108 @findex message-mail | |
109 The @code{message-mail} command pops up a new message buffer. | |
110 | |
111 Two optional parameters are accepted: The first will be used as the | |
112 @code{To} header and the second as the @code{Subject} header. If these | |
113 are @code{nil}, those two headers will be empty. | |

121 | |
122 This function accepts two optional parameters. The first will be used | |
123 as the @code{Newsgroups} header and the second as the @code{Subject} | |
124 header. If these are @code{nil}, those two headers will be empty. | |
125 | |
126 | |
127 @node Reply | |
128 @section Reply | |
129 | |
130 @findex message-reply | |
131 The @code{message-reply} function pops up a message buffer that's a | |
132 reply to the message in the current buffer. | |
133 | |
134 @vindex message-reply-to-function | |
135 Message uses the normal methods to determine where replies are to go | |
136 (@pxref{Responses}), but you can change the behavior to suit your needs | |
137 by fiddling with the @code{message-reply-to-function} variable. | |
138 | |
139 If you want the replies to go to the @code{Sender} instead of the | |
140 @code{From}, you could do something like this: | |
141 | |
142 @lisp | |
143 (setq message-reply-to-function | |
144 (lambda () | |
145 (cond ((equal (mail-fetch-field "from") "somebody") | |
146 (list (cons 'To (mail-fetch-field "sender")))) | |
147 (t | |
148 nil)))) | |
149 @end lisp | |
150 | |
151 This function will be called narrowed to the head of the article that is | |
152 being replied to. | |
153 | |
154 As you can see, this function should return a list. In this case, it | |
155 returns @code{((To . "Whom"))} if it has an opinion as to what the To | |
156 header should be. If it does not, it should just return @code{nil}, and | |
157 the normal methods for determining the To header will be used. | |
158 | |
159 Each list element should be a cons, where the @sc{car} should be the | |
160 name of a header (e.g. @code{Cc}) and the @sc{cdr} should be the header | |
161 value (e.g. @samp{larsi@@ifi.uio.no}). All these headers will be | |
162 inserted into the head of the outgoing mail. | |
163 | |
164 | |
165 @node Wide Reply | |
166 @section Wide Reply | |
167 | |
168 @findex message-wide-reply | |
169 The @code{message-wide-reply} pops up a message buffer that's a wide | |
170 reply to the message in the current buffer. A @dfn{wide reply} is a | |
171 reply that goes out to all people listed in the @code{To}, @code{From} | |
172 (or @code{Reply-to}) and @code{Cc} headers. | |
173 | |
174 @vindex message-wide-reply-to-function | |
175 Message uses the normal methods to determine where wide replies are to go, | |
176 but you can change the behavior to suit your needs by fiddling with the | |
177 @code{message-wide-reply-to-function}. It is used in the same way as | |
178 @code{message-reply-to-function} (@pxref{Reply}). | |

192 | |
193 @findex message-followup | |
194 The @code{message-followup} command pops up a message buffer that's a | |
195 followup to the message in the current buffer. | |
196 | |
197 @vindex message-followup-to-function | |
198 Message uses the normal methods to determine where followups are to go, | |
199 but you can change the behavior to suit your needs by fiddling with the | |
200 @code{message-followup-to-function}. It is used in the same way as | |
201 @code{message-reply-to-function} (@pxref{Reply}). | |
202 | |
203 @vindex message-use-followup-to | |
204 The @code{message-use-followup-to} variable says what to do about | |
205 @code{Followup-To} headers. If it is @code{use}, always use the value. | |
206 If it is @code{ask} (which is the default), ask whether to use the | |
207 value. If it is @code{t}, use the value unless it is @samp{poster}. If | |
208 it is @code{nil}, don't use the value. | |
209 | |
210 | |
211 @node Canceling News | |
212 @section Canceling News | |
213 | |
214 @findex message-cancel-news | |
215 The @code{message-cancel-news} command cancels the article in the | |
216 current buffer. | |
217 | |
218 @vindex message-cancel-message | |
219 The value of @code{message-cancel-message} is inserted in the body of | |
220 the cancel message. The default is @samp{I am canceling my own | |
221 article.}. | |
222 | |
223 @cindex Cancel Locks | |
224 @vindex message-insert-canlock | |
225 @cindex canlock | |
226 When Message posts news messages, it inserts @code{Cancel-Lock} | |
227 headers by default. This is a cryptographic header that ensures that | |
228 only you can cancel your own messages, which is nice. The downside | |
229 is that if you lose your @file{.emacs} file (which is where Gnus | |
230 stores the secret cancel lock password (which is generated | |
231 automatically the first time you use this feature)), you won't be | |
232 able to cancel your message. If you want to manage a password yourself, | |
233 you can put something like the following in your @file{~/.gnus.el} file: | |
234 | |
235 @lisp | |
236 (setq canlock-password "geheimnis" | |
237 canlock-password-for-verify canlock-password) | |
238 @end lisp | |
239 | |
240 Whether to insert the header or not is controlled by the | |
241 @code{message-insert-canlock} variable. | |
242 | |
243 Not many news servers respect the @code{Cancel-Lock} header yet, but | |
244 this is expected to change in the future. | |
245 | |
246 | |
247 @node Superseding | |
248 @section Superseding | |
249 | |
250 @findex message-supersede | |
251 The @code{message-supersede} command pops up a message buffer that will | |
252 supersede the message in the current buffer. | |
253 | |
254 @vindex message-ignored-supersedes-headers | |
255 Headers matching the @code{message-ignored-supersedes-headers} are | |
256 removed before popping up the new message buffer. The default is@* | |

299 the evidence of previous forwards (such as @samp{Fwd:}, @samp{Re:}, | |
300 @samp{(fwd)}) removed before the new subject is | |
301 constructed. The default value is @code{nil}. | |
302 | |

