202 The necessary procedure for starting Wanderlust is explained in steps
205 (Of course, you need a mail/news readable environment in advance)
208 * MIME Modules:: Installing the MIME modules
209 * Download:: Download and extract the packages
210 * Install:: Byte-compile and install
211 * Minimal Settings:: @file{.emacs} setup
212 * Folder Definition:: Folder definition

218 @node MIME Modules, Download, Start Me Up, Start Me Up
219 @section Installing MIME modules
225 You must install SEMI beforehand to use Wanderlust.
227 SEMI can be downloaded from following site:
231 SEMI: ftp://ftp.m17n.org/pub/mule/semi/
235 You need packages named APEL and FLIM to use SEMI.
236 You can download APEL and FLIM from following URLs:
240 APEL: ftp://ftp.m17n.org/pub/mule/apel/
241 FLIM: ftp://ftp.m17n.org/pub/mule/flim/
245 You have to install APEL, FLIM and SEMI in this order. Generally,
246 @samp{make install} will do the job. (In XEmacs 21, @samp{make
249 Refer to the documents of each package for detailed installation
250 procedure @footnote{If you want to use SEMI on Emacs 19.34. @*
251 @uref{http://www.jpl.org/elips/INSTALL-SEMI-ja.html} (In Japanese)
255 Recommended combination of APEL, FLIM and SEMI are following:
258 @item APEL 10.4, FLIM 1.14.4 and SEMI 1.14.4
261 You can also use many other FLIM/SEMI variants. Combination of the
262 latest versions should work. For example, the following combination are
266 @item APEL 10.4, SLIM 1.14.9, SEMI 1.14.4
267 @item APEL 10.4, CLIME 1.14.5, EMIKO 1.14.1
270 You have to re-install Wanderlust if you upgraded APEL, FLIM or SEMI.
273 @node Download, Install, MIME Modules, Start Me Up
274 @section Download and Extract the Package
277 You can download Wanderlust package from following sites:
281 ftp://ftp.gohome.org/wl/
284 Mirrored ftp/http sites:
288 ftp://ftp.jaist.ac.jp/pub/GNU/elisp/ftp.gohome.org/wl/
289 http://www.jpl.org/elips/wl/
290 http://www.ring.gr.jp/archives/text/elisp/wl/
291 ftp://ftp.ring.gr.jp/pub/text/elisp/wl/
292 ftp://opaopa.org/pub/mirror/elisp/wl/
293 @c ftp://roguelife.org/pub/tsumura/wl/
297 Extract the obtained package to your working directory:
302 % tar zxvf wl-@var{version}.tar.gz
303 % cd wl-@var{version}
307 @subsection To use SSL (Secure Socket Layer)
312 SSL (Secure Socket Layer) can be used for
313 SMTP, IMAP, NNTP and POP connections in Wanderlust.
315 There are two ways to use SSL. One is to start SSL negotiation just
316 after the connection establishment (generic way). The other one is to
317 start SSL negotiation by invoking STARTTLS command in the each session.
319 To use the formal SSL (generic SSL), you must set @env{PATH} to the
320 directory that OpenSSL commands are installed.
322 To use the latter SSL(STARTTLS), you must install starttls package in
324 You can download starttls package from the following site.
327 ftp://opaopa.org/pub/elisp/
330 @node Install, Minimal Settings, Download, Start Me Up
331 @section Byte-compile and install
338 @subsection Installation
340 Edit @code{LISPDIR} and @code{EMACS} in @file{Makefile}.
341 Set the Emacs's command name to @code{EMACS}.
342 Set package installation directory to @code{LISPDIR}.
343 Then, please execute following commands.
352 Destination directory is auto-probed if you leave @code{LISPDIR}
353 in @file{Makefile} as is. (That is, leave it as @samp{NONE})
355 If you are using an Emacs variant which does not merge specified directory
356 to @code{load-path} (e.g. Mule 2.3 based on Emacs 19.28),
357 then you will see the error message:
360 Cannot open load file: mime-setup
364 In this case, either add destination directories of custom, APEL, FLIM
365 and SEMI to environmental variable @env{EMACSLOADPATH}, or define
366 @code{load-path} in @file{WL-CFG} in extracted directory.
368 If you want to handle shimbun folders or to use BBDB, add directory
369 where emacs-w3m or BBDB is installed to @code{load-path}. Then necessary
370 modules will be byte-compiled and installed.
371 @xref{Shimbun Folder}, @xref{BBDB}.
373 @subsection @file{WL-CFG}
375 Contents of the file @file{WL-CFG} is loaded under installation if a file
376 with that name exists in extracted directory. You can use @file{WL-CFG} to
377 configure @code{load-path} to extra packages such as SEMI if needed.
379 If you want to specify the install directory of Wanderlust related
380 files, then set following variables in @file{WL-CFG}
384 A directory to install WL modules.
385 This directory is relative directory from @code{LISPDIR}.
386 WL modules include @file{wl*.el}, @file{wl*.elc} files.
387 @c Modules under the directory @file{util/} are also installed if
388 @c it detected as necessary.
391 A directory to install ELMO modules.
392 This directory is relative directory from @code{LISPDIR}.
393 ELMO modules include @file{elmo*.el}, @file{elmo*.elc} files.
394 @c @file{utf7.el}, @file{utf7.elc} are also included in the ELMO.
398 Default value of @code{WL_PREFIX} and @code{ELMO_PREFIX} are @file{wl}.
400 If you want to install ELMO related files under a sub-directory
401 such as "elmo" then add following to @file{WL-CFG}:
404 (setq ELMO_PREFIX "elmo")
407 @subsection Install as a XEmacs package
408 @cindex XEmacs package
409 @cindex XEmacs package install
410 @cindex Package, XEmacs
411 @cindex Package install, XEmacs
412 @c @cindex install-package
414 It is possible to install Wanderlust as one of packages of XEmacs (21.0
415 or later). Configuration for autoload and icon-path in local
416 @file{~/.emacs} files are no longer necessary, if you install Wanderlust
419 Follow the next example to install Wanderlust as an XEmacs package.
425 % make install-package
429 package directory is auto-probed, if SEMI is installed.
430 (you can also specify it with @code{PACKAGEDIR} in @file{Makefile})
432 @subsection Run in place
434 If wl and elmo directories are defined in @code{load-path}, then
435 byte-compilation and installation are not necessary to start Wanderlust.
436 For example, if package is extracted in @file{~/work}, Wanderlust can be
437 invoked with following setting in @file{~/.emacs}.
441 (add-to-list 'load-path "~/work/wl-@var{version}/wl")
442 (add-to-list 'load-path "~/work/wl-@var{version}/elmo")
448 Manual is described in Info format. Please do following.
457 If you install Wanderlust as a XEmacs package, Info file is already
458 installed too, so there are no need of these commands.
460 Manual directory is automatically detected. Of course, it can be
461 configured by @code{INFODIR} in @file{Makefile}.
463 You can read manual at the following URL:
466 http://www.gohome.org/wl/doc/wl_toc.html
469 @node Minimal Settings, Folder Definition, Install, Start Me Up
470 @section Set up .emacs
471 @cindex Minimal Settings
473 @cindex Configuration
477 The Wanderlust package contains two module groups.
480 @item ELMO (elmo-*.el)
481 These modules show everything as folders. This is the back-end for WL.
483 These modules controls the behavior of main body of Wanderlust.
484 They are also the front-end for ELMO.
487 You can customize the behavior of Wanderlust by changing the value
488 of environmental variables which begins with @code{elmo-} and @code{wl-}.
490 The minimal requirement for settings is as the following.
494 ;; @r{autoload configuration}
495 ;; @r{(Not required if you have installed Wanderlust as XEmacs package)}
496 (autoload 'wl "wl" "Wanderlust" t)
497 (autoload 'wl-other-frame "wl" "Wanderlust on new frame." t)
498 (autoload 'wl-draft "wl-draft" "Write draft with Wanderlust." t)
500 ;; @r{Directory where icons are placed.}
501 ;; @r{Default: the peculiar value to the running version of Emacs.}
502 ;; @r{(Not required if the default value points properly)}
503 (setq wl-icon-directory "~/work/wl/etc")
505 ;; @r{SMTP server for mail posting. Default: @code{nil}}
506 (setq wl-smtp-posting-server "your.smtp.example.com")
507 ;; @r{NNTP server for news posting. Default: @code{nil}}
508 (setq wl-nntp-posting-server "your.nntp.example.com")
512 @file{~/.wl} is automatically loaded when Wanderlust starts up (if such a
513 file exists). So it is convenient to gather Wanderlust specific settings
514 in @file{~/.wl}. Settings for "face" must be written in @file{~/.wl},
515 because you can't write them in @file{.emacs}
516 (if you write it to @file{.emacs}, you'll get an error).
519 All above described settings except autoload configuration can be written
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 your @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, 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))
541 (if (fboundp 'define-mail-user-agent)
542 (define-mail-user-agent

