Add index entries around each paragraph rather than depend on entries from beginning of node. Doing so ensures that index entries are less likely to be forgotten if text is cut and pasted, and are necessary anyway if the references are on a separate page. It seems that makeinfo is now (v. 4.8) only producing one index entry per node, so there is no longer any excuse not to. Use subheading instead of heading. The incorrect use of heading produced very large fonts in Info--as large as the main heading. (From Bill Wohler): MH-E never did appear in Emacs 21--MH-E versions 6 and 7 appeared *around* the time of these Emacs releases.

;;; Commentary:

;; This package allows to hand over a buffer to be sent off
;; via the system's designated e-mail client.
;; Note that the e-mail client will display the contents of the buffer
;; again for editing.
;; The e-mail client is taken to be whoever handles a mailto: URL
;; via `browse-url'.
;; Mailto: URLs are composed according to RFC2368.

;; MIME bodies are not supported - we rather expect the mail client
;; to encode the body and add, for example, a digital signature.
;; The mailto URL RFC calls for "short text messages that are
;; actually the content of automatic processing."
;; So mailclient.el is ideal for situations where an e-mail is
;; generated automatically, and the user can edit it in the
;; mail client (e.g. bug-reports).

;; To activate:
;; (setq send-mail-function 'mailclient-send-it) ; if you use `mail'

;;; Code:

(require 'mail-utils) ;; for mail-fetch-field