307 messages will just be copied inline to the new message, like previous, | |

337 undeliverable. | |

345 @node Mailing Lists | |
346 @section Mailing Lists | |
347 | |
348 @cindex Mail-Followup-To | |
349 Sometimes while posting to mailing lists, the poster needs to direct | |
350 followups to the post to specific places. The Mail-Followup-To (MFT) | |
351 was created to enable just this. Three example scenarios where this is | |
352 useful: | |
353 | |
354 @itemize @bullet | |
355 @item | |
356 A mailing list poster can use MFT to express that responses should be | |
357 sent to just the list, and not the poster as well. This will happen | |
358 if the poster is already subscribed to the list. | |
359 | |
360 @item | |
361 A mailing list poster can use MFT to express that responses should be | |
362 sent to the list and the poster as well. This will happen if the poster | |
363 is not subscribed to the list. | |
364 | |
365 @item | |
366 If a message is posted to several mailing lists, MFT may also be used | |
367 to direct the following discussion to one list only, because | |
368 discussions that are spread over several lists tend to be fragmented | |
369 and very difficult to follow. | |
370 | |
371 @end itemize | |
372 | |
373 Gnus honors the MFT header in other's messages (i.e. while following | |
374 up to someone else's post) and also provides support for generating | |
375 sensible MFT headers for outgoing messages as well. | |

383 @subsection Composing a correct MFT header automagically | |
384 | |
385 The first step in getting Gnus to automagically generate a MFT header | |
386 in posts you make is to give Gnus a list of the mailing lists | |
387 addresses you are subscribed to. You can do this in more than one | |
388 way. The following variables would come in handy. | |

402 @item message-subscribed-regexps | |
403 This should be a list of regexps denoting the addresses of mailing | |
404 lists subscribed to. Default value is @code{nil}. Example: If you | |
405 want to achieve the same result as above: | |
406 @lisp | |

411 @vindex message-subscribed-address-functions | |
412 @item message-subscribed-address-functions | |
413 This can be a list of functions to be called (one at a time!!) to | |
414 determine the value of MFT headers. It is advisable that these | |
415 functions not take any arguments. Default value is @code{nil}. | |
416 | |
417 There is a pre-defined function in Gnus that is a good candidate for | |
418 this variable. @code{gnus-find-subscribed-addresses} is a function | |
419 that returns a list of addresses corresponding to the groups that have | |
420 the @code{subscribed} (@pxref{Group Parameters, ,Group Parameters, | |
421 gnus, The Gnus Manual}) group parameter set to a non-@code{nil} value. | |
422 This is how you would do it. | |
423 | |

425 (setq message-subscribed-address-functions | |

427 @end lisp | |
428 | |
429 @vindex message-subscribed-address-file | |
430 @item message-subscribed-address-file | |
431 You might be one organized human freak and have a list of addresses of | |
432 all subscribed mailing lists in a separate file! Then you can just | |
433 set this variable to the name of the file and life would be good. | |
434 | |
435 @end table | |
436 | |
437 You can use one or more of the above variables. All their values are | |
438 ``added'' in some way that works :-) | |
439 | |
440 Now you are all set. Just start composing a message as you normally do. | |
441 And just send it; as always. Just before the message is sent out, Gnus' | |
442 MFT generation thingy kicks in and checks if the message already has a | |
443 MFT field. If there is one, it is left alone. (Except if it's empty - | |
444 in that case, the field is removed and is not replaced with an | |
445 automatically generated one. This lets you disable MFT generation on a | |
446 per-message basis.) If there is none, then the list of recipient | |
447 addresses (in the To: and Cc: headers) is checked to see if one of them | |
448 is a list address you are subscribed to. If none of them is a list | |
449 address, then no MFT is generated; otherwise, a MFT is added to the | |
450 other headers and set to the value of all addresses in To: and Cc: | |
451 | |
452 @kindex C-c C-f C-a | |
453 @findex message-generate-unsubscribed-mail-followup-to | |
454 @kindex C-c C-f C-m | |
455 @findex message-goto-mail-followup-to | |
456 Hm. ``So'', you ask, ``what if I send an email to a list I am not | |
457 subscribed to? I want my MFT to say that I want an extra copy.'' (This | |
458 is supposed to be interpreted by others the same way as if there were no | |
459 MFT, but you can use an explicit MFT to override someone else's | |
460 to-address group parameter.) The function | |
461 @code{message-generate-unsubscribed-mail-followup-to} might come in | |
462 handy. It is bound to @kbd{C-c C-f C-a} by default. In any case, you | |
463 can insert a MFT of your own choice; @kbd{C-c C-f C-m} | |
464 (@code{message-goto-mail-followup-to}) will help you get started. | |

468 | |
469 @vindex message-use-mail-followup-to | |
470 When you followup to a post on a mailing list, and the post has a MFT | |
471 header, Gnus' action will depend on the value of the variable | |
472 @code{message-use-mail-followup-to}. This variable can be one of: | |
473 | |
474 @table @code | |
475 @item use | |
476 Always honor MFTs. The To: and Cc: headers in your followup will be | |
477 derived from the MFT header of the original post. This is the default. | |
478 | |
479 @item nil | |
480 Always dishonor MFTs (just ignore the darned thing) | |
481 | |
482 @item ask | |
483 Gnus will prompt you for an action. | |
484 | |
485 @end table | |
486 | |
487 It is considered good netiquette to honor MFT, as it is assumed the | |
488 fellow who posted a message knows where the followups need to go | |
489 better than you do. | |