553 @node Folder Definition, Start Wanderlust, Minimal Settings, Start Me Up
554 @section Folder Definition
555 @cindex Folder Definition
558 You can skip this section because it is possible to add/edit the
559 subscribe folders from the buffer for list of folders.
560 @xref{Folder Manager}.
562 Define the folders you want to subscribe in file @file{~/.folders}. The
563 contents written in @file{~/.folders} become the folders which you
564 subscribe to as it is.
566 Format for @file{~/.folders} is very simple. Here is an example:
571 # @r{Lines begin with @samp{#} are comment.}
572 # @r{Empty lines are ignored}
574 # @var{folder name} "@var{folder nickname}"
575 # @r{(nicknames are not necessary)}
580 %#mh/Backup@@my.imap.example.com "Sent"
583 %#mh/spool/wl "Wanderlust ML"
584 %#mh/spool/elips "ELIPS ML"
585 %#mh/spool/apel-ja "APEL Japanese ML"
586 %#mh/spool/xemacs-beta "XEmacs beta"
587 -fj.news.reader.gnus@@other.nntp.example.com "Gnus Net news"
588 *-fj.editor.xemacs,-fj.editor.mule,-fj.editor.emacs "fj's Emacsen"
591 # @r{If folder name ends with @samp{/}, that means an `access group',}
592 # @r{all subfolders automatically included in one folder group.}
594 %#mh/expire@@localhost /
595 # @r{All MH folders are included in one folder group.}
600 Each line contains one folder you want to read. The definition of
601 folders will be explained in detail in the next section.
603 The part surrounded by @samp{@var{group name}@{} and @samp{@}} will
604 become one folder group. One folder group is treated as a directory
605 which can be opened and closed in folder mode. It is convenient for
606 collecting some folders and putting them in order.
608 Please note that @samp{@var{group name}@{} and @samp{@}} occupies one
609 line and you have to write it that way (It is because the parser sucks).
611 There are two types of groups. One is like @samp{Emacsen} from above
612 example which the user chooses his favorite folders as a group.
614 The other one is @dfn{access group} like @samp{+ /} from above example.
615 It collects all sub-folders in the folder to make a group. (Its
616 behavior differs by the type of the folder. For example, @samp{+}
617 followed by @samp{/} makes entire MH sub-directories to one group)
619 This behavior is better understood if you try it and confirmed the
620 function first. You can write and try a small folder definition, so you
621 will know the idea of the folder function before writing the real one.

648 from/to each of the following buffers. Details of each ones are
649 explained in following chapters.
653 You can see the list of folders. You can select some folder and go into the summary
654 of it. You can subscribe new folder or edit subscription list.
656 You can see the list of messages in the folder. You can select message
657 and view its contents, and reply to some message. You can delete ones or
658 move ones to another folder.

711 @samp{%} @var{mailbox} [@samp{:} @var{username} [@samp{/} @var{authenticate-type}]][@samp{@@} @var{hostname}][@samp{:} @var{port}][@samp{!}]
715 You can specify @code{login} (encoded password transmission),
716 @code{cram-md5} (CRAM-MD5 authentication), @code{digest-md5} (DIGEST-MD5
717 authentication) or @code{clear} (or @code{nil}, plain password
718 transmission) as @var{authenticate-type}.
723 @var{username} -> The value of @code{elmo-imap4-default-user}.
724 Initial setting is @env{USER} environment variable or
725 @env{LOGNAME} environment variable or return value of
726 @code{(user-login-name)}.
727 @var{authenticate-type} -> The value of @code{elmo-imap4-default-authenticate-type}.
728 Initial setting is "auth".
729 @var{hostname} -> The value of @code{elmo-imap4-default-server}.
730 Initial setting is "localhost".
731 @var{port} -> The value of @code{elmo-imap4-default-port}.
732 Initial setting is 143.
735 You can omit the @var{hostname} from folder names if you set
736 @code{elmo-imap4-default-server} as your main IMAP server.
737 For example, you can specify a folder as @samp{foo%imap@@gateway} even
738 if you have to go through a firewall.
742 ;; @r{Example: imap4.exaple.org as main IMAP server}
743 (setq elmo-imap4-default-server "imap4.example.org")
747 SSL (Secure Socket Layer) connection will be used if a folder name ends
748 with @samp{!}. Or, if the value of @code{elmo-imap4-default-stream-type}
749 is @code{ssl}, SSL will be the default connection. If a folder name
750 ends with @samp{!!}, STARTTLS connection will be established. If the
751 value of @code{elmo-imap4-default-stream-type} is @code{starttls},
752 STARTTLS will be the default connection.
756 ;; @r{Example: Use SSL connection}
757 (setq elmo-imap4-default-stream-type 'ssl)
761 If you specify @code{login}, @code{cram-md5} or @code{digest-md5} as
762 authentication method, the password is sent in encoded form. But, if
763 your server is unable to receive an encoded password, authentication
764 will fall back to @code{clear} (that is, sending password in raw format)
765 after confirmation to user. If @code{elmo-imap4-force-login} is non-nil,
766 authentication will fall back to @code{clear} without confirmation
767 (default value is @code{nil}).
771 ;; @r{Example: password in raw format}

847 Initial setting is 119.
850 AUTHINFO is used as authentication method if the @var{username} is
851 non-nil. SSL will be default method if
852 @code{elmo-nntp-default-stream-type} is non-nil even if the folder name
853 doesn't end with @samp{!}. If a folder name ends with @samp{!!},
854 STARTTLS connection will be established. if the value of

868 @node MH Folder, Maildir Folder, NNTP Folder, Folders
875 A folder to access MH format mail (1 file is 1 mail).
880 @samp{+} @var{directory-name}
883 Normally, @var{directory-name} is an relative path to the variable
884 @code{elmo-localdir-folder-path} (default is @file{~/Mail}), but if it
885 starts with @samp{/} or @samp{~}, then it is treated as an absolute path
886 (this is also true for drive-letters).
888 Message number is used for the name of the message file.
894 +inbox -> @file{~/Mail/inbox}
895 +from/teranisi -> @file{~/Mail/from/teranisi}
896 +~/test -> @file{~/test}

902 @section Maildir Folder
904 @cindex Maildir Folder
908 A folder to access Maildir format (1 file is 1 mail).
913 @samp{.} [@var{directory-name}]
916 Normally, @var{directory-name} is a relative path to the variable
917 @code{elmo-maildir-folder-path} (default is @file{~/Maildir}), but if it
918 starts with @samp{/} or @samp{~}, then it is treated as an absolute path
919 (this is also true for drive-letters).
921 Maildir contains @file{cur}, @file{new} and @file{tmp} subdirectories.
922 Messages are contained in the @file{cur} directory. All message files
923 in the @file{new} directory are moved to @file{cur} directory when you
924 access the folder. All message files contained in the @file{tmp}
925 directory and not accessed for 36 hours are deleted.
927 This behavior conforms to the @uref{http://cr.yp.to/proto/maildir.html}.

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

978 such as Info-ZIP or LHA, as one folder.
984 @samp{$} @var{path-name} [@samp{;} @var{archiver-type} @samp{;} @var{prefix}]
988 @var{path-name} is the relative path from
989 @code{elmo-archive-folder-path} (initial setting is @file{~/Mail}). If
990 @var{path-name} begins with @samp{/} or @samp{~} or `drive-letter of
991 DOS', @var{path-name} is treated as absolute path. ange-ftp format is
992 also permitted under the environment of ange-ftp, efs.
994 The actual file name of the archive folder is
995 @code{elmo-archive-basename} (Initial setting is @file{elmo-archive})
996 under the @var{path-name}. If a file named @var{path-name} exists, it is
997 treated as folder. The suffix is automatically decided for
1000 If @var{archiver-type} is omitted, @code{elmo-archive-default-type}
1001 (Initial setting is @code{zip}) is referred.
1003 @var{prefix} specifies the internal directory structure of the archive.
1004 For example, if the ML server is fml, @file{msend.tar.gz} has a
1005 structure like @file{spool/1}, so you have to specify @samp{spool} as
1012 $teranisi -> @file{~/Mail/teranisi/elmo-archive.zip}
1013 $bsd/freebsd;lha -> @file{~/Mail/bsd/freebsd/elmo-archive.lzh}
1014 $/foo@@server:~/bar;zoo -> @file{~/bar/elmo-archive.zoo} on ftp server
1015 $d:/msend.tar.gz;tgz;spool -> @file{d:/msend.tar.gz}
1016 $ml;zip/ -> Access group consists of archive folders

