197 @node Start Me Up, Folders, Introduction, Top
198 @chapter Start up Wanderlust
201 The necessary procedure for starting Wanderlust is explained in steps
204 (Of course, you need a mail/news readable environment in advance)
207 * MIME Modules:: Installing the MIME modules
208 * Download:: Download and extract the packages
209 * Install:: Byte-compile and install
210 * Minimal Settings:: @file{.emacs} setup
211 * Folder Definition:: Folder definition
212 * Start Wanderlust:: Starting Wanderlust
216 @node MIME Modules, Download, Start Me Up, Start Me Up
217 @section Installing MIME modules
223 SEMI must be installed to make Wanderlust work correctly.
225 SEMI can be downloaded from these sites:
229 SEMI: ftp://ftp.m17n.org/pub/mule/semi/
233 You need packages named APEL and FLIM to use SEMI.
234 You can download APEL and FLIM from following URLs:
238 APEL: ftp://ftp.m17n.org/pub/mule/apel/
239 FLIM: ftp://ftp.m17n.org/pub/mule/flim/
243 You have to install APEL, FLIM and SEMI in this order. Generally,
244 @samp{make install} will do the job. (In XEmacs 21, @samp{make
247 Refer to the documents of each package for detailed installation
248 procedure @footnote{If you want to use SEMI on Emacs 19.34. @*
249 @uref{http://www.jpl.org/elips/INSTALL-SEMI-ja.html} (In Japanese)
253 Recommended combination of APEL, FLIM and SEMI are following:
256 @item APEL 10.3, FLIM 1.14.3 and SEMI 1.14.3
259 You can also use many other FLIM/SEMI variants. Combination of the
260 latest versions should work. For example, the following combination are
264 @item APEL 10.2, Chao 1.14.1, REMI 1.14.2
265 @item APEL 10.2, SLIM 1.14.3, EMY 1.13.9
268 You have to re-install Wanderlust if you upgraded APEL, FLIM or SEMI.
271 @node Download, Install, MIME Modules, Start Me Up
272 @section Download and Extract the Package
275 You can download Wanderlust package from following sites:
279 ftp://ftp.gohome.org/wl/
282 Mirrored ftp/http sites:
286 ftp://ftp.jaist.ac.jp/pub/GNU/elisp/ftp.gohome.org/wl/
287 http://www.jpl.org/elips/wl/
288 http://www.ring.gr.jp/archives/text/elisp/wl/
289 ftp://ftp.ring.gr.jp/pub/text/elisp/wl/
290 ftp://opaopa.org/pub/mirror/elisp/wl/
291 @c ftp://roguelife.org/pub/tsumura/wl/
295 Extract the obtained package to your working directory:
300 % tar zxvf wl-@var{version}.tar.gz
301 % cd wl-@var{version}
305 @subsection To use SSL (Secure Socket Layer)
310 SSL (Secure Socket Layer) can be used for
311 SMTP, IMAP, NNTP and POP connections in Wanderlust.
313 There are two ways to use SSL. One is to start SSL negotiation just
314 after the connection establishment (generic way). The other one is to
315 start SSL negotiation by invoking STARTTLS command in the each session.
317 To use the formal SSL (generic SSL), you must set @env{PATH} to the
318 directory 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_toc.html
466 @node Minimal Settings, Folder Definition, 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}
492 (require 'mime-setup)
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-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{(This is not required if the default value has been set 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 @samp{(require 'mime-setup)} and autoload
520 configuration can be written in
523 @subsection @code{mail-user-agent}
524 @cindex Default Mailer
525 @cindex Mailer, Default
526 @vindex mail-user-agent
529 If you write following setting in you @file{.emacs}, you can
530 start Wanderlust draft mode by typing @kbd{C-x m} (@code{compose-mail}).
531 This means it enables you to run Wanderlust as a default mail composer
534 It is effective only when your Emacs can define @code{mail-user-agent}.
535 @xref{Mail Methods, , ,emacs-ja, The Emacs Editor}.
539 (autoload 'wl-user-agent-compose "wl-draft" nil t)
540 (if (boundp 'mail-user-agent)
541 (setq mail-user-agent 'wl-user-agent))
542 (if (fboundp 'define-mail-user-agent)
543 (define-mail-user-agent
545 'wl-user-agent-compose
554 @node Folder Definition, Start Wanderlust, Minimal Settings, Start Me Up
555 @section Folder Definition
556 @cindex Folder Definition
559 You can skip this section because it is possible to add/edit the
560 subscribe folders from the buffer for list of folders.
561 @xref{Folder Manager}.
563 Define the folders you want to subscribe in file @file{~/.folders}. The
564 contents written in @file{~/.folders} become the folders which you
565 subscribe to as it is.
567 Format for @file{~/.folders} is very simple. Here is an example:
572 # @r{Lines begin with @samp{#} are comment.}
573 # @r{Empty lines are ignored}
575 # @var{folder name} "@var{folder nickname}"
576 # @r{(nicknames are not necessary)}
581 %#mh/Backup@@my.imap.example.com "Sent"
584 %#mh/spool/wl "Wanderlust ML"
585 %#mh/spool/elips "ELIPS ML"
586 %#mh/spool/apel-ja "APEL Japanese ML"
587 %#mh/spool/xemacs-beta "XEmacs beta"
588 -fj.news.reader.gnus@@other.nntp.example.com "Gnus Net news"
589 *-fj.editor.xemacs,-fj.editor.mule,-fj.editor.emacs "fj's Emacsen"
592 # @r{If folder name ends with @samp{/}, that means an `access group',}
593 # @r{all subfolders automatically included in one folder group.}
595 %#mh/expire@@localhost /
596 # @r{All MH folders are included in one folder group.}
601 Each line contains one folder you want to read. The definition of
602 folders will be explained in detail in the next section.
604 The part surrounded by @samp{@var{group name}@{} and @samp{@}} will
605 become one folder group. One folder group is treated as a directory
606 which can be opened and closed in folder mode. It is convenient for
607 collecting some folders and putting them in order.
609 Please note that @samp{@var{group name}@{} and @samp{@}} occupies one
610 line and you have to write it that way (It is because the parser sucks).
612 There are two types of groups. One is like @samp{Emacsen} from above
613 example which the user chooses his favorite folders as a group.
615 The other one is @dfn{access group} like @samp{+ /} from above example.
616 It makes all the sub-folders in a folder to a group. (It differs from
617 the type of the folder. For example, @samp{+} followed by @samp{/}
618 makes entire MH sub-directories to one group)
620 This behavior is better understood if you try it and confirmed the
621 function first. You can write and try a small folder definition, so you
622 will know the idea of the folder function before writing the real one.

