;; sc.el -- Version 2.3 (used to be supercite.el)

;; ========== Introduction ==========
;; Citation and attribution package for various GNU emacs news and
;; electronic mail reading subsystems.  This version of supercite should
;; work with Rmail and GNUS as found in Emacs 19.  It may also work with
;; VM 4.40+ and MH-E 3.7.

;; This package does not do any yanking of messages, but instead
;; massages raw reply buffers set up by the reply/forward functions in
;; the news/mail subsystems. Therefore, such useful operations as
;; yanking and citing portions of the original article (instead of the
;; whole article) are not within the ability or responsibility of
;; supercite.

;; ========== Disclaimer ==========
;; This software is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
;; but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY.  No author or distributor, nor any
;; author's past, present, or future employers accepts responsibility
;; to anyone for the consequences of using it or for whether it serves
;; any particular purpose or works at all, unless he says so in
;; writing.

;; Some of this software was written as part of the supercite author's
;; official duty as an employee of the United States Government and is
;; thus not subject to copyright.  You are free to use that particular
;; software as you wish, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY WHATSOEVER.  It
;; would be nice, though if when you use any of this or other freely
;; available code, you give due credit to the author.

;; Other parts of this code were written by other people.  Wherever
;; possible, credit to that author, and the copy* notice supplied by
;; the author are included with that code. The supercite author is no
;; longer an employee of the U.S. Government so the GNU Public Licence
;; should be considered in effect for all enhancements and bug fixes
;; performed by the author.

;; ========== Credits and Thanks ==========
;; This package was derived from the Superyank 1.11 package as posted
;; to the net.  Superyank 1.11 was inspired by code and ideas from
;; Martin Neitzel and Ashwin Ram.  Supercite version 2.3 has evolved
;; through the comments and suggestions of the supercite mailing list
;; which consists of many authors and users of the various mail and
;; news reading subsystems.

;; Many folks on the supercite mailing list have contributed their
;; help in debugging, making suggestions and supplying support code or
;; bug fixes for the previous versions of supercite.  I want to thank
;; everyone who helped, especially (in no particular order):
;;
;; Mark D. Baushke, Khalid Sattar, David Lawrence, Chris Davis, Kyle
;; Jones, Kayvan Sylvan, Masanobu Umeda, Dan Jacobson, Piet van
;; Oostrum, Hamish (H.I.) Macdonald, and Joe Wells.
;;
;; I don't mean to leave anyone out. All who have helped have been
;; appreciated.

;; ========== Getting Started ==========
;; Here is a quick guide to getting started with supercite. The
;; information contained here is mostly excerpted from the more
;; detailed explanations given in the accompanying README file.
;; Naturally, there are many customizations you can do to give your
;; replies that personalized flair, but the instructions in this
;; section should be sufficient for getting started.

;; First, to connect supercite to any mail/news reading subsystem, put
;; this in your .emacs file:
;;
;; (setq mail-yank-hooks 'sc-cite-original)  ; for old mail agents
;; (setq mh-yank-hooks   'sc-cite-original)  ; for MH-E only
;; (add-hook 'mail-citation-hook 'sc-cite-original) ; for newer mail agents
;;
;; If supercite is not pre-loaded into your emacs session, you should
;; add the following autoload:
;;
;; (autoload 'sc-cite-original "sc" "Supercite 2.3" t)
;;
;; Finally, if you want to customize supercite, you should do it in a
;; function called my-supercite-hook and:
;;
;; (setq sc-load-hook 'my-supercite-hook)