1039 By default, following archives are supported.
1043 LHA, Info-ZIP/UNZIP, ZOO, RAR ;; full-access
1044 GNU TAR('tgz, 'tar) ;; read-only
1048 If your archiver can include multiple files in one archive, you have a
1049 possibility use it as an archiver of Wanderlust (ARJ/UNARJ, ARC is one
1050 of the candidate. TAR is supported read-only because it cannot delete
1051 file in the archive (@code{mv})).
1053 @command{gzip}, @command{bzip}, @command{bzip2} cannot be used as an
1054 archiver of Wanderlust because they cannot include multiple
1055 files. Archivers that cannot extract files to standard output are also

1094 * Caution about GNU tar
1096 You have to take care about GNU tar's version because many version has
1097 problem on deleting file from archive.
1099 Please test @option{--delete} @option{-f} options work. Otherwise, your
1100 archive will be destroyed. No problem is reported on above versions of

1106 @cindex Archive Tips
1108 For comfortable migration, usage of @code{wl-summary-archive}
1109 (@pxref{Archive}) or Expire (@pxref{Expire}) is recommended. To treat
1110 archive folders created by expiration, you must set non-nil value to
1111 @code{elmo-archive-treat-file}.
1113 On the OS/2, there is a great difference between Mule2.3(19.28) and Emacs20.2
1114 in processing speed. For comfortable use, Emacs20 is recommended.
1115 (If re-search's performance is the problem, 19.3x or later may be okay.)
1117 If many files are included in one archive,
1118 it takes long time to access the archive folder because
1119 archiver starting overhead is increased (especially LHA).
1120 150-200 messages in one archive is recommended.

1190 @vindex elmo-archive-cmdstr-max-length
1191 The initial setting is 8000.
1193 Max length of command line argument for external archiver program.
1194 Emacs does not have a limit of command line byte length, but some OS
1195 (e.x OS/2) have. It depends on the OS. Archive folder is affected by
1196 this limit because it calls external archiver program directly (not
1197 called via shell). For example, you cannot delete messages if archiver
1198 program must receive larger bytes of arguments to delete. OS/2 have a
1199 command line argument limit of 8190 bytes, so we defined default as 8000
1202 However, you don't have an influence of command line argument limit
1203 if the archiver has `actions' to receive target file information from
1204 standard input (@code{rm-pipe}, @code{mv-pipe}, @code{cat-headers} action).

1598 When you access the pipe folder, messages are automatically transferred

1651 A folder to access internal messages of Wanderlust.
1663 A folder named @samp{'mark} is a special virtual folder which collects
1664 messages which have important mark @samp{$}.
1666 You can review important messages at once after you put important marks
1667 on the messages in the different folders.
1669 In this folder, if you delete message, important mark @samp{$} put on
1670 the message is removed. If you append messages to this folder, the
1671 message will have @samp{$} mark.
1673 (Can't remove important mark @samp{$} on IMAP server from @samp{'mark}
1674 folder. If you want IMAP folder's message remove from @samp{'mark}
1675 folder, remove important mark at IMAP Folder.)
1678 A folder named @samp{'sendlog} is a virtual folder which collects
1679 cached messages which are recoded on @file{~/.elmo/sendlog}.
1680 It might be useful when you forgot to add cc for yourself.
1681 To use this, you should set @code{wl-draft-use-cache} to non-nil
1682 so that sent messages are cached.
1685 You can access cached messages fetched via network by accessing
1686 folders named @samp{'cache/00} - @samp{'cache/1F}. 00 - 1F are
1687 the name of the subdirectories of the cache directory

2107 @cindex Folder, Subscribe
2108 @cindex Folder, Unsubscribe
2110 As described before, subscribed folder list is saved in @file{~/.folders} file.
2111 But you don't have to edit @file{~/.folders} directly.
2112 You can append, delete, edit folders from folder mode.
2114 @subsection Usage (Tips)
2116 @subsubsection Append Folder
2118 @kbd{m a} appends new folder to the folder mode.
2119 @kbd{m g} appends new folder group.
2120 To append new folder to this group, firstly open it,
2121 then execute append command in the next line.
2123 @subsubsection Edit Folder
2125 You can cut folder by @kbd{C-k}, paste by @kbd{C-y}.
2126 Thus, you can change folder position as if you were editing a normal file.
2128 @subsubsection Create Multi Folder.
2132 Type @kbd{m q} to clear @code{wl-fldmgr-cut-entity-list}.
2134 Cut folder by @kbd{C-k} or copy folder by @kbd{M-c}.
2136 Type @kbd{m m}, then you can create multi folder.
2139 @subsubsection Delete Nickname, Filter
2141 You can delete nickname or filter by putting ``''(@var{NULL}) from the
2142 minibuffer while appending.
2144 @subsubsection Append Folder to Empty Group
2146 To append new folder to the empty folder group
2147 (after you create folder group by typing @kbd{m g}),
2148 firstly open it, then execute append command in the next line.
2149 If it is closed, folder is appended on the same level with
2150 the folder group above. It is difficult to explain by words so try it.
2151 In other words, appended position depends on the
2152 open/close status of the upper one.
2154 @subsubsection Charset of the Folders File.
2156 @code{wl-mime-charset} is used for saving @code{wl-folders-file}.
2158 @subsubsection Create Filter
2160 @kbd{m f} adds filter to the folder at the current cursor point. To
2161 create new filter folder and leave the current folder unchanged, copy it
2162 @kbd{M-c}, make filter @kbd{m f} and paste it @kbd{C-y}. Multiple
2163 filter can be specified while appending filter. If you put
2164 ``''(@var{NULL}), filter is deleted.
2166 @subsubsection Sort Folders
2168 Sorting of the folders is executed by the function specified by
2169 @code{wl-fldmgr-sort-function}.
2170 The initial setting is @code{wl-fldmgr-sort-standard},
2171 which sorts alphabetically.
2172 Sorting affects only on the current folder group. It does not
2173 affect on the child groups.
2175 @subsubsection Hiding Folders in the Access Group
2177 Usually, access group displays all children folders, but you can set
2178 some folders hidden. Following operations are only available on access
2181 Command @code{wl-fldmgr-unsubscribe} (@kbd{u}) toggles the visibility
2182 (subscribe/unsubscribe) of the folder at current cursor point. Against
2183 this, @code{wl-fldmgr-unsubscribe-region} (@kbd{U}) hides folders in the
2186 Note that @code{wl-fldmgr-unsubscribe-region} does not toggle while
2187 @code{wl-fldmgr-unsubscribe} toggles. These two commands accept prefix
2188 argument and if the argument has positive number, the unsubscribe it.
2189 If the prefix argument has negative value, folder becomes visible and if
2190 zero, folder visibility is toggled.
2192 The other commands, @code{wl-fldmgr-subscribe} and
2193 @code{wl-fldmgr-subscribe-region} are also prepared (not binded to the
2196 Moreover, if @code{wl-fldmgr-cut} or @code{wl-fldmgr-cut-region} is
2197 executed in the access group, they have a same effect with
2198 @code{wl-fldmgr-unsubscribe} and @code{wl-fldmgr-unsubscribe-region}.
2199 The difference is that cut commands deletes folders from the current
2202 @subsubsection Operations in the Access Group
2204 You can insert and delete folders in the access group like usual folder
2205 group. But insert and delete commands can be only available for the
2206 children folders of the access group and they only sets the subscribe
2207 status. In other words, insertion of the folder means subscribing,
2208 deletion means unsubscribing.
2209 @footnote{In the current implementation,
2210 it is faster to delete region than to unsubscribe region.}
2212 To update the access group when children folders are inserted or deleted
2213 by other way (other than Wanderlust),
2214 open the access group by typing @kbd{C-u @key{RET}}.
2215 @xref{Selecting Folder}.
2217 The order of children folders of access group is saved after
2218 insertion/deletion/sorting.
2219 If you set @code{wl-force-fetch-folders} to non-nil or open access group
2220 by typing @kbd{C-u @key{RET}}, disappeared folders are deleted and
2221 newly created folders are inserted on the top of the access group.

