address@hidden Unix commands, Emacs
address@hidden preface
+
+This manual introduces another interface to the MH mail system that is
+accessible through the GNU Emacs editor, namely, @emph{MH-E}. MH-E is
+easy to use. I don't assume that you know GNU Emacs or even MH at this
+point, since I didn't know either of them when I discovered MH-E.
+However, MH-E was the tip of the iceberg, and I discovered more and
+more niceties about GNU Emacs and address@hidden Now I'm fully hooked on both
of
+them.
+
+The MH-E package is distributed with GNU address@hidden
address@hidden of MH-E will appear in GNU Emacs 22.1. It is supported
+in GNU Emacs 21, as well as XEmacs 21 (except for versions
+21.5.9-21.5.16). It is compatible with MH versions 6.8.4 and higher,
+all versions of nmh, and GNU mailutils 1.0 and higher.}, so you
+shouldn't have to do anything special to use it. This manual covers
+MH-E version @value{VERSION}. To help you decide which version you
+have, see @ref{Getting Started}.
+
address@hidden help-with-tutorial
address@hidden C-h t
+
+If you don't already use GNU Emacs but want to learn more, you can
+read an online tutorial by starting GNU Emacs and typing @kbd{C-h t}
+(@code{help-with-tutorial}). (To learn about this notation, see
address@hidden) If you want to take the plunge, consult the
address@hidden
address@hidden Emacs Manual},
address@hidden iftex
address@hidden
address@hidden, , GNU Emacs Manual, emacs, GNU Emacs Manual},
address@hidden ifinfo
address@hidden
address@hidden://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/,
address@hidden Emacs Manual}},
address@hidden ifhtml
+from the Free Software Foundation.
+
+If more information is needed, you can go to the Unix manual pages of
+the individual MH commands. When the name is not obvious, I'll guide
+you to a relevant MH manual page that describes the action more fully.

address@hidden MH book
address@hidden info
address@hidden C-h i
+
+This manual is available in both Info and online formats. The Info
+version is distributed with Emacs and can be accessed with the
address@hidden command (@samp{info mh-e}) or within Emacs (@kbd{C-h i
+m mh-e @key{RET}}). The online version is available at
address@hidden://mh-e.sourceforge.net/manual/, SourceForge}. Another great
+online resource is the book @uref{http://www.ics.uci.edu/~mh/book/,
address@hidden & nmh: Email for Users & Programmers}} (also known as
address@hidden MH book}).
+
+I hope you enjoy this manual! If you have any comments, or suggestions
+for this document, please let me know.

+
+If you're an experienced Emacs user, you can skip the following

+section (@pxref{Getting Started}).

address@hidden MH commands
address@hidden Unix commands
address@hidden commands
address@hidden commands, MH
address@hidden commands, Unix
address@hidden commands, shell
address@hidden functions
address@hidden shell commands
+
+In general, @dfn{functions} in this text refer to Emacs Lisp functions
+that one would call from within Emacs Lisp programs (for example,
address@hidden(mh-inc-folder)}). On the other hand, @dfn{commands} are those
+things that are run by the user, such as @kbd{i} or @kbd{M-x
+mh-inc-folder}. Programs outside of Emacs are specifically called MH
+commands, shell commands, or Unix commands.
+
address@hidden conventions, key names
address@hidden key names
+
+The conventions for key names are as follows:
+
address@hidden @kbd
address@hidden C-x
+Hold down the @key{CTRL} (Control) key and press the @kbd{x} key.
address@hidden -------------------------
address@hidden M-x
+Hold down the @key{META} or @key{ALT} key and press the @kbd{x} key.
+
+Since some keyboards don't have a @key{META} key, you can generate
address@hidden, for example, by pressing @key{ESC} (Escape),
address@hidden it}, and then pressing the @kbd{x} key.
address@hidden -------------------------
address@hidden @key{RET}
+Press the @key{RETURN} or @key{ENTER} key. This is normally used to
+complete a command.
address@hidden -------------------------
address@hidden @key{SPC}
+Press the space bar.
address@hidden -------------------------
address@hidden @key{TAB}
+Press the @key{TAB} key.
address@hidden -------------------------
address@hidden @key{DEL}
+Press the @key{DELETE} key.
address@hidden -------------------------
address@hidden @key{BS}
+Press the @key{BACKSPACE} address@hidden you are using Version 20 or
+earlier of Emacs, you will need to use the @key{DEL} key.}.
address@hidden table
+
address@hidden Emacs, prefix argument
address@hidden prefix argument
address@hidden C-u
+
+A @dfn{prefix argument} allows you to pass an argument to any Emacs
+function. To pass an argument, type @kbd{C-u} before the Emacs command
+or keystroke. Numeric arguments can be passed as well. For example, to
+insert five f's, use @kbd{C-u 5 f}. There is a default of four when
+using @kbd{C-u}, and you can use multiple prefix arguments to provide
+arguments of powers of four. To continue our example, you could insert
+four f's with @kbd{C-u f}, 16 f's with @kbd{C-u C-u f}, 64 f's with
address@hidden C-u C-u f}, and so on. Numeric and valueless negative
+arguments can also be inserted with the @key{META} key. Examples
+include @kbd{M-5} to specify an argument of 5, or @kbd{M--} which
+specifies a negative argument with no particular value.
+
address@hidden 1
address@hidden @strong{NOTE}
+
address@hidden
+The prefix @kbd{C-u} or @kbd{M-} is not necessary in MH-E's MH-Folder
+mode (@pxref{Reading Mail Tour}). In this mode, simply enter the
+numerical argument before entering the command.

+Hooks} in @cite{The GNU Emacs Manual}
address@hidden ifhtml
+for a description about @dfn{normal hooks} and @dfn{abnormal hooks}.
+MH-E uses normal hooks in nearly all cases, so you can assume that we
+are talking about normal hooks unless we explicitly mention that a
+hook is abnormal. We also follow the conventions described in that
+section: the name of the abnormal hooks end in @code{-hooks} and all
+the rest of the MH-E hooks end in @code{-hook}. You can add hooks with
+either @code{customize-option} or @code{add-hook}.

address@hidden address@hidden
+
+There are several other terms that are used in Emacs that you should
+know. The @dfn{point} is where the cursor currently is. You can save
+your current place in the file by setting a @dfn{mark}. This operation
+is useful in several ways. The mark can be later used when defining a
address@hidden, which is the text between the point and mark. Many
+commands operate on regions, such as those for deleting text or
+filling paragraphs. A mark can be set with @kbd{C-@@} (or
address@hidden@key{SPC}}).

address@hidden TAB
+
+The @dfn{minibuffer} is the bottom line of the Emacs window, where all
+prompting and multiple-character input is directed. You can use
address@hidden to enter values such as folders. Completion means
+that Emacs fills in text for you when you type @key{SPC} or @key{TAB}.
+A second @key{SPC} or @key{TAB} will list all possibilities at that
+point.

+Note that @key{SPC} cannot be used for completing filenames and
+folders.
+
address@hidden help-with-tutorial
address@hidden C-h t
address@hidden M-x
+
+The minibuffer is also where you enter Emacs function names after
+typing @kbd{M-x}. For example, in the preface, I mentioned that you
+could obtain help with @kbd{C-h t} (@code{help-with-tutorial}). What
+this means is that you can get a tutorial by typing either @kbd{C-h t}
+or @kbd{M-x help-with-tutorial}. In the latter case, you are prompted
+for @samp{help-with-tutorial} in the minibuffer after typing
address@hidden
+
address@hidden ~
+
+The @samp{~} notation in filenames represents your home directory.
+This notation is used by many shells including @command{bash},
address@hidden, and @command{csh}. It is analogous to the environment
+variable @samp{$HOME}. For example, @file{~/.emacs} can be written
address@hidden/.emacs} or using the absolute path as in
address@hidden/home/wohler/.emacs} instead.

address@hidden case of trouble:} Emacs can be interrupted at any time with
address@hidden For example, if you've started a command that requests that
+you enter something in the minibuffer, but then you change your mind,
+type @kbd{C-g} and you'll be back where you started. If you want to
+exit Emacs entirely, use @kbd{C-x C-c}.

+
address@hidden MH-E, versions
address@hidden history
address@hidden versions of MH-E
+
+Because there are many old versions of MH-E out there, it is important
+to know which version you have. I'll be talking about @w{Version 8}
+which is pretty close to @w{Version 6} and @w{Version 7}. It differs
+from @w{Version 4} and @w{Version 5} and is vastly different from
address@hidden 3}. @xref{History}.
+
address@hidden mh-version
+
+To determine which version of MH-E that you have, enter @kbd{M-x
+mh-version @key{RET}}. Hopefully it says that you're running
address@hidden @value{VERSION}} which is the latest version as of this
+printing.
+
+If your version is much older than this, please consider upgrading.
+You can have your system administrator upgrade the system-wide
+version, or you can install your own personal version. It's really
+quite easy. @xref{Getting MH-E}, for instructions for getting and
+installing MH-E.
+
+If the @code{mh-version} command displays @samp{No MH variant
address@hidden very old versions of MH-E, you may get the error
+message, @samp{Cannot find the commands `inc' and `mhl' and the file
+`components'} if MH-E can't find MH. In this case, you need to update
+MH-E, and you may need to install MH too. However, newer versions of
+MH-E are better at finding MH if it is on your system.}, then you need
+to install MH or tell MH-E where to find MH.
+
address@hidden Debian
address@hidden nmh
address@hidden GNU mailutils
+
+If you don't have MH on your system already, you must install a
+variant of MH. The Debian mh-e package does this for you automatically
+(@pxref{Getting MH-E}). Most people use
address@hidden://www.nongnu.org/nmh/, nmh}, but you may be interested in
+trying out @uref{http://www.gnu.org/software/mailutils/, GNU
+mailutils}, which supports IMAP. Your GNU/Linux distribution probably
+has packages for both of these.
+
address@hidden @command{install-mh}
address@hidden MH commands, @command{install-mh}
address@hidden MH book
+
+If you've never run MH before, you need to run @command{install-mh}
+from the shell before you continue. This sets up your personal MH
address@hidden the section
address@hidden@value{MH-BOOK-HOME}/../overall/setup.html, Setting Up MH} in the
+MH book.}. If you don't, you'll be greeted with the error message:
address@hidden MH and run install-mh before running MH-E}. This is all
+you need to know about MH to use MH-E, but the more you know about MH,
+the more you can leverage its power. See the
address@hidden@value{MH-BOOK-HOME}/../, MH book} to learn more about MH.
+
address@hidden @samp{Path:} MH profile component
address@hidden MH profile
address@hidden MH profile component
address@hidden MH profile component, @samp{Path:}
+
+Your MH environment includes your @dfn{MH profile} which is found in
+the file @file{~/.mh_profile}. This file contains a number of @dfn{MH
+profile components}. For example, the @samp{Path:} MH profile
+component contains the path to your mail directory, which is
address@hidden/Mail} by default.

address@hidden MH commands, @command{mhparam}
address@hidden exec-path
address@hidden mh-path
address@hidden mh-sys-path
address@hidden mh-variant
address@hidden mh-variant-in-use
+
+There are several options MH-E uses to interact with your MH
+installation. The option @code{mh-variant} specifies the variant used
+by MH-E (@pxref{Options}). The default setting of this option is
address@hidden which means that MH-E will automatically choose the
+first of nmh, MH, or GNU mailutils that it finds in the directories
+listed in @code{mh-path} (which you can customize),
address@hidden, and @code{exec-path}. If MH-E can't find MH at
+all, you may have to customize @code{mh-path} and add the directory in
+which the command @command{mhparam} is located. If, on the other hand,
+you have both nmh and mailutils installed (for example) and
address@hidden was initialized to nmh but you want to use
+mailutils, then you can set @code{mh-variant} to @samp{mailutils}.
+
address@hidden mh-flists-present-flag
address@hidden mh-lib
address@hidden mh-lib-progs
address@hidden mh-progs
+
+When @code{mh-variant} is changed, MH-E resets @code{mh-progs},
address@hidden, @code{mh-lib-progs}, @code{mh-flists-present-flag}, and
address@hidden accordingly.

+
+In addition to setting variables that point to MH itself, MH-E also
+sets a handful of variables that point to where you keep your mail.
+During initialization, the function @code{mh-find-path} sets
address@hidden from your @samp{Path:} MH profile component (but
+defaults to @samp{Mail} if one isn't present), @code{mh-draft-folder}
+from @samp{Draft-Folder:}, @code{mh-unseen-seq} from

+There are many commands, but don't get intimidated. There are command
+summaries at the beginning of each chapter. In case you have or would
+like to rebind the keys, the command summaries also list the
+associated Emacs Lisp function. Furthermore, even if you're stranded
+on a desert island with a laptop and are without your manuals, you can
+get a summary of all these commands with GNU Emacs online help: use
address@hidden m} (@code{describe-mode}) for a brief summary of commands,

+help appears in a buffer called @samp{*MH-E Help*}
+(@pxref{Miscellaneous}).} (@kbd{C-c ?} in MH-Letter mode), or @kbd{C-h
+i} to read this manual via Info. The online help is quite good; try
+running @kbd{C-h C-h}. This brings up a list of available help topics,
+one of which displays the documentation for a given key (like @kbd{C-h
+k C-n}). Another useful help feature is to view the manual section
+that describes a given key (such as @kbd{C-h K i}). In addition,
+review @ref{Conventions}, if any of the GNU Emacs conventions are
+strange to you.
+
+In addition to all of the commands, it is also possible to reconfigure
+MH-E to fit the needs of even the most demanding user. The following
+chapters also describe all of the options, show the defaults, and make
+recommendations for customization.
+
+However, when customizing your mail environment, first try to change
+what you want in MH, and only change MH-E if changing MH is not
+possible. That way you will get the same behavior inside and outside
+GNU Emacs. Note that MH-E does not provide hooks for customizations
+that can be done in MH; this omission is intentional.