628 If installation and configuration worked well, you can invoke Wanderlust by
629 typing following command in Emacs.
636 After initialization, Folder Mode which shows the list of folders will appear.
637 That means the folders you defined in the @file{~/.folders} are listed
638 If you start Wanderlust with prefix argument like @kbd{C-u M-x wl}, you
639 can skip folder checking.
641 Basically, you will handle messages in wanderlust while you come and go
642 from/to each of the following buffers.
646 You can see the list of folders. You can select some folder and go into the summary
647 of it. You can subscribe new folder or edit subscription list.
649 You can see the list of messages in the folder. You can select message and view its
650 contents, and reply to some message. You can delete ones or move ones to another
653 You can see the contents of the message. You can save part to disk or open in external
656 You can edit message.
659 Details of each ones are explained later.

663 @chapter Wanderlust's folders
666 This chapter describes the folder types which Wanderlust is able to handle.
668 Wanderlust uses ELMO as it's interface, so every folder types supported
669 by ELMO is usable in Wanderlust.
671 As of version @value{VERSION}, 11 types of folders are predefined. These are
672 IMAP, NNTP, LocalDir(MH), Maildir, News Spool, Archive, POP, Multi, Filter,
673 Pipe and Internal folder types.
676 * IMAP Folder:: @samp{%} -- IMAP folder
677 * NNTP Folder:: @samp{-} -- NNTP folder
678 * MH Folder:: @samp{+} -- MH folder
679 * Maildir Folder:: @samp{.} -- Maildir folder
680 * News Spool Folder:: @samp{=} -- News spool folder
681 * Archive Folder:: @samp{$} -- Archive folder
682 * POP Folder:: @samp{&} -- POP folder
683 * Shimbun Folder:: @samp{@@} -- Shimbun Folder
684 * Namazu Folder:: @samp{[} -- Namazu Folder
685 * Multi Folder:: @samp{*} -- Multi folder
686 * Filter Folder:: @samp{/} -- Filter folder
687 * Pipe Folder:: @samp{|} -- Pipe folder
688 * Internal Folder:: @samp{'} -- Internal folder
692 @node IMAP Folder, NNTP Folder, Folders, Folders
700 A folder to access e-mails via IMAP4rev1 protocol (RFC 2060).
706 @samp{%} @var{mailbox} [@samp{:} @var{username} [@samp{/} @var{authenticate-type}]][@samp{@@} @var{hostname}][@samp{:} @var{port}][@samp{!}]
710 You can specify @code{login} (encoded password transmission),
711 @code{cram-md5} (CRAM-MD5 authentication), @code{digest-md5} (DIGEST-MD5
712 authentication) or @code{clear} (or @code{nil}, plain password
713 transmission) as @var{authenticate-type}.
718 @var{username} -> The value of @code{elmo-imap4-default-user}.
719 Initial setting is @env{USER} environment variable or
720 @env{LOGNAME} environment variable or return value of
721 @code{(user-login-name)}.
722 @var{authenticate-type} -> The value of @code{elmo-imap4-default-authenticate-type}.
723 Initial setting is "auth".
724 @var{hostname} -> The value of @code{elmo-imap4-default-server}.
725 Initial setting is "localhost".
726 @var{port} -> The value of @code{elmo-imap4-default-port}.
727 Initial setting is 143.
730 You can omit the @var{hostname} from folder names if you set
731 @code{elmo-imap4-default-server} as your main IMAP server.
732 For example, you can specify a folder as @samp{foo%imap@@gateway} even
733 if you have to go through a firewall.
737 ;; @r{Example: imap4.exaple.org as main IMAP server}
738 (setq elmo-imap4-default-server "imap4.example.org")
742 SSL (Secure Socket Layer) connection will be used if a folder name ends
743 with @samp{!}. Or, if the value of @code{elmo-imap4-default-stream-type}
744 is @code{ssl}, SSL will be the default connection. If a folder name
745 ends with @samp{!!}, STARTTLS connection will be established. If the
746 value of @code{elmo-imap4-default-stream-type} is @code{starttls},
747 STARTTLS will be the default connection.
751 ;; @r{Example: Use SSL connection}
752 (setq elmo-imap4-default-stream-type 'ssl)
756 If you specify @code{login}, @code{cram-md5} or @code{digest-md5} as
757 authentication method, the password is sent in encoded form. But, if
758 your server is unable to receive an encoded password, authentication
759 will fall back to @code{clear} (that is, sending password in raw format)
760 after confirmation to user. If @code{elmo-imap4-force-login} is non-nil,
761 authentication will fall back to @code{clear} without confirmation
762 (default value is @code{nil}).
766 ;; @r{Example: password in raw format}
767 (setq elmo-imap4-default-authenticate-type 'clear)

780 -> server1's IMAP mailbox "inbox"
781 of user "hoge", with plain password authentication
786 @subsection International mailbox names (Modified UTF7)
787 @cindex Modified UTF7
794 You can use international mailbox names in @var{mailbox} part, if you
795 are using Emacs which can treat unicode and
796 @code{elmo-imap4-use-modified-utf7} is set to non-nil value (default
797 value is @code{nil}).
799 Currently, following Emacsen can treat unicode.