2496 In the summary mode, messages are displayed like following.
2500 377 09/16(Wed)11:57 [+1: Takuro Kitame ] Bug?
2501 381 09/17(Thu)00:16 [+3: Fujikazu Okuni ] elmo-lha.el -- LHA interface

2510 @var{Message number}, @var{Temporal mark}, @var{Persistent mark}, @var{Date}, @var{Sender}, @var{Subject}
2514 If you want to know how to change the format for this, please refer
2515 the section format of Summary lines.
2516 @xref{Summary View}.
2518 @var{Message number} is the message's unique number in the folder. In
2519 the NNTP folder, it is article number, in the IMAP folder, it is UID and
2520 in the MH folder, it is the filename of the message.
2522 @var{Temporal mark} and @var{Persistent mark} are described later.
2524 @var{Date} is displayed like @samp{@var{Month}/@var{Day}(@var{Week
2525 Day})@var{Hour}:@var{Minute}}. Default setting displays week day in
2526 Japanese, but if you want to display it in English, set the value of
2527 @code{wl-summary-weekday-name-lang} as @samp{en}.
2529 @var{Sender}'s indentation corresponds to the depth of the thread.
2530 Sender name is displayed as nickname if it is defined in the address
2531 book. Set @code{wl-use-petname} as @code{nil}, if you want to quit
2532 displaying with nickname.
2534 If number is printed at the head of @var{Sender} part like @samp{+2},
2535 that means the message have 2 follow messages.
2537 @var{Subject} is the @samp{Subject:} header field of the message. If
2538 the message have same @samp{Subject:} with the parent message, it is not
2539 displayed. Some mailing list puts its sequence number in the
2540 @samp{Subject:} field, but it is
2541 ignored. @code{wl-summary-no-subject-message} is displayed when the
2542 message has empty subject field.
2544 @subsection Temporary Marks
2545 @cindex Mark, Temporary
2547 There are four temporary marks,
2548 @samp{*}, @samp{D}, @samp{o} and @samp{O}.
2549 Temporary marks indicates message operations.
2554 You can execute a command on the all messages that have @samp{*} mark,
2555 with the key bindings which begins with @kbd{m}.
2558 The mark to delete. You can put @samp{D} by typing @kbd{d} key.
2562 After you type @kbd{o} key, prompt appears to input refile destination.
2563 Your answer is printed in the summary line.
2567 You can put this mark by typing @kbd{O} key.
2568 The difference between this mark and refile mark is,
2569 this mark does not delete the message while latter does.
2572 @kbd{x} key executes @samp{D}, @samp{o} and @samp{O} marks.
2574 @subsection Persistent Marks
2576 There are five persistent marks,
2577 @samp{N}, @samp{U}, @samp{!}, @samp{u} and @samp{$}.
2579 The persistent mark indicates the message's status and it is saved.
2580 Each persistent mark indicates:
2586 It is unread message.
2588 It is unread but cached message.
2590 It is read but it is not cached.
2592 It is important message. You can put @samp{$} mark by typing @kbd{$}
2593 key (if already exists, the mark is deleted). It is convenient to put
2594 this mark on the messages to remember (If you want to remember to write
2595 a reply for the message, for example) because this mark remains after
2596 you exited Emacs. Messages with the @samp{$} mark can be reviewed in the
2597 @samp{'mark} folder even the message itself is deleted in the actual folder.
2600 If the message is read and cached (or local message),there are no
2604 @samp{N}, @samp{U} and @samp{u} indicates that the message have no
2605 cache. Messages with the marks other than these, you can read them in
2606 the offline status even they are in the IMAP folder or netnews folder.
2608 Among messages with persistent marks, ones with marks specified by
2609 @code{wl-summary-expire-reserve-marks} are excluded from the expiration
2610 (as a function of wanderlust) explained later. @xref{Expire and Archive}.
2612 @subsection How To Read
2614 Basically, you can read messages only typing space key again and again.
2616 To update summary status to the newest status (synchronize),
2619 You can jump to next unread message by typing @kbd{N} key, and @kbd{n} key
2620 moves cursor to the next message.
2621 Enter message buffer by typing @kbd{j} key.
2622 To operate multipart, you have to enter to the message buffer.
2625 @subsection Pack the Message Numbers
2626 You can pack the message numbers in Summary by
2627 @kbd{M-x wl-summary-pack-number}. Note that only MH Folder,
2628 News Spool Folder and Maildir Folder are supported folder types.
2631 @node Thread Operations, Cache, Usage of Summary Mode, Summary
2632 @section Thread Operations
2634 For example, the following line indicates one thread (a context of a topic).
2637 384 09/17(Thu)01:32 [+1: Teranishi ] wl-0.6.2
2641 If you type @kbd{/} on this line, the thread is opened and it changes
2642 the appearance like following.
2646 384 09/17(Thu)01:32 [ Teranishi ] wl-0.6.2
2647 388 09/17(Thu)22:34 +-[ Murata san ]
2651 (Message 388 is the replied message to the message 384.)
2652 If you type @kbd{/} key once again, the thread is closed.
2653 With prefix argument, @kbd{/} opens all children threads.
2655 If you type @kbd{[}, opens all threads in summary. @kbd{]} closes all
2658 Commands with the key binding that begins with @kbd{t} executes commands
2659 on the messages in the thread.
2660 @xref{Key Bindings of Summary}.
2662 @subsection reconstruct thread by hand
2664 You can reconstruct the thread manually. In Summary, @kbd{M-w}
2665 (@code{wl-summary-save-current-message}) at the corresponding message,
2666 and @kbd{C-y} (@code{wl-summary-yank-saved-message}) at the new parent
2667 message then you have the reconstructed thread.
2670 @node Cache, Auto Refile, Thread Operations, Summary
2673 @subsection Cache File
2675 The messages which have to access via network (e.x. IMAP, NNTP folder)
2676 are cached as a local file so as to save network traffic or to enable
2677 off-line operation. The cache file is saved under the directory
2678 @file{~/.elmo/cache}. To expire cache, type @kbd{M-x
2679 elmo-cache-expire-by-size}. The command deletes cache files to the
2680 specified size by the order of last accessed time.
2682 @subsection Buffer Cache and Prefetching
2684 The messages that are read are kept in the cache buffer so as to make
2685 the behavior fast when you are to read the message again. It is called
2686 `buffer cache'. The number of cache buffer is specified by
2687 @code{wl-message-buffer-cache-size}.
2689 There are message prefetching mechanism in the Wanderlust that
2690 prefetches next message while you are reading.
2692 You can control the message prefetching mechanism by these two
2696 @item wl-message-buffer-prefetch-folder-type-list
2697 @vindex wl-message-buffer-prefetch-folder-type-list
2698 The initial setting is @code{t}. In this case, prefetch messages in all
2700 If it is a list of folder types, it specifies the folder types in which
2701 message prefetching is enabled.
2702 Following is an example (prefetch messages in nntp and imap4 folders)
2706 (setq wl-message-buffer-prefetch-folder-type-list
2711 In this case, multi folder that contains localdir and imap4 prefetches
2712 only imap4 messages. This variable precedes the value of
2713 @code{wl-message-buffer-prefetch-folder-list}.
2715 @item wl-message-buffer-prefetch-folder-list
2716 @vindex wl-message-buffer-prefetch-folder-list
2717 The initial setting is @code{nil}.
2718 A list of regexp of folders to enable message prefetching.
2720 @item wl-message-buffer-prefetch-depth
2721 @vindex wl-message-buffer-prefetch-depth
2722 The initial setting is 3. The number of messages for automatical prefetch.
2724 @item wl-message-buffer-prefetch-idle-time
2725 @vindex wl-message-buffer-prefetch-idle-time
2726 The initial setting is 0.2 (in seconds). The period of automatical prefetch.
2728 @item wl-message-buffer-prefetch-threshold
2729 @vindex wl-message-buffer-prefetch-threshold
2730 The initial setting is 30000 (bytes). If prefetching message has larger
2731 size than this value, Wanderlust does not prefetch automatically.
2732 If @code{wl-message-buffer-prefetch-threshold} is @code{nil},
2733 the message is not checked for the size.
2735 @item wl-auto-prefetch-first
2736 @vindex wl-auto-prefetch-first
2737 The initial setting is @code{nil}.
2738 If non-nil, first message is automatically prefetched to the buffer
2739 when you enter the folder.
2743 @node Auto Refile, Sticky Summary, Cache, Summary
2744 @section Auto Refile
2745 @vindex elmo-msgdb-extra-fields
2746 @vindex wl-refile-rule-alist
2747 @findex wl-summary-auto-refile
2749 You can refile messages automatically, by typing @kbd{C-o}
2750 (@code{wl-summary-auto-refile}). It decides destination of refile by
2751 the content of the message header information (information in the msgdb).
2753 By default, @samp{From:}, @samp{Subject:}, @samp{To:} and @samp{Cc:} is
2754 available. If you want to decide destination by other header fields,
2755 set the variable @code{elmo-msgdb-extra-fields} like following.
2759 (setq elmo-msgdb-extra-fields
2769 By this setting, Wanderlust saves extra fields in the msgdb. You have
2770 to type @kbd{s all} to get extra fields for the messages that are
2771 already exists in the summary.
2773 Then, specify the refile rule. The refile target folder of auto
2774 refiling is decided by the value of @code{wl-refile-rule-alist}.
2775 @code{wl-refile-rule-alist} is a list of a rule:
2779 (@var{field} (@var{regexp} . @var{target})
2780 (@var{regexp} . @var{target})
2785 Each rule means `if @var{field} value matches @var{regexp},
2786 then refile to @var{target} folder'.
2787 The rule matched first is applied.
2789 @var{field} is a string of field name. You can specify a list of field name
2790 string, too. In this case, if one of these fields is matched, then the
2791 rule is fired (i.e. OR condition).
2793 @var{regexp} is a regular expression for field value. @var{target} is a target
2794 folder string. You can specify a rule at @var{target} part, too. In this
2795 case, If the field value of the rule and the current rule is matched,
2796 then the current rule is fired (i.e. AND condition).
2798 You can refer matched substring of @var{regexp} to specify @var{target} part.
2799 To refer substring, use following keys:
2803 means substitute original matched text.
2806 means substitute what matched the @var{N}th `\(@dots{}\)'.
2807 (@var{N} is a number.)
2810 Following is an example of @code{wl-refile-rule-alist}.
2814 (setq wl-refile-rule-alist
2816 ("^Wanderlust" . "+wl")
2817 ("^Elisp" . "+elisp"))
2819 ("\\([a-z]+\\)@@gohome\\.org" . "+\\1"))
2821 ("me@@gohome\\.org" . ("To" ("you@@gohome\\.org" .
2822 "+from-me-to-you"))))))
2826 After these settings, refile marks are automatically put on the condition
2827 matched messages by typing @kbd{C-o} (@code{wl-summary-auto-refile}).
2829 Messages which have @code{wl-summary-auto-refile-skip-marks} is skipped
2831 By default, @samp{N}, @samp{U} and @samp{!} is specified, so the messages
2832 with these persistent marks are not automatically refiled.
2833 It means Wanderlust does not execute auto refile on unread messages by
2834 the default setting.
2835 To execute auto refile on all messages, set following.
2838 (setq wl-summary-auto-refile-skip-marks nil)
2842 @node Sticky Summary, Summary View, Auto Refile, Summary
2843 @section Sticky Summary
2844 @cindex Summary, Sticky
2845 @cindex Sticky Summary
2847 The buffer of the `sticky summary' does not killed by typing @kbd{q}.
2849 By entering the summary by typing @kbd{Shift RET} in Folder mode or
2850 @kbd{G} in some suummary sticky summary buffer is created.
2851 Also typing @kbd{M-s} (@code{wl-summary-stick}) on the normal summary
2852 makes current one sticky.
2854 The buffer name of the sticky summary becomes like
2855 @samp{Summary:@var{folder-name}}.
2856 You can visit the sticky summary at any time by @kbd{C-x b}
2857 (@code{switch-to-buffer}), or you can go round summary buffers by
2858 @kbd{C-c C-n} (@code{wl-summary-previous-buffer}) and @kbd{C-c C-p}
2859 (@code{wl-summary-next-buffer}) in summary mode.
2861 In sticky summary, the summary buffer is preserved after @kbd{g} or
2862 @kbd{q}. To delete sticky summary, type @kbd{C-u q} to exit or move to
2863 another summary by @kbd{C-u g}. Other operations in the sticky summary
2864 are same as normal summary.
2866 @code{wl-summary-always-sticky-folder-list} specifies the folders that
2867 are automatically stuck.