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

824 Message is a @acronym{MIME}-compliant posting agent. The user generally | |
825 doesn't have to do anything to make the @acronym{MIME} happen---Message will | |
826 automatically add the @code{Content-Type} and | |
827 @code{Content-Transfer-Encoding} headers. | |
828 | |
829 @findex mml-attach-file | |
830 @kindex C-c C-a | |
831 The most typical thing users want to use the multipart things in | |
832 @acronym{MIME} for is to add ``attachments'' to mail they send out. | |
833 This can be done with the @kbd{C-c C-a} command (@kbd{M-x mml-attach-file}), | |
834 which will prompt for a file name and a @acronym{MIME} type. | |
835 | |
836 @vindex mml-dnd-protocol-alist | |
837 @vindex mml-dnd-attach-options | |
838 If your Emacs supports drag and drop, you can also drop the file in the | |
839 Message buffer. The variable @code{mml-dnd-protocol-alist} specifies | |
840 what kind of action is done when you drop a file into the Message | |
841 buffer. The variable @code{mml-dnd-attach-options} controls which | |
842 @acronym{MIME} options you want to specify when dropping a file. If it | |
843 is a list, valid members are @code{type}, @code{description} and | |
844 @code{disposition}. @code{disposition} implies @code{type}. If it is | |
845 @code{nil}, don't ask for options. If it is @code{t}, ask the user | |
846 whether or not to specify options. | |
847 | |
848 You can also create arbitrarily complex multiparts using the @acronym{MML} | |

858 Message is a @acronym{IDNA}-compliant posting agent. The user | |
859 generally doesn't have to do anything to make the @acronym{IDNA} | |
860 happen---Message will encode non-@acronym{ASCII} domain names in @code{From}, | |
861 @code{To}, and @code{Cc} headers automatically. | |
862 | |
863 Until @acronym{IDNA} becomes more well known, Message queries you | |
864 whether @acronym{IDNA} encoding of the domain name really should | |
865 occur. Some users might not be aware that domain names can contain | |
866 non-@acronym{ASCII} now, so this gives them a safety net if they accidently | |
867 typed a non-@acronym{ASCII} domain name. | |
868 | |
869 @vindex message-use-idna | |
870 The @code{message-use-idna} variable control whether @acronym{IDNA} is | |
871 used. If the variable is @code{nil} no @acronym{IDNA} encoding will | |
872 ever happen, if it is set to the symbol @code{ask} the user will be | |
873 queried, and if set to @code{t} (which is the default if @acronym{IDNA} | |
874 is fully available) @acronym{IDNA} encoding happens automatically. | |
875 | |
876 @findex message-idna-to-ascii-rhs | |
877 If you want to experiment with the @acronym{IDNA} encoding, you can | |
878 invoke @kbd{M-x message-idna-to-ascii-rhs RET} in the message buffer | |
879 to have the non-@acronym{ASCII} domain names encoded while you edit | |
880 the message. | |
881 | |
882 Note that you must have @uref{http://www.gnu.org/software/libidn/, GNU | |
883 Libidn} installed in order to use this functionality. | |

957 | |
958 These commands do not immediately sign or encrypt the message, they | |
959 merely insert the proper @acronym{MML} secure tag to instruct the | |
960 @acronym{MML} engine to perform that operation when the message is | |
961 actually sent. They may perform other operations too, such as locating | |
962 and retrieving a @acronym{S/MIME} certificate of the person you wish to | |
963 send encrypted mail to. When the mml parsing engine converts your | |
964 @acronym{MML} into a properly encoded @acronym{MIME} message, the secure | |
965 tag will be replaced with either a part or a multipart tag. If your | |
966 message contains other mml parts, a multipart tag will be used; if no | |
967 other parts are present in your message a single part tag will be used. | |
968 This way, message mode will do the Right Thing (TM) with | |
969 signed/encrypted multipart messages. | |
970 | |
971 Since signing and especially encryption often is used when sensitive | |
972 information is sent, you may want to have some way to ensure that your | |
973 mail is actually signed or encrypted. After invoking the above | |
974 sign/encrypt commands, it is possible to preview the raw article by | |
975 using @kbd{C-u C-c RET P} (@code{mml-preview}). Then you can | |
976 verify that your long rant about what your ex-significant other or | |
977 whomever actually did with that funny looking person at that strange | |
978 party the other night, actually will be sent encrypted. | |
979 | |
980 @emph{Note!} Neither @acronym{PGP/MIME} nor @acronym{S/MIME} encrypt/signs | |
981 RFC822 headers. They only operate on the @acronym{MIME} object. Keep this | |
982 in mind before sending mail with a sensitive Subject line. | |
983 | |
984 By default, when encrypting a message, Gnus will use the | |
985 ``signencrypt'' mode, which means the message is both signed and | |
986 encrypted. If you would like to disable this for a particular | |
987 message, give the @code{mml-secure-message-encrypt-*} command a prefix | |
988 argument, e.g., @kbd{C-u C-c C-m c p}. | |
989 | |
990 Actually using the security commands above is not very difficult. At | |
991 least not compared with making sure all involved programs talk with each | |
992 other properly. Thus, we now describe what external libraries or | |
993 programs are required to make things work, and some small general hints. | |

