80 point in the buffer where the message is and call the required command. | |
81 @code{Message} will then pop up a new @code{message} mode buffer with | |

106 Two optional parameters are accepted: The first will be used as the | |

127 reply to the message in the current buffer. | |
128 | |
129 @vindex message-reply-to-function | |
130 Message uses the normal methods to determine where replies are to go | |
131 (@pxref{Responses}), but you can change the behavior to suit your needs | |
132 by fiddling with the @code{message-reply-to-function} variable. | |
133 | |
134 If you want the replies to go to the @code{Sender} instead of the | |
135 @code{From}, you could do something like this: | |
136 | |
137 @lisp | |
138 (setq message-reply-to-function | |
139 (lambda () | |
140 (cond ((equal (mail-fetch-field "from") "somebody") | |
31852 | 141 (list (cons 'To (mail-fetch-field "sender")))) |
142 (t | |
25829 | 143 nil)))) |
144 @end lisp | |
145 | |
146 This function will be called narrowed to the head of the article that is | |
147 being replied to. | |
148 | |
149 As you can see, this function should return a string if it has an | |
150 opinion as to what the To header should be. If it does not, it should | |
151 just return @code{nil}, and the normal methods for determining the To | |
152 header will be used. | |
153 | |
154 This function can also return a list. In that case, each list element | |

167 reply that goes out to all people listed in the @code{To}, @code{From} | |

501 You most often end up in a Message buffer when responding to some other | |
502 message of some sort. Message does lots of handling of quoted text, and | |
503 may remove signatures, reformat the text, or the like---depending on | |
504 which used settings you're using. Message usually gets things right, | |
505 but sometimes it stumbles. To help the user unwind these stumblings, | |
506 Message sets the undo boundary before each major automatic action it | |
507 takes. If you press the undo key (usually located at @kbd{C-_}) a few | |
508 times, you will get back the un-edited message you're responding to. | |

1164 @vindex message-mail-alias-type | |
1165 The @code{message-mail-alias-type} variable controls what type of mail | |
1166 alias expansion to use. Currently only one form is supported---Message | |
1167 uses @code{mailabbrev} to handle mail aliases. If this variable is | |
1168 @code{nil}, no mail alias expansion will be performed. | |
1169 | |
1170 @code{mailabbrev} works by parsing the @file{/etc/mailrc} and | |
1171 @file{~/.mailrc} files. These files look like: | |
1172 | |
1173 @example | |
1174 alias lmi "Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen <larsi@@ifi.uio.no>" | |
1175 alias ding "ding@@ifi.uio.no (ding mailing list)" | |
1176 @end example | |
1177 | |
1178 After adding lines like this to your @file{~/.mailrc} file, you should | |
1179 be able to just write @samp{lmi} in the @code{To} or @code{Cc} (and so | |
1180 on) headers and press @kbd{SPC} to expand the alias. | |
1181 | |
1182 No expansion will be performed upon sending of the message---all | |
1183 expansions have to be done explicitly. | |

1191 There are two popular ways to have Emacs spell-check your messages: | |
1192 @code{ispell} and @code{flyspell}. @code{ispell} is the older and | |
1193 probably more popular package. You typically first write the message, | |
1194 and then run the entire thing through @code{ispell} and fix all the | |
1195 typos. To have this happen automatically when you send a message, put | |
1196 something like the following in your @file{.emacs} file: | |
1197 | |
1198 @lisp | |
1199 (add-hook 'message-send-hook 'ispell-message) | |
1200 @end lisp | |
1201 | |
1202 @vindex ispell-message-dictionary-alist | |
1203 If you're in the habit of writing in different languages, this can be | |
1204 controlled by the @code{ispell-message-dictionary-alist} variable: | |
1205 | |
1206 @lisp | |
1207 (setq ispell-message-dictionary-alist | |