2871 @section Format of summary lines
2872 @cindex Format of summary lines
2873 You can alter the format of lines in Summary mode.
2875 Summary line format is specified by @code{wl-summary-line-format}.
2876 You can use control strings defined by
2877 @code{wl-summary-line-format-spec-alist}.
2883 ;; @r{number temporary-mark persistent-mark date branch}
2884 ;; @r{[ (number-of-children) sender ] subject}
2885 (setq wl-summary-line-format "%n%T%P%M/%D(%W) %t%[%17(%c %f%) %] %s")
2889 Where the number set the column number of the field (for negative value,
2892 Major control strings defined by @code{wl-summary-line-format-spec-alist}
2893 are displayed in the following list.
2904 %t branch of the thread
2905 %[ [ (< for re-connected child)
2906 %] ] (> for re-connected child)
2910 %c +number-of-children: (display only for opened thread)
2911 %C [+number-of-children] (display only for opened thread)
2912 %T temporary mark (mandatory)
2913 %P persistent mark (mandatory)
2917 @code{wl-summary-line-format} must contain temporary mark (@samp{%T})
2918 and persistent mark (@samp{%P}). Furthermore, these marks must appear at
2919 the constant column. For example, if you specify @samp{%T} or
2920 @samp{%P} after the @samp{%t}, which changes its length by thread
2921 position, marks are not treated correctly.
2923 If the format string is enclosed by @samp{%number(} and @samp{%)}, the
2924 column of the enclosed region is justified to the `number'. Multiple
2925 level @samp{%number(} parenthesis can be defined. It is useful to
2926 justify the column of the multiple control strings. For example, in the
2927 above @code{wl-summary-line-format},
2933 means ``Adjust number-of-children and sender string to the 17 column''.
2935 You can specify the format by each folders with
2936 @code{wl-folder-summary-line-format-alist}. Please set regular
2937 expression for folder names and summary line format as the following
2942 (setq wl-folder-summary-line-format-alist
2943 '(("^%" . "%T%P%M/%D(%W)%h:%m %t%[%17(%c %f%) %] %s")
2944 ("^+" . "%n%T%P%M/%D %[ %17f %] %t%C%s")))
2948 @subsection on the format for sender name
2950 The format string @samp{%f} displays the return value of the function specified
2951 by @code{wl-summary-from-function}. If you use the function
2952 @code{wl-summary-default-from} (default), it displays sender name ordinarily,
2953 while displays the recipient names if the folder name matches with
2954 @code{wl-summary-showto-folder-regexp} and the sender is yourself.
2955 If the value of @code{wl-use-petname} is Non-nil, it uses petname to display.
2957 For example, to display recipient names for the message in @samp{+backup} if
2958 its sender is yourself, set up as follows.

4208 The initial setting of @code{wl-draft-config-alist} is @code{nil}.
4210 In the example below, the header is modified when
4211 @code{wl-draft-send-and-exit} or @code{wl-draft-send} is invoked. You
4212 can set @code{wl-interactive-send} to non-nil so as to confirm changes
4213 before sending the message.

4228 (top . "Hello.\n") ;; @r{inserted at the top of the body}
4229 (bottom . "\nBye.\n") ;; @r{inserted at the bottom of the body}
4234 The format of @code{wl-draft-config-alist} is:
4238 '(("@var{regexp of the header}" or @var{elisp expression}
4239 ("@var{Field}" . value(@var{elisp expression}))
4240 (@var{variable} . value(@var{elisp expression}))