995 @node Using S/MIME | |
996 @subsection Using S/MIME | |
997 | |
998 @emph{Note!} This section assume you have a basic familiarity with | |
999 modern cryptography, @acronym{S/MIME}, various PKCS standards, OpenSSL and | |
1000 so on. | |
1001 | |
1002 The @acronym{S/MIME} support in Message (and @acronym{MML}) require | |
1003 OpenSSL. OpenSSL performs the actual @acronym{S/MIME} sign/encrypt | |
1004 operations. OpenSSL can be found at @uref{http://www.openssl.org/}. | |
1005 OpenSSL 0.9.6 and later should work. Version 0.9.5a cannot extract mail | |
1006 addresses from certificates, and it insert a spurious CR character into | |
1007 @acronym{MIME} separators so you may wish to avoid it if you would like | |
1008 to avoid being regarded as someone who send strange mail. (Although by | |
1009 sending @acronym{S/MIME} messages you've probably already lost that | |
1010 contest.) | |
1011 | |
1012 To be able to send encrypted mail, a personal certificate is not | |
1013 required. Message (@acronym{MML}) need a certificate for the person to whom you | |
1014 wish to communicate with though. You're asked for this when you type | |
1015 @kbd{C-c C-m c s}. Currently there are two ways to retrieve this | |
1016 certificate, from a local file or from DNS. If you chose a local | |
1017 file, it need to contain a X.509 certificate in @acronym{PEM} format. | |
1018 If you chose DNS, you're asked for the domain name where the | |
1019 certificate is stored, the default is a good guess. To my belief, | |
1020 Message (@acronym{MML}) is the first mail agent in the world to support | |
1021 retrieving @acronym{S/MIME} certificates from DNS, so you're not | |
1022 likely to find very many certificates out there. At least there | |
1023 should be one, stored at the domain @code{simon.josefsson.org}. LDAP | |
1024 is a more popular method of distributing certificates, support for it | |
1025 is planned. (Meanwhile, you can use @code{ldapsearch} from the | |
1026 command line to retrieve a certificate into a file and use it.) | |
1027 | |
1028 As for signing messages, OpenSSL can't perform signing operations | |
1029 without some kind of configuration. Especially, you need to tell it | |
1030 where your private key and your certificate is stored. @acronym{MML} | |
1031 uses an Emacs interface to OpenSSL, aptly named @code{smime.el}, and it | |
1032 contain a @code{custom} group used for this configuration. So, try | |
1033 @kbd{M-x customize-group RET smime RET} and look around. | |
1034 | |
1035 Currently there is no support for talking to a CA (or RA) to create | |
1036 your own certificate. None is planned either. You need to do this | |
1037 manually with OpenSSL or using some other program. I used Netscape | |
1038 and got a free @acronym{S/MIME} certificate from one of the big CA's on the | |
1039 net. Netscape is able to export your private key and certificate in | |
1040 PKCS #12 format. Use OpenSSL to convert this into a plain X.509 | |
1041 certificate in PEM format as follows. | |
1042 | |
1043 @example | |
1044 $ openssl pkcs12 -in ns.p12 -clcerts -nodes > key+cert.pem | |
1045 @end example | |
1046 | |
1047 The @file{key+cert.pem} file should be pointed to from the | |
1048 @code{smime-keys} variable. You should now be able to send signed mail. | |
1049 | |
1050 @emph{Note!} Your private key is now stored unencrypted in the file, | |
1051 so take care in handling it. Storing encrypted keys on the disk are | |
1052 supported, and Gnus will ask you for a passphrase before invoking | |
1053 OpenSSL. Read the OpenSSL documentation for how to achieve this. If | |
1054 you use unencrypted keys (e.g., if they are on a secure storage, or if | |
1055 you are on a secure single user machine) simply press @code{RET} at | |
1056 the passphrase prompt. | |
1057 | |
1058 @node Using PGP/MIME | |
1059 @subsection Using PGP/MIME | |
1060 | |
1061 @acronym{PGP/MIME} requires an external OpenPGP implementation, such | |
1062 as @uref{http://www.gnupg.org/, GNU Privacy Guard}. Pre-OpenPGP | |
1063 implementations such as PGP 2.x and PGP 5.x are also supported. One | |
1064 Emacs interface to the PGP implementations, PGG (@pxref{Top, ,PGG, | |
1065 pgg, PGG Manual}), is included, but Mailcrypt and Florian Weimer's | |
1066 @code{gpg.el} are also supported. @xref{PGP Compatibility}. | |
1067 | |
1068 @cindex gpg-agent | |
1069 Message internally calls GnuPG (the @command{gpg} command) to perform | |
1070 data encryption, and in certain cases (decrypting or signing for | |
1071 example), @command{gpg} requires user's passphrase. Currently the | |
1072 recommended way to supply your passphrase to @command{gpg} is to use the | |
1073 @command{gpg-agent} program. | |
1074 | |
1075 To use @command{gpg-agent} in Emacs, you need to run the following | |
1076 command from the shell before starting Emacs. | |
1077 | |
1078 @example | |
1079 eval `gpg-agent --daemon` | |
1080 @end example | |
1081 | |
1082 This will invoke @command{gpg-agent} and set the environment variable | |
1083 @code{GPG_AGENT_INFO} to allow @command{gpg} to communicate with it. | |
1084 It might be good idea to put this command in your @file{.xsession} or | |
1085 @file{.bash_profile}. @xref{Invoking GPG-AGENT, , , gnupg, Using the | |
1086 GNU Privacy Guard}. | |
1087 | |
1088 Once your @command{gpg-agent} is set up, it will ask you for a | |
1089 passphrase as needed for @command{gpg}. Under the X Window System, | |
1090 you will see a new passphrase input dialog appear. The dialog is | |
1091 provided by PIN Entry (the @command{pinentry} command), and as of | |
1092 version 0.7.2, @command{pinentry} cannot cooperate with Emacs on a | |
1093 single tty. So, if you are using a text console, you may need to put | |
1094 a passphrase into gpg-agent's cache beforehand. The following command | |
1095 does the trick. | |
1096 | |
1097 @example | |
1098 gpg --use-agent --sign < /dev/null > /dev/null | |
1099 @end example | |
1100 | |
1101 The Lisp variable @code{pgg-gpg-use-agent} controls whether to use | |
1102 @command{gpg-agent}. See also @xref{Caching passphrase, , , pgg, The | |
1103 PGG Manual}. | |
1104 | |
1105 | |
1106 @node PGP Compatibility | |
1107 @subsection Compatibility with older implementations | |
1108 | |
1109 @vindex gpg-temp-directory | |
1110 Note, if you are using the @code{gpg.el} you must make sure that the | |
1111 directory specified by @code{gpg-temp-directory} have permissions | |
1112 0700. | |
1113 | |
1114 Creating your own key is described in detail in the documentation of | |
1115 your PGP implementation, so we refer to it. | |
1116 | |
1117 If you have imported your old PGP 2.x key into GnuPG, and want to send | |
1118 signed and encrypted messages to your fellow PGP 2.x users, you'll | |
1119 discover that the receiver cannot understand what you send. One | |
1120 solution is to use PGP 2.x instead (i.e., if you use @code{pgg}, set | |
1121 @code{pgg-default-scheme} to @code{pgp}). If you do want to use | |
1122 GnuPG, you can use a compatibility script called @code{gpg-2comp} | |
1123 available from | |
1124 @uref{http://muppet.faveve.uni-stuttgart.de/~gero/gpg-2comp/}. You | |
1125 could also convince your fellow PGP 2.x users to convert to GnuPG. | |
1126 @vindex mml-signencrypt-style-alist | |
1127 As a final workaround, you can make the sign and encryption work in | |
1128 two steps; separately sign, then encrypt a message. If you would like | |
1129 to change this behavior you can customize the | |
1130 @code{mml-signencrypt-style-alist} variable. For example: | |
1131 | |
1132 @lisp | |
1133 (setq mml-signencrypt-style-alist '(("smime" separate) | |
1134 ("pgp" separate) | |
1135 ("pgpauto" separate) | |
1136 ("pgpmime" separate))) | |
1137 @end lisp | |
1138 | |
1139 This causes to sign and encrypt in two passes, thus generating a | |
1140 message that can be understood by PGP version 2. | |
1141 | |
1142 (Refer to @uref{http://www.gnupg.org/gph/en/pgp2x.html} for more | |
1143 information about the problem.) | |