35614 | 1210 @end lisp |
1211 | |
1212 @code{ispell} depends on having the external @samp{ispell} command | |
1213 installed. | |
1214 | |
1215 The other popular method is using @code{flyspell}. This package checks | |
1216 your spelling while you're writing, and marks any mis-spelled words in | |
1217 various ways. | |
1218 | |
1219 To use @code{flyspell}, put something like the following in your | |
1220 @file{.emacs} file: | |
1221 | |
1222 @lisp | |
1223 (defun my-message-setup-routine () | |

1253 be -- it's a combined news and mail agent. To be able to send combined | |
1254 messages, it has to generate all headers itself (instead of letting the | |

1309 Headers in this list that were previously generated by Message will be | |
1310 deleted before posting. Let's say you post an article. Then you decide | |
1311 to post it again to some other group, you naughty boy, so you jump back | |
1312 to the @code{*post-buf*} buffer, edit the @code{Newsgroups} line, and | |
1313 ship it off again. By default, this variable makes sure that the old | |
1314 generated @code{Message-ID} is deleted, and a new one generated. If | |
1315 this isn't done, the entire empire would probably crumble, anarchy would | |
1316 prevail, and cats would start walking on two legs and rule the world. | |

25829 | 1586 This extremely optional header should probably never be used. |
1587 However, some @emph{very} old servers require that this header is | |
1588 present. @code{message-user-path} further controls how this | |
1589 @code{Path} header is to look. If it is @code{nil}, use the server name | |
1590 as the leaf node. If it is a string, use the string. If it is neither | |
1591 a string nor @code{nil}, use the user name only. However, it is highly | |
1592 unlikely that you should need to fiddle with this variable at all. | |

31852 | 1883 Hook called narrowed to the headers after initializing the headers. |
25829 | 1884 |
1885 For instance, if you're running Gnus and wish to insert a | |
1886 @samp{Mail-Copies-To} header in all your news articles and all messages | |
1887 you send to mailing lists, you could do something like the following: | |
1888 | |
1889 @lisp | |
1890 (defun my-message-header-setup-hook () | |
1891 (let ((group (or gnus-newsgroup-name ""))) | |
1892 (when (or (message-fetch-field "newsgroups") | |
1893 (gnus-group-find-parameter group 'to-address) | |
1894 (gnus-group-find-parameter group 'to-list)) | |
1895 (insert "Mail-Copies-To: never\n")))) | |
1896 | |
1897 (add-hook 'message-header-setup-hook | |
1898 'my-message-header-setup-hook) | |
1899 @end lisp | |
1900 | |
1901 @item message-send-hook | |
1902 @vindex message-send-hook | |
1903 Hook run before sending messages. | |
1904 | |
1905 If you want to add certain headers before sending, you can use the | |
1906 @code{message-add-header} function in this hook. For instance: | |
1907 @findex message-add-header | |
1908 | |
1909 @lisp | |
1910 (add-hook 'message-send-hook 'my-message-add-content) | |
1911 (defun my-message-add-content () | |
35614 | 1912 (message-add-header "X-In-No-Sense: Nonsense") |
1913 (message-add-header "X-Whatever: no")) | |
25829 | 1914 @end lisp |
1915 | |
1916 This function won't add the header if the header is already present. | |
1917 | |

2016 @section Message Buffers | |
2017 | |
2018 Message will generate new buffers with unique buffer names when you | |
2019 request a message buffer. When you send the message, the buffer isn't | |
2020 normally killed off. Its name is changed and a certain number of old | |
2021 message buffers are kept alive. | |
2022 | |
2023 @table @code | |
2024 @item message-generate-new-buffers | |
2025 @vindex message-generate-new-buffers | |
2026 If non-@code{nil}, generate new buffers. The default is @code{t}. If | |
2027 this is a function, call that function with three parameters: The type, | |
2028 the to address and the group name. (Any of these may be @code{nil}.) | |
2029 The function should return the new buffer name. | |
2030 | |
2031 @item message-max-buffers | |
2032 @vindex message-max-buffers | |
2033 This variable says how many old message buffers to keep. If there are | |
2034 more message buffers than this, the oldest buffer will be killed. The | |
2035 default is 10. If this variable is @code{nil}, no old message buffers | |
2036 will ever be killed. | |
2037 | |
2038 @item message-send-rename-function | |
2039 @vindex message-send-rename-function | |
2040 After sending a message, the buffer is renamed from, for instance, | |
2041 @samp{*reply to Lars*} to @samp{*sent reply to Lars*}. If you don't | |
2042 like this, set this variable to a function that renames the buffer in a | |
2043 manner you like. If you don't want to rename the buffer at all, you can | |
2044 say: | |
2045 | |
2046 @lisp | |

