(mail-header-extract, mail-header-format): Doc fix.

;;; feedmail.el --- assist other email packages to massage outgoing messages
;;; This file is in the public domain.

;;; Commentary:

;; A replacement for parts of Emacs' sendmail.el (specifically,
;; it's what handles your outgoing mail after you hit C-c C-c in mail
;; mode).  See below for a list of additional features, including the
;; ability to queue messages for later sending.  If you are using
;; fakemail as a subprocess, you can switch to feedmail and eliminate
;; the use of fakemail.  feedmail works with recent versions of
;; Emacs (mostly, but not exclusively, tested against 19.34 on
;; Win95; some testing on 20.x) and XEmacs (tested with 20.4 and
;; later betas).  It probably no longer works with Emacs 18,
;; though I haven't tried that in a long time.  Sorry, no manual yet
;; in this release.  Look for one with the next release.

;; As far as I'm concerned, anyone can do anything they want with
;; this specific piece of code.  No warranty or promise of support is
;; offered.  This code is hereby released into the public domain.

;; Thanks: My thanks to the many people who have sent me suggestions
;;    and fixes over time, as well as those who have tested many beta
;;    iterations.  Some are cited in comments in code fragments below,
;;    but that doesn't correlate well with the list of folks who have
;;    actually helped me along the way.