1263 @code{mailabbrev} and @code{ecomplete}. If this variable is |
84305 | 1264 @code{nil}, no mail alias expansion will be performed. |
1265 | |
1266 @code{mailabbrev} works by parsing the @file{/etc/mailrc} and | |
1267 @file{~/.mailrc} files. These files look like: | |
1268 | |
1269 @example | |
1270 alias lmi "Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen <larsi@@ifi.uio.no>" | |
1271 alias ding "ding@@ifi.uio.no (ding mailing list)" | |
1272 @end example | |
1273 | |
1274 After adding lines like this to your @file{~/.mailrc} file, you should | |
1275 be able to just write @samp{lmi} in the @code{To} or @code{Cc} (and so | |
1276 on) headers and press @kbd{SPC} to expand the alias. | |
1277 | |
1278 No expansion will be performed upon sending of the message---all | |
1279 expansions have to be done explicitly. | |

1293 @findex ispell-message | |
1294 | |
1295 There are two popular ways to have Emacs spell-check your messages: | |
1296 @code{ispell} and @code{flyspell}. @code{ispell} is the older and | |
1297 probably more popular package. You typically first write the message, | |
1298 and then run the entire thing through @code{ispell} and fix all the | |
1299 typos. To have this happen automatically when you send a message, put | |
1300 something like the following in your @file{.emacs} file: | |
1301 | |
1302 @lisp | |
1303 (add-hook 'message-send-hook 'ispell-message) | |
1304 @end lisp | |
1305 | |
1306 @vindex ispell-message-dictionary-alist | |
1307 If you're in the habit of writing in different languages, this can be | |
1308 controlled by the @code{ispell-message-dictionary-alist} variable: | |
1309 | |
1310 @lisp | |
1311 (setq ispell-message-dictionary-alist | |
1312 '(("^Newsgroups:.*\\bde\\." . "deutsch8") | |
1313 (".*" . "default"))) | |
1314 @end lisp | |
1315 | |
1316 @code{ispell} depends on having the external @samp{ispell} command | |
1317 installed. | |
1318 | |
1319 The other popular method is using @code{flyspell}. This package checks | |
1320 your spelling while you're writing, and marks any mis-spelled words in | |
1321 various ways. | |
1322 | |
1323 To use @code{flyspell}, put something like the following in your | |
1324 @file{.emacs} file: | |
1325 | |
1326 @lisp | |
1327 (defun my-message-setup-routine () | |
1328 (flyspell-mode 1)) | |
1329 (add-hook 'message-setup-hook 'my-message-setup-routine) | |
1330 @end lisp | |

1333 installed. | |

1357 be---it's a combined news and mail agent. To be able to send combined |
84305 | 1358 messages, it has to generate all headers itself (instead of letting the |
1359 mail/news system do it) to ensure that mail and news copies of messages | |
1360 look sufficiently similar. | |

1375 The variables @code{message-required-headers}, | |
1376 @code{message-required-mail-headers} and | |
1377 @code{message-required-news-headers} specify which headers are | |
1378 required. | |
1379 | |
1380 Note that some headers will be removed and re-generated before posting, | |
1381 because of the variable @code{message-deletable-headers} (see below). | |
1382 | |
1383 @item message-draft-headers | |

1413 Headers in this list that were previously generated by Message will be | |

1415 to post it again to some other group, you naughty boy, so you jump back | |
1416 to the @code{*post-buf*} buffer, edit the @code{Newsgroups} line, and | |
1417 ship it off again. By default, this variable makes sure that the old | |
1418 generated @code{Message-ID} is deleted, and a new one generated. If | |
1419 this isn't done, the entire empire would probably crumble, anarchy would | |
1420 prevail, and cats would start walking on two legs and rule the world. | |
1421 Allegedly. | |

1430 @cindex Aw | |

1432 @cindex Re | |
1433 Responses to messages have subjects that start with @samp{Re: }. This | |
1434 is @emph{not} an abbreviation of the English word ``response'', but is | |
1435 Latin, and means ``in response to''. Some illiterate nincompoops have | |
1436 failed to grasp this fact, and have ``internationalized'' their software | |
1437 to use abominations like @samp{Aw: } (``antwort'') or @samp{Sv: } | |
1438 (``svar'') instead, which is meaningless and evil. However, you may | |
1439 have to deal with users that use these evil tools, in which case you may | |
1440 set this variable to a regexp that matches these prefixes. Myself, I | |
1441 just throw away non-compliant mail. | |
1442 | |
1443 Here's an example of a value to deal with these headers when | |
1444 responding to a message: | |
1445 | |
1446 @lisp | |
1447 (setq message-subject-re-regexp | |
1448 (concat | |
1449 "^[ \t]*" | |