+
+Options can also hold boolean values. In Emacs Lisp, the boolean
+values are @code{nil}, which means false, and @code{t}, which means
+true. The @code{customize-option} function makes it easy to change
+boolean values; simply click on the toggle button in the customize
+buffer to switch between @samp{on} (@code{t}) and @samp{off}
+(@code{nil}). For example, try setting @code{mh-bury-show-buffer-flag}
+to @samp{off} to keep the MH-Show buffer at the top of the buffer
+stack. Use the @samp{State} combo box and choose @samp{Set for Current
+Session} to see how the option affects the show buffer. Then choose
+the @samp{Erase Customization} menu item to reset the option to the
+default, which places the MH-Show buffer at the bottom of the buffer

+
address@hidden mh-mhl-format-file, example

+The text usually says to turn on an option by setting it to a

address@hidden ranges
+
+Many commands that operate on individual messages, such as
address@hidden or @code{mh-refile-msg} take a @code{RANGE}
+argument. This argument can be used in several ways.
+
address@hidden C-u, with ranges
+
+If you provide the prefix argument @kbd{C-u} to these commands, then
+you will be prompted for the message range. This can be any valid MH
+range which can include messages, sequences (@pxref{Sequences}), and
+the abbreviations (described in the @command{mh}(1) man page):
+
address@hidden @samp
address@hidden <num1>-<num2>
+Indicates all messages in the range <num1> to <num2>, inclusive. The
+range must be nonempty.
address@hidden -------------------------
address@hidden <num>:N
address@hidden <num>:+N
address@hidden <num>:-N
+Up to N messages beginning with (or ending with) message num. Num may
+be any of the predefined symbols: first, prev, cur, next or last.
address@hidden -------------------------
address@hidden first:N
address@hidden prev:N
address@hidden next:N
address@hidden last:N
+The first, previous, next or last messages, if they exist.
address@hidden -------------------------
address@hidden all
+All of the messages.
address@hidden table
+
+For example, a range that shows all of these things is @samp{1 2 3
+5-10 last:5 unseen}.
+
address@hidden transient-mark-mode
+
+If the option @code{transient-mark-mode} is turned on and you set a
+region in the MH-Folder buffer, then the MH-E command will perform the
+operation on all messages in that region.
+
address@hidden @samp{mh-range} customization group
address@hidden customization group, @samp{mh-range}
+
+The @samp{mh-range} customization group contains a single option which

address@hidden mh-interpret-number-as-range-flag
+On means interpret a number as a range (default: @samp{on}).
address@hidden vtable
+
address@hidden mh-interpret-number-as-range-flag
+
+Since one of the most frequent ranges used is @samp{last:N}, MH-E will
+interpret input such as @samp{200} as @samp{last:200} if the
address@hidden option is on (which is the
+default). If you need to scan just the message 200, then use the range
address@hidden:1} or @samp{200-200}.

address@hidden mh-default-folder-for-message-function
+
+You can set the option @code{mh-default-folder-for-message-function}
+to a function that provides a default folder for the message to be
+refiled. When this function is called, the current buffer contains the
+message being refiled and point is at the start of the message. This
+function should return the default folder as a string with a leading
address@hidden sign. It can also return @code{nil} so that the last folder
+name is used as the default, or an empty string to suppress the
+default entirely.
+
+Otherwise, the name of the destination folder is derived from the

+
address@hidden
address@hidden mh-default-folder-list
address@hidden
+The folder name associated with the first address found in the list
address@hidden is used. Each element in this list

+that @kbd{i} will display the @samp{+inbox} buffer, even if there
+isn't any new mail. You can incorporate mail from any file into the

address@hidden MH commands, @command{inc}
address@hidden mh-inc-prog
address@hidden mh-progs
+
+The name of the program that incorporates new mail is stored in
address@hidden; it is @code{"inc"} by default. This program
+generates a one-line summary for each of the new messages. Unless it
+is an absolute pathname, the file is assumed to be in the
address@hidden directory (@pxref{Getting Started}). You may also link
+a file to @command{inc} that uses a different format (see
address@hidden(5), and sections
address@hidden@value{MH-BOOK-HOME}/reapre.html, Reading Mail: inc show next
+prev} and @address@hidden/mhstr.html, MH Format Strings} in
+the MH book). You'll then need to modify several variables
+appropriately (@pxref{Scan Line Formats}).
+
address@hidden mh-inc-spool-list
+
+You can use the @code{mh-inc-spool-list} variable to direct MH-E to
+retrieve mail from arbitrary spool files other than your system
+mailbox, file it in folders other than your @samp{+inbox}, and assign
+key bindings to incorporate this mail.

+
+The command @key{RET} (@code{mh-show}) displays the message that the
+cursor is on while @kbd{Mouse-2} (@code{mh-show-mouse}) displays the
+message that the mouse cursor is on. If the message is already
+displayed, it scrolls to the beginning of the message. Use @key{SPC}
+(@code{mh-page-msg}) and @key{BS} (@code{mh-previous-page}) to move
+forwards and backwards one page at a time through the message. You can
+give either of these commands a prefix argument that specifies the
+number of lines to scroll (such as @kbd{10 @key{SPC}}). The @key{SPC}
+command will also show the next undeleted message if it is used at the
+bottom of a message. MH-E normally hides a lot of the superfluous
+header fields that mailers add to a message, but if you wish to see
+all of them, use the command @kbd{,} (comma;
address@hidden).
+
address@hidden mh-show-maximum-size
+
+The option @code{mh-show-maximum-size} provides an opportunity to skip
+over large messages which may be slow to load. The default value of 0

+customizing the associated face: @code{mh-show-to}, @code{mh-show-cc},
address@hidden, @code{mh-show-date}, and @code{mh-show-subject}.
+The face @code{mh-show-header} is used to deemphasize the other, less

address@hidden (which it is by default). The
+header fields listed in the option
address@hidden are hidden, although you can
+check off any field that you would like to see. Header fields that you
+would like to hide that aren't listed can be added to the option
address@hidden with a couple of caveats. Regular
+expressions are not allowed. Unique fields should have a @samp{:}
+suffix; otherwise, the element can be used to render invisible an
+entire class of fields that start with the same prefix. If you think a
+header field should be generally ignored, report a bug (@pxref{Bug
+Reports}).

address@hidden @samp{X-Face:} header field
address@hidden @samp{X-Image-URL:} header field
address@hidden mh-show-use-xface-flag
+
+MH-E can display the content of @samp{Face:}, @samp{X-Face:}, and
address@hidden:} header fields. If any of these fields occur in the
+header of your message, the sender's face will appear in the
address@hidden:} header field. If more than one of these fields appear,
+then the first field found in the order @samp{Face:}, @samp{X-Face:},
+and @samp{X-Image-URL:} will be used. The option
address@hidden is used to turn this feature on and off.
+This feature will be turned on by default if your system supports it.
+
+The first header field used, if present, is the Gnus-specific
address@hidden:} address@hidden @samp{Face:} field appeared in GNU
+Emacs 21 and XEmacs. For more information, see

+Next is the traditional @samp{X-Face:} header address@hidden
+display of this field requires the
address@hidden://ftp.cs.indiana.edu/pub/faces/compface/compface.tar.Z,
address@hidden program}. Recent versions of XEmacs have internal
+support for @samp{X-Face:} images. If your version of XEmacs does not,
+then you'll need both @command{uncompface} and the
address@hidden://ftp.jpl.org/pub/elisp/, @samp{x-face} package}.}. MH-E
+renders the foreground and background of the image using the
+associated attributes of the face @code{mh-show-xface}.

address@hidden program} to fetch the image and the @command{convert}
+program from the @uref{http://www.imagemagick.org/, ImageMagick
+suite}.}. Of the three header fields this is the most efficient in
+terms of network usage since the image doesn't need to be transmitted
+with every single mail. The option @code{mh-fetch-x-image-url}
+controls the fetching of the @samp{X-Image-URL:} header field image
+with the following values:
+
address@hidden @samp
address@hidden Ask Before Fetching
+You are prompted before the image is fetched. MH-E will remember your
+reply and will either use the already fetched image the next time the
+same URL is encountered or silently skip it if you didn't fetch it the
+first time. This is a good setting.
address@hidden -------------------------
address@hidden Never Fetch
+Images are never fetched and only displayed if they are already
+present in the cache. This is the default.
address@hidden table
+
+There isn't a value of @samp{Always Fetch} for privacy and DOS (denial
+of service) reasons. For example, fetching a URL can tip off a spammer
+that you've read his email (which is why you shouldn't blindly answer
+yes if you've set this option to @samp{Ask Before Fetching}). Someone
+may also flood your network and fill your disk drive by sending a
+torrent of messages, each specifying a unique URL to a very large
+file.
+
address@hidden @file{.mhe-x-image-cache}
address@hidden files, @file{.mhe-x-image-cache}

+The cache of images is found in the directory

+
address@hidden @command{mhl}
address@hidden MH commands, @command{mhl}
address@hidden mh-mhl-format-file
+
+Normally MH-E takes care of displaying messages itself (rather than
+calling an MH program to do the work). If you'd rather have
address@hidden display the message (within MH-E), change the option
address@hidden from its default value of @samp{Use Default
+mhl Format (Printing Only)}. You can set this option to @samp{Use
+Default mhl Format} to get the same output as you would get if you ran
address@hidden from the shell. If you have a format file that you want
+MH-E to use, you can set this option to @samp{Specify an mhl Format
+File} and enter the name of your format file (@command{mhl}(1) or
+section @address@hidden/shomes.html#Usisho, Using mhl} in
+the MH book tells you how to write one). Your format file should
+specify a non-zero value for @samp{overflowoffset} to allow MH-E to
+parse the header. Note that @command{mhl} is always used for printing
+and forwarding; in this case, the value of @code{mh-mhl-format-file}
+is consulted if you have specified a format file.
+
address@hidden citations, highlighting
address@hidden highlighting citations
address@hidden mh-highlight-citation-style
+
+If the sender of the message has cited other messages in his message,
+then MH-E will highlight these citations to emphasize the sender's
+actual response. The option @code{mh-highlight-citation-style} can be
+customized to change the highlighting style. The @samp{Multicolor}
+method uses a different color for each indentation while the
address@hidden method highlights all citations in red. To disable
+highlighting of citations entirely, choose @samp{None}.

+
+Email addresses and URLs in the message are highlighted if the option
address@hidden is on, which it is by default. To view
+the web page for a highlighted URL or to send a message using a
+highlighted email address, use @kbd{Mouse-2} or @kbd{C-c @key{RET}}

address@hidden underline, showing
address@hidden gnus-emphasis-alist
address@hidden mh-decode-mime-flag
address@hidden mh-graphical-emphasis-flag
address@hidden mh-graphical-smileys-flag
+
+It is a long standing custom to inject body language using a
+cornucopia of punctuation, also known as the @dfn{smileys}. MH-E can
+render these as graphical widgets if the option
address@hidden is turned on, which it is by default.
+Smileys include patterns such as :-) and ;-). Similarly, a few
+typesetting features are indicated in ASCII text with certain
+characters. If your terminal supports it, MH-E can render these
+typesetting directives naturally if the option
address@hidden is turned on, which it is by
+default. For example, _underline_ will be
address@hidden
address@hidden
+<u>underlined</u>,
address@hidden html
address@hidden ifhtml
address@hidden
+underlined,
address@hidden ifnothtml
+*bold* will appear in @b{bold}, /italics/ will appear in @i{italics},
+and so on. See the option @code{gnus-emphasis-alist} for the whole
+list. Both of these options are disabled if the option
address@hidden is turned off. @xref{Viewing Attachments}.
+
address@hidden signature separator
address@hidden vCard
address@hidden mh-show-signature
+
+MH-E normally renders signatures and vCards in italics so that the
+body of the message stands out more. MH-E depends on the presence of
+the @dfn{signature separator} (@code{"-- "}) to do this. You can also
+customize the face @code{mh-show-signature} so the appearance of the
+signature block is more to your liking.
+
address@hidden mh-show-hook
address@hidden mh-show-mode-hook
+
+Two hooks can be used to control how messages are displayed. The first
+hook, @code{mh-show-mode-hook}, is called early on in the process of
+the message display. It is usually used to perform some action on the
+message's content. The second hook, @code{mh-show-hook}, is the last
+thing called after messages are displayed. It's used to affect the
+behavior of MH-E in general or when @code{mh-show-mode-hook} is too
+early.
+

address@hidden mh-decode-mime-flag
+
+MH-E can handle attachments as well if the Gnus @samp{mm-decode}
+package is present. If so, the option @code{mh-decode-mime-flag} will
+be on. Otherwise, you'll see the @sc{mime} body parts rather than text
+or attachments. There isn't much point in turning off the option
address@hidden; however, you can inspect it if it appears
+that the body parts are not being interpreted correctly or toggle it
+with the command @kbd{;} (semicolon;
address@hidden) to view the raw message. This
+option also controls the display of quoted-printable messages and
+other graphical widgets. @xref{Viewing}.
+
address@hidden buttons
+
+Attachments in MH-E are indicated by @dfn{buttons} like this:
+
address@hidden
+[1. image/jpeg; foo.jpg]...
address@hidden smallexample
+
address@hidden mh-next-button
address@hidden mh-press-button
address@hidden mh-prev-button
address@hidden @key{RET}
address@hidden K @key{TAB}
address@hidden K address@hidden
address@hidden Mouse-1
address@hidden Mouse-2
+
+To view the contents of the button, use either @kbd{Mouse-1} or
address@hidden on the button or @key{RET} (@code{mh-press-button}) when
+the cursor is over the button. This command is a toggle so if you use
+it again on the same attachment, it is hidden. If Emacs does not know
+how to display the attachment, then Emacs offers to save the
+attachment in a file. To move the cursor to the next button, use the
+command @kbd{K @key{TAB}} (@code{mh-next-button}). If the end of the
+buffer is reached then the search wraps over to the start of the
+buffer. To move the cursor to the previous button, use the command
address@hidden address@hidden (@code{mh-prev-button}). If the beginning of the
+buffer is reached then the search wraps over to the end of the buffer.
+
address@hidden attachments, viewing
address@hidden viewing attachments
address@hidden mh-folder-toggle-mime-part
address@hidden K v
+
+Another way to view the contents of a button is to use the command
address@hidden v} (@code{mh-folder-toggle-mime-part}). This command displays
+(or hides) the attachment associated with the button under the cursor.
+If the cursor is not located over a button, then the cursor first
+moves to the next button, wrapping to the beginning of the message if
+necessary. This command has the advantage over the previous commands
+of working from the MH-Folder buffer. You can also provide a numeric
+prefix argument (as in @kbd{4 K v}) to view the attachment labeled
+with that number. If Emacs does not know how to display the
+attachment, then Emacs offers to save the attachment in a file.
+
address@hidden @file{/etc/mailcap}
address@hidden files, @file{/etc/mailcap}
address@hidden mailcap-mime-info
address@hidden mh-display-with-external-viewer
address@hidden K e
+
+If Emacs does not know how to view an attachment, you could save it
+into a file and then run some program to open it. It is easier,
+however, to launch the program directly from MH-E with the command
address@hidden e} (@code{mh-display-with-external-viewer}). While you'll most
+likely use this to view spreadsheets and documents, it is also useful
+to use your browser to view HTML attachments with higher fidelity than
+what Emacs can provide. This command displays the attachment
+associated with the button under the cursor. If the cursor is not
+located over a button, then the cursor first moves to the next button,
+wrapping to the beginning of the message if necessary. You can provide
+a numeric prefix argument (as in @kbd{4 K e}) to view the attachment
+labeled with that number. This command tries to provide a reasonable
+default for the viewer by calling the Emacs function
address@hidden This function usually reads the file
address@hidden/etc/mailcap}.
+
address@hidden attachments, saving
address@hidden saving attachments
address@hidden mh-folder-save-mime-part
address@hidden K o
+
+Use the command @kbd{K o} (@code{mh-folder-save-mime-part}) to save
+attachments (the mnemonic is ``output''). This command saves the
+attachment associated with the button under the cursor. If the cursor
+is not located over a button, then the cursor first moves to the next
+button, wrapping to the beginning of the message if necessary. You can
+also provide a numeric prefix argument (as in @kbd{3 K o}) to save the
+attachment labeled with that number. This command prompts you for a
+filename and suggests a specific name if it is available.

