
address@hidden w} (@code{mh-junk-whitelist}).
-
address@hidden @command{sa-learn}
address@hidden @file{.spamassassin/user_prefs}
address@hidden files, @file{.spamassassin/user_prefs}
-
-The command @kbd{J b} (@code{mh-junk-blacklist}) adds a
address@hidden entry to @file{~/spamassassin/user_prefs},
-deletes the message, and sends the message to the Razor, so that
-others might not see this spam. If the @command{sa-learn} command is
-available, the message is also recategorized as spam.
-
-The address@hidden w} (@code{mh-junk-whitelist}) adds a
address@hidden rule to @samp{~/.spamassassin/user_prefs}. If
-the @command{sa-learn} command is available, the message is also
-recategorized as ham.
-
-Over time, you'll observe that the same host or domain occurs
-repeatedly in the @samp{blacklist_from} entries, so you might think
-that you could avoid future spam by blacklisting all mail from a
-particular domain. The utility function
address@hidden helps you do precisely that.
-This function displays a frequency count of the hosts and domains in
-the @samp{blacklist_from} entries from the last blank line in
address@hidden/.spamassassin/user_prefs} to the end of the file. This
-information can be used so that you can replace multiple
address@hidden entries with a single wildcard entry such as:
-
address@hidden
-blacklist_from *@@*amazingoffersdirect2u.com
address@hidden smallexample
-
-In versions of SpamAssassin (2.50 and on) that support a Bayesian
-classifier, @kbd{J b} @code{(mh-junk-blacklist}) uses the program
address@hidden to recategorize the message as spam. Neither MH-E,
-nor SpamAssassin, rebuilds the database after adding words, so you
-will need to run @samp{sa-learn --rebuild} periodically. This can be
-done by adding the following to your @file{crontab}:
-
address@hidden

-
address@hidden mh-adaptive-cmd-note-flag
-
-There are a couple of caveats when creating your own scan format file.
-First, MH-E will not work if your scan lines do not include message
-numbers. It will work poorly if you don't dedicate a column for
-showing the current message and notations. You won't be able to use
-the option @code{mh-adaptive-cmd-note-flag} or the threading features
-(@pxref{Threading}).
-
address@hidden message numbers
address@hidden mh-set-cmd-note
address@hidden mh-adaptive-cmd-note-flag
address@hidden mh-scan-format-file
-
-If you've created your own format to handle long message numbers,
-you'll be pleased to know you no longer need it since MH-E adapts its
-internal format based upon the largest message number if
address@hidden is on (the default). If you prefer
-fixed-width message numbers, turn off @code{mh-adaptive-cmd-note-flag}
-and call @code{mh-set-cmd-note} with the width specified by your
-format file (see @code{mh-scan-format-file}). For example, the default
-width is 4, so you would use @samp{(mh-set-cmd-note 4)}.
-
address@hidden mh-adaptive-cmd-note-flag
address@hidden mh-scan-format-file
address@hidden mh-scan-format-mh
address@hidden mh-scan-format-nmh
-
-The default setting for @code{mh-scan-format-file} is @samp{Use MH-E
-scan Format}. This means that the format string will be taken from the
-either @code{mh-scan-format-mh} or @code{mh-scan-format-nmh} depending
-on whether MH or nmh (or GNU mailutils) is in use. This setting also
-enables you to turn on the option @code{mh-adaptive-cmd-note-flag}.
-You can also set this option to @samp{Use Default scan Format} to get
-the same output as you would get if you ran @command{scan} from the
-shell. If you have a format file that you want MH-E to use but not MH,
-you can set this option to @samp{Specify a scan Format File} and enter
-the name of your format file.
-
address@hidden mh-scan-format-file
address@hidden mh-scan-format-mh
address@hidden mh-scan-format-nmh
-
-The scan format that MH-E uses when @code{mh-scan-format-file} is set
-to its default of @samp{Use MH-E scan Format} is held in the variables
address@hidden and @code{mh-scan-format-mh} depending on
-whether you are using nmh (or GNU mailutils) or not. Typically, you
-create your own format files rather than modifying these variables.
-The value of @code{mh-scan-format-nmh} is:
-
address@hidden