;; If you use feedmail, I invite you to send me some email about it.
;; I appreciate feedback about problems you find or suggestions for
;; improvements or added features (even though I can't predict when
;; I'll incorporate changes).  It's also OK with me if you send me a
;; note along the lines of "I use feedmail and find it useful" or "I
;; tried feedmail and didn't find it useful, so I stopped using it".
;;
;; It is most useful, when sending a bug report, if you tell me what
;; version of Emacs you are using, what version of feedmail you are
;; using, and what versions of other email-related elisp packages you
;; are using.  If in doubt about any of that, send the bug report
;; anyhow.
;;
;; =====
;; A NOTE TO THOSE WHO WOULD CHANGE THIS CODE...  Since it is PD,
;; you're within your rights to do whatever you want.  If you do
;; publish a new version with your changes in it, please (1) insert
;; lisp comments describing the changes, (2) insert lisp comments
;; that clearly delimit where your changes are, (3) email me a copy
;; (I can't always consistently follow the relevant usenet groups),
;; and (4) use a version number that is based on the version you're
;; changing along with something that indicates you changed it.  For
;; example,
;;
;;        (defconst feedmail-patch-level "123")
;;        (defconst feedmail-patch-level "123-XYZ-mods")
;;
;; The point of the last item, of course, is to try to minimize
;; confusion.  Odds are good that if your idea makes sense to me that
;; it will show up in some future version of feedmail, though it's
;; hard to say when releases will tumble out.
;; =====
;;
;; This file requires the mail-utils library.
;;
;; This file requires the smtpmail library if you use
;; feedmail-buffer-to-smtpmail.
;;
;; This file requires the custom library.  Unfortunately, there are
;; two incompatible versions of the custom library.  If you don't have
;; custom or you have the old version, this file will still load and
;; work properly.  If you don't know what custom is all about and want
;; to edit your user option elisp variables the old fashioned way,
;; just imagine that all the "defcustom" stuff you see below is really
;; "defvar", and ignore everthing else.  For info about custom, see
;; <URL:http://www.dina.kvl.dk/~abraham/custom/>.
;;
;; This code does in elisp a superset of the stuff that used to be done
;; by the separate program "fakemail" for processing outbound email.
;; In other words, it takes over after you hit "C-c C-c" in mail mode.
;; By appropriate setting of options, you can still use "fakemail",
;; or you can even revert to sendmail (which is not too popular
;; locally).  See the variables at the top of the elisp for how to
;; achieve these effects (there are more features than in this bullet
;; list, so trolling through the variable and function doc strings may
;; be worth your while):
;;
;;    --- you can park outgoing messages into a disk-based queue and
;;        stimulate sending them all later (handy for laptop users);
;;        there is also a queue for draft messages
;;
;;    --- you can get one last look at the prepped outbound message and
;;        be prompted for confirmation
;;
;;    --- removes Bcc:/Resent-Bcc: headers after getting address info
;;
;;    --- does smart filling of address headers
;;
;;    --- calls a routine to process Fcc: lines and removes them
;;
;;    --- empty headers are removed
;;
;;    --- can force From: or Sender: line
;;
;;    --- can generate a Message-Id: line
;;
;;    --- can generate a Date: line; the date can be the time the
;;        message was written or the time it is being sent
;;
;;    --- strips comments from address info (both "()" and "<>" are
;;        handled via a call to mail-strip-quoted-names); the
;;        comments are stripped in the simplified address list given
;;        to a subprocess, not in the headers in the mail itself
;;        (they are left unchanged, modulo smart filling)
;;
;;    --- error info is pumped into a normal buffer instead of the
;;        minibuffer
;;
;;    --- just before the optional prompt for confirmation, lets you
;;        run a hook on the prepped message and simplified address
;;        list
;;
;;    --- you can specify something other than /bin/mail for the
;;        subprocess
;;
;;    --- you can generate/modify an X-Mailer: message header
;;
;; After a long list of options below, you will find the function
;; feedmail-send-it. Hers's the best way to use the stuff in this
;; file:
;;
;; Save this file as feedmail.el somewhere on your elisp
;; loadpath; byte-compile it.  Put the following lines somewhere in
;; your ~/.emacs stuff:
;;
;;     (setq send-mail-function 'feedmail-send-it)
;;     (autoload 'feedmail-send-it "feedmail")
;;
;; If you plan to use the queue stuff, also use this:
;;
;;     (setq feedmail-enable-queue t)
;;     (autoload 'feedmail-run-the-queue "feedmail")
;;     (autoload 'feedmail-run-the-queue-no-prompts "feedmail")
;;     (setq auto-mode-alist (cons '("\\.fqm$" . mail-mode) auto-mode-alist))
;;
;; If you are using the desktop.el library to restore your sessions, you might
;; like to add the suffix ".fqm" to the list of non-saved things via the variable
;; desktop-files-not-to-save.
;;
;; If you are planning to call feedmail-queue-reminder from your .emacs or
;; something similar, you might need this:
;;
;;     (autoload 'feedmail-queue-reminder "feedmail")
;;
;; If you ever use rmail-resend and queue messages, you should do this:
;;
;;     (setq feedmail-queue-alternative-mail-header-separator "")
;;
;; If you want to automatically spell-check messages, but not when sending
;; them from the queue, you could do something like this:
;;
;;     (autoload 'feedmail-mail-send-hook-splitter "feedmail")
;;     (add-hook 'mail-send-hook 'feedmail-mail-send-hook-splitter)
;;     (add-hook 'feedmail-mail-send-hook 'ispell-message)
;;
;; If you are using message-mode to compose and send mail, feedmail will
;; probably work fine with that (someone else tested it and told me it worked).
;; Follow the directions above, but make these adjustments instead:
;;
;;     (setq message-send-mail-function 'feedmail-send-it)
;;     (add-hook 'message-mail-send-hook 'feedmail-mail-send-hook-splitter)
;;
;; I think the LCD is no longer being updated, but if it were, this
;; would be a proper LCD record.  There is an old version of
;; feedmail.el in the LCD archive.  It works but is missing a lot of
;; features.

things could be accomplished by affecting the order of message headers
in the outgoing message.  Some people use Bcc: as a way of getting
their own \"come back\" copy of each message they send.  If Bcc:
addresses are not handled first, there can be substantial delays in
seeing the message again.  Some configurations of sendmail, for example,
seem to try to deliver to each addressee at least once, immediately

line, but you can achieve that with a fiddle-plex 'replace action.
NB: it makes no sense to use the value t since there is no sensible
default for Sender:.

If not nil, it may be a string, a fiddle-plex, or a function which
returns either nil, t, a string, or a fiddle-plex (or, in fact,
another function, but let's not be ridiculous).  If a string, it
should be just the contents of the header, not the name of the header
itself nor the trailing newline.  If a function, it will be called
with no arguments.  For an explanation of fiddle-plexes, see the
documentation for the variable feedmail-fiddle-plex-blurb.  In all
cases the name element of the fiddle-plex is ignored and is hardwired
by feedmail to either \"X-Sender\" or \"X-Resent-Sender\".

