+
+; To use this:
+;  Make sure you have the variable SPOOK-PHRASES-FILE pointing to 
+;  a valid phrase file. Phrase files are in the same format as
+;  zippy's yow.lines (ITS-style LINS format). 
+;  Strings are terminated by ascii 0 characters. Leading whitespace ignored.
+;  Everything up to the first \000 is a comment.
+;
+;  Just before sending mail, do M-x spook.
+;  A number of phrases will be inserted into your buffer, to help
+;  give your message that extra bit of attractiveness for automated
+;  keyword scanners.