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

886 @node MH Folder, Maildir Folder, NNTP Folder, Folders
893 A folder to access MH format mail (1 file is 1 mail).
898 @samp{+} @var{directory-name}
901 Normally, @var{directory-name} is an relative path to the variable
902 @code{elmo-localdir-folder-path} (default is @file{~/Mail}), but if it
903 starts with @samp{/} or @samp{~}, then it is treated as an absolute path
904 (this is also true for drive-letters).
906 Message number is used for the name of the message file.
912 +inbox -> @file{~/Mail/inbox}
913 +from/teranisi -> @file{~/Mail/from/teranisi}
914 +~/test -> @file{~/test}
919 @node Maildir Folder, News Spool Folder, MH Folder, Folders
920 @section Maildir Folder
922 @cindex Maildir Folder
926 A folder to access Maildir format (1 file is 1 mail).
931 @samp{.} [@var{directory-name}]
934 Normally, @var{directory-name} is a relative path to the variable
935 @code{elmo-maildir-folder-path} (default is @file{~/Maildir}), but if it
936 starts with @samp{/} or @samp{~}, then it is treated as an absolute path
937 (this is also true for drive-letters).
939 Maildir contains @file{cur}, @file{new} and @file{tmp} subdirectories.
940 Messages are contained in the @file{cur} directory. All message files
941 in the @file{new} directory are moved to @file{cur} directory when you
942 access the folder. All message files contained in the @file{tmp}
943 directory and not accessed for 36 hours are deleted.
945 This behavior conforms to the @uref{http://cr.yp.to/proto/maildir.html}.

960 @section News Spool Folder
962 @cindex News spool Folder
965 This folder handles locally saved news articles which are proposed by
966 Mew/IM. You can also read articles directly from a spool-file which is
967 retrieved by an utility like @command{gnspool}.
972 @samp{=} @var{directory-name}
975 @var{directory-name} is a sub-directory to the directory defined by
976 variable @code{elmo-localnews-folder-path} (default is @file{~/News})
977 You can use @samp{.} as directory delimiter as well as @samp{/}.

989 @node Archive Folder, POP Folder, News Spool Folder, Folders
990 @section Archive Folder
992 @cindex Archive Folder
995 This method can handle archive files, which are compressed by utilities
996 such as Info-ZIP or LHA, as one folder.
1002 @samp{$} @var{path-name} [@samp{;} @var{archiver-type} @samp{;} @var{prefix}]
1006 @var{path-name} is the relative path from
1007 @code{elmo-archive-folder-path} (initial setting is @file{~/Mail}). If
1008 @var{path-name} begins with @samp{/} or @samp{~} or `drive-letter of
1009 DOS', @var{path-name} is treated as absolute path. ange-ftp format is
1010 also permitted under the environment of ange-ftp, efs.
1012 The actual file name of the archive folder is
1013 @code{elmo-archive-basename} (Initial setting is @file{elmo-archive})
1014 under the @var{path-name}. If a file named @var{path-name} exists, it is
1015 treated as folder. The suffix is automatically decided for
1016 @var{archiver-type}.
1018 If @var{archiver-type} is omitted, @code{elmo-archive-default-type}
1019 (Initial setting is @code{zip}) is referred.
1021 @var{prefix} specifies the internal directory structure of the archive.
1022 For example, if the ML server is fml, @file{msend.tar.gz} has a
1023 structure like @file{spool/1}, so you have to specify @samp{spool} as
1030 $teranisi -> @file{~/Mail/teranisi/elmo-archive.zip}
1031 $bsd/freebsd;lha -> @file{~/Mail/bsd/freebsd/elmo-archive.lzh}
1032 $/foo@@server:~/bar;zoo -> @file{~/bar/elmo-archive.zoo} on ftp server
1033 $d:/msend.tar.gz;tgz;spool -> @file{d:/msend.tar.gz}
1034 $ml;zip/ -> Access group consists of archive folders
1035 under @file{~/Mail/ml}

1057 By default, following archives are supported.
1061 LHA, Info-ZIP/UNZIP, ZOO, RAR ;; full-access
1062 GNU TAR('tgz, 'tar) ;; read-only
1066 If your archiver can include multiple files in one archive, you have a
1067 possibility use it as an archiver of Wanderlust (ARJ/UNARJ, ARC is one
1068 of the candidate. TAR is supported read-only because it cannot delete
1069 file in the archive (@code{mv})).
1071 @command{gzip}, @command{bzip}, @command{bzip2} cannot be used as an
1072 archiver of Wanderlust because they cannot include multiple
1073 files. Archivers that cannot extract files to standard output are also

1112 * Caution about GNU tar
1114 You have to take care about GNU tar's version because many version has
1115 problem on deleting file from archive.
1117 Please test @option{--delete} @option{-f} options work. Otherwise, your
1118 archive will be destroyed. No problem is reported on above versions of
1122 @node Archive Tips, Archive Vars, Archiver, Archive Folder
1124 @cindex Archive Tips
1126 For comfortable migration, usage of @code{wl-summary-archive}
1127 (@pxref{Archive}) or Expire (@pxref{Expire}) is recommended. To treat
1128 archive folders created by expiration, you must set non-nil value to
1129 @code{elmo-archive-treat-file}.
1131 On the OS/2, there is a great difference between Mule2.3(19.28) and Emacs20.2
1132 in processing speed. For comfortable use, Emacs20 is recommended.
1133 (If re-search's performance is the problem, 19.3x or later may be okay.)
1135 If many files are included in one archive,
1136 it takes long time to access the archive folder because
1137 archiver starting overhead is increased (especially LHA).
1138 150-200 messages in one archive is recommended.