address@hidden MH commands, @command{mhstore}
address@hidden mh-mime-save-parts
address@hidden K a
address@hidden mh-mime-save-parts-default-directory
+
+You can save all of the attachments at once with the command @kbd{K a}
+(@code{mh-mime-save-parts}). The attachments are saved in the
+directory specified by the option
address@hidden unless you use a prefix
+argument (as in @kbd{C-u K a}) in which case you are prompted for the
+directory. These directories may be superseded by MH profile
+components, since this function calls on @command{mhstore}
+(@command{mhn}) to do the work.
+
address@hidden mh-mime-save-parts-default-directory
+
+The default value for the option
address@hidden is @samp{Prompt Always} so
+that you are always prompted for the directory in which to save the
+attachments. However, if you usually use the same directory within a
+session, then you can set this option to @samp{Prompt the First Time}
+to avoid the prompt each time. you can make this directory permanent
+by choosing @samp{Directory} and entering the directory's name.
+
address@hidden attachments, inline
address@hidden inline attachments
address@hidden mh-toggle-mime-buttons
address@hidden K t
address@hidden mh-display-buttons-for-inline-parts-flag
+
+The sender can request that attachments should be viewed inline so
+that they do not really appear like an attachment at all to the
+reader. Most of the time, this is desirable, so by default MH-E
+suppresses the buttons for inline attachments. On the other hand, you
+may receive code or HTML which the sender has added to his message as
+inline attachments so that you can read them in MH-E. In this case, it
+is useful to see the buttons so that you know you don't have to cut
+and paste the code into a file; you can simply save the attachment. If
+you want to make the buttons visible for inline attachments, you can
+use the command @kbd{K t} (@code{mh-toggle-mime-buttons}) to toggle
+the visibility of these buttons. You can turn on these buttons
+permanently by turning on the option
address@hidden
+
+MH-E cannot display all attachments inline however. It can display
+text (including @sc{html}) and images.

address@hidden header field, @samp{Content-Disposition:}
address@hidden inline images
address@hidden @samp{Content-Disposition:} header field
address@hidden mh-max-inline-image-height

+
+Some older mail programs do not insert the needed
address@hidden plumbing is the @samp{Content-Disposition:}
+header field.} to tell MH-E whether to display the attachments inline
+or not. If this is the case, MH-E will display these images inline if
+they are smaller than the window. However, you might want to allow
+larger images to be displayed inline. To do this, you can change the
+options @code{mh-max-inline-image-width} and
address@hidden from their default value of zero to
+a large number. The size of your screen is a good choice for these
+numbers.
+
address@hidden alternatives
address@hidden attachments, alternatives
address@hidden mh-display-buttons-for-alternatives-flag
+
+Sometimes, a mail program will produce multiple alternatives of an
+attachment in increasing degree of faithfulness to the original
+content. By default, only the preferred alternative is displayed. If
+the option @code{mh-display-buttons-for-alternatives-flag} is on, then
+the preferred part is shown inline and buttons are shown for each of
+the other alternatives.
+
address@hidden mm-discouraged-alternatives
+
+Many people prefer to see the @samp{text/plain} alternative rather
+than the @samp{text/html} alternative. To do this in MH-E, customize
+the option @code{mm-discouraged-alternatives}, and add
address@hidden/html}. The next best alternative, if any, will be shown.
+
address@hidden K i
address@hidden mh-folder-inline-mime-part
+
+You can view the raw contents of an attachment with the command @kbd{K
+i} (@code{mh-folder-inline-mime-part}). This command displays (or
+hides) the contents of the attachment associated with the button under
+the cursor verbatim. If the cursor is not located over a button, then
+the cursor first moves to the next button, wrapping to the beginning
+of the message if necessary. You can also provide a numeric prefix
+argument (as in @kbd{4 K i}) to view the attachment labeled with that
+number.

+
+If you're confused about which @code{mm-text-html-renderer} to use,

address@hidden @asis
address@hidden browser, @samp{w3m}
address@hidden @samp{w3m}
address@hidden Mouse-2
address@hidden S-Mouse-2
address@hidden @samp{w3m} 7
+The @samp{w3m} browser requires an external program. It's quick,
+produces pretty nice output, and best of all, it's the only browser
+that highlights links. These can be clicked with @kbd{Mouse-2} to view
+the content of the link in @samp{w3m} or with @kbd{S-Mouse-2} to view
+the content of the link in an external browser. The @samp{w3m} browser
+handles tables well and actually respects the table's width parameter
+(which can cause text to wrap if the author didn't anticipate that the
+page would be viewed in Emacs).
address@hidden -------------------------
address@hidden browser, @samp{w3m-standalone}
address@hidden @samp{w3m-standalone}
address@hidden @samp{w3m-standalone} 3
+This browser, along with @samp{nil} for the external browser, are the
+only choices that work without having to download a separate lisp
+package or external program. This browser is quick, but does not show
+links. It handles simple tables but some tables get rendered much
+wider than the Emacs frame. This browser was the only one not to
+handle the escape @samp{–} (it printed a @samp{?}), but it did
+render @samp{®}.
address@hidden -------------------------
address@hidden browser, @samp{links}
address@hidden @samp{links}
address@hidden @samp{links} 1
+The @samp{links} browser requires an external program. It's quick, and
+produces nicer output than @samp{lynx} on single column mails in
+tables. However, it doesn't show links and it doesn't do as nice a job
+on multi-column tables as some lines wrap. At least it fits in 80
+columns and thus seems better than @samp{w3} and
address@hidden Converts escapes such as @samp{®} to (R).
address@hidden -------------------------
address@hidden browser, @samp{lynx}
address@hidden @samp{lynx}
address@hidden @samp{lynx} 1
+The @samp{lynx} browser requires an external program. It's quick and
+produces pretty decent output but it doesn't show links. It doesn't
+seem to do multi-column tables which makes output much cleaner. It
+centers the output and wraps long lines more than most. Handles
address@hidden®}.
address@hidden -------------------------
address@hidden @samp{nil} 1
+This choice obviously requires an external browser. Like
address@hidden, it works out of the box. With this setting,
+HTML messages have a button for the body part which you can view with
address@hidden v} (@code{mh-folder-toggle-mime-part}).
address@hidden -------------------------
address@hidden browser, @samp{w3}
address@hidden @samp{w3}
address@hidden @samp{w3} 0
+This choice does not require an external program as all of the
+rendering is done in lisp. You do need to get the package separately.
+This browser is @strong{slow}, and doesn't appear to have been updated
+since 2001 and the author hasn't responded to my emails. It displays
+unknown tags instead of hiding them, so you get to see all the
+Microsoft crap in certain messages. Tends to make multi-column tables
+wider than even a full-screen Emacs can handle. Like @samp{w3m}, you
+can follow links, but you have to find them first as they are not
+highlighted. Performs well on single-column tables and handles escapes
+such as @samp{®}.
address@hidden -------------------------
address@hidden browser, @samp{html2text}
address@hidden @samp{html2text}
address@hidden @samp{html2text} 0
+The @samp{html2text} browser requires an external program. I noticed
+that it can do some nasty things with simple HTML mails (like filling
+the entire message as if it were one paragraph, including signature).
+On another message, it displayed half of the HTML tags for some
+reason.

+Another handy command is @kbd{D b} (@code{mh-burst-digest}). This
+command uses the MH command @address@hidden the section
address@hidden@value{MH-BOOK-HOME}/burdig.html, Bursting Messages} in the MH
+book.} to break out each message in the digest into its own message.
+Using this command, you can quickly delete unwanted messages, like
+this: Once the digest is split up, toggle out of MH-Folder Show mode
+with @kbd{t} (@pxref{Folders}) so that the scan lines fill the screen
+and messages aren't displayed. Then use @kbd{d} (@pxref{Reading Mail})
+to quickly delete messages that you don't want to read (based on the
address@hidden:} header field). You can also burst the digest to reply
+directly to the people who posted the messages in the digest. One
+problem you may encounter is that the @samp{From:} header fields are

address@hidden mh-ps-print-msg
address@hidden mh-ps-print-msg-file
address@hidden P f
address@hidden P p
address@hidden mh-lpr-command-format
address@hidden mh-print-background-flag
+
+To print messages in MH-E, use the command @kbd{P p}
+(@code{mh-ps-print-msg}). You can print all the messages in a range
+(as in @kbd{C-u P p 1 3 5-7 last:5 frombob @key{RET}},
address@hidden). You can also send the output to a file with @kbd{P f}
+(@code{mh-ps-print-msg-file}). This command will print inline text
+attachments but will not decrypt messages. However, when a message is
+displayed in an MH-Show buffer, then that buffer is used verbatim for
+printing with the caveat that only text attachments, if opened inline,
+are printed. Therefore, encrypted messages can be printed by showing
+and decrypting them first. The commands @kbd{P p} and @kbd{P f} do not
+use the options @code{mh-lpr-command-format} or
address@hidden, described below.
+
address@hidden mh-ps-print-toggle-color
address@hidden P C
address@hidden ps-print-color-p
+
+Colors are emulated on black-and-white printers with shades of gray.
+This might produce illegible output, even if your screen colors only
+use shades of gray. If this is the case, try using the command @kbd{P
+C} (@code{mh-ps-print-toggle-color}) to toggle between color, no
+color, and a black and white representation of the colors and see
+which works best. You change this setting permanently by customizing
+the option @code{ps-print-color-p}.
+
address@hidden mh-ps-print-toggle-faces
address@hidden P F
+
+Another related function is the command @kbd{P F}
+(@code{mh-ps-print-toggle-faces}). This command toggles between using
+faces and not. When faces are enabled, the printed message will look
+very similar to the message in the MH-Show buffer.
+
address@hidden ps-print package
address@hidden Emacs, packages, ps-print
+
+MH-E uses the @samp{ps-print} package to do the printing, so you can
+customize the printing further by going to the @samp{ps-print}
+customization group.
+
address@hidden @command{lpr}
address@hidden @command{mhl}
address@hidden MH commands, @command{mhl}
address@hidden Unix commands, @command{lpr}
address@hidden mh-print-msg
address@hidden P l
+
+An alternative to using the @samp{ps-print} package is the command
address@hidden l} (@code{mh-print-msg}) (the @i{l} is for @i{l}ine printer or
address@hidden). You can print all the messages in a range. The message is
+formatted with @address@hidden the section
address@hidden@value{MH-BOOK-HOME}/shomes.html#Usisho, Using mhl} in the MH
+book.} and printed with the @command{lpr} command.
+
address@hidden P f
address@hidden P l
address@hidden P p
address@hidden mh-lpr-command-format
address@hidden mh-print-background-flag
+
+The command @kbd{P l} uses two options. The option
address@hidden contains the Unix command line which
+performs the actual printing. The string can contain one escape,
address@hidden, which is replaced by the name of the folder and the message
+number and is useful for print job names. The default setting is
address@hidden"lpr -J '%s'"}. I use @code{"mpage -h'%s' -b Letter -H1of -mlrtb
+-P"} which produces a nice header and adds a bit of margin so the text
+fits within my printer's margins. Normally messages are printed in the
+foreground. If this is slow on your system, you may elect to turn on
+the option @code{mh-print-background-flag} to print in the background.
+If you do this, do not delete the message until it is printed or else
+the output may be truncated. These options are not used by the
+commands @kbd{P p} or @kbd{P f}.

address@hidden mh-refile-or-write-again

address@hidden >

+
+MH-E does offer a couple of commands that are not a part of address@hidden The
+first one, @kbd{>} (@code{mh-write-msg-to-file}), writes a message to
+a file. You are prompted for the filename. If the file already exists,
+the message is appended to it. You can also write the message to the
+file without the header by specifying a prefix argument (such as
address@hidden > /tmp/foobar @key{RET}}). Subsequent writes to the same file
+can be made with the command @kbd{!}
+(@code{mh-refile-or-write-again}).
+
address@hidden mh-pipe-msg
address@hidden |
address@hidden l
+
+You can also pipe the message through a Unix shell command with the
+command @kbd{|} (@code{mh-pipe-msg}). You are prompted for the Unix
+command through which you wish to run your message. If you give a
+prefix argument to this command, the message header is included in the
+text passed to the command (the contrived example @kbd{C-u | lpr}
+would be done with the @kbd{l} command instead).

address@hidden mh-store-default-directory
+
+If the message is a shell archive @command{shar} or has been run
+through @command{uuencode} use @kbd{X s} (@code{mh-store-msg}) to
+extract the body of the message. The default directory for extraction
+is the current directory; however, you have a chance to specify a
+different extraction directory. The next time you use this command,
+the default directory is the last directory you used. If you would
+like to change the initial default directory, customize the option
address@hidden, change the value from
address@hidden to @samp{Directory}, and then enter the name of the
+directory for storing the content of these messages.
+
address@hidden mh-store-buffer
address@hidden @key{RET}
address@hidden X s
+
+By the way, @kbd{X s} calls the Emacs Lisp function
address@hidden I mention this because you can use it directly
+if you're editing a buffer that contains a file that has been run
+through @command{uuencode} or @command{shar}. For example, you can
+extract the contents of the current buffer in your home directory by
+typing @kbd{M-x mh-store-buffer @key{RET} ~ @key{RET}}.

+(@code{mh-next-unread-msg}); use @kbd{M-p}
+(@code{mh-previous-unread-msg}) to move to the previous unread
+message. These commands can be given a prefix argument to specify how
+many messages to skip (for example, @kbd{5 n}). You can also move to a
+specific message with @kbd{g} (@code{mh-goto-msg}). You can enter the
+message number either before or after typing @kbd{g}. In the latter
+case, Emacs prompts you. Finally, you can go to the first or last

+(@code{mh-last-msg}) respectively.