You can probably leave this nil, but if you feel like using it, a good
value would be a string of a fully-qualified domain name form of your
address.  For example, \"[e-mail] (WJCarpenter)\".  The Sender:

be happy with it).  May be nil, in which case nothing in particular is
done with respect to From: lines.  By design, will not replace an
existing From: line, but you can achieve that with a fiddle-plex 'replace

A good value would be a string fully-qualified domain name form of
your address.  For example, \"[e-mail] (WJCarpenter)\".  The
default value of this variable uses the standard elisp variable
`user-mail-address' which should be set on every system but has a decent
chance of being wrong.  It also honors `mail-from-style'.  Better to set
this variable explicitly to the string you want or find some other way
to arrange for the message to get a From: line."

(defcustom feedmail-deduce-envelope-from t
  "*If non-nil, deduce message envelope \"from\" from header From: or Sender:.
In other words, if there is a Sender: header in the message, temporarily
change the value of `user-mail-address' to be the same while the message
is being sent.  If there is no Sender: header, use the From: header,
if any.  Address values are taken from the actual message just before
it is sent, and the process is independent of the values of
feedmail-from-line and/or feedmail-sender-line.

There are many and good reasons for having the message header
From:/Sender: be different from the message envelope \"from\"
information.  However, for most people and for most circumstances, it
is usual for them to be the same (this is probably especially true for
the case where the user doesn't understand the difference between the
two in the first place).

The idea behind this feature is that you can have everything set up
some normal way for yourself.  If for some reason you want to send a
message with another From: line, you can just type it at the top of

(defconst feedmail-fiddle-plex-blurb nil
  "A fiddle-plex is a concise way of specifying header field fiddling.
It is a list of up to 4 elements: NAME, VALUE, ACTION, FOLDING.  The element
VALUE can also be a list sometimes.

NAME is the name of the header field to be fiddled with.  Although case
doesn't matter in looking for headers, case of NAME is preserved when a header
is inserted via fiddling.  It shouldn't include the trailing colon.

VALUE is either nil, a simple string, a function returning nil or a string, or,
as described below for ACTION `combine', a list of up to three values.

ACTION describes the nature of the fiddling to be done.  Possibilities
for ACTION (default is `supplement'):

  `supplement'  Leave other like fields as-is, insert this one.

  `replace'     Delete other like fields, if any, and insert this one.

  `create'      Insert this one only if no like field exists.

  `combine'     Combine aggregate values of like fields with this one.
                In this case, VALUE has a special form.  It is a list
                of three items: VAL-PRE, VAL-LIKE, and VAL-POST.
                VAL-PRE and VAL-POST are strings or nil.  VAL-LIKE may
                be either a string or a function (it may also be nil,
                but there's not much point to that).

                Values of like header fields are aggregated, leading and
                trailing whitespace is removed, and embedded
                whitespace is left as-is.  If there are no like
                fields, or the aggregate value is an empty string,
                VAL-LIKE is not used.  Else, if VAL-LIKE is a function,
                it is called with two arguments: NAME and the
                aggregate like values.  Else, if VAL-LIKE is a string, it is
                used as a format string where a single \%s will be
                replaced by the aggregate values of like fields.

                VAL-PRE, the results of using VAL-LIKE, and VAL-POST
                are concatenated, and the result, if not nil and not
                an empty string, is used as the new value for the
                field.  Although this description sounds a bit
                complicated, the idea is to provide a mechanism for
                combining the old value with a new value in a flexible
                way.  For example, if you wanted to add a new value to
                an existing header field by adding a semi-colon and
                then starting the new value on a continuation line,
                you might specify this:

                 (nil \"%s;\\n\\t\" \"This is my new value\")

FOLDING can be nil, in which case VALUE is used as-is.  If FOLDING is
non-nil, feedmail \"smart filling\" is done on VALUE just before
insertion.")