1208 @vindex elmo-archive-cmdstr-max-length
1209 The initial setting is 8000.
1211 Max length of command line argument for external archiver program.
1212 Emacs does not have a limit of command line byte length, but some OS
1213 (e.x OS/2) have. It depends on the OS. Archive folder is affected by
1214 this limit because it calls external archiver program directly (not
1215 called via shell). For example, you cannot delete messages if archiver
1216 program must receive larger bytes of arguments to delete. OS/2 have a
1217 command line argument limit of 8190 bytes, so we defined default as 8000
1220 However, you don't have an influence of command line argument limit
1221 if the archiver has `actions' to receive target file information from
1222 standard input (@code{rm-pipe}, @code{mv-pipe}, @code{cat-headers} action).

1613 @samp{|} @var{source-folder} @samp{|} @var{destination-folder}
1616 When you access the pipe folder, messages are automatically transferred
1617 from @var{source-folder} to @var{destination-folder}.
1618 It is convenient if you want to download messages to local disk via POP.
1619 For example, if you specify following
1622 |&username@@popserver|+inbox
1626 and access it, messages are downloaded automatically from
1627 @samp{&username@@popserver} to @samp{+inbox}.
1629 On the other hand, if you put @samp{|:} instead of second @samp{|},
1630 then messages are copied to the destination folder (not deleted from
1631 source-folder). At the next time you access that folder, only new
1632 messages will be copied.
1635 @samp{|} @var{source-folder} @samp{|:} @var{destination-folder}
1638 If you want to copy messages from POP server and view them, specify the
1642 |&username@@popserver|:+inbox
1645 where messages will be kept on the server.
1651 |%inbox|%myinbox -> Download %inbox to %myinbox.
1652 |*&user@@popserver1,&user@@popserver2|+inbox
1653 -> Download from &user@@popserver1 and &user@@popserver2 to +inbox.
1654 |-gnu.emacs.sources|:+sources
1655 -> Copy messages from -gnu.emacs.sources to +sources.
1659 After messages are moved, a hook @code{elmo-pipe-drained-hook} is called.

1669 A folder to access internal messages of Wanderlust.
1681 A folder named @samp{'mark} is a special virtual folder which collects
1682 messages which have important mark @samp{$}.
1684 You can review important messages at once after you put important marks
1685 on the messages in the different folders.
1687 In this folder, if you delete message, important mark @samp{$} put on
1688 the message is removed. If you append messages to this folder, the
1689 message will have @samp{$} mark.
1691 (Can't remove important mark @samp{$} on IMAP server from @samp{'mark}
1692 folder. If you want IMAP folder's message remove from @samp{'mark}
1693 folder, remove important mark at IMAP Folder.)
1696 A folder named @samp{'sendlog} is a virtual folder which collects
1697 cached messages which are recoded on @file{~/.elmo/sendlog}.
1698 It might be useful when you forgot to add cc for yourself.
1699 To use this, you should set @code{wl-draft-use-cache} to non-nil
1700 so that sent messages are cached.
1703 You can access cached messages fetched via network by accessing
1704 folders named @samp{'cache/00} - @samp{'cache/1F}. 00 - 1F are
1705 the name of the subdirectories of the cache directory

2126 @cindex Folder, Unsubscribe
2128 As described before, subscribed folder list is saved in @file{~/.folders} file.
2129 But you don't have to edit @file{~/.folders} directly.
2130 You can append, delete, edit folders from folder mode.
2132 @subsection Usage (Tips)
2134 @subsubsection Append Folder
2136 @kbd{m a} appends new folder to the folder mode.
2137 @kbd{m g} appends new folder group.
2138 To append new folder to this group, firstly open it,
2139 then execute append command in the next line.
2141 @subsubsection Edit Folder
2143 You can cut folder by @kbd{C-k}, paste by @kbd{C-y}.
2144 Thus, you can change folder position as if you were editing a normal file.
2146 @subsubsection Create Multi Folder.
2150 Type @kbd{m q} to clear @code{wl-fldmgr-cut-entity-list}.
2152 Cut folder by @kbd{C-k} or copy folder by @kbd{M-c}.
2154 Type @kbd{m m}, then you can create multi folder.
2157 @subsubsection Delete Nickname, Filter
2159 You can delete nickname or filter by putting ``''(@var{NULL}) from the
2160 minibuffer while appending.
2162 @subsubsection Append Folder to Empty Group
2164 To append new folder to the empty folder group
2165 (after you create folder group by typing @kbd{m g}),
2166 firstly open it, then execute append command in the next line.
2167 If it is closed, folder is appended on the same level with
2168 the above folder group. It is difficult to explain by words so try it.
2169 In other words, appended position depends on the
2170 above folder group's open/close status.
2172 @subsubsection Charset of the Folders File.
2174 @code{wl-mime-charset} is used for saving @code{wl-folders-file}.
2176 @subsubsection Create Filter
2178 @kbd{m f} adds filter to the folder at the current cursor point. To
2179 create new filter folder and leave the current folder unchanged, copy it
2180 @kbd{M-c}, make filter @kbd{m f} and paste it @kbd{C-y}. Multiple
2181 filter can be specified while appending filter. If you put
2182 ``''(@var{NULL}), filter is deleted.
2184 @subsubsection Sort Folders
2186 Sorting of the folders is executed by the function specified by
2187 @code{wl-fldmgr-sort-function}.
2188 The initial setting is @code{wl-fldmgr-sort-standard},
2189 which sorts alphabetically.
2190 Sorting affects only on the current folder group. It does not
2191 affect on the child groups.
2193 @subsubsection Hiding Folders in the Access Group
2195 Usually, access group displays all children folders, but you can set
2196 some folders hidden. Following operations are only available on access
2199 Command @code{wl-fldmgr-unsubscribe} (@kbd{u}) toggles the visibility
2200 (subscribe/unsubscribe) of the folder at current cursor point. Against
2201 this, @code{wl-fldmgr-unsubscribe-region} (@kbd{U}) hides folders in the
2204 Note that @code{wl-fldmgr-unsubscribe-region} does not toggle while
2205 @code{wl-fldmgr-unsubscribe} toggles. These two commands accept prefix
2206 argument and if the argument has positive number, the unsubscribe it.
2207 If the prefix argument has negative value, folder becomes visible and if
2208 zero, folder visibility is toggled.
2210 The other commands, @code{wl-fldmgr-subscribe} and
2211 @code{wl-fldmgr-subscribe-region} are also prepared (not binded to the
2214 Moreover, if @code{wl-fldmgr-cut} or @code{wl-fldmgr-cut-region} is
2215 executed in the access group, they have a same effect with
2216 @code{wl-fldmgr-unsubscribe} and @code{wl-fldmgr-unsubscribe-region}.
2217 The difference is that cut commands deletes folders from the current
2220 @subsubsection Operations in the Access Group
2222 You can insert and delete folders in the access group like usual folder
2223 group. But insert and delete commands can be only available for the
2224 children folders of the access group and they only sets the subscribe
2225 status. In other words, insertion of the folder means subscribing,
2226 deletion means unsubscribing.
2227 @footnote{In the current implementation,
2228 it is faster to delete region than to unsubscribe region.}
2230 To update the access group when children folders are inserted or deleted
2231 by other way (other than Wanderlust),
2232 open the access group by typing @kbd{C-u @key{RET}}.
2233 @xref{Selecting Folder}.
2235 The order of children folders of access group is saved after
2236 insertion/deletion/sorting.
2237 If you set @code{wl-force-fetch-folders} to non-nil or open access group
2238 by typing @kbd{C-u @key{RET}}, disappeared folders are deleted and
2239 newly created folders are inserted on the top of the access group.

