** mairix.el is an interface to mairix, a free tool for indexing and searching locally stored mail. It allows you to query mairix and display the search results with Rmail, Gnus and VM. Note that there is an existing Gnus back end, nnmairix.el, which should be used with Maildir/MH setups.

;;;
;;; Quick hack to use emacs as mail editor.  There are a *bunch* of
;;; changes scattered throughout emacs to make this work, namely:
;;; (1) mod to sysdep.c to allow emacs to attach to a process other
;;;     than the one that originally spawned it.
;;; (2) mod to kepteditor.com to define the logical emacs_parent_pid
;;;     which is what sysdep.c looks for, and define the logical
;;;     emacs_command_args which contains the command line
;;; (3) mod to re-parse command line arguments from emacs_command_args
;;;     then execute them as though emacs were just starting up.