1460 "\\(\\[[0-9]*\\]\\)" | |

1467 @item message-subject-trailing-was-query | |
1468 @vindex message-subject-trailing-was-query | |
1469 @vindex message-subject-trailing-was-ask-regexp | |
1470 @vindex message-subject-trailing-was-regexp | |
1471 Controls what to do with trailing @samp{(was: <old subject>)} in subject | |
1472 lines. If @code{nil}, leave the subject unchanged. If it is the symbol | |
1473 @code{ask}, query the user what to do. In this case, the subject is | |
1474 matched against @code{message-subject-trailing-was-ask-regexp}. If | |
1475 @code{message-subject-trailing-was-query} is @code{t}, always strip the | |
1476 trailing old subject. In this case, | |
1477 @code{message-subject-trailing-was-regexp} is used. | |
1478 | |
1479 @item message-alternative-emails | |
1480 @vindex message-alternative-emails | |
1481 Regexp matching alternative email addresses. The first address in the | |
1482 To, Cc or From headers of the original article matching this variable is | |
1483 used as the From field of outgoing messages, replacing the default From | |
1484 value. | |
1485 | |
1486 For example, if you have two secondary email addresses john@@home.net | |
1487 and john.doe@@work.com and want to use them in the From field when | |
1488 composing a reply to a message addressed to one of them, you could set | |
1489 this variable like this: | |
1490 | |
1491 @lisp | |
1492 (setq message-alternative-emails | |
1493 (regexp-opt '("john@@home.net" "john.doe@@work.com"))) | |
1494 @end lisp | |
1495 | |
1496 This variable has precedence over posting styles and anything that runs | |
1497 off @code{message-setup-hook}. | |
1498 | |
1499 @item message-allow-no-recipients | |
1500 @vindex message-allow-no-recipients | |
1501 Specifies what to do when there are no recipients other than | |
1502 @code{Gcc} or @code{Fcc}. If it is @code{always}, the posting is | |
1503 allowed. If it is @code{never}, the posting is not allowed. If it is | |
1504 @code{ask} (the default), you are prompted. | |
1505 | |
1506 @item message-hidden-headers | |
1507 @vindex message-hidden-headers | |
1508 A regexp, a list of regexps, or a list where the first element is | |
1509 @code{not} and the rest are regexps. It says which headers to keep | |
1510 hidden when composing a message. | |
1511 | |
1512 @lisp | |
1513 (setq message-hidden-headers | |
1514 '(not "From" "Subject" "To" "Cc" "Newsgroups")) | |

1587 @code{message-send-mail-function} to @code{smtpmail-send-it} and make | |
1588 sure to setup the @code{smtpmail} package correctly. An example: | |
1589 | |
1590 @lisp | |
1591 (setq message-send-mail-function 'smtpmail-send-it | |
1592 smtpmail-default-smtp-server "YOUR SMTP HOST") | |
1593 @end lisp | |
1594 | |
1595 To the thing similar to this, there is | |
1596 @code{message-smtpmail-send-it}. It is useful if your @acronym{ISP} | |
1597 requires the @acronym{POP}-before-@acronym{SMTP} authentication. | |
1598 @xref{POP before SMTP, , POP before SMTP, gnus, The Gnus Manual}. | |
1599 | |
84305 | 1600 @item message-mh-deletable-headers |
1601 @vindex message-mh-deletable-headers | |
1602 Most versions of MH doesn't like being fed messages that contain the | |
1603 headers in this variable. If this variable is non-@code{nil} (which is | |
1604 the default), these headers will be removed before mailing when sending | |
1605 messages via MH. Set it to @code{nil} if your MH can handle these | |
1606 headers. | |
1607 | |
1608 @item message-qmail-inject-program | |
1609 @vindex message-qmail-inject-program | |
1610 @cindex qmail | |
1611 Location of the qmail-inject program. | |
1612 | |
1613 @item message-qmail-inject-args | |
1614 @vindex message-qmail-inject-args | |
1615 Arguments passed to qmail-inject programs. | |
1616 This should be a list of strings, one string for each argument. It | |
1617 may also be a function. | |
1618 | |
1619 For e.g., if you wish to set the envelope sender address so that bounces | |
1620 go to the right place or to deal with listserv's usage of that address, you | |
1621 might set this variable to @code{'("-f" "you@@some.where")}. | |
1622 | |
1623 @item message-sendmail-f-is-evil | |
1624 @vindex message-sendmail-f-is-evil | |
1625 @cindex sendmail | |
1626 Non-@code{nil} means don't add @samp{-f username} to the sendmail | |
1627 command line. Doing so would be even more evil than leaving it out. | |
1628 | |
1629 @item message-sendmail-envelope-from | |
1630 @vindex message-sendmail-envelope-from | |
1631 When @code{message-sendmail-f-is-evil} is @code{nil}, this specifies | |
1632 the address to use in the @acronym{SMTP} envelope. If it is | |
1633 @code{nil}, use @code{user-mail-address}. If it is the symbol | |
1634 @code{header}, use the @samp{From} header of the message. | |
1635 | |
1636 @item message-mailer-swallows-blank-line | |
1637 @vindex message-mailer-swallows-blank-line | |
1638 Set this to non-@code{nil} if the system's mailer runs the header and | |
1639 body together. (This problem exists on SunOS 4 when sendmail is run | |
1640 in remote mode.) The value should be an expression to test whether | |
1641 the problem will actually occur. | |
1642 | |
1643 @item message-send-mail-partially-limit | |
1644 @vindex message-send-mail-partially-limit | |
1645 @cindex split large message | |
1646 The limitation of messages sent as message/partial. The lower bound | |
1647 of message size in characters, beyond which the message should be sent | |
1648 in several parts. If it is @code{nil}, the size is unlimited. | |