2513 In the summary mode, messages are displayed like following.
2517 377 09/16(Wed)11:57 [+1: Takuro Kitame ] Bug?
2518 381 09/17(Thu)00:16 [+3: Fujikazu Okuni ] elmo-lha.el -- LHA interface

2520 389 N09/18(Fri)01:07 [+2: Yuuichi Terani ] wl-0.6.3
2527 @var{Message number}, @var{Temporal mark}, @var{Persistent mark}, @var{Date}, @var{Sender}, @var{Subject}
2531 You cannot change this in the current version.
2533 @var{Message number} is the message's unique number in the folder. In
2534 the NNTP folder, it is article number, in the IMAP folder, it is UID and
2535 in the MH folder, it is the filename of the message.
2537 @var{Temporal mark} and @var{Persistent mark} are described later.
2539 @var{Date} is displayed like @samp{@var{Month}/@var{Day}(@var{Week
2540 Day})@var{Hour}:@var{Minute}}. Default setting displays week day in
2541 Japanese, but if you want to display it in English, set the value of
2542 @code{wl-summary-weekday-name-lang} as @samp{en}.
2544 @var{Sender}'s indentation corresponds to the depth of the thread.
2545 Sender name is displayed as nickname if it is defined in the address
2546 book. Set @code{wl-use-petname} as @code{nil}, if you want to quit
2547 displaying with nickname.
2549 If number is printed at the head of @var{Sender} part like @samp{+2},
2550 that means the message have 2 follow messages.
2552 @var{Subject} is the @samp{Subject:} header field of the message. If
2553 the message have same @samp{Subject:} with the parent message, it is not
2554 displayed. Some mailing list puts its sequence number in the
2555 @samp{Subject:} field, but it is
2556 ignored. @code{wl-summary-no-subject-message} is displayed when the
2557 message has empty subject field.
2559 @subsection Temporary Marks
2560 @cindex Mark, Temporary
2562 There are four temporary marks,
2563 @samp{*}, @samp{D}, @samp{o} and @samp{O}.
2564 Temporary marks indicates message operations.
2569 You can execute a command on the all messages that have @samp{*} mark,
2570 with the key bindings which begins with @kbd{m}.
2573 The mark to delete. You can put @samp{D} by typing @kbd{d} key.
2577 After you type @kbd{o} key, prompt appears to input refile destination.
2578 Your answer is printed in the summary line.
2582 You can put this mark by typing @kbd{O} key.
2583 The difference between this mark and refile mark is,
2584 this mark does not delete the message while latter does.
2587 @kbd{x} key executes @samp{D}, @samp{o} and @samp{O} marks.
2589 @subsection Persistent Marks
2591 There are five persistent marks,
2592 @samp{N}, @samp{U}, @samp{!}, @samp{u} and @samp{$}.
2594 The persistent mark indicates the message's status and it is saved.
2595 Each persistent mark indicates:
2601 It is unread message.
2603 It is unread but cached message.
2605 It is read but it is not cached.
2607 It is important message. You can put @samp{$} mark by typing @kbd{$}
2608 key (if already exists, the mark is deleted). It is convenient to put
2609 this mark on the messages to remember (If you want to remember to write
2610 a reply for the message, for example) because this mark remains after
2611 you exited Emacs. Messages with the @samp{$} mark can be reviewed in the
2612 @samp{'mark} folder even the message itself is deleted in the actual folder.
2615 If the message is read and cached (or local message),there are no
2619 @samp{N}, @samp{U} and @samp{u} indicates that the message have no
2620 cache. Messages with the marks other than these, you can read them in
2621 the offline status even they are in the IMAP folder or netnews folder.
2623 Among messages with persistent marks, ones with marks specified by
2624 @code{wl-summary-expire-reserve-marks} are excluded from the expiration
2625 (as a function of wanderlust) explained later. @xref{Expire and Archive}.
2627 @subsection How To Read
2629 Basically, you can read messages only typing space key again and again.
2631 To update summary status to the newest status (synchronize),
2634 You can jump to next unread message by typing @kbd{N} key, and @kbd{n} key
2635 moves cursor to the next message.
2636 Enter message buffer by typing @kbd{j} key.
2637 To operate multipart, you have to enter to the message buffer.
2640 @subsection Pack the Message Numbers
2641 You can pack the message numbers in Summary by
2642 @kbd{M-x wl-summary-pack-number}. Note that only MH Folder,
2643 News Spool Folder and Maildir Folder are supported folder types.
2646 @node Thread Operations, Cache, Usage of Summary Mode, Summary
2647 @section Thread Operations
2649 For example, the following line indicates one thread (a context of a topic).
2652 384 09/17(Thu)01:32 [+1: Teranishi ] wl-0.6.2
2656 If you type @kbd{/} on this line, the thread is opened and it changes
2657 the appearance like following.
2661 384 09/17(Thu)01:32 [ Teranishi ] wl-0.6.2
2662 388 09/17(Thu)22:34 +-[ Murata san ]
2666 (Message 388 is the replied message to the message 384.)
2667 If you type @kbd{/} key once again, the thread is closed.
2668 With prefix argument, @kbd{/} opens all children threads.
2670 If you type @kbd{[}, opens all threads in summary. @kbd{]} closes all
2673 Commands with the key binding that begins with @kbd{t} executes commands
2674 on the messages in the thread.
2675 @xref{Key Bindings of Summary}.
2677 @subsection reconstruct thread by hand
2679 You can reconstruct the thread manually. In Summary, @kbd{M-w}
2680 (@code{wl-summary-save-current-message}) at the corresponding message,
2681 and @kbd{C-y} (@code{wl-summary-yank-saved-message}) at the new parent
2682 message then you have the reconstructed thread.
2685 @node Cache, Auto Refile, Thread Operations, Summary
2688 @subsection Cache File
2690 The messages which have to access via network (e.x. IMAP, NNTP folder)
2691 are cached as a local file. The cache file is saved under the directory
2692 @file{~/.elmo/cache}. To expire cache, type @kbd{M-x
2693 elmo-cache-expire-by-size}. The command deletes cache files to the
2694 specified size by the order of last accessed time.
2696 @subsection Buffer Cache and Prefetching
2698 The messages that are read are kept in the cache buffer. It is called