+
+You can also use the Emacs commands @kbd{C-p} (@code{previous-line})
+and @kbd{C-n} (@code{next-line}) to move up and down the scan lines in
+the MH-Folder window. These commands can be used in conjunction with
address@hidden to look at deleted or refiled messages.
+
address@hidden deleting messages
address@hidden mh-delete-msg
address@hidden d
address@hidden n
address@hidden p
+
+To mark a message for deletion, use the command @kbd{d}
+(@code{mh-delete-msg}). A @samp{D} is placed by the message in the
+scan window, and the next undeleted message is displayed. If the
+previous command had been @kbd{p}, then the next message displayed is
+the first undeleted message previous to the message just deleted. Use
address@hidden to force subsequent @kbd{d} commands to move forward to the
+next undeleted message after deleting the message under the cursor.
+You may also specify a range (for example, @kbd{C-u d 1 3 5-7 last:5
+frombob @key{RET}}, @pxref{Ranges}).
+
address@hidden mh-delete-msg-no-motion
address@hidden C-d
+
+The command @kbd{C-d} (@code{mh-delete-msg-no-motion}) marks the
+message (or messages in range) for deletion but leaves the cursor at
+the current message in case you wish to perform other operations on
+the message.
+
address@hidden mh-delete-subject
address@hidden mh-delete-subject-or-thread
address@hidden mh-thread-delete
address@hidden mh-undo
address@hidden k
address@hidden T d
address@hidden u
+
+And to delete more messages faster, you can use @kbd{k}
+(@code{mh-delete-subject-or-thread}) to delete all the messages with
+the same subject as the current message. This command puts these
+messages in a sequence named @samp{subject}. You can undo this action
+by using @kbd{u} (@code{mh-undo}) with a prefix argument and then
+specifying the @samp{subject} sequence. However, if the buffer is
+displaying a threaded view of the folder then @kbd{k} behaves like
address@hidden d} (@code{mh-thread-delete}). @xref{Threading}.
+
address@hidden mh-execute-commands
address@hidden x
+
+However you mark a message for deletion, the command @kbd{x}
+(@code{mh-execute-commands}) actually carries out the deletion
+(@pxref{Folders}).
+
address@hidden mh-delete-msg-hook
+
+The hook @code{mh-delete-msg-hook} is called after you mark a message
+for deletion. For example, a past maintainer of MH-E used this once
+when he kept statistics on his mail usage.
+

address@hidden Miscellaneous Commands and Options
+
+This section contains a few more miscellaneous commands and options.
+
address@hidden editing message
address@hidden mh-modify
address@hidden M
+
+There are times when you need to edit a message. For example, you may
+need to fix a broken Content-Type header field. You can do this with
+the command @kbd{M} (@code{mh-modify}). It displays the raw message in
+an editable buffer. When you are done editing, save and kill the
+buffer as you would any other.
+
address@hidden mh-kill-folder
address@hidden mh-pack-folder
address@hidden mh-do-not-confirm-flag
+
+Commands such as @code{mh-pack-folder} prompt to confirm whether to
+process outstanding moves and deletes or not before continuing.
+Turning on the option @code{mh-do-not-confirm-flag} means that these
+actions will be performed---which is usually desired but cannot be
+retracted---without address@hidden previous versions of MH-E,
+this option suppressed the confirmation in @code{mh-kill-folder}.
+Since this kept most users from setting this option,
address@hidden was modified in version 6.0 to always ask for
+confirmation subject to @code{mh-kill-folder-suppress-prompt-hook}.
address@hidden
+
address@hidden MH-Folder mode
address@hidden modes, MH-Folder
address@hidden mh-summary-height
+
+The option @code{mh-summary-height} controls the number of scan lines
+displayed in the MH-Folder window, including the mode line. The
+default value of this option is @samp{Automatic} which means that the
+MH-Folder buffer will maintain the same proportional size if the frame
+is resized. If you'd prefer a fixed height, then choose the
address@hidden Size} option and enter the number of lines you'd like to
+see.
+
address@hidden mh-bury-show-buffer-flag
+
+Normally the buffer for displaying messages is buried at the bottom at
+the buffer stack. You may wish to disable this feature by turning off
+the option @code{mh-bury-show-buffer-flag}. One advantage of not
+burying the show buffer is that one can delete the show buffer more
+easily in an electric buffer list because of its proximity to its
+associated MH-Folder buffer. Try running @kbd{M-x
+electric-buffer-list} to see what I mean.

+another folder, use the command @kbd{o} (@code{mh-refile-msg})
+(mnemonic: ``output''). You are prompted for the folder name
+(@pxref{Folder Selection}). Note that this command can also be used to
+create folders. If you specify a folder that does not exist, you will

+
+If you've marked messages to be deleted or refiled and you want to go

+
+When you want to read the messages that you have refiled into folders,
+use the command @kbd{F v} (@code{mh-visit-folder}) to visit the
+folder. You are prompted for the folder name. The folder buffer will
+show just unseen messages if there are any; otherwise, it will show
+all the messages in the buffer as long there are fewer than
address@hidden messages. If there are more, then you are
+prompted for a range of messages to scan. You can provide a prefix
+argument in order to specify a range of messages to show when you
+visit the folder (@pxref{Ranges}). In this case, regions are not used
+to specify the range and @code{mh-large-folder} is ignored. Note that
+this command can also be used to create folders. If you specify a
+folder that does not exist, you will be prompted to create it.

+you first ran @kbd{M-x mh-rmail}. It also removes any MH-E working
+buffers whose name begins with @samp{ *mh-} or @samp{*MH-E }

+
+Because the header is part of the message, you can edit the header
+fields as you wish. However, several convenience commands exist to
+help you create and edit them. For example, the command @kbd{C-c C-f
+C-t} (@code{mh-to-field}; alternatively, @kbd{C-c C-f t}) moves the
+cursor to the @samp{To:} header field, creating it if necessary. The
+commands for moving to the @samp{Cc:}, @samp{Subject:}, @samp{From:},
address@hidden:}, @samp{Mail-Reply-To:}, @samp{Mail-Followup-To},
address@hidden:}, and @samp{Dcc:} header fields are similar.

+
+Within the header of the message, the address@hidden @key{TAB}
+(@code{mh-letter-next-header-field-or-indent}) moves between fields
+that are highlighted with the face @code{mh-letter-header-field},
+skipping those fields listed in
address@hidden After the last field, this
+command then moves point to the message body before cycling back to
+the first field. If point is already past the first line of the
+message body, then this command indents by calling
address@hidden with the given prefix argument. The command
address@hidden@key{TAB}} (@code{mh-letter-previous-header-field}) moves
+backwards between the fields and cycles to the body of the message
+after the first field. Unlike the command @key{TAB}, it will always
+take point to the last field from anywhere in the body.

+
+If the field contains addresses (for example, @samp{To:} or
address@hidden:}) or folders (for example, @samp{Fcc:}) then the command
address@hidden@key{TAB}} (@code{mh-letter-complete}) will provide alias
+completion (@pxref{Aliases}). In the body of the message,
address@hidden@key{TAB}} runs @code{mh-letter-complete-function} instead,
+which is set to @samp{'ispell-complete-word} by default. The command
address@hidden@key{TAB}} (@code{mh-letter-complete}) takes a prefix argument
+that is passed to the @code{mh-letter-complete-function}. In addition,
+turn on the option @code{mh-compose-space-does-completion-flag} to use
+the command @key{SPC} (@code{mh-letter-complete-or-space}) to perform
+completion in the header as well; use a prefix argument to specify
+more than one space. Addresses are separated by a comma; when you
+press the comma, the command @code{mh-letter-confirm-address} flashes
+the alias expansion in the minibuffer if
address@hidden is turned on.
+
address@hidden XXX Document the replacement for the inaccessible 'long argument.
+
address@hidden mh-letter-toggle-header-field-display
address@hidden C-c C-t
+
+Use the command @kbd{C-c C-t}
address@hidden to display truncated
+header fields. This command is a toggle so entering it again will hide
+the field. This command takes a prefix argument: if negative then the
+field is hidden, if positive then the field is displayed (for example,
address@hidden C-c C-t}).
+
+Be sure to leave a row of dashes or a blank line between the header
+and the body of the message.
+
address@hidden mh-letter-fill-column
+
+The body of the message is edited as you would edit any Emacs buffer
+although there are a few commands and options to assist you. You can
+change the fill column in MH-Letter mode with the option
address@hidden By default, this option is 72 to allow
+others to quote your message without line wrapping.

address@hidden M-q
address@hidden mh-ins-buf-prefix
+
+You'll often include messages that were sent from user agents that
+haven't yet realized that paragraphs consist of more than a single
+line. This makes for long lines that wrap in an ugly fashion. You'll
+find that @kbd{M-q} (@code{fill-paragraph}) works well even on these
+quoted messages, even if they are nested, just as long as all of the
+quotes match the value of @code{mh-ins-buf-prefix} (@pxref{Inserting
+Letter}). For example, let's assume you have the following in your
+draft:
+
address@hidden
address@hidden
+> Hopefully this gives you an idea of what I'm currently doing. I'm \
+not sure yet whether I'm completely satisfied with my setup, but \
+it's worked okay for me so far.
address@hidden group
address@hidden smallexample
+
+Running @kbd{M-q} on this paragraph produces:
+
address@hidden

address@hidden mh-open-line
address@hidden open-line
address@hidden C-c C-o
address@hidden C-o
+
+The command @kbd{C-c C-o} (@code{mh-open-line}) is similar to the
+command @kbd{C-o} (@code{open-line}) in that it inserts a newline
+after point. It differs in that it also inserts the right number of
+quoting characters and spaces so that the next line begins in the same
+column as it was. This is useful when breaking up paragraphs in
+replies. For example, if this command was used when point was after
+the first period in the paragraph above, the result would be this:
+
address@hidden
address@hidden
+> Hopefully this gives you an idea of what I'm currently doing.
+
+> I'm not
+> sure yet whether I'm completely satisfied with my setup, but it's

+
+The prefix @code{"> "} is the default setting for the option

+since it is used by many mailers and news readers: messages are far
+easier to read if several included messages have all been indented by
+the same string. This prefix is not inserted if you use one of the
+supercite flavors of @code{mh-yank-behavior} or you have added a
address@hidden as described below.
+

+
address@hidden mh-extract-from-attribution-verb
+
+If the @samp{Body With Attribution} setting is used, then the message
+minus the header is yanked and a simple attribution line is added at
+the top using the value of the option
address@hidden This is the default.
+
address@hidden C-c C-y
address@hidden mh-delete-yanked-msg-window-flag
+
+If the @samp{Invoke supercite} or @samp{Body With Attribution}
+settings are used, the @samp{-noformat} argument is passed to the
address@hidden program to override a @samp{-filter} or @samp{-format}
+argument. These settings also have @samp{Automatically} variants that
+perform the action automatically when you reply so that you don't need
+to use @kbd{C-c C-y} at all. Note that this automatic action is only
+performed if the show buffer matches the message being replied to.
+People who use the automatic variants tend to turn on the option
address@hidden as well so that the show
+window is never displayed.
+
address@hidden mh-yank-behavior
+
+If the show buffer has a region, the option @code{mh-yank-behavior} is
+ignored unless its value is one of @samp{Attribution} variants in
+which case the attribution is added to the yanked region.

+
+If this isn't enough, you can gain full control over the appearance of
+the included text by setting @code{mail-citation-hook} to a function
+that modifies it. This hook is ignored if the option
address@hidden is set to one of the supercite flavors.
+Otherwise, this option controls how much of the message is passed to
+the hook. The function can find the citation between point and mark
+and it should leave point and mark around the modified citation text
+for the next hook function. The standard prefix
address@hidden is not added if this hook is set.

+Messages can be inserted with @kbd{C-c C-i} (@code{mh-insert-letter}).
+This command prompts you for the folder and message number, which
+defaults to the current message in that folder. It then inserts the
+messages, indented by @code{mh-ins-buf-prefix} (@samp{> }) unless
address@hidden is set to one of the supercite flavors in
+which case supercite is used to format the message. Certain
+undesirable header fields (see

+
+If given a prefix argument (like @kbd{C-u C-c C-i}), the header is
+left intact, the message is not indented, and @samp{> } is not

+By default, the text of your signature is taken from the file

+The option @code{mh-signature-file-name} may also be a symbol, in
+which case that function is called. You may not want a signature
+separator to be added for you; instead you may want to insert one
+yourself. Options that you may find useful to do this include
address@hidden (when inserting a signature separator)
+and @code{mh-signature-separator-regexp} (for finding said separator).
+The function @code{mh-signature-separator-p}, which reports @code{t}
+if the buffer contains a separator, may be useful as well.
+
address@hidden signature separator
address@hidden mh-signature-separator-flag
+
+A signature separator (@code{"-- "}) will be added if the signature
+block does not contain one and @code{mh-signature-separator-flag} is
+on. It is not recommended that you change this option since various
+mail user agents, including MH-E, use the separator to present the
+signature differently, and to suppress the signature when replying or
+yanking a letter into a draft.
+
address@hidden mh-insert-signature-hook
address@hidden mh-signature-file-name
+
+The hook @code{mh-insert-signature-hook} is run after the signature is

address@hidden multimedia mail
+
+MH-E has the capability to create multimedia messages. It uses the
address@hidden (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions)
address@hidden@sc{mime} is defined in
address@hidden://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2045.txt, RFC 2045}.} The
address@hidden protocol allows you to incorporate images, sound, video,
+binary files, and even commands that fetch a file with @samp{ftp} when
+your recipient reads the message!
+
address@hidden C-c C-m
+
+If you were to create a multimedia message with plain MH commands, you
+would insert @command{mhbuild} or @command{mhn} directives (henceforth
+called @dfn{MH-style directives} into your draft and use the
address@hidden command in nmh or @command{mhn} command in MH and
+GNU mailutils to expand them. MH-E works in much the same way,
+although it provides a handful of commands prefixed with @kbd{C-c C-m}
+to insert the directives so you don't need to remember the syntax of
+them. Remember: you can always add MH-style directives by
address@hidden the section
address@hidden@value{MH-BOOK-HOME}/usimim.html#SeMIMa, Sending MIME Mail} in

+also be set to @samp{MH} if MH-style directives are preferred.
+
address@hidden media types
address@hidden MIME, media types
+
+The MH-E @sc{mime} commands require a @dfn{media type} for each body
+part or attachment. For example, a PDF document is of type
address@hidden/pdf} and an HTML document is of type
address@hidden/html}. Some commands fill in the media type for you,
+whereas others require you to enter one.
+
address@hidden @command{file}
address@hidden @file{/etc/mime.types}
address@hidden files, @file{/etc/mime.types}
address@hidden Unix commands, @command{file}
address@hidden mailcap-mime-types
+
+In the cases where MH-E can do so, it will determine the media type
+automatically. It uses the @command{file} command to do this. Failing
+that, the Emacs function @code{mailcap-mime-types} is used to provide
+a list from which to choose. This function usually reads the file
address@hidden/etc/mime.types}.
+
+Whether the media type is chosen automatically, or you choose it from
+a list, use the type that seems to match best the file that you are
+including. In the case of binaries, the media type
address@hidden/x-executable} can be useful. If you can't find an
+appropriate media type, use @samp{text/plain} for text messages and
address@hidden/octet-stream} for everything else.
+
address@hidden content description
address@hidden MIME, content description
+
+You are also sometimes asked for a @dfn{content description}. This is
+simply an optional brief phrase, in your own words, that describes the
+object. If you don't care to enter a content description, just press
+return and none will be included; however, a reader may skip over
+multimedia fields unless the content description is compelling.
+
+You can also create your own @sc{mime} body parts. In the following
+example, I describe how you can create and edit a @samp{text/enriched}
+body part to liven up your plain text messages with boldface,
+underlining, and italics. I include an Emacs function which inserts
+enriched text tags.

address@hidden Adding Addresses to Draft
+
+You can use aliases when you are adding recipients to a message.
+
address@hidden minibuffer-complete
address@hidden @key{TAB}
address@hidden mh-alias-expand-aliases-flag
address@hidden mh-compose-prompt-flag
+
+In order to use minibuffer prompting for recipients and the subject
+line in the minibuffer, turn on the option
address@hidden (@pxref{Composing}), and use the
address@hidden (@code{minibuffer-complete}) command to complete aliases
+(and optionally local logins) when prompted for the recipients. Turn
+on the option @code{mh-alias-expand-aliases-flag} if you want these
+aliases to be expanded to their respective addresses in the draft.
+
address@hidden mh-letter-complete
address@hidden mh-letter-complete-or-space
address@hidden @key{SPC}
address@hidden address@hidden
+
+Otherwise, you can complete aliases in the header of the draft with
address@hidden@key{TAB}} (@code{mh-letter-complete}) or @key{SPC}
+(@code{mh-letter-complete-or-space}).
+
address@hidden mh-alias-completion-ignore-case-flag
+
+As MH ignores case in the aliases, so too does MH-E. However, you may
+turn off the option @code{mh-alias-completion-ignore-case-flag} to
+make case significant which can be used to segregate completion of
+your aliases. You might use uppercase for mailing lists and lowercase
+for people. For example, you might have:
+
address@hidden
+mark.baushke: Mark Baushke <mdb@@stop.mail-abuse.org>
+MH-E: MH-E Mailing List <mh-e-devel@@stop.mail-abuse.org>
address@hidden smallexample
+
+When this option is turned off, if you were to type @kbd{M} in the
address@hidden:} field and then @address@hidden, then you'd get the list;
+if you started with @kbd{m} and then entered @address@hidden, then
+you'd get Mark's address. Note that this option affects completion
+only. If you were to enter @kbd{Mark.Baushke}, it would still be
+identified with your @samp{mark.baushke} alias.
+
address@hidden mh-alias-minibuffer-confirm-address
address@hidden mh-letter-confirm-address
address@hidden mh-alias-flash-on-comma
address@hidden mh-compose-prompt-flag
+
+To verify that the alias you've entered is valid, the alias will be
+displayed in the minibuffer when you type a comma
+(@code{mh-letter-confirm-address} or
address@hidden if the option
address@hidden is turned on). @xref{Composing}. This
+behavior can be controlled with the option
address@hidden which provides three choices:
address@hidden but Don't Warn If No Alias}, @samp{Flash and Warn If No
+Alias}, and @samp{Don't Flash Nor Warn If No Alias}.
+
+For another way to verify the alias expansion, see @ref{Checking
+Recipients}.

address@hidden @samp{Aliasfile:} MH profile component
address@hidden MH commands, @command{ali}
address@hidden MH profile component, @samp{Aliasfile:}
address@hidden files, @file{/etc/nmh/MailAliases}
+
+MH-E loads aliases for completion and folder name hints from various
+places. It uses the MH command @address@hidden the section
address@hidden@value{MH-BOOK-HOME}/mh.html, MH Aliases} in the MH book.} to
+read aliases from the files listed in the profile component
address@hidden:} as well as system-wide aliases (for example,
address@hidden/etc/nmh/MailAliases}).
+
address@hidden @file{/etc/passwd}
address@hidden files, @file{/etc/passwd}
+
+In addition, aliases are created from @file{/etc/passwd} entries with
+a user ID larger than a magical number, typically 200. This can be a
+handy tool on a machine where you and co-workers exchange messages.
+These aliases have the form @address@hidden if a real
+name is present in the password file. Otherwise, the alias will have
+the form @address@hidden
+
address@hidden mh-alias-local-users-prefix
+
+The prefix @samp{local.} can be modified via the option
address@hidden This option can also be set to
address@hidden Login}.
+
+For example, consider the following password file entry:
+
address@hidden
+psg:x:1000:1000:Peter S Galbraith,,,:/home/psg:/bin/tcsh
address@hidden smallexample
+
address@hidden mh-alias-local-users-prefix
+
+The following settings of option @code{mh-alias-local-users-prefix}
+will produce the associated aliases:
+
address@hidden @code
address@hidden "local."
+local.peter.galbraith
address@hidden -------------------------
address@hidden ""
+peter.galbraith
address@hidden -------------------------
address@hidden Use Login
+psg
address@hidden table
+
address@hidden mh-alias-passwd-gecos-comma-separator-flag
+
+In the example above, commas are used to separate different values
+within the so-called GECOS field. This is a fairly common usage.
+However, in the rare case that the GECOS field in your password file
+is not separated by commas and whose contents may contain commas, you
+can turn the option @code{mh-alias-passwd-gecos-comma-separator-flag}
+off.
+
address@hidden NIS, obtaining local aliases from
address@hidden @samp{ypcat passwd}
address@hidden mh-alias-local-users
+
+If you're on a system with thousands of users you don't know, and the
+loading of local aliases slows MH-E down noticeably, then the local
+alias feature can be disabled by turning off the option
address@hidden This option also takes a string which is
+executed to generate the password file. For example, use @samp{ypcat
+passwd} to obtain the NIS password file.
+
address@hidden mh-alias-reload
address@hidden M-x mh-alias-reload
address@hidden mh-alias-reloaded-hook
+
+Since aliases are updated frequently, MH-E reloads aliases
+automatically whenever an alias lookup occurs if an alias source has
+changed. However, you can reload your aliases manually by calling the
+command @kbd{M-x mh-alias-reload} directly. This command runs
address@hidden after the aliases have been loaded.
+
address@hidden Adding Aliases
+
+In the past, you have manually added aliases to your alias file(s)
+listed in your @samp{Aliasfile:} profile component. MH-E provides
+other methods for maintaining your alias file(s).
+
address@hidden mh-alias-add-alias
address@hidden M-x mh-alias-add-alias
+
+You can use the @kbd{M-x mh-alias-add-alias} command which will prompt
+you for the alias and address that you would like to add. If the alias
+exists already, you will have the choice of inserting the new alias
+before or after the old alias. In the former case, this alias will be
+used when sending mail to this alias. In the latter case, the alias
+serves as an additional folder name hint when filing messages
+(@pxref{Folder Selection}).
+
+Earlier, the alias prefix @samp{local} was presented. You can use
+other prefixes to organize your aliases or disambiguate entries. You
+might use prefixes for locales, jobs, or activities. For example, I
+have:
+
address@hidden
address@hidden
+; Work
+attensity.don.mitchell: Don Mitchell <dmitchell@@stop.mail-abuse.com>
+isharp.don.mitchell: Don Mitchell <donaldsmitchell@@stop.mail-abuse.com>
+...
+; Sport
+diving.ken.mayer: Ken Mayer <kmayer@@stop.mail-abuse.com>
+sailing.mike.maloney: Mike Maloney <mmaloney@@stop.mail-abuse.com>
+...
+; Personal
+ariane.kolkmann: Ariane Kolkmann <ArianeKolkmann@@stop.mail-abuse.com>
+...
address@hidden group
address@hidden smallexample
+
+Using prefixes instead of postfixes helps you explore aliases during
+completion. If you forget the name of an old dive buddy, you can enter
address@hidden and then @key{SPC} to get a listing of all your dive buddies.
+
address@hidden M-x mh-alias-add-address-under-point
address@hidden M-x mh-alias-grab-from-field
+
+An alias for the sender of the current message is added automatically
+by clicking on the @samp{Grab From alias} tool bar button or by running
+the @kbd{M-x mh-alias-grab-from-field} command. Aliases for other
+recipients of the current message are added by placing your cursor
+over the desired recipient and giving the @kbd{M-x
+mh-alias-add-address-under-point} command.
+
address@hidden mh-alias-insert-file
address@hidden mh-alias-insertion-location
+
+The options @code{mh-alias-insert-file} and
address@hidden controls how and where these aliases
+are inserted.
+
address@hidden mh-alias-insert-file
+
+The default setting of option @code{mh-alias-insert-file} is @samp{Use
+Aliasfile Profile Component}. This option can also hold the name of a
+file or a list a file names. If this option is set to a list of file
+names, or the @samp{Aliasfile:} profile component contains more than
+one file name, MH-E will prompt for one of them.
+
address@hidden mh-alias-insertion-location
+
+The option @code{mh-alias-insertion-location} is set to
address@hidden by default. If you organize your alias file in
+other ways, then the settings @samp{Top} and @samp{Bottom} might be
+more appropriate.

+
address@hidden @samp
address@hidden header field, @samp{From:}
address@hidden @samp{From:} header field
address@hidden From Field
+Specify an alternate @samp{From:} header field. You must include a
+valid email address. A standard format is @samp{First Last

address@hidden mh-identity-default
+
+The @samp{Identity} menu contains two other items to save you from
+having to set the identity on every message. The menu item @samp{Set
+Default for Session} can be used to set the default identity to the
+current identity until you exit Emacs. The menu item @samp{Save as
+Default} sets the option @code{mh-identity-default} to the current

address@hidden in the usual fashion. If you find that you
+need to add another identity, the menu item @samp{Customize
+Identities} is available for your convenience.

address@hidden regular expressions, @code{mh-auto-fields-list}
address@hidden mh-auto-fields-list
+
+The option @code{mh-auto-fields-list} can also be used to set the

address@hidden -------------------------
address@hidden @samp{Fcc:} header field
address@hidden header field, @samp{Fcc:}
address@hidden Fcc Field
+Insert an @samp{Fcc:} header field with the folder you provide. When

+folder.
address@hidden -------------------------
address@hidden @samp{Mail-Followup-To:} header field
address@hidden header field, @samp{Mail-Followup-To:}
address@hidden Mail-Followup-To Field
+Insert an @samp{Mail-Followup-To:} header field with the recipients
+you provide. If the recipient's mail user agent supports this header
address@hidden@samp{Mail-Followup-To:} is supported by nmh.}, then
+their replies will go to the addresses listed. This is useful if their
+replies go both to the list and to you and you don't have a mechanism
+to suppress duplicates. If you reply to someone not on the list, you
+must either remove the @samp{Mail-Followup-To:} field, or ensure the
+recipient is also listed there so that he receives replies to your
+reply.
address@hidden -------------------------
address@hidden Other Field
+Other header fields may be added using this menu item.
address@hidden table
+
address@hidden mh-insert-auto-fields
address@hidden C-c M-d
address@hidden mh-auto-fields-prompt-flag
+
+These fields can only be added after the recipient is known. Because
+you can continue to add recipients as you edit the draft, MH-E waits
+until the message is sent to perform the auto-insertions. This seems
+strange at first, but you'll get used to it. There are two ways to
+help you feel that the desired fields are added. The first is the
+action when the message is sent: if any fields are added
+automatically, you are given a chance to see and to confirm these
+fields before the message is actually sent. You can do away with this
+confirmation by turning off the option
address@hidden The second method is manual: once
+the header contains one or more recipients, you may run the command
address@hidden M-d} (@code{mh-insert-auto-fields}) or choose the
address@hidden -> Insert Auto Fields} menu item to insert these fields
+manually. However, if you use this command, the automatic insertion
+when the message is sent is disabled.
+
address@hidden mh-auto-fields-list
address@hidden mh-identity-list
+
+You should avoid using the same header field in
address@hidden and @code{mh-identity-list} definitions
+that may apply to the same message as the result is undefined.
+
address@hidden mh-identity-handlers
address@hidden mh-identity-list
+
+The option @code{mh-identity-handlers} is used to change the way that
+fields, signatures, and attributions in @code{mh-identity-list} are
+added. To customize @code{mh-identity-handlers}, replace the name of
+an existing handler function associated with the field you want to
+change with the name of a function you have written. You can also
+click on an @samp{INS} button and insert a field of your choice and
+the name of the function you have written to handle it.
+
address@hidden mh-identity-list
+
+The @samp{Field} field can be any field that you've used in your
address@hidden The special fields @samp{:attribution-verb},
address@hidden:signature}, or @samp{:pgg-default-user-id} are used for the
address@hidden choices @samp{Attribution Verb},
address@hidden, and @samp{GPG Key ID} respectively.
+
+The handler associated with the @samp{:default} field is used when no
+other field matches.
+
+The handler functions are passed two or three arguments: the field
+itself (for example, @samp{From}), or one of the special fields (for
+example, @samp{:signature}), and the action @samp{'remove} or
address@hidden'add}. If the action is @samp{'add}, an additional argument
+containing the value for the field is given.

address@hidden mh-search-folder
+
+The messages that are found are put in a temporary sub-folder of
address@hidden and are displayed in an MH-Folder buffer. This
+buffer is special because it displays messages from multiple folders;
+each set of messages from a given folder has a heading with the folder
+name. The appearance of the heading can be modified by customizing the
+face @code{mh-search-folder}. You can jump back and forth between the
+headings using the commands @address@hidden
+(@code{mh-index-next-folder}) and @address@hidden
+(@code{mh-index-previous-folder}).
+
address@hidden mh-index-visit-folder
address@hidden mh-rescan-folder
address@hidden F r
address@hidden v
+
+In addition, the command @kbd{v} (@code{mh-index-visit-folder}) can be
+used to visit the folder of the message at point. Initially, only the
+messages that matched the search criteria are displayed in the folder.
+While the temporary buffer has its own set of message numbers, the
+actual messages numbers are shown in the visited folder. Thus, the
+command @kbd{v} is useful to find the actual message number of an
+interesting message, or to view surrounding messages with the command
address@hidden r} @code{mh-rescan-folder}. @xref{Folders}.
+
address@hidden mh-kill-folder

+
+Because this folder is temporary, you'll probably get in the habit of

address@hidden threading
+
+MH-E groups messages by @dfn{threads} which are messages that are part

+(@pxref{Searching}).
+
address@hidden root, in threads
address@hidden siblings, in threads
address@hidden ancestor, in threads
+
+A thread begins with a single message called a @dfn{root}. All replies
+to the same message are @dfn{siblings} of each other. Any message that
+has replies to it is an @dfn{ancestor} of those replies.
+
+There are several commands that you can use to navigate and operate on

+(@code{mh-thread-delete}) deletes the current message and all its

+If you find that threading is too slow, it may be that you have

+MH-E has been byte-compiled, you could try running @samp{locate
+mh-thread.elc} or otherwise find MH-E on your system and ensure that
address@hidden exists. If you have multiple versions and you
+find that one is compiled but the other is not, then go into your
address@hidden buffer in Emacs, enter @kbd{load-path C-j}, and
+ensure that the byte-compiled version appears first in the
address@hidden If you find that MH-E is not compiled and you

+
+MH-E depends on @uref{http://spamassassin.apache.org/, SpamAssassin},
address@hidden://bogofilter.sourceforge.net/, bogofilter}, or
address@hidden://spamprobe.sourceforge.net/, SpamProbe} to throw the dreck
+away. This chapter describes briefly how to configure these programs
+to work well with MH-E and how to use MH-E's interface that provides
+continuing education for these programs.
+
address@hidden mh-junk-program
+
+The default setting of the option @code{mh-junk-program} is
address@hidden which means that MH-E will automatically choose one
+of SpamAssassin, bogofilter, or SpamProbe in that order. If, for
+example, you have both SpamAssassin and bogofilter installed and you
+want to use bogofilter, then you can set this option to
address@hidden
+
address@hidden mh-junk-blacklist
address@hidden J b
address@hidden mh-junk-disposition
+
+The command @kbd{J b} (@code{mh-junk-blacklist}) trains the spam
+program in use with the content of the range (@pxref{Ranges}) and then
+handles the message(s) as specified by the option
address@hidden By default, this option is set to
address@hidden Spam} but you can also specify the name of the folder
+which is useful for building a corpus of spam for training purposes.
+
address@hidden mh-junk-whitelist
address@hidden J w
+
+In contrast, the command @kbd{J w} (@code{mh-junk-whitelist})
+reclassifies a range of messages (@pxref{Ranges}) as ham if it were
+incorrectly classified as spam. It then refiles the message into the
address@hidden folder.
+
address@hidden @samp{*MH-E Log*}
address@hidden buffers, @samp{*MH-E Log*}
address@hidden call-process
address@hidden mh-junk-background
+
+By default, the programs are run in the foreground, but this can be
+slow when junking large numbers of messages. If you have enough memory
+or don't junk that many messages at the same time, you might try
+turning on the option @code{mh-junk-background}. @footnote{Note that
+the option @code{mh-junk-background} is used as the @code{display}
+argument in the call to @code{call-process}. Therefore, turning on
+this option means setting its value to @samp{0}. You can also set its
+value to @samp{t} to direct the programs' output to the @samp{*MH-E
+Log*} buffer; this may be useful for debugging.}
+
+The following sections discuss the various counter-spam measures that
+MH-E can work with.

address@hidden SpamAssassin
+
address@hidden Spamassassin
address@hidden spam filters, Spamassassin
+
+SpamAssassin is one of the more popular spam filtering programs. Get
+it from your local distribution or from the
address@hidden://spamassassin.apache.org/, SpamAssassin web site}.
+
+To use SpamAssassin, add the following recipes to @file{~/.procmailrc}:
+
address@hidden @command{spamc}
address@hidden @samp{X-Spam-Level:} header field
address@hidden @samp{X-Spam-Status:} header field
address@hidden header field, @samp{X-Spam-Level:}
address@hidden header field, @samp{X-Spam-Status:}

+
+# Anything with a spam level of 10 or more is junked immediately.
+:0:
+* ^X-Spam-Level: ..........
+/dev/null
+
+:0:
+* ^X-Spam-Status: Yes
+spam/.
address@hidden smallexample
+
+If you don't use @command{spamc}, use @samp{spamassassin -P -a}.
+
+Note that one of the recipes above throws away messages with a score
+greater than or equal to 10. Here's how you can determine a value that
+works best for you.
+
+First, run @samp{spamassassin -t} on every mail message in your
+archive and use @command{gnumeric} to verify that the average plus the
+standard deviation of good mail is under 5, the SpamAssassin default
+for ``spam''.
+
+Using @command{gnumeric}, sort the messages by score and view the
+messages with the highest score. Determine the score which encompasses
+all of your interesting messages and add a couple of points to be
+conservative. Add that many dots to the @samp{X-Spam-Level:} header
+field above to send messages with that score down the drain.
+
+In the example above, messages with a score of 5-9 are set aside in
+the @samp{+spam} folder for later review. The major weakness of
+rules-based filters is a plethora of false positives so it is
+worthwhile to check.
+
address@hidden mh-junk-blacklist
address@hidden mh-junk-whitelist
address@hidden J b
address@hidden J w
+
+If SpamAssassin classifies a message incorrectly, or is unsure, you can
+use the MH-E commands @kbd{J b} (@code{mh-junk-blacklist}) and
address@hidden w} (@code{mh-junk-whitelist}).
+
address@hidden @command{sa-learn}
address@hidden @file{.spamassassin/user_prefs}
address@hidden files, @file{.spamassassin/user_prefs}
+
+The command @kbd{J b} (@code{mh-junk-blacklist}) adds a
address@hidden entry to @file{~/spamassassin/user_prefs},
+deletes the message, and sends the message to the Razor, so that
+others might not see this spam. If the @command{sa-learn} command is
+available, the message is also recategorized as spam.
+
+The address@hidden w} (@code{mh-junk-whitelist}) adds a
address@hidden rule to @samp{~/.spamassassin/user_prefs}. If
+the @command{sa-learn} command is available, the message is also
+recategorized as ham.
+
+Over time, you'll observe that the same host or domain occurs
+repeatedly in the @samp{blacklist_from} entries, so you might think
+that you could avoid future spam by blacklisting all mail from a
+particular domain. The utility function
address@hidden helps you do precisely that.
+This function displays a frequency count of the hosts and domains in
+the @samp{blacklist_from} entries from the last blank line in
address@hidden/.spamassassin/user_prefs} to the end of the file. This
+information can be used so that you can replace multiple
address@hidden entries with a single wildcard entry such as:
+
address@hidden
+blacklist_from *@@*amazingoffersdirect2u.com
address@hidden smallexample
+
+In versions of SpamAssassin (2.50 and on) that support a Bayesian
+classifier, @kbd{J b} @code{(mh-junk-blacklist}) uses the program
address@hidden to recategorize the message as spam. Neither MH-E,
+nor SpamAssassin, rebuilds the database after adding words, so you
+will need to run @samp{sa-learn --rebuild} periodically. This can be
+done by adding the following to your @file{crontab}:
+
address@hidden
+0 * * * * sa-learn --rebuild > /dev/null 2>&1

address@hidden Bogofilter
+
address@hidden bogofilter
address@hidden spam filters, bogofilter
+
+Bogofilter is a Bayesian spam filtering program. Get it from your
+local distribution or from the
address@hidden://bogofilter.sourceforge.net/, bogofilter web site}.
+
+Bogofilter is taught by running:
+
address@hidden
+bogofilter -n < good-message
address@hidden smallexample
+
+on every good message, and
+
address@hidden
+bogofilter -s < spam-message
address@hidden smallexample
+
address@hidden full training
+
+on every spam message. This is called a @dfn{full training}; three
+other training methods are described in the FAQ that is distributed
+with bogofilter. Note that most Bayesian filters need 1000 to 5000 of
+each type of message to start doing a good job.
+
+To use bogofilter, add the following recipes to @file{~/.procmailrc}:
+
address@hidden @samp{X-Bogosity:} header field

+
+If bogofilter classifies a message incorrectly, or is unsure, you can
+use the MH-E commands @kbd{J b} (@code{mh-junk-blacklist}) and @kbd{J
+w} (@code{mh-junk-whitelist}) to update bogofilter's training.
+
+The @cite{Bogofilter FAQ} suggests that you run the following
+occasionally to shrink the database:
+
address@hidden
+bogoutil -d wordlist.db | bogoutil -l wordlist.db.new
+mv wordlist.db wordlist.db.prv
+mv wordlist.db.new wordlist.db

address@hidden SpamProbe
address@hidden spam filters, SpamProbe
+
+SpamProbe is a Bayesian spam filtering program. Get it from your local
+distribution or from the @uref{http://spamprobe.sourceforge.net,
+SpamProbe web site}.
+
+To use SpamProbe, add the following recipes to @file{~/.procmailrc}:
+
address@hidden @command{formail}
address@hidden @samp{X-SpamProbe:} header field
address@hidden header field, @samp{X-SpamProbe:}

+(@code{mh-junk-whitelist}) to update SpamProbe's training.
+
address@hidden Other Things You Can Do
+
+There are a couple of things that you can add to @file{~/.procmailrc}
+in order to filter out a lot of spam and viruses. The first is to

address@hidden scan line formats
+
+This appendix discusses how MH-E creates, parses, and manipulates scan
+lines. If you have your own MH scan or inc format files, you
address@hidden teach MH-E how to handle them, but it isn't easy as
+you'll see.
+

address@hidden mh-scan-prog
+Program used to scan messages (default: @code{"scan"}).
address@hidden vtable
+
address@hidden mh-adaptive-cmd-note-flag
+
+There are a couple of caveats when creating your own scan format file.
+First, MH-E will not work if your scan lines do not include message
+numbers. It will work poorly if you don't dedicate a column for
+showing the current message and notations. You won't be able to use
+the option @code{mh-adaptive-cmd-note-flag} or the threading features
+(@pxref{Threading}).
+
address@hidden message numbers
address@hidden mh-set-cmd-note
address@hidden mh-adaptive-cmd-note-flag
address@hidden mh-scan-format-file
+
+If you've created your own format to handle long message numbers,
+you'll be pleased to know you no longer need it since MH-E adapts its
+internal format based upon the largest message number if
address@hidden is on (the default). If you prefer
+fixed-width message numbers, turn off @code{mh-adaptive-cmd-note-flag}
+and call @code{mh-set-cmd-note} with the width specified by your
+format file (see @code{mh-scan-format-file}). For example, the default
+width is 4, so you would use @samp{(mh-set-cmd-note 4)}.
+
address@hidden mh-adaptive-cmd-note-flag
address@hidden mh-scan-format-file
address@hidden mh-scan-format-mh
address@hidden mh-scan-format-nmh
+
+The default setting for @code{mh-scan-format-file} is @samp{Use MH-E
+scan Format}. This means that the format string will be taken from the
+either @code{mh-scan-format-mh} or @code{mh-scan-format-nmh} depending
+on whether MH or nmh (or GNU mailutils) is in use. This setting also
+enables you to turn on the option @code{mh-adaptive-cmd-note-flag}.
+You can also set this option to @samp{Use Default scan Format} to get
+the same output as you would get if you ran @command{scan} from the
+shell. If you have a format file that you want MH-E to use but not MH,
+you can set this option to @samp{Specify a scan Format File} and enter
+the name of your format file.
+
address@hidden mh-scan-format-file
address@hidden mh-scan-format-mh
address@hidden mh-scan-format-nmh
+
+The scan format that MH-E uses when @code{mh-scan-format-file} is set
+to its default of @samp{Use MH-E scan Format} is held in the variables
address@hidden and @code{mh-scan-format-mh} depending on
+whether you are using nmh (or GNU mailutils) or not. Typically, you
+create your own format files rather than modifying these variables.
+The value of @code{mh-scan-format-nmh} is:
+
address@hidden
+(concat
+ "%4(msg)"
+ "%<(cur)+%| %>"
+ "%<@address@hidden"
+ "%?(nonnull(address@hidden@}))%<(address@hidden@})t%>"
+ "%?(nonnull(address@hidden@}))%<(address@hidden@})c%>"
+ "%?(nonnull(address@hidden@}))%<(address@hidden@})b%>"

+ "%<(zero) %>"
+ "%02(address@hidden@})/%02(address@hidden@})%<@address@hidden %|*%>"
+ "%<(address@hidden@})%<@address@hidden:%14(decode(address@hidden@}))%>%>"
+ "%<(zero)%17(decode(address@hidden@}))%> "
+ "%(address@hidden@})%<@address@hidden<<address@hidden@}%>")

+
address@hidden decoding RFC 2047
address@hidden RFC 2047, decoding
address@hidden mh-scan-format-mh
+
+The setting for @code{mh-scan-format-mh} is similar, except that MH
+doesn't have the function @code{decode} (which is used to decode RFC
+2047 encodings).
+
address@hidden notations, scan line
address@hidden scan line notations
+
+These strings are passed to the @command{scan} program via the
address@hidden argument. The formats are identical to the defaults
+except that additional hints for fontification have been added to the
+existing notations in the fifth column (remember that in Emacs, the
+columns start at 0). The values of the fifth column, in priority
+order, are: @samp{-} if the message has been replied to, @samp{t} if
+an address in the @samp{To:} field matches one of the mailboxes of the
+current user, @samp{c} if the @samp{Cc:} field matches, @samp{b} if
+the @samp{Bcc:} field matches, and @samp{n} if a non-empty
address@hidden:} field is present.
+
address@hidden @command{scan}
address@hidden MH commands, @command{scan}
address@hidden mh-progs
address@hidden mh-scan-prog
+
+The name of the program that generates a listing of one line per
+message is held in @code{mh-scan-prog} (default: @code{"scan"}).
+Unless this variable contains an absolute pathname, it is assumed to
+be in the @code{mh-progs} directory (@pxref{Getting Started}). You may
+link another program to @command{scan} (see @samp{mh-profile}(5)) to
+produce a different type of address@hidden the section
address@hidden@value{MH-BOOK-HOME}/faswsprs.html, Find and Specify with scan
+pick Ranges Sequences} in the MH book.}.
+
address@hidden regular expressions, scan line formats
address@hidden mh-set-cmd-note
address@hidden setq
+
+If you change the format of the scan lines you'll need to tell MH-E
+how to parse the new format. As you will see, quite a lot of variables
+are involved to do that. Use @kbd{M-x apropos @key{RET}
+mh-scan.*regexp @key{RET}} to obtain a list of these variables. You
+will also have to call @code{mh-set-cmd-note} if your notations are
+not in column 4 (columns in Emacs start with 0). Note that unlike most
+of the user options described in this manual, these are variables and
+must be set with @code{setq} instead of in a customization buffer. For
+help with regular expressions, see
address@hidden
address@hidden, , Syntax of Regular Expressions, emacs, The
+GNU Emacs Manual}.

address@hidden -------------------------
address@hidden mh-scan-format-file
address@hidden mh-scan-msg-format-regexp
+This regular expression finds the message number width in a scan
+format. Note that the message number must be placed in a parenthesized
+expression as in the default of @code{"%\\([0-9]*\\)(msg)"}. This
+variable is only consulted if @code{mh-scan-format-file} is set to

address@hidden -------------------------
address@hidden mh-scan-msg-search-regexp
+This regular expression matches a particular message. It is a format
+string; use @samp{%d} to represent the location of the message number
+within the expression as in the default of @code{"^[^0-9]*%d[^0-9]"}.
address@hidden -------------------------
address@hidden mh-folder-address
address@hidden mh-folder-font-lock-keywords
address@hidden mh-folder-to
address@hidden mh-scan-rcpt-regexp
+This regular expression specifies the recipient in messages you sent.
+Note that the default setting of @code{mh-folder-font-lock-keywords}
+expects this expression to contain two parenthesized expressions. The
+first is expected to match the @samp{To:} that the default scan format
+file generates. The second is expected to match the recipient's name
+as in the default of @code{"\\(To:\\)\\(..............\\)"}. If this
+regular expression is not correct, the @samp{To:} string will not be

+expression to contain at least two parenthesized expressions. The
+first should match the fontification hint (see
address@hidden) and the second should match the user name
+as in the default of

address@hidden -------------------------
address@hidden mh-folder-followup
address@hidden mh-folder-font-lock-keywords
address@hidden mh-folder-subject
address@hidden mh-scan-subject-regexp
+This regular expression matches the subject. It must match from the
+beginning of the line. Note that the default setting of
address@hidden expects this expression to contain
+at least three parenthesized expressions. The first is expected to
+match the @samp{Re:} string, if any, and is highlighted with the face
address@hidden The second matches an optional bracketed
+number after @samp{Re:}, such as in @samp{Re[2]:} (and is thus a
+sub-expression of the first expression). The third is expected to
+match the subject line itself which is highlighted with the face
address@hidden For example, the default is
address@hidden@code{"^ *[0-9]+........[ address@hidden
address@hidden@code{\\([Rr][Ee]\\(\\[[0-9]+\\]\\)?:\\s-*\\)*\\([^<\n]*\\)"}}.
+This regular expression should be correct as it is needed by
+non-fontification functions. Note that this example is broken up on
+two lines for readability, but is actually a single string.
address@hidden vtable
+
+Finally, there are a slew of variables that control how MH-E annotates
+the scan lines.
+
address@hidden @code
address@hidden mh-set-cmd-note
address@hidden mh-adaptive-cmd-note-flag
address@hidden mh-cmd-note
+Column for notations (default: 4). This variable should be set with
+the function @code{mh-set-cmd-note}. This variable may be updated
+dynamically if @code{mh-adaptive-cmd-note-flag} is on. The following
+variables contain the notational characters. Note that columns in
+Emacs start with 0.
address@hidden -------------------------
address@hidden mh-note-copied
+Messages that have been copied are marked by this character (default:
address@hidden).
address@hidden -------------------------
address@hidden mh-scan-cur-msg-number-regexp
address@hidden mh-note-cur
+The current message (in MH, not in MH-E) is marked by this character
+(default: @code{?+}). See also @code{mh-scan-cur-msg-number-regexp}.
address@hidden -------------------------
address@hidden mh-scan-deleted-msg-regexp
address@hidden mh-note-deleted
+Messages that have been deleted are marked by this character (default:
address@hidden). See also @code{mh-scan-deleted-msg-regexp}.
address@hidden -------------------------
address@hidden mh-note-dist
+Messages that have been redistributed are marked by this character
+(default: @code{?R}).
address@hidden -------------------------
address@hidden mh-note-forw
+Messages that have been forwarded are marked by this character
+(default: @code{?F}).
address@hidden -------------------------
address@hidden mh-note-printed
+Messages that have been printed are marked by this character (default:
address@hidden).
address@hidden -------------------------
address@hidden mh-scan-refiled-msg-regexp
address@hidden mh-note-refiled
+Messages that have been refiled are marked by this character (default:
address@hidden). See also @code{mh-scan-refiled-msg-regexp}.
address@hidden -------------------------
address@hidden mh-note-repl
+Messages that have been replied to are marked by this character
+(default: @code{?-}).
address@hidden -------------------------
address@hidden mh-note-seq
+Messages in a user-defined sequence are marked by this character
+(default: @code{?%}). Messages in the @samp{search} sequence are
+marked by this character as well.
address@hidden vtable
+
+For example, let's say I have the following in @file{scan.format}
+which displays the sender, the subject, and the message number. This
+format places a @samp{+} after the message number for the current
+message according to MH; it also uses that column for notations.
+
address@hidden

address@hidden smallexample
+
address@hidden mh-adaptive-cmd-note-flag
address@hidden mh-scan-format-file
address@hidden mh-scan-format-file, example
+
+The first thing you have to do is tell MH-E to use this file.
+Customize @code{mh-scan-format-file} and set its value to @samp{Use
+Default scan Format}. If you didn't get already turn off
address@hidden, you'll need to do that first.
+
+Next, tell MH-E what a valid scan line looks like so that you can at
+least display the output of scan in your MH-Folder buffer.
+
address@hidden mh-scan-valid-regexp, example
+
address@hidden
+(setq mh-scan-valid-regexp "[0-9]+[+D^ ]$")
address@hidden smalllisp
+
+Now, in order to get rid of the @samp{Cursor not pointing to message}
+message, you need to tell MH-E how to access the message number. You
+should also see why MH-E requires that you include a message number in
+the first place.
+
address@hidden mh-scan-msg-number-regexp, example
address@hidden mh-scan-msg-search-regexp, example
+
address@hidden
+(setq mh-scan-msg-number-regexp "^.* \\([0-9]+\\)[+D^ ]$")
+(setq mh-scan-msg-search-regexp " %d[+D^ ]$")
address@hidden smalllisp
+
+In order to get the next and previous commands working, add this.
+
address@hidden mh-scan-good-msg-regexp, example
+
address@hidden
+(setq mh-scan-good-msg-regexp "^.* \\([0-9]+\\)[+D^ ]$")
address@hidden smalllisp
+
+Note that the current message isn't marked with a @samp{+} when moving
+between the next and previous messages. Here is the code required to
+get this working.
+
address@hidden set-mh-cmd-note, example
address@hidden mh-scan-cur-msg-number-regexp, example
+
address@hidden
+(set-mh-cmd-note 76)
+(setq mh-scan-cur-msg-number-regexp "^.* \\([0-9]+\\)\\+$")
address@hidden smalllisp
+
+Finally, add the following to delete and refile messages.
+
address@hidden mh-scan-deleted-msg-regexp, example
address@hidden mh-scan-refiled-msg-regexp, example
+
address@hidden
+(setq mh-scan-deleted-msg-regexp "^.* \\([0-9]+\\)D$")
+(setq mh-scan-refiled-msg-regexp "^.* \\([0-9]+\\)\\^$")
address@hidden smalllisp
+
+This is just a bare minimum; it's best to adjust all of the regular
+expressions to ensure that MH-E and highlighting perform well.

+
+First, I'll describe how to put mail from your mailing lists directly
+into an MH folder using @command{procmail}. First, add the following
+to @file{~/.procmailrc}. While the logging variables aren't strictly
+necessary, they are extremely useful.

address@hidden smallexample

address@hidden @command{rcvstore}
address@hidden MH commands, @command{rcvstore}
+
+Line 14 creates a lock file in your mail directory based upon the name
+of the folder. This is done because @command{rcvstore} does not
+perform locking. While this lock file will prevent @command{procmail}
+from writing to a folder concurrently, there is a slight chance that
+you might lose a message if you're performing operations on a folder
+at the same time @command{rcvstore} is placing a message there. You
+have been warned. Now that that disclaimer is out of the way, note
+that I've been using this set-up for over a decade and haven't lost
+anything to my address@hidden

+# Note that this should not be done for any message that goes into a
+# Gnus incoming file (Gnus will thrown an error) nor should it be
+# applied to any message that goes to the system mailbox because the
+# entire mailbox will be incorporated as a single message.

address@hidden smallexample
+
+If your version of @command{rcvstore} doesn't add messages to the
address@hidden sequence by default, add the following line to your MH
+profile:

+Unseen-Sequence: unseen
address@hidden smallexample
+
+Now view your new messages with the speedbar (@pxref{Speedbar}) or with
address@hidden n} (@code{mh-index-new-messages}). @xref{Folders}.
+
+If you're on a mailing list that is so voluminous that it is
+impossible to read every message, it usually better to read the
+mailing list like a newsgroup in a news reader. Emacs has a built-in
+newsreader called Gnus. The remainder of this appendix talks about how
+to use Gnus with an MH message store. The version of Gnus that was
+used to prepare this manual was 5.10. Versions 5.8 through 5.10 should
+work but versions prior to 5.8 use different options.
+
+This table contains a list of Gnus options that you will have to
+modify. Note that for them to become accessible, you'll have to load
address@hidden first. This can be done with @kbd{M-x load-library
address@hidden nnml @key{RET}}.
+
address@hidden @code
address@hidden gnus-secondary-select-methods
+Select the @samp{nnml} value. This select method uses directories for
+folders and individual files for messages, just like MH. You do not
+have to set an address.
address@hidden -------------------------
address@hidden mail-sources
+Select the @samp{Several files in a directory} value, check the
address@hidden box and enter @file{~/Mail} to tell Gnus where to find
+your mail.
address@hidden -------------------------
address@hidden mail-user-agent
address@hidden message-mail-user-agent
+In order to send mail within Gnus using MH-E, set this option to
address@hidden and set the @code{mail-user-agent} option to
address@hidden interface to MH}.
address@hidden -------------------------
address@hidden nnmail-keep-last-article
+Since Gnus keeps track of which messages you have read, it would be
+bad if Gnus expired the last message, for example, message 100, and
address@hidden gave the next new message number 1. Gnus would then
+ignore it since it thinks that you've read messages 1-100. Turning on
+this option ensures that the last message is never removed thereby
+eliminating this problem.
address@hidden vtable
+
+Next add the following to @file{~/.procmailrc}. If you don't subscribe
+to the GnuCash mailing list, substitute one to which you are
+subscribed.
+
address@hidden
+PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin/mh
+MAILDIR=$HOME/`mhparam Path`
+# Place mail sent to the GnuCash mailing list in gnucash.spool, where
+# Gnus will pick it up.
+:0:

+gnucash.spool
address@hidden smallexample
+
+Wait for some messages to appear in @file{gnucash.spool} and run Gnus
+with @kbd{M-x gnus @key{RET}}. To view the folder created in the
+example above, you would tell Gnus about it the first time only with
address@hidden m gnucash @key{RET} nnml @key{RET}}. In MH-E, this folder is
+known as @samp{+gnucash}.

+
+One day in 1983 I got the flu and had to stay home from work for three
+days with nothing to do. I used that time to write address@hidden The
+fundamental idea behind MHE was that it was a ``puppeteer'' driving
+the MH programs underneath it. MH had a model that the editor was
+supposed to run as a sub-process of the mailer, which seemed to me at
+the time to be the tail wagging the dog. So I turned it around and
+made the editor drive the MH programs. I made sure that the UCI people
+(who were maintaining MH at the time) took in my changes and made them
+stick.
+
+Today, I still use my own version of MHE because I don't at all like
+the way that GNU MH-E works and I've never gotten to be good enough at
+hacking Emacs Lisp to make GNU MH-E do what I want. The Gosling-emacs
+version of MHE and the GNU Emacs version of MH-E have almost nothing
+in common except similar names. They work differently, have different
+conceptual models, and have different key address@hidden
+reading this article, I questioned Brian about his version of MHE, and
+received some great ideas for improving MH-E such as a dired-like
+method of selecting folders; and removing the prompting when sending
+mail, filling in the blanks in the draft buffer instead. I passed them
+on to Stephen Gildea, the current maintainer, and he was excited about
+the ideas as well. Perhaps one day, MH-E will again resemble MHE
+(draft form editing was introduced in version 7.4).}.

address@hidden Larus, Jim
+
+Brian Reid, while at CMU or shortly after going to Stanford wrote a
+mail reading program called MHE for Gosling Emacs. It had much the
+same structure as MH-E (i.e., invoked MH programs), though it was
+simpler and the commands were slightly different. Unfortunately, I no
+longer have a copy so the differences are lost in the mists of time.
+
+In '82-83, I was working at BBN and wrote a lot of mlisp code in
+Gosling Emacs to make it look more like Tennex Emacs. One of the
+packages that I picked up and improved was Reid's mail system. In '83,
+I went back to Berkeley. About that time, Stallman's first version of
+GNU Emacs came out and people started to move to it from Gosling Emacs
+(as I recall, the transition took a year or two). I decided to port
+Reid's MHE and used the mlisp to Emacs Lisp translator that came with
+GNU Emacs. It did a lousy job and the resulting code didn't work, so I
+bit the bullet and rewrote the code by hand (it was a lot smaller and
+simpler then, so it took only a day or two).
+
+Soon after that, MH-E became part of the standard Emacs distribution
+and suggestions kept dribbling in for improvements. MH-E soon reached
+sufficient functionality to keep me happy, but I kept on improving it
+because I was a graduate student with plenty of time on my hands and
+it was more fun than my dissertation. In retrospect, the one thing
+that I regret is not writing any documentation, which seriously
+limited the use and appeal of the package.
+
address@hidden @command{xmh}, in MH-E history
+
+In '89, I came to Wisconsin as a professor and decided not to work on
+MH-E. It was stable, except for minor bugs, and had enough
+functionality, so I let it be for a few years. Stephen Gildea of BBN
+began to pester me about the bugs, but I ignored them. In 1990, he
+went off to the X Consortium, said good bye, and said that he would
+now be using @command{xmh}. A few months later, he came back and said
+that he couldn't stand @command{xmh} and could I put a few more bug fixes
+into MH-E. At that point, I had no interest in fixing MH-E, so I gave
+the responsibility of maintenance to him and he has done a fine job
+since then.

+In 1987 I went to work for Bolt Beranek and Newman, as Jim had before
+me. In my previous job, I had been using RMAIL, but as my folders tend
+to run large, I was frustrated with the speed of address@hidden However, I
+stuck with it because I wanted the GNU Emacs interface. I am very
+familiar and comfortable with the Emacs interface (with just a few
+modifications of my own) and dislike having to use applications with
+embedded editors; they never live up to Emacs.
+
+MH is the mail reader of choice at BBN, so I converted to it. Since I
+didn't want to give up using an Emacs interface, I started using MH-E.
+As is my wont, I started hacking on it almost immediately. I first
+used version 3.4m. One of the first features I added was to treat the
+folder buffer as a file-visiting buffer: you could lock it, save it,
+and be warned of unsaved changes when killing it. I also worked to
+bring its functionality a little closer to address@hidden Jim Larus was very
+cooperative about merging in my changes, and my efforts first appeared
+in version 3.6, distributed with Emacs 18.52 in 1988. Next I decided
+MH-E was too slow and optimized it a lot. Version, 3.7, distributed
+with Emacs 18.56 in 1990, was noticeably faster.
+
+When I moved to the X Consortium I became the first person there to
+not use xmh. (There is now one other engineer there using MH-E.) About
+this point I took over maintenance of MH-E from Jim and was finally
+able to add some features Jim hadn't accepted, such as the backward
+searching undo. My first release was 3.8 (Emacs 18.58) in 1992.
+
+Now, in 1994, we see a flurry of releases, with both 4.0 and 5.0.
+Version 4.0 added many new features, including background folder
+collection and support for composing @sc{mime} messages. (Reading
address@hidden messages remains to be done, alas.) While writing this book,
+Bill Wohler gave MH-E its closest examination ever, uncovering bugs
+and inconsistencies that required a new major version to fix, and so
+version 5 was released.

+
+After a long break, Stephen handed the reins over to me in 2000. I
+moved the project to a new site called SourceForge and organized a
+great team of developers. Our first release in late 2001 was version

+bar buttons.
+
+Then, indexed searches, improved MIME handling, a speedbar, multiple
+identities, alias completion, an index view of unseen messages, spam
+software support, Face and X-Image-URL header field support, Fcc
+completion, arbitrary range handling, and draft form editing were
+introduced in the version 7 series around the time of Emacs 21.4
+(2004). Still, Emacs itself contained version 5 of MH-E released back
+in 1994.
+
+Version 8 development was mostly driven by the rewrite of the manual.
+It also brought mailutils support, S/MIME support, picon support, and
+an improved interface for hiding header fields. The CVS repository was
+migrated from SourceForge to Savannah (only for those files that were
+already part of Emacs) and the software was completely reorganized to
+push back two decades of entropy. Version 8 will appear in Emacs 22.1,
+expected to be released in 2006.

