+
+;;; Commentary:
+
+;; THIS IS BETA SOFTWARE! This back end should not mess up or
+;; even delete your mails, but having a backup is always a good idea.
+
+;; This is a back end for using the mairix search engine with
+;; Gnus.  Mairix is a tool for searching words in locally stored
+;; mail.  Mairix is very fast which allows using it efficiently for
+;; "smart folders", e.g. folders which are associated with search
+;; queries.  Of course, you can also use this back end just for
+;; calling mairix with some search query.
+;;
+;; Mairix is written by Richard Curnow.  More information can be found at
+;; http://www.rpcurnow.force9.co.uk/mairix/
+;;
+;; For details about setting up mairix&Gnus&nnmairix.el, look at the
+;; emacswiki:
+;;
+;; http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/GnusMairix
+;;
+;; The newest version of nnmairix.el can be found at
+;; 
+;; http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/emacs/nnmairix.el
+
+;; For impatient people, here's the setup in a nutshell:
+;;
+;; This back end requires an installed mairix binary which is
+;; configured to index your mail folder.  You don't have to specify a
+;; search folder (but it does no harm, either).  Visit the man page of
+;; mairix and mairixrc for details.
+;;
+;; Put nnmairix.el into your search path and "(require 'nnmarix)" into
+;; your .gnus.  Then call nnmairix-create-default-group (or 'G b
+;; c'). This function will ask for all necessary information to create
+;; a mairix server in Gnus with the default search folder.  This
+;; default search folder will be used for all temporary searches: call
+;; nnmairix-search ('G b s') and enter a mairix query (like
+;; f:test@example.com). To create a mairix group for one specific
+;; search query, use 'G b g'.  See the emacswiki or the source for more
+;; information.
+
+;; Commentary on the code: nnmairix sits between Gnus and the "real"
+;; back end which handles the mail (currently nnml, nnimap and
+;; nnmaildir were tested). I know this is all a bit hacky, but so far
+;; it works for me.  This is the first back end I've written for Gnus,
+;; so I'd appreciate any comments, suggestions, bug reports (and, of
+;; course, patches) for improving nnmairix.
+
+;; nnmairix does not use an active file, since I wanted to contain the
+;; back end "inside Gnus" as much as possible without the need of an
+;; external file.  It stores the query/folder information in the group
+;; parameters instead.  This also implies that once you kill a mairix
+;; group, it's gone for good.  I don't think that this is really
+;; problematic, since I don't see the need in unsubscribing and
+;; re-subscribing search groups
+
+;; Every mairix server is "responsible" for one mairix installation,
+;; i.e. you can have several mairix servers for different mairix
+;; configurations.  Not that I think anyone will actually do this, but
+;; I thought it would be a "nice to have feature"...
+
+;; KNOWN BUGS:
+;; * When using Maildir: path and filename of a mail can change due to
+;; reading/replying/etc.  This can lead to dangling symlinks in
+;; nnmairix groups and it depends on the back end how well it deals
+;; with that (some IMAP servers out there may not be amused).  Update the
+;; database ('G b u') and the group to fix it.
+;; * Mairix does only support us-ascii characters.
+
+;; TODO/MISSING FEATURES:
+;; * Possibility to propagate flags like seen, replied, ticked
+;;   to original message
+;; * Support of more back ends (nnmh, nnfolder, nnmbox...)?
+;; * Maybe use an active file instead of group parameters?
+;; * Use "-a" when updating groups which are not newly created
+ 
+;;; Changelog:
+;;
+;; 02/06/2008 - version 0.5
+;; 
+;;    * New function: nnmairix-goto-original-article. Uses the
+;;      registry or the mail file path for determining original group.
+;; 
+;;    * Deal with empty Xref header
+;;
+;;    * Changed summary mode keybindings since the old ones were
+;;      already taken
+;;
+;;   (Thanks to Tassilo Horn and Ted Zlatanov for their help)
+;;
+;; 01/07/2008 - version 0.4
+;;
+;;    * New/fixed doc strings and code cleanup.
+;;
+;; 18/11/2007 - version 0.3
+;;
+;;    * Fixed bugs when dealing with nnml and native servers
+;;     
+;;    * Make variables customizable
+;;
+;; 10/10/2007 - version 0.2
+;;
+;;    * Use nnml-directory/directory server variables for nnml and
+;;    nnmaildir backends as path for search folders. This way it
+;;    becomes independent of 'base' setting in .mairixirc (but not for
+;;    nnimap).
+;;
+;;    * As a result: Changed nnmairix-backend-to-server so that user
+;;    is asked when more than one nnmairix server exists and we do not
+;;    know which one is responsible for current backend.
+;;
+;;    * Rename files when using nnml backends so that there are no
+;;    holes in article numbers. This should fix all problems regarding
+;;    wrong article counts with nnml.
+;;
+;;    * More commands for creating queries (using widgets or the
+;;    minibuffer).
+;;
+;;    * Fixed bug in nnmairix-create-search-group-from-message
+;;
+;;    * Changed copyright to FSF
+;;
+;;      (Thanks to Georg C. F. Greve and Bastien for suggestions and
+;;      ideas!)