2699 `buffer cache'. The number of cache buffer is specified by
2700 @code{wl-message-buffer-cache-size}.
2702 There are message prefetching mechanism in the Wanderlust that
2703 prefetches next message while you are reading.
2705 You can control the message prefetching mechanism by these two
2709 @item wl-message-buffer-prefetch-folder-type-list
2710 @vindex wl-message-buffer-prefetch-folder-type-list
2711 The initial setting is @code{t}. In this case, prefetch messages in all
2713 If it is a list of folder types, it specifies the folder types in which
2714 message prefetching is enabled.
2715 Following is an example (prefetch messages in nntp and imap4 folders)
2719 (setq wl-message-buffer-prefetch-folder-type-list
2724 In this case, multi folder that contains localdir and imap4 prefetches
2725 only imap4 messages. This variable precedes the value of
2726 @code{wl-message-buffer-prefetch-folder-list}.
2728 @item wl-message-buffer-prefetch-folder-list
2729 @vindex wl-message-buffer-prefetch-folder-list
2730 The initial setting is @code{nil}.
2731 A list of regexp of folders to enable message prefetching.
2733 @item wl-message-buffer-prefetch-depth
2734 @vindex wl-message-buffer-prefetch-depth
2735 The initial setting is 3. The number of messages for automatical prefetch.
2737 @item wl-message-buffer-prefetch-idle-time
2738 @vindex wl-message-buffer-prefetch-idle-time
2739 The initial setting is 0.2 (in seconds). The period of automatical prefetch.
2741 @item wl-message-buffer-prefetch-threshold
2742 @vindex wl-message-buffer-prefetch-threshold
2743 The initial setting is 30000 (bytes). If prefetching message has larger
2744 size than this value, Wanderlust does not prefetch automatically.
2745 If @code{wl-message-buffer-prefetch-threshold} is @code{nil},
2746 the message is not checked for the size.
2748 @item wl-auto-prefetch-first
2749 @vindex wl-auto-prefetch-first
2750 The initial setting is @code{nil}.
2751 If non-nil, first message is automatically prefetched to the buffer
2752 when you enter the folder.
2756 @node Auto Refile, Sticky Summary, Cache, Summary
2757 @section Auto Refile
2758 @vindex elmo-msgdb-extra-fields
2759 @vindex wl-refile-rule-alist
2760 @findex wl-summary-auto-refile
2762 You can refile messages automatically, by typing @kbd{C-o}
2763 (@code{wl-summary-auto-refile}). It decides destination of refile by
2764 the content of the message header information (information in the msgdb).
2766 By default, @samp{From:}, @samp{Subject:}, @samp{To:} and @samp{Cc:} is
2767 available. If you want to decide destination by other header fields,
2768 set the variable @code{elmo-msgdb-extra-fields} like following.
2772 (setq elmo-msgdb-extra-fields
2782 By this setting, Wanderlust saves extra fields in the msgdb. You have
2783 to type @kbd{s all} to get extra fields for the messages that are
2784 already exists in the summary.
2786 Then, specify the refile rule. The refile target folder of auto
2787 refiling is decided by the value of @code{wl-refile-rule-alist}.
2788 @code{wl-refile-rule-alist} is a list of a rule:
2792 (@var{field} (@var{regexp} . @var{target})
2793 (@var{regexp} . @var{target})
2798 Each rule means `if @var{field} value matches @var{regexp},
2799 then refile to @var{target} folder'.
2800 The rule matched first is applied.
2802 @var{field} is a string of field name. You can specify a list of field name
2803 string, too. In this case, if one of these fields is matched, then the
2804 rule is fired (i.e. OR condition).
2806 @var{regexp} is a regular expression for field value. @var{target} is a target
2807 folder string. You can specify a rule at @var{target} part, too. In this
2808 case, If the field value of the rule and the current rule is matched,
2809 then the current rule is fired (i.e. AND condition).
2811 In @var{target} part, you can refer matched substring of @var{regexp}.
2812 To refer substring, specify following in @var{target}:
2816 means substitute original matched text.
2819 means substitute what matched the @var{N}th `\(@dots{}\)'.
2820 (@var{N} is a number.)
2823 Following is an example of @code{wl-refile-rule-alist}.
2827 (setq wl-refile-rule-alist
2829 ("^Wanderlust" . "+wl")
2830 ("^Elisp" . "+elisp"))
2832 ("\\([a-z]+\\)@@gohome\\.org" . "+\\1"))
2834 ("me@@gohome\\.org" . ("To" ("you@@gohome\\.org" .
2835 "+from-me-to-you"))))))
2839 After these settings, refile marks are automatically put on the condition
2840 matched messages by typing @kbd{C-o} (@code{wl-summary-auto-refile}).
2842 Messages which have @code{wl-summary-auto-refile-skip-marks} is skipped
2844 By default, @samp{N}, @samp{U} and @samp{!} is specified, so the messages
2845 with these persistent marks are not automatically refiled.
2846 It means Wanderlust does not execute auto refile on unread messages by
2847 the default setting.
2848 To execute auto refile on all messages, set following.
2851 (setq wl-summary-auto-refile-skip-marks nil)
2855 @node Sticky Summary, Key Bindings of Summary, Auto Refile, Summary
2856 @section Sticky Summary
2857 @cindex Summary, Sticky
2858 @cindex Sticky Summary
2860 The buffer of the `sticky summary' does not killed by typing @kbd{q}.
2862 By entering the summary by typing @kbd{Shift RET} in Folder mode or
2863 @kbd{G} in some suummary sticky summary buffer is created.
2864 Also typing @kbd{M-s} (@code{wl-summary-stick}) on the normal summary
2865 makes current one sticky.
2867 The buffer name of the sticky summary becomes like
2868 @samp{Summary:@var{folder-name}}.
2869 You can visit the sticky summary at any time by @kbd{C-x b}
2870 (@code{switch-to-buffer}), or you can go round summary buffers by
2871 @kbd{C-c C-n} (@code{wl-summary-previous-buffer}) and @kbd{C-c C-p}
2872 (@code{wl-summary-next-buffer}) in summary mode.
2874 In sticky summary, the summary buffer is preserved after @kbd{g} or
2875 @kbd{q}. To delete sticky summary, type @kbd{C-u q} to exit or move to
2876 another summary by @kbd{C-u g}. Other operations in the sticky summary
2877 are same as normal summary.
2879 @code{wl-summary-always-sticky-folder-list} specifies the folders that