4244 ("@var{regexp of the header}" or @var{elisp expression}
4245 ("@var{Field}" . value(@var{elisp expression}))
4250 Per default, there are 10 following sub-functions.
4253 'header: Inserts the specified string at the bottom of the header.
4254 'header-top: Inserts the specified string at the top of the header.
4255 'header-file: Inserts the specified file at the bottom of the header.
4256 'x-face: Inserts @samp{X-Face:} field with the content of the specified file.
4257 'top: Inserts the specified string at the top of the body.
4258 'top-file: Inserts the specified file at the top of the body.
4259 'body: Replaces the body with the specified string.
4260 Specifying @code{nil} deletes the entire body string.
4261 'body-file: Replaces the body with the content of the specified file.
4262 'bottom: Inserts the specified string at the bottom of the body.
4263 'bottom-file: Inserts the specified file at the top of the body.
4264 'part-top: Inserts the specified string at the top of the current part.
4265 'part-bottom: Inserts the specified string at the bottom of the current part.
4266 'template: Applies the specified template.
4267 (refer to the next subsection)
4270 These are defined in @code{wl-draft-config-sub-func-alist} and you can
4271 change them or add your own functions. If you read the code, you can
4272 easily find how to write the functions.
4274 At the first of each item, @var{a regular expression of the header} or
4275 an @var{elisp expression} should be specified. In the case of an elisp
4276 expression, the item is applied when the expression is evaluated
4279 Per default, when multiple items match or are evaluated non-nil, all
4280 such items are applied, but if you set a variable
4281 @code{wl-draft-config-matchone} to @code{t}, only the first matching one
4284 At the second of the item, a cons or a list of functions should be
4285 specified. The car part of the cons should be a header field, a
4286 variable, or a sub-function. When a header field is specified, the
4287 field will be modified. If a variable is specified, the value of the
4288 variable will be modified temporarily.
4290 In the cdr part of a cons, not only a variable but also an elisp
4291 expression can be specified as is. If the car part is a header field
4292 and the cdr part is @code{nil}, the field will be deleted.
4294 See the next example as well:
4298 (setq wl-draft-config-alist
4300 "X-ML-Name: \\(Wanderlust\\|emacs-mime-ja\\|apel-ja\\)"
4301 ;; @r{applied if it matches the header of the buffer being replied}
4302 (body . " Hello.\n")
4303 (template . "default")
4308 As in the (1) above, if a header regexp is prepended with @code{reply},
4309 it is applied when the draft is prepared by @code{wl-summary-reply} for
4310 example, and when it matches the header being replied. It is ignored
4311 when there is no buffer being replied, like after @code{wl-draft} was
4314 If you want to use name of parent folder, you can refer the buffer local
4315 variable @code{wl-draft-parent-folder}. In the following example, Wanderlust
4316 changes From according to the folder name of the summary in which the draft
4321 (setq wl-draft-config-alist
4322 '(((string-match \".*@@domain1$\" wl-draft-parent-folder)
4323 (\"From\" . \"user@@domain1\"))
4324 ((string-match \".*@@domain2$\" wl-draft-parent-folder)
4325 (\"From\" . \"user@@domain2\"))))
4330 Note that @code{wl-draft-config-alist} is applied only once when
4331 @code{wl-draft-send-and-exit} or @code{wl-draft-send} is invoked.
4332 Therefore, if you want to apply @code{wl-draft-config-alist} again after
4333 aborting transmission, execute @kbd{C-c C-e}
4334 (@code{wl-draft-config-exec}) explicitly.
4336 If you don't want to apply @code{wl-draft-config-alist} when
4337 @code{wl-draft-send-and-exit} or @code{wl-draft-send} is invoked,
4341 (remove-hook 'wl-draft-send-hook 'wl-draft-config-exec)
4344 If you want to apply @code{wl-draft-config-alist} when a draft buffer is
4345 prepared, do the following:
4348 (add-hook 'wl-mail-setup-hook 'wl-draft-config-exec)
4351 If you want to apply @code{wl-draft-config-alist} when you re-edit a mail
4352 from summary mode by typing @kbd{E}(@code{wl-summary-reedit}), do the

4364 Set a variable @code{wl-template-alist}, and type @kbd{C-c C-j} or
4365 @kbd{M-x wl-template-select} in the draft buffer.
4367 The format of @code{wl-template-alist} is almost the same as
4368 @code{wl-draft-config-alist}.
4372 (setq wl-template-alist
4375 ("Organization" . "Example Co.Ltd.")

4379 ("To" . "boss@@example.com")
4380 ("Subject" . "Report")
4381 (body-file . "~/work/report.txt")
4387 As you can see, the only difference is item (template) names such as
4388 @samp{default} and @samp{report}, instead of a regexp of header.
4389 Because definition of each item is the same as
4390 @code{wl-draft-config-alist}, you can call another template, like (a).
4392 Executing the command @code{wl-template-select} results in template
4393 selection, but the result differs depending on variable
4394 @code{wl-template-visible-select}.
4396 If @code{wl-template-visible-select} is @code{t} (default), a buffer
4397 window is shown below the draft buffer. You can select a template by
4398 @kbd{n} and @kbd{p} seeing the buffer window.
4400 Press the @key{RET} key and the template is actually applied to the draft
4401 buffer. If you press @kbd{q}, nothing is applied. In addition, you can
4402 adjust the window size by @code{wl-template-buffer-lines}.
4404 If @code{wl-template-visible-select} is @code{nil}, you should type the
4405 name of the template in the mini buffer.
4407 As shown in the example in @code{wl-draft-config-alist}, you can select

5080 these off-line operations for IMAP4 and NNTP do not take place, and
5081 off-line re-file, copy or suchlike simply results in error.
5083 Because off-line operations use cache files, it is a bad idea to erase
5084 them by hand; it may cause Wanderlust to malfunction.
5086 If you want to remove caches, be sure to execute @kbd{M-x

5132 and ports, where @samp{[ON]} stands for on-line and @samp{[--]} for
5133 off-line (in XEmacs or Emacs 21, they are shown with icons). Pressing
5134 @kbd{@key{SPC}} or @kbd{@key{RET}} in each line switches its state.
5136 @dfn{sending queue} means messages accumulated in the folder

5283 @cindex Expire Message
5285 Expiration means deletion of old messages which have outlasted a
5286 certain period of time.
5288 @code{wl-expire} supports not only simple deletion, but also moving to
5289 specified archiving folders.
5293 Configure @code{wl-expire-alist} and press @kbd{e} in the folder mode,
5294 or @kbd{M-e} in the summary mode.
5296 @subsection Configuring @code{wl-expire-alist}
5298 An example configuration of @code{wl-expire-alist} is shown below.
5299 Everything in this @code{wl-expire-alist} makes a great difference in
5300 expiration, so be careful. I advise you to set @code{wl-expire-use-log}
5301 to @code{t}, especially in the initial stage.
5305 (setq wl-expire-alist