1655 | |
1656 @vindex message-required-news-headers | |
1657 @code{message-required-news-headers} a list of header symbols. These | |
1658 headers will either be automatically generated, or, if that's | |
1659 impossible, they will be prompted for. The following symbols are valid: | |
1660 | |
1661 @table @code | |
1662 | |
1663 @item From | |
1664 @cindex From | |
1665 @findex user-full-name | |
1666 @findex user-mail-address | |
1667 This required header will be filled out with the result of the | |
1668 @code{message-make-from} function, which depends on the | |
1669 @code{message-from-style}, @code{user-full-name}, | |
1670 @code{user-mail-address} variables. | |
1671 | |
1672 @item Subject | |
1673 @cindex Subject | |
1674 This required header will be prompted for if not present already. | |
1675 | |
1676 @item Newsgroups | |
1677 @cindex Newsgroups | |
1678 This required header says which newsgroups the article is to be posted | |
1679 to. If it isn't present already, it will be prompted for. | |
1680 | |
1681 @item Organization | |
1682 @cindex organization | |
1683 @vindex message-user-organization | |
1684 @vindex message-user-organization-file | |
1685 This optional header will be filled out depending on the | |
1686 @code{message-user-organization} variable. | |
1687 @code{message-user-organization-file} will be used if this variable is | |
1688 @code{t}. This variable can also be a string (in which case this string | |
1689 will be used), or it can be a function (which will be called with no | |
1690 parameters and should return a string to be used). | |
1691 | |
1692 @item Lines | |
1693 @cindex Lines | |
1694 This optional header will be computed by Message. | |
1695 | |
1696 @item Message-ID | |
1697 @cindex Message-ID | |
1698 @vindex message-user-fqdn | |
1699 @vindex mail-host-address | |
1700 @vindex user-mail-address | |
1701 @findex system-name | |
1702 @cindex Sun | |
1703 @cindex i-did-not-set--mail-host-address--so-tickle-me | |
1704 This required header will be generated by Message. A unique ID will be | |
1705 created based on the date, time, user name (for the local part) and the | |
1706 domain part. For the domain part, message will look (in this order) at | |
1707 @code{message-user-fqdn}, @code{system-name}, @code{mail-host-address} | |
1708 and @code{message-user-mail-address} (i.e. @code{user-mail-address}) | |
1709 until a probably valid fully qualified domain name (FQDN) was found. | |
1710 | |
1711 @item User-Agent | |
1712 @cindex User-Agent | |
1713 This optional header will be filled out according to the | |
1714 @code{message-newsreader} local variable. | |
1715 | |
1716 @item In-Reply-To | |
1717 This optional header is filled out using the @code{Date} and @code{From} | |
1718 header of the article being replied to. | |
1719 | |
1720 @item Expires | |
1721 @cindex Expires | |
1722 @vindex message-expires | |
1723 This extremely optional header will be inserted according to the | |
1724 @code{message-expires} variable. It is highly deprecated and shouldn't | |
1725 be used unless you know what you're doing. | |
1726 | |
1727 @item Distribution | |
1728 @cindex Distribution | |
1729 @vindex message-distribution-function | |
1730 This optional header is filled out according to the | |
1731 @code{message-distribution-function} variable. It is a deprecated and | |
1732 much misunderstood header. | |
1733 | |
1734 @item Path | |
1735 @cindex path | |
1736 @vindex message-user-path | |
1737 This extremely optional header should probably never be used. | |
1738 However, some @emph{very} old servers require that this header is | |
1739 present. @code{message-user-path} further controls how this | |
1740 @code{Path} header is to look. If it is @code{nil}, use the server name | |
1741 as the leaf node. If it is a string, use the string. If it is neither | |
1742 a string nor @code{nil}, use the user name only. However, it is highly | |
1743 unlikely that you should need to fiddle with this variable at all. | |
1744 @end table | |
1745 | |
1746 @findex yow | |
1747 @cindex Mime-Version | |
1748 In addition, you can enter conses into this list. The @sc{car} of this cons | |
1749 should be a symbol. This symbol's name is the name of the header, and | |
1750 the @sc{cdr} can either be a string to be entered verbatim as the value of | |
1751 this header, or it can be a function to be called. This function should | |
1752 return a string to be inserted. For instance, if you want to insert | |
1753 @code{Mime-Version: 1.0}, you should enter @code{(Mime-Version . "1.0")} | |
1754 into the list. If you want to insert a funny quote, you could enter | |
1755 something like @code{(X-Yow . yow)} into the list. The function | |
1756 @code{yow} will then be called without any arguments. | |
1757 | |
1758 If the list contains a cons where the @sc{car} of the cons is | |
1759 @code{optional}, the @sc{cdr} of this cons will only be inserted if it is | |
1760 non-@code{nil}. | |
1761 | |
1762 If you want to delete an entry from this list, the following Lisp | |
1763 snippet might be useful. Adjust accordingly if you want to remove | |
1764 another element. | |

1772 | |
1773 @table @code | |
1774 | |
1775 @item message-syntax-checks | |
1776 @vindex message-syntax-checks | |
1777 Controls what syntax checks should not be performed on outgoing posts. | |
1778 To disable checking of long signatures, for instance, add | |
1779 | |
1780 @lisp | |
1781 (signature . disabled) | |
1782 @end lisp | |

1834 Check for the existence of version and sendsys commands. | |
1835 @item shoot | |
1836 Check whether the domain part of the @code{Message-ID} header looks ok. | |
1837 @item shorten-followup-to | |

2081 For instance, if you're running Gnus and wish to insert a | |
2082 @samp{Mail-Copies-To} header in all your news articles and all messages | |
2083 you send to mailing lists, you could do something like the following: | |
2084 | |
2085 @lisp | |
2086 (defun my-message-header-setup-hook () | |
2087 (let ((group (or gnus-newsgroup-name ""))) | |

2089 (gnus-group-find-parameter group 'to-address) | |

2097 @item message-send-hook | |
2098 @vindex message-send-hook | |
2099 Hook run before sending messages. | |
2100 | |
2101 If you want to add certain headers before sending, you can use the | |
2102 @code{message-add-header} function in this hook. For instance: | |
2103 @findex message-add-header | |
2104 | |
2105 @lisp | |
2106 (add-hook 'message-send-hook 'my-message-add-content) | |