4004 @chapter Draft Buffer
4006 At Summary mode, pressing @kbd{w} and the like creates a new draft
4007 buffer. You can edit and send mail and news articles in this buffer.
4009 By pressing @kbd{W}, Wanderlust guess addressees and prepare draft buffer
4010 with those if possible.
4014 Basically it is Emacs-standard mail mode.
4016 @subsection Address Completion
4018 Initially, the cursor is at the @samp{To:} field. Fill in recipients
4019 addresses. @kbd{@key{TAB}} completes them.
4021 If you want to submit a news article, add @samp{Newsgroups:} field by
4022 yourself. Field names can be completed by @kbd{@key{TAB}}.
4024 If you save the draft buffer you are editing, it is appended to the
4025 folder specified by @code{wl-draft-folder}.
4027 Using @samp{FCC:} field, you can specify the folder to which a copy of
4028 the message is saved when it is sent.

4037 @subsection Dynamic Modification of Messages
4038 @vindex wl-draft-config-alist
4039 @c @cindex Change Message
4040 @c @cindex Message, Change Dynamic
4042 You can set @code{wl-draft-config-alist} so that header and body of the
4043 message will automatically modified depending on information of header
4046 The initial setting of @code{wl-draft-config-alist} is @code{nil}.
4048 In the example below, the header is modified when
4049 @code{wl-draft-send-and-exit} or @code{wl-draft-send} is invoked. You
4050 can set @code{wl-interactive-send} to non-nil so as to confirm changes
4051 before sending the message.
4055 (setq wl-draft-config-alist
4056 '(((string-match "aaa\\.example\\.com$" (system-name))
4057 ;; @r{applied if the expression is non-nil}
4058 (wl-smtp-posting-server . "mailserver-B")
4059 (wl-nntp-posting-server . "newsserver-B")
4060 ;; @r{settings of temporary variables}
4062 ("^To: .*user@@aaa\\.bbb\\.example\\.com"
4063 ;; @r{applied if it matches the header of the draft buffer}
4064 ("Organization" . (format "Go %s" my-webpage)))
4065 ;; @r{you can write elisp expressions here (eval only)}
4066 (top . "Hello.\n") ;; @r{inserted at the top of the body}
4067 (bottom . "\nBye.\n") ;; @r{inserted at the bottom of the body}
4072 The format of @code{wl-draft-config-alist} is:
4076 '(("@var{regexp of the header}" or @var{elisp expression}
4077 ("@var{Field}" . value(@var{elisp expression}))
4078 (@var{variable} . value(@var{elisp expression}))
4079 (@var{sub-function} . value(@var{elisp expression}))
4082 ("@var{regexp of the header}" or @var{elisp expression}
4083 ("@var{Field}" . value(@var{elisp expression}))
4088 Per default, there are 10 following sub-functions.
4091 'header: Inserts the specified string at the bottom of the header.
4092 'header-top: Inserts the specified string at the top of the header.
4093 'header-file: Inserts the specified file at the bottom of the header.
4094 'x-face: Inserts @samp{X-Face:} field with the content of the specified file.
4095 'top: Inserts the specified string at the top of the body.
4096 'top-file: Inserts the specified file at the top of the body.
4097 'body: Replaces the body with the specified string.
4098 Specifying @code{nil} deletes the entire body string.
4099 'body-file: Replaces the body with the content of the specified file.
4100 'bottom: Inserts the specified string at the bottom of the body.
4101 'bottom-file: Inserts the specified file at the top of the body.
4102 'part-top: Inserts the specified string at the top of the current part.
4103 'part-bottom: Inserts the specified string at the bottom of the current part.
4104 'template: Applies the specified template.
4105 (refer to the next subsection)
4108 These are defined in @code{wl-draft-config-sub-func-alist} and you can
4109 change them or add your own functions. If you read the code, you can
4110 easily find how to write the functions.
4112 At the first of each item, @var{a regular expression of the header} or
4113 an @var{elisp expression} should be specified. In the case of an elisp
4114 expression, the item is applied when the expression is evaluated
4117 Per default, when multiple items match or are evaluated non-nil, all
4118 such items are applied, but if you set a variable
4119 @code{wl-draft-config-matchone} to @code{t}, only the first matching one
4122 At the second of the item, a cons or a list of functions should be
4123 specified. The car part of the cons should be a header field, a