5324 Items in the list has the format of:
5327 (@var{regexp-for-folders} @var{specification-of-messages-to-be-deleted} @var{destination})
5331 The folder is examined if it matches @var{regexp-for-folders} from the
5332 beginning of the list. If you invoke expiration on the folder that does
5333 not match any of them, nothing will happen. And if either the second or
5334 the third element of the item is @code{nil}, expiration will not take
5337 You can use any one of the following for
5338 @var{specification-of-message-to-be-deleted}:
5341 @item (number @var{n1} [@var{n2}])
5342 deletes messages depending on the number of messages in the folder.
5344 @var{n1} is the number of messages which should survive deletion, for example
5345 if its value is 500, the newest 500 messages survive and the rests are
5348 @var{n2} is the number of messages in the folder on which expiration should
5349 take place, which defaults to @var{n1} + 1. For example if its value is 510,
5350 folders with 510 or more messages are expired.
5351 If you configured automatic expiration, frequently used folders may
5352 expire every time it receive messages, and you may be annoyed with the
5353 long delay in reading mail.
5354 In that case, you can set a wide margin between @var{n2} and @var{n1}, so that
5355 expiration would not take place until a certain number of messages
5358 Messages with marks in @code{wl-summary-expire-reserve-marks} (marked
5359 with important/new/unread) are not deleted.
5360 If @code{wl-expire-number-with-reserve-marks} is non-nil, the folder
5361 will expire so as to have 500 messages including such ones.
5362 Otherwise, it will have 500 messages except such ones.
5364 @item (date @var{d1})
5365 deletes messages depending on the dates.
5367 Messages dated @var{d1} or more days ago are deleted, for example if its
5368 value is seven, messages seven days old or more are deleted. Note that
5369 the date is the one in the @samp{Date:} field of the message, not when
5370 the message entered the folder.
5372 Messages with no or invalid @samp{Date:} field does not expire; you
5373 might have to delete them by hand.
5376 You can use any one of the following in the place of @var{destination}:
5380 deletes the messages instantly.
5383 hide the messages from summary (messages are not deleted).
5386 moves the messages to @code{wl-trash-folder}.
5388 @item @var{string}(folder)
5389 moves the messages to the folder specified with @var{string}.
5391 It would be useful for specifying an archiving folder, but because this
5392 does not move important messages, it might be better to use the
5393 standard functions described below.
5395 @item @var{function}
5396 invokes the specified @var{function}.
5398 To the @var{function}, three arguments are passed: a folder name, a list
5399 of messages to be deleted, and msgdb information of the summary. You
5400 can specify function-specific arguments after the name of the
5401 @var{function}. Note that the list contains messages with marks in
5402 @code{wl-summary-expire-reserve-marks}, be careful in writing your own
5405 These are four standard functions; three of them move messages to an archive
5406 folder in the specified way. This means old messages can be compressed
5407 and saved in a file, being deleted from the original folder.
5408 The last one divides messages to some MH folders.
5411 @item wl-expire-archive-number1
5412 re-files to archiving folders corresponding to the message numbers of
5413 the messages being deleted. For example, a message numbered 102 will be
5414 re-filed to @file{wl-00100.zip}, 390 to @file{wl-00300.zip}, and so on.
5415 If @code{wl-expire-archive-files} is 200, messages will be re-filed to
5416 @file{wl-00000.zip}, @file{wl-00200.zip}, @file{wl-00400.zip}, @dots{}.
5418 The archiving folders to which messages are re-filed are determined by
5419 the name of the folder as follows (in this case, archiving folders are
5420 handled as if @code{elmo-archive-treat-file} were non-nil).
5423 @item If the folder type is localdir:
5424 @file{@var{ArchiveDir}/@var{foldername}-xxxxx.zip}
5426 For example, @samp{+ml/wl} corresponds to @samp{$ml/wl;zip}
5427 (@file{~/Mail/ml/wl-00100.zip}).
5429 @item The folder type is other than localdir:
5430 @file{@var{ArchiveDir}/@var{foldertype}/@var{foldername}-xxxxx.zip}
5432 For example, @samp{%#mh/ml/wl} corresponds to
5433 @samp{$imap4/#mh/ml/wl;zip} (@file{~/Mail/imap4/#mh/ml/wl-00100.zip}).
5436 As you can see, in the case of localdir, the folder type is not included
5437 in the path name, but otherwise it is included.
5438 And you can control the prefix to the archiving folder name by
5439 @code{wl-expire-archive-folder-prefix}.
5440 Refer to @code{wl-expire-archive-folder-prefix} for details.
5442 @item wl-expire-archive-number2
5443 re-files every certain number of messages to archiving folders.
5445 This differs from @samp{wl-expire-archive-number1} in that this re-files
5446 to the folder up to the specified number regardless of message numbers.
5447 The archiving folders to which messages are re-filed are determined in the
5448 same way as @code{wl-expire-archive-number1}.
5450 @item wl-expire-archive-date
5451 re-files messages depending on its date (year and month) to archive
5454 For example, a message dated December 1998 is re-filed to
5455 @code{$folder-199812;zip}. The name of the archiving folders except the
5456 date part are determined in the same way as
5457 @code{wl-expire-archive-number1}.
5460 You can set the first argument to these three standard functions to non-nil
5461 in @code{wl-expire-alist} so as to retain message numbers in the folder.
5462 For example, it can be specified just after the name of the function:
5465 ("^\\+ml/wl$" (number 300 310) wl-expire-archive-number1 t)
5468 If you omit the argument, consecutive numbers from 1 are assigned for
5469 each archiving folder.
5471 @item wl-expire-localdir-date
5472 divedes messages depending on its date (year and month) to MH folders
5473 e.g. to @samp{+ml/wl/1999_11/}, @samp{+ml/wl/1999_12/}.
5477 @subsection Treatment for Important or Unread Messages
5479 If you specify any of @code{remove}, @code{trash}, a folder name, or a
5480 standard function, messages with marks in
5481 @code{wl-summary-expire-reserve-marks} (which are called @dfn{reserved
5482 messages} thereafter) are retained.
5484 Per default, this variable include the important, new, and unread marks,
5485 so that messages with these marks are not removed.
5486 Note that you cannot include the temporary mark (i.e. temporary marks
5487 are removed anyway), and be sure to process temporary marks before you
5490 @subsection Auto Expiration
5492 The following setup invokes expiration when you move into the summary
5493 mode. There will be no confirmation, so make sure you made no mistake
5494 in regexp and other settings before you set up this.
5498 (add-hook 'wl-summary-prepared-pre-hook 'wl-summary-expire)
5502 In the folder mode, you can invoke expiration per group as well as per
5503 folder. Therefore, if you specify @samp{Desktop} group, all folders
5504 matching @code{wl-expire-alist} expire.
5508 @subsection Treating archive folders.
5509 To treat archive folders created by @code{wl-expire-archive-number1} and so on,
5510 you must set non-nil value to @code{elmo-archive-treat-file}.
5512 @subsection Confirming
5514 If you are to use @code{remove}, try @code{trash} at first and see
5515 messages move to @code{wl-trash-folder} as expected, then replace it
5516 with @code{remove}. It would be dangerous to use @code{remove} from the
5519 If you are to use @code{wl-expire-archive-number1} and the like, try to
5520 make a folder of the archiver type (@code{zip} or @code{lha}) and see if
5521 you can append messages to it. Even if settings in
5522 @code{wl-expire-alist} and @code{elmo-archive} are correct, messages
5523 would not be saved anywhere and disappeared in case the archiver program
5526 After you make sure you can archive to the folder correctly, you can
5527 invoke expiration and utilize the log.
5529 If you set @code{wl-expire-use-log} to @code{t},
5530 @file{~/.elmo/expired-log} should contain the log, for example:
5534 delete +ml/wl (593 594 595 596 597 598 599)
5535 move +ml/wl -> $ml/wl-00600;tgz;wl (600 601 602)
5539 The first column indicates the operation, i.e. @samp{delete},
5540 @samp{copy}, or @samp{move}. The next is the name of the folder that
5541 expired. In the case of @samp{copy} and @samp{move}, the destination
5542 folder is recorded after @samp{->}. The last is the list of message
5543 numbers that are actually deleted or moved (in the case of @samp{copy}
5544 and @samp{move}, the number is the one in the source folder, rather than
5545 the destination folder).
5547 @subsection Re-filing Reserved Messages
5549 The three standard functions copy reserved messages to the archive
5550 folder, but do not delete them from the source folder. Because
5551 reserved messages and the like always remain, they are recorded in
5552 @file{~/.elmo/expired-alist} so that they are not copied over and over
5553 again. They are not recorded if copied by @code{wl-summary-archive}.
5555 If you enabled logging, usually @samp{move} is recorded for re-filing,
5556 but instead @samp{copy} and @samp{delete} are recorded separately if
5557 reserved messages are involved. This is because it actually copies
5558 messages including reserved, then deletes ones except reserved in that

5777 other than the following points:
5780 @item No messages are deleted
5781 @item Message numbers are retained even if invoked without arguments
5784 These functions are good to archive all messages in a folder by their

5842 You can put target or important marks on essential messages, or read marks
5843 on the ones you do not want to read, for example spam articles.
5845 This scoring function has a capability and a format similar to the one
5846 that Gnus has, although there are some unsupported features and

5860 @subsection Score File Specification
5862 @code{wl-score-folder-alist} specifies score files or variables in which
5863 scores are defined, corresponding to folder names.
5867 (setq wl-score-folder-alist
5876 If paths to the score files are omitted, the directory specified in the
5877 variable @code{wl-score-files-directory} is assumed.
5879 No matter what you write in @code{wl-score-folder-alist}, the default
5880 score file @code{wl-score-default-file} (@file{all.SCORE}) is always
5881 read (it does not have to exist).
5882 Therefore, in the example above, the three score files,
5883 @file{news.SCORE}, @file{my.SCORE}, and @file{all.SCORE} are read for
5884 the folders that matches @samp{^-.*}.
5886 @subsection Scored Messages
5888 Scores are attached to the messages that are specified by
5889 @code{wl-summary-score-marks} temporarily when the summary is updated;
5890 when you exit from the summary, the scores are removed and reverts to
5893 @subsection Creation of Score Files
5895 In the summary buffer, move to an appropriate message and type @kbd{L}.
5896 Then type @kbd{s}, @kbd{s}, and @kbd{p} at a prompt in a mini-buffer.
5897 The string in Subject is presented. Edit it and press @kbd{@key{RET}}.
5899 This makes @minus{}1000 are scored for messages with the same
5900 @samp{Subject:} as the string you entered. That is, such a score file
5901 is created automatically.
5903 Then, try typing @kbd{h} and @kbd{e} in the same summary buffer.
5904 The score file you just made appears.
5905 This buffer is called @dfn{score editing buffer} thereafter.
5906 When you type @kbd{C-c C-e} in it, you are prompted in the mini-buffer
5907 as you are previously; type @kbd{a}. Then a score entry for "From"
5909 In this way, you can create a score file easily either in the summary
5910 buffer or in the score editing buffer.
5912 By the way, you might be aware the numbers of key strokes are different
5913 between @kbd{s s p} and @kbd{a}.
5914 This is determined by @code{wl-score-header-default-entry}.
5915 This variable specifies the default score entries corresponding to
5917 For example, for "subject" field, a type and a time limit are prompted,
5918 but for "from" field, they are fixed upon automatically as substring and
5919 permanent respectively.
5920 However, score values can be modified by the prefix argument.
5921 Typing @kbd{?} at the mini-buffer shows a help on keys and corresponding
5924 At last, type @kbd{C-c C-c} in the score editing buffer. This saves the
5925 score file and terminates the edit mode. Typing @kbd{C-c C-c} after
5926 erasing contents of the buffer deletes the score file being edited.
5930 @subsubsection Selecting Score Files
5932 You can change score files to which scores are appended by
5933 @code{wl-summary-increase-score} and @code{wl-summary-lower-score} by
5934 @code{wl-score-change-score-file}.
5936 @subsubsection Summing Up the Score
5938 If you add the same entries by @code{wl-summary-increase-score},
5939 @code{wl-summary-lower-score}, and @code{wl-score-edit-insert-entry},
5940 scores for the entry is summed up.
5942 For example, if you create @samp{from} entry with the score of @minus{}1000 by
5943 @kbd{L a} and again @samp{from} with @minus{}200, one entry with the score of
5944 @minus{}1200 will be created as a result.
5946 @subsubsection Creating Thread Key
5948 Creating @samp{Thread} key by @code{wl-summary-increase-score} or
5949 @code{wl-summary-lower-score} appends @samp{Message-ID} of all children.
5951 @subsubsection Creating Followup Key
5953 Creating @samp{Followup} key by @code{wl-summary-increase-score} or
5954 @code{wl-summary-lower-score} appends @samp{Message-ID} of the message
5955 at the cursor to @samp{References} key.