-
address@hidden notations, scan line
address@hidden scan line notations
-
-These strings are passed to the @command{scan} program via the
address@hidden argument. The formats are identical to the defaults
-except that additional hints for fontification have been added to the
-existing notations in the fifth column (remember that in Emacs, the
-columns start at 0). The values of the fifth column, in priority
-order, are: @samp{-} if the message has been replied to, @samp{t} if
-an address in the @samp{To:} field matches one of the mailboxes of the
-current user, @samp{c} if the @samp{Cc:} field matches, @samp{b} if

-Unless this variable contains an absolute pathname, it is assumed to

-
address@hidden regular expressions, scan line formats
address@hidden mh-set-cmd-note
address@hidden setq
-
-If you change the format of the scan lines you'll need to tell MH-E
-how to parse the new format. As you will see, quite a lot of variables
-are involved to do that. Use @kbd{M-x apropos @key{RET}
-mh-scan.*regexp @key{RET}} to obtain a list of these variables. You
-will also have to call @code{mh-set-cmd-note} if your notations are
-not in column 4 (columns in Emacs start with 0). Note that unlike most
-of the user options described in this manual, these are variables and
-must be set with @code{setq} instead of in a customization buffer. For

-Now view your new messages with the speedbar (@pxref{Speedbar}) or with
address@hidden n} (@code{mh-index-new-messages}). @xref{Folders}.
-
-If you're on a mailing list that is so voluminous that it is
-impossible to read every message, it usually better to read the
-mailing list like a newsgroup in a news reader. Emacs has a built-in
-newsreader called Gnus. The remainder of this appendix talks about how
-to use Gnus with an MH message store. The version of Gnus that was
-used to prepare this manual was 5.10. Versions 5.8 through 5.10 should
-work but versions prior to 5.8 use different options.
-
-This table contains a list of Gnus options that you will have to

address@hidden first. This can be done with @kbd{M-x load-library
address@hidden nnml @key{RET}}.

address@hidden @code
address@hidden gnus-secondary-select-methods
-Select the @samp{nnml} value. This select method uses directories for

-have to set an address.
address@hidden -------------------------
address@hidden mail-sources
-Select the @samp{Several files in a directory} value, check the
address@hidden box and enter @file{~/Mail} to tell Gnus where to find
-your mail.
address@hidden -------------------------
address@hidden mail-user-agent
address@hidden message-mail-user-agent
-In order to send mail within Gnus using MH-E, set this option to
address@hidden and set the @code{mail-user-agent} option to
address@hidden interface to MH}.
address@hidden -------------------------
address@hidden nnmail-keep-last-article
-Since Gnus keeps track of which messages you have read, it would be
-bad if Gnus expired the last message, for example, message 100, and
address@hidden gave the next new message number 1. Gnus would then
-ignore it since it thinks that you've read messages 1-100. Turning on
-this option ensures that the last message is never removed thereby
-eliminating this problem.

-One day in 1983 I got the flu and had to stay home from work for three
-days with nothing to do. I used that time to write address@hidden The
-fundamental idea behind MHE was that it was a ``puppeteer'' driving
-the MH programs underneath it. MH had a model that the editor was
-supposed to run as a sub-process of the mailer, which seemed to me at
-the time to be the tail wagging the dog. So I turned it around and
-made the editor drive the MH programs. I made sure that the UCI people
-(who were maintaining MH at the time) took in my changes and made them

-Today, I still use my own version of MHE because I don't at all like

-on to Stephen Gildea, the current maintainer, and he was excited about
-the ideas as well. Perhaps one day, MH-E will again resemble MHE

