149 If you want the replies to go to the @code{Sender} instead of the

150 @code{From}, you could do something like this:

169 This function can also return a list. In that case, each list element

parents:

170 should be a cons, where the car should be the name of an header
Dave Love <fx@gnu.org>

Dave Love <fx@gnu.org>

1204 and @kbd{C-c C-k} which kills the message buffer. Each of these actions
Dave Love <fx@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
1205 have lists associated with them that contains actions to be executed:
Dave Love <fx@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
1206 @code{message-send-actions}, @code{message-exit-actions},
Dave Love <fx@gnu.org>
parents:

1209 Message provides a function to interface with these lists:
Dave Love <fx@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
1210 @code{message-add-action}. The first parameter is the action to be
Dave Love <fx@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
1211 added, and the rest of the arguments are which lists to add this action
Dave Love <fx@gnu.org>
parents:
diff changeset
1212 to. Here's an example from Gnus:

1214 @lisp

parents:

1233 variables aren't consulted. To force Message to take those variables
Dave Love <fx@gnu.org>
parents:

1234 into account, you can put the following in your @code{.emacs} file:
