188 @chapter Start up Wanderlust
191 The necessary procedure for starting Wanderlust is explained in steps
194 (Of course, you need a mail/news readable environment in advance)
197 * MIME Modules:: Installing the MIME modules.
198 * Download:: Download and extract the packages.
199 * Install:: Byte-compile and install.
200 * Minimal Settings:: @file{.emacs} setup.
201 * Mail Addresses:: Address book definition.
202 * Folder Definition:: Folder definition.
203 * Start Wanderlust:: Starting Wanderlust
207 @node MIME Modules, Download, Start Me Up, Start Me Up
208 @section Installing MIME modules
215 SEMI or tm must be installed to make Wanderlust work correctly.
217 SEMI does not run on Emacs 19.28 or earlier
218 @footnote{SEMI runs on Emacs 19.34. @*
219 @uref{http://www.jpl.org/elips/INSTALL-SEMI-ja.html} describes how to.},
220 so you must install tm, the predecessor of SEMI. (tm version 8.7 or later
223 However, SEMI is recommended because of its wider functionality.
225 Refer to the documents of each package for detailed installation procedure.
227 SEMI and tm can be downloaded from these sites:
231 SEMI: ftp://ftp.m17n.org/pub/mule/semi/
232 tm: http://cvs.m17n.org/tomo/comp/emacsen/tm/tm-8/
236 You need packages named APEL and FLIM to use SEMI.
237 You can download APEL and FLIM from following URLs:
241 APEL: ftp://ftp.m17n.org/pub/mule/apel/
242 FLIM: ftp://ftp.m17n.org/pub/mule/flim/
246 You have to install APEL, FLIM and SEMI in this order. Generally
247 @samp{make install} will do the job. (In XEmacs 21, @samp{make
250 Recommended combination of APEL, FLIM and SEMI are following:
253 @item APEL 10.2, FLIM 1.13.2 and SEMI 1.13.7
256 You can also use many other FLIM/SEMI variants. Combination of the
257 latest versions should work. For example, following combination is
261 @item APEL 10.2, Chao 1.14.1, REMI 1.14.2
262 @item APEL 10.2, SLIM 1.14.3, EMY 1.13.9
265 You have to re-install Wanderlust if you upgraded APEL, FLIM, SEMI or
269 @node Download, Install, MIME Modules, Start Me Up
270 @section Download and Extract the Package
273 You can download Wanderlust package from following sites:
277 ftp://ftp.gohome.org/wl/
280 Mirrored ftp/http sites:
284 ftp://ftp.jaist.ac.jp/pub/GNU/elisp/ftp.gohome.org/wl/

288 ftp://opaopa.org/pub/mirror/elisp/wl/
289 @c ftp://roguelife.org/pub/tsumura/wl/
293 Extract the obtained package to your working directory:
298 % tar zxvf wl-@var{version}.tar.gz
299 % cd wl-@var{version}
303 @subsection To use SSL (Secure Socket Layer)
308 SSL (Secure Socket Layer) can be used for
309 SMTP, IMAP, NNTP and POP connections in Wanderlust.
311 There are two ways to use SSL. One is to start SSL negotiation just
312 after the connection establishment (generic way). The other one is to
313 start SSL negotiation by invoking STARTTLS command in the each session.
315 To use the formar SSL (generic SSL), you must install @file{ssl.el} in
316 the @file{utils} directory. OpenSSL command @command{openssl} is also
317 required to use @file{ssl.el}. You must set @env{PATH} to the directory
318 that OpenSSL commands are installed.
320 To use the latter SSL(STARTTLS), you must install starttls package in
322 You can download starttls package from the following site.
325 ftp://opaopa.org/pub/elisp/
328 @node Install, Minimal Settings, Download, Start Me Up
329 @section Byte-compile and install
336 @subsection Installation
338 Edit @code{LISPDIR} and @code{EMACS} in @file{Makefile}.
339 Set the Emacs's command name to @code{EMACS}.
340 Set package installation directory to @code{LISPDIR}.
341 Then, please execute following commands.
350 Destination directory is auto-probed if you leave @code{LISPDIR}
351 in @file{Makefile} as is. (That is, leave it as @samp{NONE})
353 If you are using an Emacs variant which does not merge specified directory
354 to @code{load-path} (e.g. Mule 2.3 based on Emacs 19.28),
355 then you will see the error message:
358 Cannot open load file: mime-setup
362 In this case, either add destination directories of custom, APEL, FLIM
363 and SEMI to environmental variable @env{EMACSLOADPATH}, or define
364 @code{load-path} in @file{WL-CFG} in extracted directory.
366 If you want to use BBDB, then the necessary modules are byte-compiled
367 and installed when BBDB directory is added to @code{load-path}.
370 @subsection @file{WL-CFG}
372 Contents of the file @file{WL-CFG} is loaded under installation if a file
373 with that name exists in extracted directory. You can use @file{WL-CFG} to
374 configure @code{load-path} to extra packages such as SEMI if needed.
376 If you want to specify the install directory of Wanderlust related
377 files, then set following variables in @file{WL-CFG}
381 A directory to install WL modules.
382 This directory is relative directory from @code{LISPDIR}.
383 WL modules include @file{wl*.el}, @file{wl*.elc} files.
384 @c Modules under the directory @file{util/} are also installed if
385 @c it detected as necessary.
388 A directory to install ELMO modules.
389 This directory is relative directory from @code{LISPDIR}.
390 ELMO modules include @file{elmo*.el}, @file{elmo*.elc} files.
391 @c @file{utf7.el}, @file{utf7.elc} are also included in the ELMO.
395 Default value of @code{WL_PREFIX} and @code{ELMO_PREFIX} are @file{wl}.
397 If you want to install ELMO related files under a sub-directory
398 such as "elmo" then add following to @file{WL-CFG}:
401 (setq ELMO_PREFIX "elmo")
404 @subsection Install as a XEmacs package
405 @cindex XEmacs package
406 @cindex XEmacs package install
407 @cindex Package, XEmacs
408 @cindex Package install, XEmacs
409 @c @cindex install-package
411 It is possible to install Wanderlust as one of packages of XEmacs (21.0
412 or later). Configuration for autoload and icon-path in local
413 @file{~/.emacs} files are no longer necessary, if you install Wanderlust
416 Follow the next example to install Wanderlust as an XEmacs package.
422 % make install-package
426 package directory is auto-probed, if SEMI is installed.
427 (you can also specify it with @code{PACKAGEDIR} in @file{Makefile})
429 @subsection Run in place
431 If wl and elmo directories are defined in @code{load-path}, then
432 byte-compilation and installation are not necessary to start Wanderlust.
433 For example, if package is extracted in @file{~/work}, Wanderlust can be
434 invoked with following setting in @file{~/.emacs}.
438 (add-to-list 'load-path "~/work/wl-@var{version}/wl")
439 (add-to-list 'load-path "~/work/wl-@var{version}/elmo")
445 Manual is described in Info format. Please do following.
454 If you install Wanderlust as a XEmacs package, Info file is already
455 installed too, so there are no need of these commands.
457 Manual directory is automatically detected. Of course, it can be
458 configured by @code{INFODIR} in @file{Makefile}.
460 You can read manual at the following URL:
463 http://www.gohome.org/wl/doc/wl-euc_toc.html
466 @node Minimal Settings, Mail Addresses, Install, Start Me Up
467 @section Set up .emacs
468 @cindex Minimal Settings
470 @cindex Configuration
474 The Wanderlust package contains two module groups.
477 @item ELMO (elmo-*.el)
478 These modules show everything as folders. This is the back-end for WL.
480 These modules controls the behavior of main body of Wanderlust.
481 They are also the front-end for ELMO.
484 You can customize the behavior of Wanderlust by changing the value
485 of environmental variables which begins with @code{elmo-} and @code{wl-}.
487 The minimal requirement for settings is as the following.
491 ;; @r{The setting to use SEMI/tm}
494 ;; @r{autoload configuration}
495 ;; @r{(These are not required if Wanderlust is installed as XEmacs package)}
496 (autoload 'wl "wl" "Wanderlust" t)
497 (autoload 'wl-draft "wl-draft" "Write draft with Wanderlust." t)
499 ;; @r{Directory where icons are placed (XEmacs or Emacs 21).}
500 ;; @r{Default: @code{nil}.}
501 ;; @r{(This is not required if Wanderlust is installed as XEmacs package)}
502 (setq wl-icon-dir "~/work/wl/etc")
504 ;; @r{SMTP server for mail posting. Default: @code{nil}}
505 (setq wl-smtp-posting-server "your.smtp.server.com")
506 ;; @r{NNTP server for news posting. Default: @code{nil}}
507 (setq wl-nntp-posting-server "your.nntp.server.com")
511 @file{~/.wl} is automatically loaded when Wanderlust starts up (if such a
512 file exists). So it is convenient to gather Wanderlust specific settings
513 in @file{~/.wl}. Settings for "face" must be written in @file{~/.wl},
514 because you can't write them in @file{.emacs}
515 (if you write it to @file{.emacs}, you'll get an error).
518 All above described settings except (load "mime-setup") and autoload
519 configuration can be written in
522 @subsection @code{mail-user-agent}
523 @cindex Default Mailer
524 @cindex Mailer, Default
525 @vindex mail-user-agent
528 If you write following setting in you @file{.emacs}, you can
529 start Wanderlust draft mode by typing @kbd{C-x m} (@code{compose-mail}).
530 This means it enables you to run Wanderlust as a default mail composer
533 It is effective only when your Emacs can define @code{mail-user-agent}.
534 @xref{Mail Methods, , ,emacs-ja, The Emacs Editor}.
538 (autoload 'wl-user-agent-compose "wl-draft" nil t)
539 (if (boundp 'mail-user-agent)
540 (setq mail-user-agent 'wl-user-agent))

552 @node Mail Addresses, Folder Definition, Minimal Settings, Start Me Up
553 @section Address book
554 @cindex Address book Definition
556 @cindex Alias, Address
558 The file @file{~/.addresses} is a simple address book for Wanderlust.
559 Make address file @file{~/.addresses}, and edit to suit your requirement.
561 The data written in @file{~/.addresses} are used for address completion
562 under draft editing mode. Furthermore, they are used when showing names
563 in summary display mode. You can safely skip this section, if you don't
564 want to customize address completion and summary display.
565 It is possible to add/change/remove addresses from @file{~/.addresses} in
566 summary buffer after Wanderlust is invoked. @refill
568 The format is very simple. Like this. @refill
573 # @r{Lines begin with @samp{#} are comment.}
574 # @r{Empty lines are ignored}
576 # @r{Format of each line:}
577 # @var{email-address} "@var{nickname} "@var{realname}"
579 teranisi@@gohome.org "Yuuichi" "Yuuichi Teranishi"
580 foo@@bar.gohome.org "Mr. Foo" "John Foo"
581 bar@@foo.gohome.org "Mr. Bar" "Michael Bar"
586 One line defines one persons description.
588 Actually, in default setup, @var{nickname} is used in summary-mode and
589 @var{realname} is used in draft preparation mode. This behavior is
590 better understood if you try it and confirmed the function first. You
591 can write and try a small definition, so you will know the idea of the
592 address book before writing a big one.
594 And, if MH alias file is specified in variable @code{wl-alias-file},
595 it is used as an address information in the draft preparation mode.
597 If variable @code{wl-use-ldap} is non-nil (initial setting is
598 @code{nil}), address completion in draft mode uses LDAP information.
600 If you use LDAP, you have to set @code{wl-ldap-server},
601 @code{wl-ldap-port} and @code{wl-ldap-base} properly. If your emacs does
602 not have LDAP feature as built-in feature (Currently only XEmacs can
603 have built-in LDAP feature), you have to set command exec @env{PATH} to
604 the program @command{ldapsearch}.
606 @node Folder Definition, Start Wanderlust, Mail Addresses, Start Me Up
607 @section Folder Definition
608 @cindex Folder Definition
611 You can skip this section because it is possible to add/edit the
612 subscribe folders from the buffer for list of folders.
614 Define the folders you want to subscribe in file @file{~/.folders}. The
615 contents written in @file{~/.folders} become the folders which you
616 subscribe to as it is.
618 Format for @file{~/.folders} is very simple. Here is an example:
623 # @r{Lines begin with @samp{#} are comment.}
624 # @r{Empty lines are ignored}
626 # @var{folder name} "@var{folder nickname}"
627 # @r{(nicknames are not necessary)}
632 %#mh/Backup@@my.imap.server.com "Sent"
635 %#mh/spool/wl "Wanderlust ML"
636 %#mh/spool/elips "ELIPS ML"
637 %#mh/spool/apel-ja "APEL Japanese ML"
638 %#mh/spool/xemacs-beta "XEmacs beta"

640 *-fj.editor.xemacs,-fj.editor.mule,-fj.editor.emacs "fj's Emacsen"
643 # @r{If folder name ends with @samp{/}, that means an `access group',}
644 # @r{all subfolders automatically included in one folder group.}
646 %#mh/expire@@localhost /
647 # @r{All MH folders are included in one folder group.}
652 Each line contains one folder you want to read. The definition of
653 folders will be explained in detail in the next section.
655 The part surrounded by @samp{@var{group name}@{} and @samp{@}} will
656 become one folder group. One folder group is treated as a directory
657 which can bed opened and closed in folder mode. It is convenient for
658 collecting some folders and putting them in order.
660 Please note that @samp{@var{group name}@{} and @samp{@}} occupies one
661 line and you have to write it that way (It is because the parser sucks).
663 There are two types of groups. One is like @samp{Emacsen} from above
664 example which the user chooses his favorite folders as a group.
666 The other one is @dfn{access group} like @samp{+} from above example.
667 It makes all the sub-folders in a folder to a group. (It differs from
668 the type of the folder. For example, @samp{+} makes entire MH
669 sub-directories to one group)
671 This behavior is better understood if you try it and confirmed the
672 function first. You can write and try a small folder definition, so you
673 will know the idea of the folder function before writing the real one.

679 If installation and configuration worked well, you can invoke Wanderlust by
680 typing following command in Emacs.
687 After initialization, Folder Mode which shows the list of folders will appear.
688 That means the folders you defined in the @file{~/.folders} are listed
689 If you start Wanderlust with prefix argument like @kbd{C-u M-x wl}, you
690 can skip folder checking.

694 @chapter Wanderlust's folders
697 This chapter describes the folder types which Wanderlust is able to handle.
699 Wanderlust uses ELMO as it's interface, so every folder types supported
700 by ELMO is usable in Wanderlust.
702 As of version @value{VERSION}, 10 types of folders are predefined. These are
703 IMAP, NNTP, LocalDir(MH), News Spool, POP, Archive, Multi, Filter, Pipe
704 and Internal folder types.
707 * IMAP Folder:: @samp{%} -- IMAP folder
708 * NNTP Folder:: @samp{-} -- NNTP folder
709 * MH Folder:: @samp{+} -- MH folder
710 * Maildir Folder:: @samp{.} -- Maildir folder
711 * News Spool Folder:: @samp{=} -- News spool folder
712 * Archive Folder:: @samp{$} -- Archive folder
713 * POP Folder:: @samp{&} -- POP folder
714 * Multi Folder:: @samp{*} -- Multi folder
715 * Filter Folder:: @samp{/} -- Filter folder
716 * Pipe Folder:: @samp{|} -- Pipe folder
717 * Internal Folder:: @samp{'} -- Internal folder
721 @node IMAP Folder, NNTP Folder, Folders, Folders
728 A folder to access e-mails via IMAP4rev1 protocol (RFC 2060).
734 @samp{%} @var{mailbox} [@samp{:} @var{username} [@samp{/} @var{authenticate-type}]][@samp{@@} @var{hostname}][@samp{:} @var{port}][@samp{!}]
738 You can specify @code{login} (encoded password transmission),
739 @code{cram-md5} (CRAM-MD5 authentication), @code{digest-md5} (DIGEST-MD5
740 authentication) or @code{plain} (or @code{nil}, plain password
741 transmission) as @var{authenticate-type}. (To use CRAM-MD5 or
742 DIGEST-MD5 authentication, you must install @file{utils/sasl} package.)
747 @var{username} -> The value of @code{elmo-default-imap4-user}.
748 Initial setting is @env{USER} environment variable or
749 @env{LOGNAME} environment variable or return value of
750 @code{(user-login-name)}.
751 @var{authenticate-type} -> The value of @code{elmo-default-imap4-authenticate-type}.
752 Initial setting is "auth".
753 @var{hostname} -> The value of @code{elmo-default-imap4-server}.
754 Initial setting is "localhost".
755 @var{port} -> The value of @code{elmo-default-imap4-port}.
756 Initial setting is 143.
759 You can omit the @var{hostname} from folder names if you set
760 @code{elmo-default-imap4-server} as your main IMAP server.
761 For example, you can specify a folder as @samp{foo%imap@@gateway} even
762 if you have to go through a firewall.
764 SSL (Secure Socket Layer) connection will be used if a folder name
765 ends with @samp{!}. Or, if the value of @code{elmo-default-imap4-ssl} is non-nil,
766 SSL will be the default connection.
767 If a folder name ends with @samp{!!}, STARTTLS connection will be established.
768 If the value of @code{elmo-default-imap4-ssl} is 'starttls,
769 STARTTLS will be the default connection.
771 If you specify @code{login}, @code{cram-md5} or @code{digest-md5} as
772 authentication method, the password is sent in encoded form. But, if
773 your server is unable to receive an encoded password, authentication
774 will fall back to @code{plain} (that is, sending password in raw format)
775 after confirmation to user. If @code{elmo-imap4-force-login} is non-nil,

794 @subsection International mailbox names (Modified UTF7)
795 @cindex Modified UTF7
802 You can use international mailbox names in @var{mailbox} part, if you
803 are using Emacs which can treat unicode and
804 @code{elmo-imap4-use-modified-utf7} is set to non-nil value (default
805 value is @code{nil}).
807 Currently, following Emacsen can treat unicode.
810 @item Emacs 20.3 or later + Mule-UCS
812 If you installed Mule-UCS package, Emacs can treat unicode.
813 You can obtain Mule-UCS package from following URL.
816 ftp://ftp.m17n.org/pub/mule/Mule-UCS/
819 @item XEmacs 21.2.13 or later + ucs-conv package
821 By default, XEmacs 21 cannot treat unicodes, but if you installed
822 ucs-conv package, it can.
823 You can obtain ucs-conv package from following anonymous CVS.
827 cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@@cvs.m17n.org:/cvs/root login
828 Password: @var{NULL} (Just enter return key)
829 cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@@cvs.m17n.org:/cvs/root checkout ucs-conv
833 You also need utf7 conversion programs, @command{u7tou8} and
834 @command{u8tou7} to use international mailbox name in the current
835 XEmacs. These programs are included in the UTF7 package which can be
836 obtained from following URL.
839 ftp://ftp.ifcss.org/pub/software/unix/convert/utf7.tar.gz
843 @node NNTP Folder, MH Folder, IMAP Folder, Folders
848 A folder to access USENET news via NNTP protocol (RFC 977).
849 One newsgroup is treated as a folder.
855 @samp{-} @var{newsgroup} [[@samp{:} @var{username}][@samp{@@} @var{hostname}][@samp{:} @var{port}]][@samp{!}]
861 @var{hostname} -> The value of @code{elmo-default-nntp-server}.
862 Initial setting is @samp{localhost}.

864 Initial setting is @code{nil}.
865 @var{port} -> The value of @code{elmo-default-nntp-port}.
866 Initial setting is 119.
869 AUTHINFO is used as authentication method if the @var{username} is non-nil.
870 SSL will be default method if @code{elmo-default-nntp-ssl} is non-nil even
871 if the folder name doesn't end with @samp{!}.
872 If a folder name ends with @samp{!!}, STARTTLS connection will be established.
873 if the value of @code{elmo-default-nntp-ssl} is @code{starttls},
874 STARTTLS will be the default connection.

885 @node MH Folder, Maildir Folder, NNTP Folder, Folders
891 A folder to access MH format mail (1 file is 1 mail).
896 @samp{+} @var{directory-name}
899 Normally, @var{directory-name} is an relative path to the variable
900 @code{elmo-localdir-folder-path} (default is @file{~/Mail}), but if it
901 starts with @samp{/} or @samp{~}, then it is treated as an absolute path
902 (this is also true for drive-letters).
904 Message number is used for the name of the message file.
910 +inbox -> @file{~/Mail/inbox}
911 +from/teranisi -> @file{~/Mail/from/teranisi}
912 +~/test -> @file{~/test}
916 @node Maildir Folder, News Spool Folder, MH Folder, Folders
917 @section Maildir Folder
918 @cindex Maildir Folder
922 A folder to access to Maildir format (1 file is 1 mail).
927 @samp{.} [@var{directory-name}]
930 Normally, @var{directory-name} is a relative path to the variable
931 @code{elmo-maildir-folder-path} (default is @file{~/Maildir}), but if it
932 starts with @samp{/} or @samp{~}, then it is treated as an absolute path
933 (this is also true for drive-letters).
935 Maildir contains @file{cur}, @file{new} and @file{tmp} subdirectories.
936 Messages are contained in the @file{cur} directory. All message files
937 in the @file{new} directory are moved to @file{cur} directory when you
938 access to the folder. All message files contained in the @file{tmp}
939 directory and not accessed for 36 hours are deleted.
941 This behavior conforms to the @uref{http://cr.yp.to/proto/maildir.html}.
947 . -> @file{~/Maildir}

961 This folder handles locally saved news articles which are proposed by
962 Mew/IM. You can also read articles directly from a spool-file which is
963 retrieved by an utility like @command{gnspool}.
968 @samp{=} @var{directory-name}
971 @var{directory-name} is a sub-directory to the directory defined by
972 variable @code{elmo-localnews-folder-path} (default is @file{~/News})
973 You can use @samp{.} as directory delimiter as well as @samp{/}.

992 such as Info-ZIP or LHA, as one folder.
998 @samp{$} @var{path-name} [@samp{;} @var{archiver-type} @samp{;} @var{prefix}]
1002 @var{path-name} is the relative path from
1003 @code{elmo-archive-folder-path} (initial setting is @file{~/Mail}). If
1004 @var{path-name} begins with @samp{/} or @samp{~} or `drive-letter of
1005 DOS', @var{path-name} is treated as absolute path. ange-ftp format is
1006 also permitted under the environment of ange-ftp, efs.
1008 The actual file name of the archive folder is
1009 @code{elmo-archive-basename} (Initial setting is @file{elmo-archive})
1010 under the @var{path-name}. If a file named @var{path-name} exists, it is
1011 treated as folder. The suffix is automatically decided for
1012 @var{archiver-type}.
1014 If @var{archiver-type} is omitted, @code{elmo-archive-default-type}
1015 (Initial setting is @code{zip}) is referred.
1017 @var{prefix} specifies the internal directory structure of the archive.
1018 For example, if the ML server is fml, @file{msend.tar.gz} has a
1019 structure like @file{spool/1}, so you have to specify @samp{spool} as
1026 $teranisi -> @file{~/Mail/teranisi/elmo-archive.zip}
1027 $bsd/freebsd;lha -> @file{~/Mail/bsd/freebsd/elmo-archive.lzh}
1028 $/foo@@server:~/bar;zoo -> @file{~/bar/elmo-archive.zoo} on ftp server

1051 By default, following archives are supported.
1055 LHA, Info-ZIP/UNZIP, ZOO, RAR ;; full-access
1056 GNU TAR('tgz, 'tar) ;; read-only
1060 If your archiver can include multiple files in one archive, you have a
1061 possibility use it as an archiver of Wanderlust (ARJ/UNARJ, ARC is one
1062 of the candidate. TAR is supported read-only because it cannot delete
1063 file in the archive (@code{mv})).
1065 @command{gzip}, @command{bzip}, @command{bzip2} cannot be used as an
1066 archiver of Wanderlust because they cannot include multiple
1067 files. Archivers that cannot extract files to standard output are also

1106 * Caution about GNU tar
1108 You have to take care about GNU tar's version because many version has
1109 problem on deleting file from archive.

1112 archive will be destroyed. No problem is reported on above versions of
1116 @node Archive Tips, Archive Vars, Archiver, Archive Folder
1118 @cindex Archive Tips
1120 For comfortable migration, usage of @code{wl-summary-archive}
1121 (@pxref{Archive}) or Expire (@pxref{Expire}) is recommended. To treat
1122 archive folders created by expiration, you must set non-nil value to
1123 @code{elmo-archive-treat-file}.
1125 On the OS/2, there is a great difference between Mule2.3(19.28) and Emacs20.2
1126 in processing speed. For comfortable use, Emacs20 is recommended.
1127 (If re-search's performance is the problem, 19.3x or later may be okay.)
1129 If many files are included in one archive,
1130 it takes long time to access to the archive folder because
1131 archiver starting overhead is increased (especially LHA).

1203 The initial setting is 8000.
1205 Max length of command line argument for external archiver program.
1206 Emacs does not have a limit of command line byte length, but some OS
1207 (e.x OS/2) have. It depends on the OS. Archive folder is affected by
1208 this limit because it calls external archiver program directly (not
1209 called via shell). For example, you cannot delete messages if archiver
1210 program must receive larger bytes of arguments to delete. OS/2 have a
1211 command line argument limit of 8190 bytes, so we defined default as 8000
1214 However, you don't have an influence of command line argument limit
1215 if the archiver has `actions' to receive target file information from
1216 standard input (@code{rm-pipe}, @code{mv-pipe}, @code{cat-headers} action).

1921 @cindex Folder, Subscribe
1922 @cindex Folder, Unsubscribe
1924 As described before, subscribed folder list is saved in @file{~/.folders} file.
1925 But you don't have to edit @file{~/.folders} directly.
1926 You can append, delete, edit folders from folder mode.
1928 @subsection Usage (Tips)
1930 @subsubsection Append Folder
1932 @kbd{m a} appends new folder to the folder mode.
1933 @kbd{m g} appends new folder group.
1934 To append new folder to this group, firstly open it,
1935 then execute append command in the next line.
1937 @subsubsection Edit Folder
1939 You can cut folder by @kbd{C-k}, paste by @kbd{C-y}.
1940 Thus, you can change folder position as if you were editing a normal file.
1942 @subsubsection Create Multi Folder.
1946 Type @kbd{m q} to clear @code{wl-fldmgr-cut-entity-list}.
1948 Cut folder by @kbd{C-k} or copy folder by @kbd{M-c}.
1950 Type @kbd{m m}, then you can create multi folder.
1953 @subsubsection Delete Nickname, Filter
1955 You can delete nickname or filter by putting ``''(@var{NULL}) from the
1956 minibuffer while appending.
1958 @subsubsection Append Folder to Empty Group
1960 To append new folder to the empty folder group
1961 (after you create folder group by typing @kbd{m g}),
1962 firstly open it, then execute append command in the next line.
1963 If it is closed, folder is appended on the same level with
1964 the above folder group. It is difficult to explain by words so try it.
1965 In other words, appended position depends on the
1966 above folder group's open/close status.
1968 @subsubsection Charset of the Folders File.
1970 @code{wl-mime-charset} is used for saving @code{wl-folders-file}.
1972 @subsubsection Create Filter
1974 @kbd{m f} adds filter to the folder at the current cursor point. To
1975 create new filter folder and leave the current folder unchanged, copy it
1976 @kbd{M-c}, make filter @kbd{m f} and paste it @kbd{C-y}. Multiple
1977 filter can be specified while appending filter. If you put
1978 ``''(@var{NULL}), filter is deleted.
1980 @subsubsection Sort Folders
1982 Sorting of the folders is executed by the function specified by
1983 @code{wl-fldmgr-sort-func}.
1984 The initial setting is @code{wl-fldmgr-sort-standard},
1985 which sorts alphabetically.
1986 Sorting affects only on the current folder group. It does not
1987 affect on the child groups.
1989 @subsubsection Hiding Folders in the Access Group
1991 Usually, access group displays all children folders, but you can set
1992 some folders hidden. Following operations are only available on access
1995 Command @code{wl-fldmgr-unsubscribe} (@kbd{u}) toggles the visibility
1996 (subscribe/unsubscribe) of the folder at current cursor point. Against
1997 this, @code{wl-fldmgr-unsubscribe-region} (@kbd{U}) hides folders in the
2000 Note that @code{wl-fldmgr-unsubscribe-region} does not toggle while
2001 @code{wl-fldmgr-unsubscribe} toggles. These two commands accept prefix
2002 argument and if the argument has positive number, the unsubscribe it.
2003 If the prefix argument has negative value, folder becomes visible and if
2004 zero, folder visibility is toggled.
2006 The other commands, @code{wl-fldmgr-subscribe} and
2007 @code{wl-fldmgr-subscribe-region} are also prepared (not binded to the
2010 Moreover, if @code{wl-fldmgr-cut} or @code{wl-fldmgr-cut-region} is
2011 executed in the access group, they have a same effect with
2012 @code{wl-fldmgr-unsubscribe} and @code{wl-fldmgr-unsubscribe-region}.
2013 The difference is that cut commands deletes folders from the current
2016 @subsubsection Operations in the Access Group
2018 You can insert and delete folders in the access group like usual folder
2019 group. But insert and delete commands can be only available for the
2020 children folders of the access group and they only sets the subscribe
2021 status. In other words, insertion of the folder means subscribing,
2022 deletion means unsubscribing.
2023 @footnote{In the current implementation,
2024 it is faster to delete region than to unsubscribe region.}
2026 To update the access group when children folders are inserted or deleted
2027 by other way (other than Wanderlust),
2028 open the access group by typing @kbd{C-u @key{RET}}.
2029 @xref{Selecting Folder}.
2031 The order of children folders of access group is saved after
2032 insertion/deletion/sorting.
2033 If you set @code{wl-force-fetch-folders} to non-nil or open access group
2034 by typing @kbd{C-u @key{RET}}, disappeared folders are deleted and
2035 newly created folders are inserted on the top of the access group.

2334 @var{Sender}'s indentation corresponds to the depth of the thread.
2335 Sender name is displayed as nickname if it is defined in the address
2336 book. Set @code{wl-use-petname} as @samp{nil}, if you want to quit
2337 displaying with nickname.
2339 If number is printed at the head of @var{Sender} part like @samp{+2},
2340 that means the message have 2 follow messages.
2342 @var{Subject} is the @samp{Subject:} header field of the message. If
2343 the message have same @samp{Subject:} with the parent message, it is not
2344 displayed. Some mailing list puts its sequence number in the
2345 @samp{Subject:} field, but it is
2346 ignored. @code{wl-summary-no-subject-message} is displayed when the
2347 message has empty subject field.
2349 @subsection Temporary Marks
2350 @cindex Mark, Temporary
2352 There are four temporary marks,
2353 @samp{*}, @samp{D}, @samp{o} and @samp{O}.
2354 Temporary marks indicates message operations.
2359 You can execute a command on the all messages that have @samp{*} mark,
2360 with the key bindings which begins with @kbd{m}.
2363 The mark to delete. You can put @samp{D} by typing @kbd{d} key.
2367 After you type @kbd{o} key, prompt appears to input refile destination.
2368 Your answer is printed in the summary line.
2372 You can put this mark by typing @kbd{O} key.
2373 The difference between this mark and refile mark is,
2374 this mark does not delete the message while latter does.
2377 @kbd{x} key executes @samp{D}, @samp{o} and @samp{O} marks.
2379 @subsection Persistent Marks
2381 There are five persistent marks,
2382 @samp{N}, @samp{U}, @samp{!}, @samp{u} and @samp{$}.
2384 The persistent mark indicates the message's status and it is saved.
2385 Each persistent mark indicates:
2391 It is unread message.
2393 It is unread but cached message.
2395 It is read but it is not cached.
2397 It is important message. You can put @samp{$} mark by typing @kbd{$}
2398 key (if already exists, the mark is deleted). It is convenient to put
2399 this mark on the messages to remember (If you want to remember to write
2400 a reply for the message, for example) because this mark remains after
2401 you exited Emacs. Messages with the @samp{$} mark remains in the folder
2402 even the message itself is deleted in the actual folder.
2405 If the message is read and cached (or local message),there are no
2409 @samp{N}, @samp{U} and @samp{u} indicates that the message have no
2410 cache. Messages with the marks other than these, you can read them in
2411 the offline status even they are in the IMAP folder or netnews folder.
2413 @subsection How To Read
2415 Basically, you can read messages only typing space key again and again.
2417 To update summary status to the newest status (synchronize),
2420 You can jump to next unread message by typing @kbd{N} key, and @kbd{n} key
2421 moves cursor to the next message.
2422 Enter message buffer by typing @kbd{j} key.
2423 To operate multipart, you have to enter to the message buffer.
2427 @node Thread Oparations, Cache, Usage of Summary Mode, Summary
2428 @section Thread Operations
2430 For example, the following line indicates one thread (a context of a topic).
2433 384 09/17(Thu)01:32 [+1: Teranishi ] wl-0.6.2
2437 If you type @kbd{/} on this line, the thread is opened and it changes
2438 the appearance like following.
2442 384 09/17(Thu)01:32 [ Teranishi ] wl-0.6.2
2443 388 09/17(Thu)22:34 +-[ Murata san ]
2447 (Message 388 is the replied message to the message 384.)
2448 If you type @kbd{/} key once again, the thread is closed.
2449 With prefix argument, @kbd{/} opens all children threads.
2451 Commands with the key binding that begins with @kbd{t} executes commands
2452 on the messages in the thread.
2455 @node Cache, Auto Refile, Thread Oparations, Summary
2458 @subsection Cache File
2460 The messages which have to access via network (e.x. IMAP, NNTP folder)
2461 are cached as a local file. The cache file is saved under the directory
2462 @file{~/.elmo/cache}. To expire cache, type @kbd{M-x
2463 elmo-cache-expire-by-size}. The command deletes cache files to the
2464 specified size by the order of last accessed time.
2466 @subsection Buffer Cache and Prefetching
2468 If the value of @code{elmo-use-buffer-cache} is non-nil, the messages
2469 that are read are kept in the cache buffer. It is called `buffer
2470 cache'. The number of cache buffer is specified by
2471 @code{elmo-buffer-cache-size}.
2473 There are message prefetching mechanism in the Wanderlust that
2474 prefetches next message while you are reading. This function requires
2475 that the value of @code{elmo-use-buffer-cache} is non-nil.
2477 You can control the message prefetching mechanism by these two
2481 @item wl-cache-prefetch-folder-type-list
2482 @vindex wl-cache-prefetch-folder-type-list
2483 The initial setting is the list shown below:
2491 It specifies the folder types in which message prefetching is enabled.
2492 In the initial setting, multi folder that contains localdir and imap4
2493 prefetches only imap4 messages. This variable precedes the value of
2494 @code{wl-cache-prefetch-folder-list}.
2496 If you want to prefetch localdir and localnews also, following setting
2501 (setq wl-cache-prefetch-folder-type-list
2502 '(nntp imap4 localdir localnews))
2506 @item wl-cache-prefetch-folder-list
2507 @vindex wl-cache-prefetch-folder-list
2508 The initial setting is @code{nil}.
2509 A list of regexp of folders to enable message prefetching.
2513 @node Auto Refile, Sticky Summary, Cache, Summary
2514 @section Auto Refile
2515 @vindex elmo-msgdb-extra-fields
2516 @vindex wl-refile-rule-alist
2517 @findex wl-summary-auto-refile
2519 You can refile messages automatically, by typing @kbd{C-o}
2520 (@code{wl-summary-auto-refile}). It decides destination of refile by
2521 the content of the message header information (information in the msgdb).
2523 By default, @samp{From:}, @samp{Subject:}, @samp{To:} and @samp{Cc:} is
2524 available. If you want to decide destination by other header fields,
2525 set the variable @code{elmo-msgdb-extra-fields} like following.
2529 (setq elmo-msgdb-extra-fields
2539 By this setting, Wanderlust saves extra fields in the msgdb. You have
2540 to type @kbd{s all} to get extra fields for the messages that are
2541 already exists in the summary.
2543 Then, specify the refile rule. The refile target folder of auto
2544 refiling is decided by the value of @code{wl-refile-rule-alist}.
2545 @code{wl-refile-rule-alist} is a list of a rule:
2549 (@var{field} (@var{regexp} . @var{target})
2550 (@var{regexp} . @var{target})
2555 Each rule means `if @var{field} value matches @var{regexp},
2556 then refile to @var{target} folder'.
2557 The rule matched first is applied.
2559 @var{field} is a string of field name. You can specify a list of field name
2560 string, too. In this case, if one of these fields is matched, then the
2561 rule is fired (i.e. OR condition).
2563 @var{regexp} is a regular expression for field value. @var{target} is a target
2564 folder string. You can specify a rule at @var{target} part, too. In this
2565 case, If the field value of the rule and the current rule is matched,
2566 then the current rule is fired (i.e. AND condition).
2568 In @var{target} part, you can refer matched substring of @var{regexp}.
2569 To refer substring, specify following in @var{target}:
2573 means substitute original matched text.
2576 means substitute what matched the @var{N}th `\(@dots{}\)'.
2577 (@var{N} is a number.)
2580 Following is an example of @code{wl-refile-rule-alist}.
2584 (setq wl-refile-rule-alist
2586 ("^Wanderlust" . "+wl")
2587 ("^Elisp" . "+elisp"))
2589 ("\\([a-z]+\\)@@gohome.org" . "+\\1"))
2591 ("me@@gohome.org" . ("To" ("you@@gohome.org" .
2592 "+from-me-to-you"))))))
2596 After these settings, refile marks are automatically put on the condition
2597 matched messages by typing @kbd{C-o} (@code{wl-summary-auto-refile}).
2599 Messages which have @code{wl-summary-auto-refile-skip-marks} is skipped
2601 By default, @samp{N}, @samp{U} and @samp{!} is specified, so the messages
2602 with these persistent marks are not automatically refiled.
2603 It means Wanderlust does not execute auto refile on unread messages by
2604 the default setting.
2605 To execute auto refile on all messages, set following.
2608 (setq wl-summary-auto-refile-skip-marks nil)
2612 @node Sticky Summary, Key Bindings of Summary, Auto Refile, Summary
2613 @section Sticky Summary
2614 @cindex Summary, Sticky
2615 @cindex Sticky Summary
2617 The buffer of the `sticky summary' does not killed by typing @kbd{q}.
2619 Sticky buffer is created by entering the summary by typing @kbd{C-u g}
2620 or type @kbd{M-s} (@code{wl-summary-stick}) on the normal summary.
2622 The buffer name of the sticky summary becomes like
2623 @samp{Summary:@var{folder-name}}.
2625 You can visit the sticky summary at any time by @kbd{C-x b}
2626 (@code{switch-to-buffer}). To exit sticky summary, type @kbd{C-u
2627 q}. Other operations in the sticky summary are same as normal summary.

3662 @c @cindex Message, Change Dynamic
3664 You can set @code{wl-draft-config-alist} so that header and body of the
3665 message will automatically modified depending on information of header
3668 The initial setting of @code{wl-draft-config-alist} is @code{nil}.
3670 In the example below, the header is modified when
3671 @code{wl-draft-send-and-exit} or @code{wl-draft-send} is invoked. You
3672 can set @code{wl-interactive-send} to non-nil so as to confirm changes
3673 before sending the message.
3677 (setq wl-draft-config-alist
3678 '(((string-match "aaa.ne.jp$" (system-name))
3679 ;; @r{applied if the expression is non-nil}

3687 ;; @r{you can write elisp expressions here (eval only)}
3688 (top . "Hello.\n") ;; @r{inserted at the top of the body}
3689 (bottom . "\nBye.\n") ;; @r{inserted at the bottom of the body}
3694 The format of @code{wl-draft-config-alist} is:
3698 '(("@var{regexp of the header}" or @var{elisp expression}
3699 ("@var{Field}" . value(@var{elisp expression}))
3700 (@var{variable} . value(@var{elisp expression}))
3701 (@var{sub-function} . value(@var{elisp expression}))
3704 ("@var{regexp of the header}" or @var{elisp expression}
3705 ("@var{Field}" . value(@var{elisp expression}))
3710 Per default, there are 10 following sub-functions.
3713 'header: Inserts the specified string at the bottom of the header.
3714 'header-file: Inserts the specified file at the bottom of the header.
3715 'x-face: Inserts @samp{X-Face:} field with the content of the specified file.
3716 'top: Inserts the specified string at the top of the body.
3717 'top-file: Inserts the specified file at the top of the body.
3718 'body: Replaces the body with the specified string.
3719 Specifying @code{nil} deletes the entire body string.
3720 'body-file: Replaces the body with the content of the specified file.
3721 'bottom: Inserts the specified string at the bottom of the body.
3722 'bottom-file: Inserts the specified file at the top of the body.
3723 'template: Applies the specified template.
3724 (refer to the next subsection)
3727 These are defined in @code{wl-draft-config-sub-func-alist} and you can
3728 change them or add your own functions. If you read the code, you can
3729 easily find how to write the functions.
3731 At the first of each item, @var{a regular expression of the header} or
3732 an @var{elisp expression} should be specified. In the case of an elisp
3733 expression, the item is applied when the expression is evaluated
3736 Per default, when multiple items match or are evaluated non-nil, all
3737 such items are applied, but if you set a variable
3738 @code{wl-draft-config-matchone} to @code{t}, only the first matching one
3741 At the second of the item, a cons or a list of functions should be
3742 specified. The car part of the cons should be a header field, a
3743 variable, or a sub-function. When a header field is specified, the
3744 field will be modified. If a variable is specified, the value of the
3745 variable will be modified temporarily.
3747 In the cdr part of a cons, not only a variable but also an elisp
3748 expression can be specified as is. If the car part is a header field
3749 and the cdr part is @code{nil}, the field will be deleted.
3751 See the next example as well:
3755 (setq wl-draft-config-alist
3757 "X-ML-Name: \\(Wanderlust\\|emacs-mime-ja\\|apel-ja\\)"
3758 ;; @r{applied if it matches the header of the buffer being replied}
3759 (body . " Hello.\n")
3760 (template . "default")
3765 As in the (1) above, if a header regexp is prepended with @code{reply},
3766 it is applied when the draft is prepared by @code{wl-summary-reply} for
3767 example, and when it matches the header being replied. It is ignored
3768 when there is no buffer being replied, like after @code{wl-draft} was
3771 Note that @code{wl-draft-config-alist} is applied only once when
3772 @code{wl-draft-send-and-exit} or @code{wl-draft-send} is invoked.
3773 Therefore, if you want to apply @code{wl-draft-config-alist} again after
3774 aborting transmission, execute @kbd{C-c C-e}
3775 (@code{wl-draft-config-exec}).
3777 If you want to apply @code{wl-draft-config-alist} when a draft buffer is
3778 prepared, do the following:
3781 (add-hook 'wl-mail-setup-hook 'wl-draft-config-exec)
3784 @subsection Inserting Templates
3786 @cindex Apply Template
3788 Set a variable @code{wl-template-alist}, and type @kbd{C-c C-j} or
3789 @kbd{M-x wl-template-select} in the draft buffer.
3791 The format of @code{wl-template-alist} is almost the same as
3792 @code{wl-draft-config-alist}.
3796 (setq wl-template-alist
3799 ("Organization" . "~/.wl sample")
3800 (body . "Hello.\n"))
3802 (template . "default") ;; @r{(a)}
3803 ("To" . "jousi@@kaisha.jp")
3804 ("Subject" . "Report")
3805 (body-file . "~/work/report.txt")
3811 As you can see, the only difference is item (template) names such as
3812 @samp{default} and @samp{report}, instead of a regexp of header.
3813 Because definition of each item is the same as
3814 @code{wl-draft-config-alist}, you can call another template, like (a).
3816 Executing the command @code{wl-template-select} results in template
3817 selection, but the result differs depending on variable
3818 @code{wl-template-visible-select}.
3820 If @code{wl-template-visible-select} is @code{t} (default), a buffer
3821 window is shown below the draft buffer. You can select a template by
3822 @kbd{n} and @kbd{p} seeing the buffer window.
3824 Press the @key{RET} key and the template is actually applied to the draft
3825 buffer. If you press @kbd{q}, nothing is applied. In addition, you can
3826 adjust the window size by @code{wl-template-buffer-lines}.
3828 If @code{wl-template-visible-select} is @code{nil}, you should type the
3829 name of the template in the mini buffer.
3831 As shown in the example in @code{wl-draft-config-alist}, you can select
3832 @samp{default} template by writing:
3835 (template . "default")

3868 If non-nil, POP connection is established using SSL. If
3869 @code{starttls}, STARTTLS (RFC2595) connection will be established. If
3870 unset, @code{elmo-default-pop3-ssl} is used.
3873 If variables for POP-before-SMTP (@code{wl-pop-before-smtp-*}) are
3874 unset, settings for POP folders (@code{elmo-default-pop3-*}) are
3876 Therefore, if SMTP server and POP server are actually the same, and if
3877 POP folder per default (such as @samp{&}) is available, no settings are

4379 accumulated in the queue folder, @samp{+queue}. These messages are
4380 transmitted at once when Wanderlust becomes on-line.
4382 You can visit @samp{+queue} in the off-line state and confirm content of
4383 messages in the queue. You can also remove messages. Removed messages
4384 are not transmitted even in the on-line state.

4390 Re-file and copy operations to IMAP folders invoked during the off-line

4431 Because off-line operations use cache files, it is a bad idea to erase
4432 them by hand; it may cause Wanderlust to malfunction.
4434 If you want to remove caches, be sure to execute @kbd{M-x

4631 @cindex Expire Message
4633 Expiration means deletion of old messages which have outlasted a
4634 certain period of time.
4636 @code{wl-expire} supports not only simple deletion, but also moving to
4637 specified archiving folders.
4641 Configure @code{wl-expire-alist} and press @kbd{e} in the folder mode,
4642 or @kbd{M-e} in the summary mode.
4644 @subsection Configuring @code{wl-expire-alist}
4646 An example configuration of @code{wl-expire-alist} is shown below.
4647 Everything in this @code{wl-expire-alist} makes a great difference in
4648 expiration, so be careful. I advise you to set @code{wl-expire-use-log}
4649 to @code{t}, especially in the initial stage.

4672 Items in the list has the format of:
4675 (@var{regexp-for-folders} @var{specification-of-messages-to-be-deleted} @var{destination})
4679 The folder is examined if it matches @var{regexp-for-folders} from the
4680 beginning of the list. If you invoke expiration on the folder that does
4681 not match any of them, nothing will happen. And if either the second or
4682 the third element of the item is @code{nil}, expiration will not take
4685 You can use any one of the following for
4686 @var{specification-of-message-to-be-deleted}:
4689 @item (number @var{n1} [@var{n2}])
4690 deletes messages depending on the number of messages in the folder.
4692 @var{n1} is the number of messages which should survive deletion, for example
4693 if its value is 500, the newest 500 messages survive and the rests are
4696 @var{n2} is the number of messages in the folder on which expiration should
4697 take place, which defaults to @var{n1} + 1. For example if its value is 510,
4698 folders with 510 or more messages are expired.
4699 If you configured automatic expiration, frequently used folders may
4700 expire every time it receive messages, and you may be annoyed with the
4701 long delay in reading mail.
4702 In that case, you can set a wide margin between @var{n2} and @var{n1}, so that
4703 expiration would not take place until a certain number of messages
4706 Messages with marks in @code{wl-summary-expire-reserve-marks} (marked
4707 with important/new/unread) are not deleted.
4708 If @code{wl-expire-number-with-reserve-marks} is non-nil, the folder
4709 will expire so as to have 500 messages including such ones.
4710 Otherwise, it will have 500 messages except such ones.
4712 @item (date @var{d1})
4713 deletes messages depending on the dates.
4715 Messages dated @var{d1} or more days ago are deleted, for example if its
4716 value is seven, messages seven days old or more are deleted. Note that
4717 the date is the one in the @samp{Date:} field of the message, not when
4718 the message entered the folder.
4720 Messages with no or invalid @samp{Date:} field does not expire; you
4721 might have to delete them by hand.
4724 You can use any one of the following in the place of @var{destination}:
4728 deletes the messages instantly.
4731 moves the messages to @code{wl-trash-folder}.
4733 @item @var{string}(folder)
4734 moves the messages to the folder specified with @var{string}.
4736 It would be useful for specifying an archiving folder, but because this
4737 does not move important messages, it might be better to use the
4738 standard functions described below.
4740 @item @var{function}
4741 invokes the specified @var{function}.
4743 To the @var{function}, three arguments are passed: a folder name, a list
4744 of messages to be deleted, and msgdb information of the summary. You
4745 can specify function-specific arguments after the name of the
4746 @var{function}. Note that the list contains messages with marks in
4747 @code{wl-summary-expire-reserve-marks}, be careful in writing your own
4750 These are three standard functions; they moves messages to an archive
4751 folder in the specified way. This means old messages can be compressed
4752 and saved in a file, being deleted from the original folder.
4755 @item wl-expire-archive-number1
4756 re-files to archiving folders corresponding to the message numbers of
4757 the messages being deleted. For example, a message numbered 102 will be
4758 re-filed to @file{wl-00100.zip}, 390 to @file{wl-00300.zip}, and so on.
4759 If @code{wl-expire-archive-files} is 200, messages will be re-filed to
4760 @file{wl-00000.zip}, @file{wl-00200.zip}, @file{wl-00400.zip}, @dots{}.
4762 The archiving folders to which messages are re-filed are determined by
4763 the name of the folder as follows (in this case, archiving folders are
4764 handled as if @code{elmo-archive-treat-file} were non-nil).
4767 @item If the folder type is localdir:
4768 @file{@var{ArchiveDir}/@var{foldername}-xxxxx.zip}
4770 For example, @samp{+ml/wl} corresponds to @samp{$ml/wl;zip}
4771 (@file{~/Mail/ml/wl-00100.zip}).
4773 @item The folder type is other than localdir:
4774 @file{@var{ArchiveDir}/@var{foldertype}/@var{foldername}-xxxxx.zip}
4776 For example, @samp{%#mh/ml/wl} corresponds to
4777 @samp{$imap4/#mh/ml/wl;zip} (@file{~/Mail/imap4/#mh/ml/wl-00100.zip}).
4780 As you can see, in the case of localdir, the folder type is not included
4781 in the path name, but otherwise it is included.
4782 And you can control the prefix to the archiving folder name by
4783 @code{wl-expire-archive-folder-prefix}.
4784 Refer to @code{wl-expire-archive-folder-prefix} for details.
4786 @item wl-expire-archive-number2
4787 re-files every certain number of messages to archiving folders.
4789 This differs from @samp{wl-expire-archive-number1} in that this re-files
4790 to the folder up to the specified number regardless of message numbers.
4791 The archiving folders to which messages are re-filed are determined in the
4792 same way as @code{wl-expire-archive-number1}.
4794 @item wl-expire-archive-date
4795 re-files messages depending on its date (year and month) to archive
4798 For example, a message dated December 1998 is re-filed to
4799 @code{$folder-199812;zip}. The name of the archiving folders except the
4800 date part are determined in the same way as
4801 @code{wl-expire-archive-number1}.
4804 You can set the first argument to these three standard functions to non-nil
4805 in @code{wl-expire-alist} so as to retain message numbers in the folder.
4806 For example, it can be specified just after the name of the function:
4809 ("^\\+ml/wl$" (number 300 310) wl-expire-archive-number1 t)
4812 If you omit the argument, consecutive numbers from 1 are assigned for
4813 each archiving folder.
4816 @subsection Treatment for Important or Unread Messages
4818 If you specify any of @code{remove}, @code{trash}, a folder name, or a
4819 standard function, messages with marks in
4820 @code{wl-summary-expire-reserve-marks} (which are called @dfn{reserved
4821 messages} thereafter) are retained.
4823 Per default, this variable include the important, new, and unread marks,
4824 so that messages with these marks are not removed.
4825 Note that you cannot include the temporary mark (i.e. temporary marks
4826 are removed anyway), and be sure to process temporary marks before you
4829 @subsection Auto Expiration
4831 The following setup invokes expiration when you move into the summary
4832 mode. There will be no confirmation, so make sure you made no mistake
4833 in regexp and other settings before you set up this.
4837 (add-hook 'wl-summary-prepared-pre-hook 'wl-summary-expire)
4841 In the folder mode, you can invoke expiration per group as well as per
4842 folder. Therefore, if you specify @samp{Desktop} group, all folders
4843 matching @code{wl-expire-alist} expire.
4847 @subsection Treating archive folders.
4848 To treat archive folders created by @code{wl-expire-archive-number1} and so on,
4849 you must set non-nil value to @code{elmo-archive-treat-file}.
4851 @subsection Confirming
4853 If you are to use @code{remove}, try @code{trash} at first and see
4854 messages move to @code{wl-trash-folder} as expected, then replace it
4855 with @code{remove}. It would be dangerous to use @code{remove} from the
4858 If you are to use @code{wl-expire-archive-number1} and the like, try to
4859 make a folder of the archiver type (@code{zip} or @code{lha}) and see if
4860 you can append messages to it. Even if settings in
4861 @code{wl-expire-alist} and @code{elmo-archive} are correct, messages
4862 would not be saved anywhere and disappeared in case the archiver program
4865 After you make sure you can archive to the folder correctly, you can
4866 invoke expiration and utilize the log.
4868 If you set @code{wl-expire-use-log} to @code{t},
4869 @file{~/.elmo/expired-log} should contain the log, for example:
4873 delete +ml/wl (593 594 595 596 597 598 599)
4874 move +ml/wl -> $ml/wl-00600;tgz;wl (600 601 602)
4878 The first column indicates the operation, i.e. @samp{delete},
4879 @samp{copy}, or @samp{move}. The next is the name of the folder that
4880 expired. In the case of @samp{copy} and @samp{move}, the destination
4881 folder is recorded after @samp{->}. The last is the list of message
4882 numbers that are actually deleted or moved (in the case of @samp{copy}
4883 and @samp{move}, the number is the one in the source folder, rather than
4884 the destination folder).
4886 @subsection Re-filing Reserved Messages
4888 The three standard functions copy reserved messages to the archive
4889 folder, but do not delete them from the source folder. Because
4890 reserved messages and the like always remain, they are recorded in
4891 @file{~/.elmo/expired-alist} so that they are not copied over and over
4892 again. They are not recorded if copied by @code{wl-summary-archive}.
4894 If you enabled logging, usually @samp{move} is recorded for re-filing,
4895 but instead @samp{copy} and @samp{delete} are recorded separately if
4896 reserved messages are involved. This is because it actually copies
4897 messages including reserved, then deletes ones except reserved in that

5006 In the worst case, there is a fear of destructing archiving folders.
5010 There will be no prefix.
5013 For example, @samp{+ml/wl} will be prefixed by @samp{wl}, resulting in
5014 @samp{$ml/wl-00000;zip;wl}.

5024 @vindex wl-expire-archive-folder-num-regexp
5025 The initial setting is @samp{-\\([-0-9]+\\);}.
5026 This variable specifies the regular expression to be used for getting

5040 The initial setting is @code{t}.
5041 If non-nil, messages older than the one with the largest number will be
5042 deleted with confirmation.
5043 If @code{nil}, they are deleted without confirmation.
5045 This feature is valid only if non-nil is specified as a argument to the
5046 standard functions so as to retain numbers.

5057 The initial setting is @code{t}.
5059 If non-nil, when messages are re-filed by expiration, read/unread
5060 information is passed to the destination folder.
5062 However if you do not read the destination folder from Wanderlust,
5063 @file{seen} under @file{~/.elmo/} grows larger and larger, so you might
5064 want to set this to @code{nil} if you are simply saving to some

5115 As inferred from their names, they work similarly to "expire" versions,
5116 other than the following points:
5119 @item No messages are deleted
5120 @item Message numbers are retained even if invoked without arguments
5123 These functions are good to archive all messages in a folder by their
5124 numbers or by their dates.
5125 These are also useful for backup or confirmation purposes before
5127 If you try to re-file them after they are archived, they are deleted but
5130 Per default, the archiving folders to which messages are copied are
5131 determined automatically by @code{wl-expire-archive-get-folder-func}.
5132 You can copy to a specific folder by invoking with a prefix argument,
5133 i.e. @kbd{C-u M-x wl-summary-archive}.

5166 This variable specifies a function that copies to archiving folders.
5167 To the function, three arguments are passed: a folder name, a list of
5168 messages in the folder, and msgdb information of the summary.
5169 Needless to say, you can use your own function.

5178 Scoring is the function that associates a score (value) with each
5179 message, and marks as read or deletes from the summary according to it.
5181 You can put target or important marks on essential messages, or read marks
5182 on the ones you do not want to read, for example spam articles.
5184 This scoring function has a capability and a format similar to the one
5185 that Gnus has, although there are some unsupported features and

5197 @cindex Score Commands
5199 @subsection Score File Specification
5201 @code{wl-score-folder-alist} specifies score files or variables in which
5202 scores are defined, corresponding to folder names.
5206 (setq wl-score-folder-alist
5215 If paths to the score files are omitted, the directory specified in the
5216 variable @code{wl-score-files-dir} is assumed.
5218 No matter what you write in @code{wl-score-folder-alist}, the default
5219 score file @code{wl-score-default-file} (@file{all.SCORE}) is always
5220 read (it does not have to exist).
5221 Therefore, in the example above, the three score files,
5222 @file{news.SCORE}, @file{my.SCORE}, and @file{all.SCORE} are read for
5223 the folders that matches @samp{^-.*}.
5225 @subsection Scored Messages
5227 Scores are attached to the messages that are specified by
5228 @code{wl-summary-score-marks} temporarily when the summary is updated;
5229 when you exit from the summary, the scores are removed and reverts to
5232 @subsection Creation of Score Files
5234 In the summary buffer, move to an appropriate message and type @kbd{L}.
5235 Then type @kbd{s}, @kbd{s}, and @kbd{p} at a prompt in a mini-buffer.
5236 The string in Subject is presented. Edit it and press @kbd{@key{RET}}.
5238 This makes @minus{}1000 are scored for messages with the same
5239 @samp{Subject:} as the string you entered. That is, such a score file
5240 is created automatically.
5242 Then, try typing @kbd{h} and @kbd{e} in the same summary buffer.
5243 The score file you just made appears.
5244 This buffer is called @dfn{score editing buffer} thereafter.
5245 When you type @kbd{C-c C-e} in it, you are prompted in the mini-buffer
5246 as you are previously; type @kbd{a}. Then a score entry for "From"
5248 In this way, you can create a score file easily either in the summary
5249 buffer or in the score editing buffer.
5251 By the way, you might be aware the numbers of key strokes are different
5252 between @kbd{s s p} and @kbd{a}.
5253 This is determined by @code{wl-score-header-default-entry}.
5254 This variable specifies the default score entries corresponding to
5256 For example, for "subject" field, a type and a time limit are prompted,
5257 but for "from" field, they are fixed upon automatically as substring and
5258 permanent respectively.
5259 However, score values can be modified by the prefix argument.
5260 Typing @kbd{?} at the mini-buffer shows a help on keys and corresponding
5263 At last, type @kbd{C-c C-c} in the score editing buffer. This saves the
5264 score file and terminates the edit mode. Typing @kbd{C-c C-c} after
5265 erasing contents of the buffer deletes the score file being edited.
5269 @subsubsection Selecting Score Files
5271 You can change score files to which scores are appended by
5272 @code{wl-summary-increase-score} and @code{wl-summary-lower-score} by
5273 @code{wl-score-change-score-file}.
5275 @subsubsection Summing Up the Score
5277 If you add the same entries by @code{wl-summary-increase-score},
5278 @code{wl-summary-lower-score}, and @code{wl-score-edit-insert-entry},
5279 scores for the entry is summed up.
5281 For example, if you create @samp{from} entry with the score of @minus{}1000 by
5282 @kbd{L a} and again @samp{from} with @minus{}200, one entry with the score of
5283 @minus{}1200 will be created as a result.
5285 @subsubsection Creating Thread Key
5287 Creating @samp{Thread} key by @code{wl-summary-increase-score} or
5288 @code{wl-summary-lower-score} appends @samp{Message-ID} of all children.
5290 @subsubsection Creating Followup Key
5292 Creating @samp{Followup} key by @code{wl-summary-increase-score} or
5293 @code{wl-summary-lower-score} appends @samp{Message-ID} of the message
5294 at the cursor to @samp{References} key.
5295 If @code{wl-score-auto-make-followup-entry} is non-nil,

6333 You may want to set this variable so as to match conditional filter
6334 folders for IMAP4 folders.
6335 The initial setting is @code{nil}.
6337 @item wl-folder-use-server-diff
6338 @vindex wl-folder-use-server-diff

6341 (the number of local messages) will be the number of unread messages.
6342 However, if this variable is non-nil, the number of unread messages on
6343 the server is checked. This affects IMAP4 folders only, but IMAP4
6344 folders in mail boxes matching
6345 @code{elmo-imap4-disuse-server-flag-mailbox-regexp} are not checked for
6346 the number of unread messages on the server, even if they matches this

6616 According to a dictionary, Wanderlust has the meaning:
6620 n eager longing for or impulse towards travelling in distant lands
6621 [Ger, fr wandern to wander + lust desire, pleasure]
6625 but I had no profound intention. (if farfetched, IMAP @result{} you can
6626 read mail anywhere @result{} desire to wander ?)
6628 Elmo is the abbreviation of @samp{Elisp Library for Message
6629 Orchestration}. At first I meant the red puppet in the Sesame Street,
6630 but you may associate it with Wandering @result{} Drifting @result{}
6631 Guidepost @result{} St.@: Elmo's fire @result{} elmo.
6635 Each versions has code names (they are almost jokes).
6636 Currently they are picked up alphabetically from the top 40 hits of
6637 U.S. Billboard magazines in 1980s.