-
-Brian Reid, while at CMU or shortly after going to Stanford wrote a
-mail reading program called MHE for Gosling Emacs. It had much the
-same structure as MH-E (i.e., invoked MH programs), though it was
-simpler and the commands were slightly different. Unfortunately, I no
-longer have a copy so the differences are lost in the mists of time.
-
-In '82-83, I was working at BBN and wrote a lot of mlisp code in
-Gosling Emacs to make it look more like Tennex Emacs. One of the
-packages that I picked up and improved was Reid's mail system. In '83,
-I went back to Berkeley. About that time, Stallman's first version of
-GNU Emacs came out and people started to move to it from Gosling Emacs
-(as I recall, the transition took a year or two). I decided to port
-Reid's MHE and used the mlisp to Emacs Lisp translator that came with
-GNU Emacs. It did a lousy job and the resulting code didn't work, so I
-bit the bullet and rewrote the code by hand (it was a lot smaller and
-simpler then, so it took only a day or two).
-
-Soon after that, MH-E became part of the standard Emacs distribution
-and suggestions kept dribbling in for improvements. MH-E soon reached
-sufficient functionality to keep me happy, but I kept on improving it
-because I was a graduate student with plenty of time on my hands and
-it was more fun than my dissertation. In retrospect, the one thing
-that I regret is not writing any documentation, which seriously
-limited the use and appeal of the package.

address@hidden @command{xmh}, in MH-E history
-
-In '89, I came to Wisconsin as a professor and decided not to work on
-MH-E. It was stable, except for minor bugs, and had enough
-functionality, so I let it be for a few years. Stephen Gildea of BBN
-began to pester me about the bugs, but I ignored them. In 1990, he
-went off to the X Consortium, said good bye, and said that he would
-now be using @command{xmh}. A few months later, he came back and said
-that he couldn't stand @command{xmh} and could I put a few more bug fixes
-into MH-E. At that point, I had no interest in fixing MH-E, so I gave
-the responsibility of maintenance to him and he has done a fine job
-since then.

-In 1987 I went to work for Bolt Beranek and Newman, as Jim had before
-me. In my previous job, I had been using RMAIL, but as my folders tend

-stuck with it because I wanted the GNU Emacs interface. I am very

-modifications of my own) and dislike having to use applications with
-embedded editors; they never live up to Emacs.
-
-MH is the mail reader of choice at BBN, so I converted to it. Since I
-didn't want to give up using an Emacs interface, I started using MH-E.
-As is my wont, I started hacking on it almost immediately. I first
-used version 3.4m. One of the first features I added was to treat the
-folder buffer as a file-visiting buffer: you could lock it, save it,
-and be warned of unsaved changes when killing it. I also worked to
-bring its functionality a little closer to address@hidden Jim Larus was very
-cooperative about merging in my changes, and my efforts first appeared
-in version 3.6, distributed with Emacs 18.52 in 1988. Next I decided
-MH-E was too slow and optimized it a lot. Version, 3.7, distributed
-with Emacs 18.56 in 1990, was noticeably faster.
-
-When I moved to the X Consortium I became the first person there to
-not use xmh. (There is now one other engineer there using MH-E.) About
-this point I took over maintenance of MH-E from Jim and was finally
-able to add some features Jim hadn't accepted, such as the backward
-searching undo. My first release was 3.8 (Emacs 18.58) in 1992.
-
-Now, in 1994, we see a flurry of releases, with both 4.0 and 5.0.
-Version 4.0 added many new features, including background folder
-collection and support for composing @sc{mime} messages. (Reading
address@hidden messages remains to be done, alas.) While writing this book,
-Bill Wohler gave MH-E its closest examination ever, uncovering bugs
-and inconsistencies that required a new major version to fix, and so
-version 5 was released.

-Version 8 development was mostly driven by the rewrite of the manual.