2109 (message-add-header "X-Whatever: no")) | |

2240 Message will generate new buffers with unique buffer names when you | |
2241 request a message buffer. When you send the message, the buffer isn't | |
2242 normally killed off. Its name is changed and a certain number of old | |
2243 message buffers are kept alive. | |

2249 Valid values include: | |
2250 | |
2251 @table @code | |
2252 @item nil | |
2253 Generate the buffer name in the Message way (e.g., *mail*, *news*, *mail | |
2254 to whom*, *news on group*, etc.) and continue editing in the existing | |
2255 buffer of that name. If there is no such buffer, it will be newly | |
2256 created. | |
2257 | |
2258 @item unique | |
2259 @item t | |
2260 Create the new buffer with the name generated in the Message way. This | |
2261 is the default. | |
2262 | |
2263 @item unsent | |
2264 Similar to @code{unique} but the buffer name begins with "*unsent ". | |
2265 | |
2266 @item standard | |
2267 Similar to @code{nil} but the buffer name is simpler like *mail | |
2268 message*. | |

2272 If this is a function, call that function with three parameters: The | |

2274 @code{nil}). The function should return the new buffer name. | |
2275 @end table | |
2276 | |
2277 The default value is @code{unique}. | |
2278 | |
2279 @item message-max-buffers | |
2280 @vindex message-max-buffers | |
2281 This variable says how many old message buffers to keep. If there are | |
2282 more message buffers than this, the oldest buffer will be killed. The | |
2283 default is 10. If this variable is @code{nil}, no old message buffers | |
2284 will ever be killed. | |
2285 | |
2286 @item message-send-rename-function | |
2287 @vindex message-send-rename-function | |
2288 After sending a message, the buffer is renamed from, for instance, | |
2289 @samp{*reply to Lars*} to @samp{*sent reply to Lars*}. If you don't | |
2290 like this, set this variable to a function that renames the buffer in a | |
2291 manner you like. If you don't want to rename the buffer at all, you can | |
2292 say: | |
2293 | |
2294 @lisp | |

2305 @node Message Actions | |

2307 | |
2308 When Message is being used from a news/mail reader, the reader is likely | |
2309 to want to perform some task after the message has been sent. Perhaps | |
2310 return to the previous window configuration or mark an article as | |
2311 replied. | |
2312 | |
2313 @vindex message-kill-actions | |
2314 @vindex message-postpone-actions | |
2315 @vindex message-exit-actions | |
2316 @vindex message-send-actions | |
2317 The user may exit from the message buffer in various ways. The most | |
2318 common is @kbd{C-c C-c}, which sends the message and exits. Other | |
2319 possibilities are @kbd{C-c C-s} which just sends the message, @kbd{C-c | |
2320 C-d} which postpones the message editing and buries the message buffer, | |
2321 and @kbd{C-c C-k} which kills the message buffer. Each of these actions | |
2322 have lists associated with them that contains actions to be executed: | |
2323 @code{message-send-actions}, @code{message-exit-actions}, | |
2324 @code{message-postpone-actions}, and @code{message-kill-actions}. | |
2325 | |
2326 Message provides a function to interface with these lists: | |
2327 @code{message-add-action}. The first parameter is the action to be | |
2328 added, and the rest of the arguments are which lists to add this action | |
2329 to. Here's an example from Gnus: | |
2330 | |
2331 @lisp | |
2332 (message-add-action | |
2333 `(set-window-configuration ,(current-window-configuration)) | |
2334 'exit 'postpone 'kill) | |
2335 @end lisp | |
2336 | |
2337 This restores the Gnus window configuration when the message buffer is | |

2340 An @dfn{action} can be either: a normal function, or a list where the | |
2341 @sc{car} is a function and the @sc{cdr} is the list of arguments, or | |
2342 a form to be @code{eval}ed. | |

2349 Message uses virtually only its own variables---older @code{mail-} | |
2350 variables aren't consulted. To force Message to take those variables | |
2351 into account, you can put the following in your @file{.emacs} file: | |
2352 | |
2353 @lisp | |
2354 (require 'messcompat) | |
2355 @end lisp | |
2356 | |
2357 This will initialize many Message variables from the values in the | |
2358 corresponding mail variables. | |

2372 To determine where a message is to go, the following algorithm is used | |
2373 by default. | |
2374 | |
2375 @table @dfn | |
2376 @item reply | |
2377 A @dfn{reply} is when you want to respond @emph{just} to the person who | |
2378 sent the message via mail. There will only be one recipient. To | |
2379 determine who the recipient will be, the following headers are | |
2380 consulted, in turn: | |
2381 | |
2382 @table @code | |
2383 @item Reply-To | |
2384 | |
2385 @item From | |
2386 @end table | |
2387 | |
2388 | |
2389 @item wide reply | |
2390 A @dfn{wide reply} is a mail response that includes @emph{all} entities | |

2391 mentioned in the message you are responding to. All mailboxes from the |
84305 | 2392 following headers will be concatenated to form the outgoing |
2393 @code{To}/@code{Cc} headers: | |
2394 | |
2395 @table @code | |
2396 @item From | |
2397 (unless there's a @code{Reply-To}, in which case that is used instead). | |
2398 | |
2399 @item Cc | |
2400 | |
2401 @item To | |
2402 @end table | |
2403 | |
2404 If a @code{Mail-Copies-To} header is present, it will also be included | |
2405 in the list of mailboxes. If this header is @samp{never}, that means | |
2406 that the @code{From} (or @code{Reply-To}) mailbox will be suppressed. | |
2407 | |
2408 | |
2409 @item followup | |
2410 A @dfn{followup} is a response sent via news. The following headers | |
2411 (listed in order of precedence) determine where the response is to be | |
2412 sent: | |
2413 | |
2414 @table @code | |
2415 | |
2416 @item Followup-To | |
2417 | |
2418 @item Newsgroups | |
2419 | |
2420 @end table | |
2421 | |
2422 If a @code{Mail-Copies-To} header is present, it will be used as the | |
2423 basis of the new @code{Cc} header, except if this header is | |
2424 @samp{never}. | |