+PREAMBLE
+
+The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other
+functional and useful document ``free'' in the sense of freedom: to
+assure everyone the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it,
+with or without modifying it, either commercially or noncommercially.
+Secondarily, this License preserves for the author and publisher a way
+to get credit for their work, while not being considered responsible
+for modifications made by others.
+
+This License is a kind of ``copyleft'', which means that derivative
+works of the document must themselves be free in the same sense. It
+complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft
+license designed for free software.
+
+We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for free
+software, because free software needs free documentation: a free
+program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms that the
+software does. But this License is not limited to software manuals;
+it can be used for any textual work, regardless of subject matter or
+whether it is published as a printed book. We recommend this License
+principally for works whose purpose is instruction or reference.
+
address@hidden 1
address@hidden
+APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS
+
+This License applies to any manual or other work, in any medium, that
+contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be
+distributed under the terms of this License. Such a notice grants a
+world-wide, royalty-free license, unlimited in duration, to use that
+work under the conditions stated herein. The ``Document'', below,
+refers to any such manual or work. Any member of the public is a
+licensee, and is addressed as ``you''. You accept the license if you
+copy, modify or distribute the work in a way requiring permission
+under copyright law.
+
+A ``Modified Version'' of the Document means any work containing the
+Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with
+modifications and/or translated into another language.
+
+A ``Secondary Section'' is a named appendix or a front-matter section of
+the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the
+publishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall subject
+(or to related matters) and contains nothing that could fall directly
+within that overall subject. (Thus, if the Document is in part a
+textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain any
+mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of historical
+connection with the subject or with related matters, or of legal,
+commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position regarding
+them.
+
+The ``Invariant Sections'' are certain Secondary Sections whose titles
+are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the notice
+that says that the Document is released under this License. If a
+section does not fit the above definition of Secondary then it is not
+allowed to be designated as Invariant. The Document may contain zero
+Invariant Sections. If the Document does not identify any Invariant
+Sections then there are none.
+
+The ``Cover Texts'' are certain short passages of text that are listed,
+as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice that says that
+the Document is released under this License. A Front-Cover Text may
+be at most 5 words, and a Back-Cover Text may be at most 25 words.
+
+A ``Transparent'' copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy,
+represented in a format whose specification is available to the
+general public, that is suitable for revising the document
+straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed of
+pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some widely available
+drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text formatters or
+for automatic translation to a variety of formats suitable for input
+to text formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file
+format whose markup, or absence of markup, has been arranged to thwart
+or discourage subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent.
+An image format is not Transparent if used for any substantial amount
+of text. A copy that is not ``Transparent'' is called ``Opaque.''
+
+
+Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain
+ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format, SGML
+or XML using a publicly available DTD, and standard-conforming simple
+HTML, PostScript or PDF designed for human modification. Examples of
+transparent image formats include PNG, XCF and JPG. Opaque formats
+include proprietary formats that can be read and edited only by
+proprietary word processors, SGML or XML for which the DTD and/or
+processing tools are not generally available, and the
+machine-generated HTML, PostScript or PDF produced by some word
+processors for output purposes only.
+
+The ``Title Page'' means, for a printed book, the title page itself,
+plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the material
+this License requires to appear in the title page. For works in
+formats which do not have any title page as such, ``Title Page'' means
+the text near the most prominent appearance of the work's title,
+preceding the beginning of the body of the text.
+
+A section ``Entitled XYZ'' means a named subunit of the Document whose
+title either is precisely XYZ or contains XYZ in parentheses following
+text that translates XYZ in another language. (Here XYZ stands for a
+specific section name mentioned below, such as ``Acknowledgements'',
+``Dedications'', ``Endorsements'', or ``History''.) To ``Preserve the Title''
+of such a section when you modify the Document means that it remains a
+section ``Entitled XYZ'' according to this definition.
+
+The Document may include Warranty Disclaimers next to the notice which
+states that this License applies to the Document. These Warranty
+Disclaimers are considered to be included by reference in this
+License, but only as regards disclaiming warranties: any other
+implication that these Warranty Disclaimers may have is void and has
+no effect on the meaning of this License.

+VERBATIM COPYING
+
+You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either
+commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the
+copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License applies
+to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you add no other
+conditions whatsoever to those of this License. You may not use
+technical measures to obstruct or control the reading or further
+copying of the copies you make or distribute. However, you may accept
+compensation in exchange for copies. If you distribute a large enough
+number of copies you must also follow the conditions in section 3.
+
+You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and
+you may publicly display copies.
address@hidden 1
address@hidden
+COPYING IN QUANTITY
+
+If you publish printed copies (or copies in media that commonly have
+printed covers) of the Document, numbering more than 100, and the
+Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must enclose the
+copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these Cover
+Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and Back-Cover Texts on
+the back cover. Both covers must also clearly and legibly identify
+you as the publisher of these copies. The front cover must present
+the full title with all words of the title equally prominent and
+visible. You may add other material on the covers in addition.
+Copying with changes limited to the covers, as long as they preserve
+the title of the Document and satisfy these conditions, can be treated
+as verbatim copying in other respects.
+
+If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit
+legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit
+reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent
+pages.
+
+If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering
+more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable Transparent
+copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy
+a computer-network location from which the general network-using
+public has access to download using public-standard network protocols
+a complete Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material.
+If you use the latter option, you must take reasonably prudent steps,
+when you begin distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure
+that this Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated
+location until at least one year after the last time you distribute an
+Opaque copy (directly or through your agents or retailers) of that
+edition to the public.
+
+It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of the
+Document well before redistributing any large number of copies, to give
+them a chance to provide you with an updated version of the Document.
address@hidden 1
address@hidden
+MODIFICATIONS
+
+You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document under
+the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you release
+the Modified Version under precisely this License, with the Modified
+Version filling the role of the Document, thus licensing distribution
+and modification of the Modified Version to whoever possesses a copy
+of it. In addition, you must do these things in the Modified Version:
+
+A. Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title distinct
+ from that of the Document, and from those of previous versions
+ (which should, if there were any, be listed in the History section
+ of the Document). You may use the same title as a previous version
+ if the original publisher of that version gives address@hidden
+B. List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or entities
+ responsible for authorship of the modifications in the Modified
+ Version, together with at least five of the principal authors of the
+ Document (all of its principal authors, if it has fewer than five),
+ unless they release you from this address@hidden
+C. State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the
+ Modified Version, as the address@hidden
+D. Preserve all the copyright notices of the address@hidden
+E. Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications
+ adjacent to the other copyright address@hidden
+F. Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license notice
+ giving the public permission to use the Modified Version under the
+ terms of this License, in the form shown in the Addendum address@hidden
+G. Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant Sections
+ and required Cover Texts given in the Document's license address@hidden
+H. Include an unaltered copy of this address@hidden
+I. Preserve the section Entitled ``History'', Preserve its Title, and add
+ to it an item stating at least the title, year, new authors, and
+ publisher of the Modified Version as given on the Title Page. If
+ there is no section Entitled ``History'' in the Document, create one
+ stating the title, year, authors, and publisher of the Document as
+ given on its Title Page, then add an item describing the Modified
+ Version as stated in the previous address@hidden
+J. Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for
+ public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and likewise
+ the network locations given in the Document for previous versions
+ it was based on. These may be placed in the ``History'' section.
+ You may omit a network location for a work that was published at
+ least four years before the Document itself, or if the original
+ publisher of the version it refers to gives address@hidden
+K. For any section Entitled ``Acknowledgements'' or ``Dedications'',
+ Preserve the Title of the section, and preserve in the section all
+ the substance and tone of each of the contributor acknowledgements
+ and/or dedications given address@hidden
+L. Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document,
+ unaltered in their text and in their titles. Section numbers
+ or the equivalent are not considered part of the section address@hidden
+M. Delete any section Entitled ``Endorsements.'' Such a section
+ may not be included in the Modified address@hidden
+N. Do not retitle any existing section to be Entitled ``Endorsements''
+ or to conflict in title with any Invariant address@hidden
+O. Preserve any Warranty address@hidden
address@hidden 1
+If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or
+appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no material
+copied from the Document, you may at your option designate some or all
+of these sections as invariant. To do this, add their titles to the
+list of Invariant Sections in the Modified Version's license notice.
+These titles must be distinct from any other section titles.
+
+You may add a section Entitled ``Endorsements'', provided it contains
+nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various
+parties--for example, statements of peer review or that the text has
+been approved by an organization as the authoritative definition of a
+standard.
+
+You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and a
+passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of the list
+of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one passage of
+Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or
+through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the Document already
+includes a cover text for the same cover, previously added by you or
+by arrangement made by the same entity you are acting on behalf of,
+you may not add another; but you may replace the old one, on explicit
+permission from the previous publisher that added the old one.
+
+The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License
+give permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert or
+imply endorsement of any Modified Version.
address@hidden 1
address@hidden
+COMBINING DOCUMENTS
+
+You may combine the Document with other documents released under this
+License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for modified
+versions, provided that you include in the combination all of the
+Invariant Sections of all of the original documents, unmodified, and
+list them all as Invariant Sections of your combined work in its
+license notice, and that you preserve all their Warranty Disclaimers.
+
+The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and
+multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single
+copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name but
+different contents, make the title of each such section unique by
+adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the original
+author or publisher of that section if known, or else a unique number.
+Make the same adjustment to the section titles in the list of
+Invariant Sections in the license notice of the combined work.
+
+In the combination, you must combine any sections Entitled ``History''
+in the various original documents, forming one section Entitled
+``History''; likewise combine any sections Entitled ``Acknowledgements'',
+and any sections Entitled ``Dedications.'' You must delete all sections
+Entitled ``Endorsements.''

+COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS
+
+You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other documents
+released under this License, and replace the individual copies of this
+License in the various documents with a single copy that is included in
+the collection, provided that you follow the rules of this License for
+verbatim copying of each of the documents in all other respects.
+
+You may extract a single document from such a collection, and distribute
+it individually under this License, provided you insert a copy of this
+License into the extracted document, and follow this License in all
+other respects regarding verbatim copying of that document.
address@hidden 1
address@hidden
+AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS
+
+A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other separate
+and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a storage or
+distribution medium, is called an ``aggregate'' if the copyright
+resulting from the compilation is not used to limit the legal rights
+of the compilation's users beyond what the individual works permit.
+When the Document is included in an aggregate, this License does not
+apply to the other works in the aggregate which are not themselves
+derivative works of the Document.
+
+If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these
+copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one half of
+the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed on
+covers that bracket the Document within the aggregate, or the
+electronic equivalent of covers if the Document is in electronic form.
+Otherwise they must appear on printed covers that bracket the whole
+aggregate.
address@hidden 1
address@hidden
+TRANSLATION
+
+Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may
+distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section 4.
+Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special
+permission from their copyright holders, but you may include
+translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the
+original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include a
+translation of this License, and all the license notices in the
+Document, and any Warranty Disclaimers, provided that you also include
+the original English version of this License and the original versions
+of those notices and disclaimers. In case of a disagreement between
+the translation and the original version of this License or a notice
+or disclaimer, the original version will prevail.
+
+If a section in the Document is Entitled ``Acknowledgements'',
+``Dedications'', or ``History'', the requirement (section 4) to Preserve
+its Title (section 1) will typically require changing the actual
+title.
address@hidden 1
address@hidden
+TERMINATION
+
+You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document except
+as expressly provided for under this License. Any other attempt to
+copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Document is void, and will
+automatically terminate your rights under this License. However,
+parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this
+License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
+parties remain in full compliance.

address@hidden Preamble
+
+ The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
+freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public
+License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
+software---to make sure the software is free for all its users. This
+General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
+Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
+using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
+the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.) You can apply it to
+your programs, too.
+
+ When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
+price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
+have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
+this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
+if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
+in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.
+
+ To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
+anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
+These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
+distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
+
+ For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
+gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
+you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
+source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their
+rights.
+
+ We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
+(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
+distribute and/or modify the software.
+
+ Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
+that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
+software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
+want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
+that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
+authors' reputations.
+
+ Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
+patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
+program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
+program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
+patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.
+
+ The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
+modification follow.

address@hidden
address@hidden TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
address@hidden ifinfo
+
address@hidden 0
address@hidden
+This License applies to any program or other work which contains
+a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
+under the terms of this General Public License. The ``Program,'' below,
+refers to any such program or work, and a ``work based on the Program''
+means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
+that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
+either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
+language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
+the term ``modification.'') Each licensee is addressed as ``you.''
+
+Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
+covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of
+running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
+is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
+Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
+Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
+
address@hidden
+You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
+source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
+conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
+copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
+notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
+and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
+along with the Program.
+
+You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
+you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
+
address@hidden
+You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
+of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
+distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
+above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
+
address@hidden a
address@hidden
+You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
+stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
+
address@hidden
+You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
+whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
+part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
+parties under the terms of this License.
+
address@hidden
+If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
+when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
+interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
+announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
+notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
+a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
+these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
+License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
+does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
+the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
address@hidden enumerate
+
+These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If
+identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
+and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
+themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
+sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you
+distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
+on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
+this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
+entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
+
+Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
+your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
+exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
+collective works based on the Program.
+
+In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
+with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
+a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
+the scope of this License.
+
address@hidden
+You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
+under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
+Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:
+
address@hidden a
address@hidden
+Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
+source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
+1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
+
address@hidden
+Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
+years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
+cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
+machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
+distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
+customarily used for software interchange; or,
+
address@hidden
+Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
+to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is
+allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
+received the program in object code or executable form with such
+an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
address@hidden enumerate
+
+The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
+making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source
+code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
+associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
+control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a
+special exception, the source code distributed need not include
+anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
+form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
+operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
+itself accompanies the executable.
+
+If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
+access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
+access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
+distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
+compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
+
address@hidden
+You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
+except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
+otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
+void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
+However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
+this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
+parties remain in full compliance.
+
address@hidden
+You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
+signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
+distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are
+prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
+modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
+Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
+all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
+the Program or works based on it.
+
address@hidden
+Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
+Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
+original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
+these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
+restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
+You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
+this License.
+
address@hidden
+If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
+infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
+conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
+otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
+excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
+distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
+License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
+may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent
+license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
+all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
+the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
+refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
+
+If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
+any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
+apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
+circumstances.
+
+It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
+patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
+such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
+integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
+implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
+generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
+through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
+system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
+to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
+impose that choice.
+
+This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
+be a consequence of the rest of this License.
+
address@hidden
+If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
+certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
+original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
+may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
+those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
+countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates
+the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
+
address@hidden
+The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
+of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will
+be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
+address new problems or concerns.
+
+Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program
+specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and ``any
+later version,'' you have the option of following the terms and conditions
+either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
+Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of
+this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
+Foundation.
+
address@hidden
+If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
+programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
+to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free
+Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
+make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals
+of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
+of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.

address@hidden How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
+
+ If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
+possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
+free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.
+
+ To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest
+to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
+convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
+the ``copyright'' line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.
+