-an improved interface for hiding header fields. The CVS repository was
-migrated from SourceForge to Savannah (only for those files that were

-PREAMBLE
-
-The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other
-functional and useful document ``free'' in the sense of freedom: to
-assure everyone the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it,
-with or without modifying it, either commercially or noncommercially.
-Secondarily, this License preserves for the author and publisher a way
-to get credit for their work, while not being considered responsible
-for modifications made by others.
-
-This License is a kind of ``copyleft'', which means that derivative
-works of the document must themselves be free in the same sense. It
-complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft
-license designed for free software.
-
-We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for free
-software, because free software needs free documentation: a free
-program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms that the
-software does. But this License is not limited to software manuals;
-it can be used for any textual work, regardless of subject matter or
-whether it is published as a printed book. We recommend this License
-principally for works whose purpose is instruction or reference.
-
address@hidden 1
address@hidden
-APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS
-
-This License applies to any manual or other work, in any medium, that
-contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be
-distributed under the terms of this License. Such a notice grants a
-world-wide, royalty-free license, unlimited in duration, to use that
-work under the conditions stated herein. The ``Document'', below,
-refers to any such manual or work. Any member of the public is a
-licensee, and is addressed as ``you''. You accept the license if you
-copy, modify or distribute the work in a way requiring permission
-under copyright law.
-
-A ``Modified Version'' of the Document means any work containing the
-Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with
-modifications and/or translated into another language.
-
-A ``Secondary Section'' is a named appendix or a front-matter section of
-the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the
-publishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall subject
-(or to related matters) and contains nothing that could fall directly
-within that overall subject. (Thus, if the Document is in part a
-textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain any
-mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of historical
-connection with the subject or with related matters, or of legal,
-commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position regarding
-them.
-
-The ``Invariant Sections'' are certain Secondary Sections whose titles
-are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the notice
-that says that the Document is released under this License. If a
-section does not fit the above definition of Secondary then it is not
-allowed to be designated as Invariant. The Document may contain zero
-Invariant Sections. If the Document does not identify any Invariant
-Sections then there are none.
-
-The ``Cover Texts'' are certain short passages of text that are listed,
-as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice that says that
-the Document is released under this License. A Front-Cover Text may
-be at most 5 words, and a Back-Cover Text may be at most 25 words.
-
-A ``Transparent'' copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy,
-represented in a format whose specification is available to the
-general public, that is suitable for revising the document
-straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed of
-pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some widely available
-drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text formatters or
-for automatic translation to a variety of formats suitable for input
-to text formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file
-format whose markup, or absence of markup, has been arranged to thwart
-or discourage subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent.
-An image format is not Transparent if used for any substantial amount
-of text. A copy that is not ``Transparent'' is called ``Opaque.''
-
-
-Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain
-ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format, SGML
-or XML using a publicly available DTD, and standard-conforming simple
-HTML, PostScript or PDF designed for human modification. Examples of
-transparent image formats include PNG, XCF and JPG. Opaque formats
-include proprietary formats that can be read and edited only by
-proprietary word processors, SGML or XML for which the DTD and/or
-processing tools are not generally available, and the
-machine-generated HTML, PostScript or PDF produced by some word
-processors for output purposes only.
-
-The ``Title Page'' means, for a printed book, the title page itself,
-plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the material
-this License requires to appear in the title page. For works in
-formats which do not have any title page as such, ``Title Page'' means
-the text near the most prominent appearance of the work's title,
-preceding the beginning of the body of the text.
-
-A section ``Entitled XYZ'' means a named subunit of the Document whose
-title either is precisely XYZ or contains XYZ in parentheses following
-text that translates XYZ in another language. (Here XYZ stands for a
-specific section name mentioned below, such as ``Acknowledgements'',
-``Dedications'', ``Endorsements'', or ``History''.) To ``Preserve the Title''
-of such a section when you modify the Document means that it remains a
-section ``Entitled XYZ'' according to this definition.
-
-The Document may include Warranty Disclaimers next to the notice which
-states that this License applies to the Document. These Warranty
-Disclaimers are considered to be included by reference in this
-License, but only as regards disclaiming warranties: any other
-implication that these Warranty Disclaimers may have is void and has
-no effect on the meaning of this License.