2058 @section Message Actions | |
2059 | |
2060 When Message is being used from a news/mail reader, the reader is likely | |
2061 to want to perform some task after the message has been sent. Perhaps | |
2062 return to the previous window configuration or mark an article as | |
31852 | 2063 replied. |
25829 | 2064 |
2065 @vindex message-kill-actions | |
2066 @vindex message-postpone-actions | |
2067 @vindex message-exit-actions | |
2068 @vindex message-send-actions | |
2069 The user may exit from the message buffer in various ways. The most | |
2070 common is @kbd{C-c C-c}, which sends the message and exits. Other | |
2071 possibilities are @kbd{C-c C-s} which just sends the message, @kbd{C-c | |
2072 C-d} which postpones the message editing and buries the message buffer, | |
2073 and @kbd{C-c C-k} which kills the message buffer. Each of these actions | |
2074 have lists associated with them that contains actions to be executed: | |
2075 @code{message-send-actions}, @code{message-exit-actions}, | |
31852 | 2076 @code{message-postpone-actions}, and @code{message-kill-actions}. |
25829 | 2077 |
2078 Message provides a function to interface with these lists: | |
2079 @code{message-add-action}. The first parameter is the action to be | |
2080 added, and the rest of the arguments are which lists to add this action | |
2081 to. Here's an example from Gnus: | |
2082 | |
2083 @lisp | |
2084 (message-add-action | |
2085 `(set-window-configuration ,(current-window-configuration)) | |
2086 'exit 'postpone 'kill) | |
2087 @end lisp | |
2088 | |
2089 This restores the Gnus window configuration when the message buffer is | |
2090 killed, postponed or exited. | |
2091 | |

2124 To determine where a message is to go, the following algorithm is used | |
2125 by default. | |
2126 | |
2127 @table @dfn | |
2128 @item reply | |
2129 A @dfn{reply} is when you want to respond @emph{just} to the person who | |
2130 sent the message via mail. There will only be one recipient. To | |
2131 determine who the recipient will be, the following headers are | |
2132 consulted, in turn: | |
2133 | |
2134 @table @code | |
2135 @item Reply-To | |
2136 | |
2137 @item From | |
2138 @end table | |
2139 | |
2140 | |
2141 @item wide reply | |
2142 A @dfn{wide reply} is a mail response that includes @emph{all} entities | |
2143 mentioned in the message you are responded to. All mailboxes from the | |
2144 following headers will be concatenated to form the outgoing | |
2145 @code{To}/@code{Cc} headers: | |
2146 | |
2147 @table @code | |
2148 @item From | |
2149 (unless there's a @code{Reply-To}, in which case that is used instead). | |
2150 | |
2151 @item Cc | |
2152 | |
2153 @item To | |
2154 @end table | |
2155 | |
2156 If a @code{Mail-Copies-To} header is present, it will also be included | |
2157 in the list of mailboxes. If this header is @samp{never}, that means | |
2158 that the @code{From} (or @code{Reply-To}) mailbox will be suppressed. | |
2159 | |
2160 | |
2161 @item followup | |
2162 A @dfn{followup} is a response sent via news. The following headers | |
2163 (listed in order of precedence) determine where the response is to be | |
2164 sent: | |
2165 | |
2166 @table @code | |
2167 | |
2168 @item Followup-To | |
2169 | |
2170 @item Newsgroups | |
2171 | |
2172 @end table | |
2173 | |
2174 If a @code{Mail-Copies-To} header is present, it will be used as the | |
2175 basis of the new @code{Cc} header, except if this header is | |
2176 @samp{never}. | |
