;;; Commentary:

; Steve Strassmann <straz@media-lab.media.mit.edu> didn't write
; this, and even if he did, he really didn't mean for you to use it
; in an anarchistic way.
;
; To use this:
;  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.  Help defeat the NSA trunk trawler!

;;; Code:

(require 'cookie)

; Variables
(defvar spook-phrases-file (concat data-directory "spook.lines")
   "Keep your favorite phrases here.")

(defvar spook-phrase-default-count 15
   "Default number of phrases to insert")

;;;###autoload
(defun spook ()
  "Adds that special touch of class to your outgoing mail."
  (interactive)
  (cookie-insert
   spook-phrases-file
   spook-phrase-default-count
   "Checking authorization"
   "Checking authorization...Approved"))

;; Note: the implementation that used to take up most of this file has
;; been cleaned up and generalized and now resides in cookie.el.

;;; spook.el ends here