-VERBATIM COPYING
-
-You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either
-commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the
-copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License applies
-to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you add no other
-conditions whatsoever to those of this License. You may not use
-technical measures to obstruct or control the reading or further
-copying of the copies you make or distribute. However, you may accept
-compensation in exchange for copies. If you distribute a large enough
-number of copies you must also follow the conditions in section 3.
-
-You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and
-you may publicly display copies.
address@hidden 1
address@hidden
-COPYING IN QUANTITY
-
-If you publish printed copies (or copies in media that commonly have
-printed covers) of the Document, numbering more than 100, and the
-Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must enclose the
-copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these Cover
-Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and Back-Cover Texts on
-the back cover. Both covers must also clearly and legibly identify
-you as the publisher of these copies. The front cover must present
-the full title with all words of the title equally prominent and
-visible. You may add other material on the covers in addition.
-Copying with changes limited to the covers, as long as they preserve
-the title of the Document and satisfy these conditions, can be treated
-as verbatim copying in other respects.
-
-If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit
-legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit
-reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent
-pages.
-
-If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering
-more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable Transparent
-copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy
-a computer-network location from which the general network-using
-public has access to download using public-standard network protocols
-a complete Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material.
-If you use the latter option, you must take reasonably prudent steps,
-when you begin distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure
-that this Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated
-location until at least one year after the last time you distribute an
-Opaque copy (directly or through your agents or retailers) of that
-edition to the public.
-
-It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of the
-Document well before redistributing any large number of copies, to give
-them a chance to provide you with an updated version of the Document.
address@hidden 1
address@hidden
-MODIFICATIONS
-
-You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document under
-the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you release
-the Modified Version under precisely this License, with the Modified
-Version filling the role of the Document, thus licensing distribution
-and modification of the Modified Version to whoever possesses a copy
-of it. In addition, you must do these things in the Modified Version:
-
-A. Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title distinct
- from that of the Document, and from those of previous versions
- (which should, if there were any, be listed in the History section
- of the Document). You may use the same title as a previous version
- if the original publisher of that version gives address@hidden
-B. List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or entities
- responsible for authorship of the modifications in the Modified
- Version, together with at least five of the principal authors of the
- Document (all of its principal authors, if it has fewer than five),
- unless they release you from this address@hidden
-C. State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the
- Modified Version, as the address@hidden
-D. Preserve all the copyright notices of the address@hidden
-E. Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications
- adjacent to the other copyright address@hidden
-F. Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license notice
- giving the public permission to use the Modified Version under the
- terms of this License, in the form shown in the Addendum address@hidden
-G. Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant Sections
- and required Cover Texts given in the Document's license address@hidden
-H. Include an unaltered copy of this address@hidden
-I. Preserve the section Entitled ``History'', Preserve its Title, and add
- to it an item stating at least the title, year, new authors, and
- publisher of the Modified Version as given on the Title Page. If
- there is no section Entitled ``History'' in the Document, create one
- stating the title, year, authors, and publisher of the Document as
- given on its Title Page, then add an item describing the Modified
- Version as stated in the previous address@hidden
-J. Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for
- public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and likewise
- the network locations given in the Document for previous versions
- it was based on. These may be placed in the ``History'' section.
- You may omit a network location for a work that was published at
- least four years before the Document itself, or if the original
- publisher of the version it refers to gives address@hidden
-K. For any section Entitled ``Acknowledgements'' or ``Dedications'',
- Preserve the Title of the section, and preserve in the section all
- the substance and tone of each of the contributor acknowledgements
- and/or dedications given address@hidden
-L. Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document,
- unaltered in their text and in their titles. Section numbers
- or the equivalent are not considered part of the section address@hidden
-M. Delete any section Entitled ``Endorsements.'' Such a section
- may not be included in the Modified address@hidden
-N. Do not retitle any existing section to be Entitled ``Endorsements''
- or to conflict in title with any Invariant address@hidden
-O. Preserve any Warranty address@hidden
address@hidden 1
-If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or
-appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no material
-copied from the Document, you may at your option designate some or all
-of these sections as invariant. To do this, add their titles to the
-list of Invariant Sections in the Modified Version's license notice.
-These titles must be distinct from any other section titles.
-
-You may add a section Entitled ``Endorsements'', provided it contains
-nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various
-parties--for example, statements of peer review or that the text has
-been approved by an organization as the authoritative definition of a
-standard.
-
-You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and a
-passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of the list
-of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one passage of
-Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or
-through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the Document already
-includes a cover text for the same cover, previously added by you or
-by arrangement made by the same entity you are acting on behalf of,
-you may not add another; but you may replace the old one, on explicit
-permission from the previous publisher that added the old one.
-
-The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License
-give permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert or
-imply endorsement of any Modified Version.
address@hidden 1
address@hidden
-COMBINING DOCUMENTS
-
-You may combine the Document with other documents released under this
-License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for modified
-versions, provided that you include in the combination all of the
-Invariant Sections of all of the original documents, unmodified, and
-list them all as Invariant Sections of your combined work in its
-license notice, and that you preserve all their Warranty Disclaimers.
-
-The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and
-multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single
-copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name but
-different contents, make the title of each such section unique by
-adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the original
-author or publisher of that section if known, or else a unique number.
-Make the same adjustment to the section titles in the list of
-Invariant Sections in the license notice of the combined work.
-
-In the combination, you must combine any sections Entitled ``History''
-in the various original documents, forming one section Entitled
-``History''; likewise combine any sections Entitled ``Acknowledgements'',
-and any sections Entitled ``Dedications.'' You must delete all sections
-Entitled ``Endorsements.''

-COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS
-
-You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other documents
-released under this License, and replace the individual copies of this
-License in the various documents with a single copy that is included in
-the collection, provided that you follow the rules of this License for
-verbatim copying of each of the documents in all other respects.
-
-You may extract a single document from such a collection, and distribute
-it individually under this License, provided you insert a copy of this
-License into the extracted document, and follow this License in all
-other respects regarding verbatim copying of that document.

address@hidden
-AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS
-
-A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other separate
-and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a storage or
-distribution medium, is called an ``aggregate'' if the copyright
-resulting from the compilation is not used to limit the legal rights
-of the compilation's users beyond what the individual works permit.
-When the Document is included in an aggregate, this License does not
-apply to the other works in the aggregate which are not themselves
-derivative works of the Document.
-
-If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these
-copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one half of
-the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed on
-covers that bracket the Document within the aggregate, or the
-electronic equivalent of covers if the Document is in electronic form.
-Otherwise they must appear on printed covers that bracket the whole
-aggregate.
address@hidden 1
address@hidden
-TRANSLATION
-
-Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may
-distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section 4.
-Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special
-permission from their copyright holders, but you may include
-translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the
-original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include a
-translation of this License, and all the license notices in the
-Document, and any Warranty Disclaimers, provided that you also include
-the original English version of this License and the original versions
-of those notices and disclaimers. In case of a disagreement between
-the translation and the original version of this License or a notice
-or disclaimer, the original version will prevail.
-
-If a section in the Document is Entitled ``Acknowledgements'',
-``Dedications'', or ``History'', the requirement (section 4) to Preserve
-its Title (section 1) will typically require changing the actual
-title.