6346 @code{elmo-split-rule}. On the other hand, invoke @kbd{C-u M-x elmo-split}
6347 to do a rehearsal (do not split actually).
6349 We will describe how to specify the rule. First of all, see following
6354 (setq elmo-split-rule
6355 ;; @r{Store messages from spammers into @samp{+junk}}
6356 '(((or (address-equal from "i.am@@spammer")
6357 (address-equal from "dull-work@@dull-boy")
6358 (address-equal from "death-march@@software")
6359 (address-equal from "ares@@aon.at")
6360 (address-equal from "get-money@@richman"))
6362 ;; @r{Store messages from mule mailing list into @samp{%mule}}
6363 ((equal x-ml-name "mule") "%mule")
6364 ;; @r{Store messages from wanderlust mailing list into @samp{%wanderlust}}
6365 ;; @r{and continue evaluating following rules}
6366 ((equal x-ml-name "wanderlust") "%wanderlust" continue)
6367 ;; @r{Store messages from Yahoo user into @samp{+yahoo-@{username@}}}
6368 ((match from "\\(.*\\)@@yahoo\\.com")
6370 ;; @r{Store unmatched mails into @samp{+inbox}}
6375 The basic unit of the rule is a combination like
6378 (@samp{CONDITION} @samp{FOLDER} [@code{continue}])
6381 The 1st element @samp{CONDITION} is a balanced expression (sexp). Its
6382 grammar will be explained below. The 2nd element @samp{FOLDER} is the
6383 name of the folder to split messages into. When the 3rd element
6384 @code{continue} is specified as symbol, evaluating rules is not stopped
6385 even when the condition is satisfied.
6387 The grammar for @samp{CONDITION} is as follows. See example above to
6388 learn how to write the condition practically.
6392 Functions which accept argument @samp{FIELD-NAME} and @samp{VALUE}.
6393 (@samp{FIELD-NAME} is a symbol that describes the field name)
6397 True if the field value equals to @samp{VALUE}.
6398 Case of the letters are ignored.
6400 True if the field value matches to VALUE.
6401 @samp{VALUE} can contain @code{\&} and @code{\N} which will substitute
6402 from matching @code{\(\)} patterns in the previous @samp{VALUE}.
6403 @item @code{address-equal}
6404 True if one of the addresses in the field equals to
6405 @samp{VALUE}. Case of the letters are ignored.
6406 @item @code{address-match}
6407 True if one of the addresses in the field matches to
6409 @samp{VALUE} can contain @code{\&} and @code{\N} which will substitute
6410 from matching @code{\(\)} patterns in the previous @samp{VALUE}.
6414 Functions which accept any number of arguments.
6418 True if one of the argument returns true.
6420 True if all of the arguments return true.
6426 When a symbol is specified, it is evaluated.

6444 @cindex Address book Definition
6446 @cindex Alias, Address
6448 The file @file{~/.addresses} is a simple address book for Wanderlust.
6449 Make address file @file{~/.addresses}, and edit to suit your requirement.
6451 The data written in @file{~/.addresses} are used for address completion
6452 under draft editing mode. Furthermore, they are used when showing names
6453 in summary display mode. You can safely skip this section, if you don't
6454 want to customize address completion and summary display.
6455 It is possible to add/change/remove addresses from @file{~/.addresses} in
6456 summary buffer after Wanderlust is invoked. @refill
6458 The format is very simple. Like this. @refill
6463 # @r{Lines begin with @samp{#} are comment.}
6464 # @r{Empty lines are ignored}
6466 # @r{Format of each line:}
6467 # @var{email-address} "@var{nickname} "@var{realname}"
6469 teranisi@@gohome.org "Yuuichi" "Yuuichi Teranishi"
6470 foo@@bar.gohome.org "Mr. Foo" "John Foo"
6471 bar@@foo.gohome.org "Mr. Bar" "Michael Bar"
6476 One line defines one persons description.
6478 Actually, in default setup, @var{nickname} is used in summary-mode and
6479 @var{realname} is used in draft preparation mode. This behavior is
6480 better understood if you try it and confirmed the function first. You
6481 can write and try a small definition, so you will know the idea of the
6482 address book before writing a big one.
6484 And, if MH alias file is specified in variable @code{wl-alias-file},
6485 it is used as an address information in the draft preparation mode.
6487 If variable @code{wl-use-ldap} is non-nil (initial setting is
6488 @code{nil}), address completion in draft mode uses LDAP information.
6490 If you use LDAP, you have to set @code{wl-ldap-server},
6491 @code{wl-ldap-port} and @code{wl-ldap-base} properly. If your emacs does
6492 not have LDAP feature as built-in feature (Currently only XEmacs can
6493 have built-in LDAP feature), you have to set command exec @env{PATH} to
6494 the program @command{ldapsearch}.

7151 If you type @kbd{a} in the Summary Buffer, a draft for reply is prepared.
7152 The addressee for the draft is decided by following rules.
7154 For example, you can set as follows:
7158 (setq wl-draft-reply-without-argument-list
7159 '(("Mail-Followup-To" . (("Mail-Followup-To") nil ("Newsgroups")))
7160 ("Followup-To" . (nil nil ("Followup-To")))
7161 (("X-ML-Name" "Reply-To") . (("Reply-To") nil nil))
7162 ("From" . (("From") ("To" "Cc") ("Newsgroups")))))
7166 Where each element of the list @code{wl-draft-reply-without-argument-list}
7170 (key . (to-list cc-list newsgroup-list))
7173 and if the field designated by @samp{key} exist in the parent message,
7174 parent's field values designated by @samp{to-list} are copied to @samp{To:}
7175 in the draft. Similarly, parent's fields designated by @samp{cc-list} and
7176 @samp{newsgroup-list} are copied to @samp{Cc:} and @samp{Newsgroups:} in
7177 the draft respectively.
7182 ("Mail-Followup-To" . (("Mail-Followup-To") nil ("Newsgroups")))
7185 Match if the parent has @samp{Mail-Followup-To} field.
7186 The components of parent's @samp{Mail-Followup-To} and @samp{Newsgroups}
7187 fields are copied to @samp{To} and @samp{Newsgroups} in the draft
7191 (("X-ML-Name" "Reply-To") . (("Reply-To") nil nil))
7194 Match if the parent has both @samp{X-ML-Name} and @samp{Reply-To} fields.
7195 Parent's @samp{Reply-To} is copied to @samp{To} in the draft.
7198 ("From" . (("From") ("To" "Cc") ("Newsgroups")))
7201 Copy parent's @samp{From} to @samp{To} in the draft, parent's @samp{To} and
7202 @samp{Cc} to @samp{Cc}, parent's @samp{Newsgroups} to @samp{Newsgroups}
7205 These are evaluated in order and first matched one is used.
7207 Moreover, the behavior of @kbd{a} with prefix argument can
7208 be directed by @code{wl-draft-reply-with-argument-list} as well.
7210 By the way, you can use some function (will be evaluated in the parent
7211 message buffer) in the place of @samp{key} or @samp{to-list} etc.
7212 For example, if you only want to reply to mailing lists in
7213 @code{wl-subscribed-mailing-list} if the parent has some of them,
7218 (defun wl-mailing-list-addresses ()
7222 (nth 1 (std11-extract-address-components addr)))
7225 (elmo-multiple-fields-body-list (list "To" "Cc"))
7227 (when (elmo-string-matched-member to wl-subscribed-mailing-list t)
7228 (setq list-addrs (cons to list-addrs))))
7229 (nreverse list-addrs)))
7231 (setq wl-draft-reply-with-argument-list
7232 '((wl-mailing-list-addresses . (wl-mailing-list-addresses nil nil))
7233 ("Reply-To" . (("Reply-To") nil nil))
7234 ("Mail-Reply-To" . (("Mail-Reply-To") nil nil))
7235 ("From" . (("From") nil nil))))
7240 Note: To set the behavior when you reply to the message written by yourself,
7241 use @code{wl-draft-reply-myself-without-argument-list} and
7242 @code{wl-draft-reply-myself-with-argument-list} instead of them.