-TERMINATION
-
-You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document except
-as expressly provided for under this License. Any other attempt to
-copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Document is void, and will
-automatically terminate your rights under this License. However,
-parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this
-License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
-parties remain in full compliance.

address@hidden Preamble
-
- The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
-freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
-License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
-software---to make sure the software is free for all its users. This
-General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
-Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
-using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
-the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.) You can apply it to
-your programs, too.
-
- When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
-price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
-have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
-this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
-if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
-in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
-
- To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
-anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
-These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
-distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
-
- For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
-gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
-you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
-source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their
-rights.
-
- We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
-(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
-distribute and/or modify the software.
-
- Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
-that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
-software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
-want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
-that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
-authors' reputations.
-
- Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
-patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
-program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
-program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
-patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
-
- The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
-modification follow.

address@hidden ifinfo
-
address@hidden 0
address@hidden
-This License applies to any program or other work which contains
-a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
-under the terms of this General Public License. The ``Program,'' below,
-refers to any such program or work, and a ``work based on the Program''
-means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
-that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
-either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
-language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
-the term ``modification.'') Each licensee is addressed as ``you.''
-
-Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
-covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
-running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
-is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
-Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
-Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
-
address@hidden
-You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
-source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
-conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
-copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
-notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
-and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
-along with the Program.
-
-You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
-you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
-
address@hidden
-You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
-of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
-distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
-above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
-
address@hidden a
address@hidden
-You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
-stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
-
address@hidden
-You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
-whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
-part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
-parties under the terms of this License.
-
address@hidden
-If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
-when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
-interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
-announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
-notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
-a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
-these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
-License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
-does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
-the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
address@hidden enumerate
-
-These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
-identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
-and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
-themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
-sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
-distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
-on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
-this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
-entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
-
-Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
-your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
-exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
-collective works based on the Program.
-
-In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
-with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
-a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
-the scope of this License.
-
address@hidden
-You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
-under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
-Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
-
address@hidden a
address@hidden
-Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
-source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
-1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
-
address@hidden
-Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
-years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
-cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
-machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
-distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
-customarily used for software interchange; or,
-
address@hidden
-Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
-to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is
-allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
-received the program in object code or executable form with such
-an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
address@hidden enumerate
-
-The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
-making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source
-code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
-associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
-control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a
-special exception, the source code distributed need not include
-anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
-form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
-operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
-itself accompanies the executable.
-
-If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
-access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
-access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
-distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
-compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
-
address@hidden
-You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
-except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
-otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
-void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
-However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
-this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
-parties remain in full compliance.
-
address@hidden
-You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
-signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
-distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are
-prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
-modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
-Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
-all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
-the Program or works based on it.
-
address@hidden
-Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
-Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
-original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
-these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
-restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
-You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
-this License.
-
address@hidden
-If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
-infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
-conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
-otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
-excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
-distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
-License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
-may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent
-license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
-all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
-the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
-refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
-
-If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
-any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
-apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
-circumstances.
-
-It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
-patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
-such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
-integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
-implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
-generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
-through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
-system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
-to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
-impose that choice.
-
-This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
-be a consequence of the rest of this License.
-
address@hidden
-If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
-certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
-original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
-may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
-those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
-countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates
-the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
-
address@hidden
-The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
-of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
-be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
-address new problems or concerns.
-
-Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
-specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and ``any
-later version,'' you have the option of following the terms and conditions
-either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
-Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of
-this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
-Foundation.
-
address@hidden
-If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
-programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
-to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free
-Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
-make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals
-of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
-of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.

address@hidden How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
-
- If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
-possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
-free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
-
- To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
-to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
-convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
-the ``copyright'' line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
-

-modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License
-as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 3
-of the License, or (at your option) any later version.
-
-This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
-but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
-MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR address@hidden See the
-GNU General Public License for more details.

-You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along

-
-Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.
-
-If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
-when it starts in an interactive mode:
-
address@hidden
-Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) @var{yyyy} @var{name of author}
-Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details
-type `show w'. This is free software, and you are welcome
-to redistribute it under certain conditions; type `show c'
-for details.
address@hidden smallexample

-The hypothetical commands @samp{show w} and @samp{show c} should show
-the appropriate parts of the General Public License. Of course, the
-commands you use may be called something other than @samp{show w} and
address@hidden c}; they could even be mouse-clicks or menu items---whatever
-suits your program.
-
-You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
-school, if any, to sign a ``copyright disclaimer'' for the program, if
-necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:
-