4124 variable, or a sub-function. When a header field is specified, the
4125 field will be modified. If a variable is specified, the value of the
4126 variable will be modified temporarily.
4128 In the cdr part of a cons, not only a variable but also an elisp
4129 expression can be specified as is. If the car part is a header field
4130 and the cdr part is @code{nil}, the field will be deleted.
4132 If you want to use name of parent folder, you can refer the buffer local
4133 variable @code{wl-draft-parent-folder}.
4135 See the next example as well:
4139 (setq wl-draft-config-alist
4141 "X-ML-Name: \\(Wanderlust\\|emacs-mime-ja\\|apel-ja\\)"
4142 ;; @r{applied if it matches the header of the buffer being replied}
4143 (body . " Hello.\n")
4144 (template . "default")
4149 As in the (1) above, if a header regexp is prepended with @code{reply},
4150 it is applied when the draft is prepared by @code{wl-summary-reply} for
4151 example, and when it matches the header being replied. It is ignored
4152 when there is no buffer being replied, like after @code{wl-draft} was
4155 Note that @code{wl-draft-config-alist} is applied only once when
4156 @code{wl-draft-send-and-exit} or @code{wl-draft-send} is invoked.
4157 Therefore, if you want to apply @code{wl-draft-config-alist} again after
4158 aborting transmission, execute @kbd{C-c C-e}
4159 (@code{wl-draft-config-exec}) explicitly.
4161 If you don't want to apply @code{wl-draft-config-alist} when
4162 @code{wl-draft-send-and-exit} or @code{wl-draft-send} is invoked,
4166 (remove-hook 'wl-draft-send-hook 'wl-draft-config-exec)
4169 If you want to apply @code{wl-draft-config-alist} when a draft buffer is
4170 prepared, do the following:
4173 (add-hook 'wl-mail-setup-hook 'wl-draft-config-exec)
4176 If you want to apply @code{wl-draft-config-alist} when you re-edit a mail
4177 from summary mode by typing @kbd{E}(@code{wl-summary-reedit}), do the
4181 (add-hook 'wl-draft-reedit-hook 'wl-draft-config-exec)
4184 @subsection Inserting Templates
4186 @cindex Apply Template
4188 Set a variable @code{wl-template-alist}, and type @kbd{C-c C-j} or
4189 @kbd{M-x wl-template-select} in the draft buffer.
4191 The format of @code{wl-template-alist} is almost the same as
4192 @code{wl-draft-config-alist}.
4196 (setq wl-template-alist
4199 ("Organization" . "Example Co.Ltd.")
4200 (body . "Hello.\n"))
4202 (template . "default") ;; @r{(a)}
4203 ("To" . "boss@@example.com")
4204 ("Subject" . "Report")
4205 (body-file . "~/work/report.txt")
4211 As you can see, the only difference is item (template) names such as
4212 @samp{default} and @samp{report}, instead of a regexp of header.
4213 Because definition of each item is the same as
4214 @code{wl-draft-config-alist}, you can call another template, like (a).
4216 Executing the command @code{wl-template-select} results in template
4217 selection, but the result differs depending on variable
4218 @code{wl-template-visible-select}.
4220 If @code{wl-template-visible-select} is @code{t} (default), a buffer
4221 window is shown below the draft buffer. You can select a template by
4222 @kbd{n} and @kbd{p} seeing the buffer window.
4224 Press the @key{RET} key and the template is actually applied to the draft
4225 buffer. If you press @kbd{q}, nothing is applied. In addition, you can
4226 adjust the window size by @code{wl-template-buffer-lines}.
4228 If @code{wl-template-visible-select} is @code{nil}, you should type the
4229 name of the template in the mini buffer.
4231 As shown in the example in @code{wl-draft-config-alist}, you can select
4232 @samp{default} template by writing:
4235 (template . "default")
4238 @subsection Sending mail by POP-before-SMTP
4239 @cindex POP-before-SMTP
4241 You can send mail by POP-before-SMTP with this single line:
4244 (setq wl-draft-send-mail-function 'wl-draft-send-mail-with-pop-before-smtp)
4248 Configure the following variables if you need.
4251 @item wl-pop-before-smtp-user
4252 The POP user name for POP-before-SMTP authentication.
4253 If unset, @code{elmo-pop3-default-user} is used.
4255 @item wl-pop-before-smtp-server
4256 The POP server name for POP-before-SMTP authentication.
4257 If unset, @code{elmo-pop3-default-server} is used.
4259 @item wl-pop-before-smtp-authenticate-type
4260 The POP authentication method for POP-before-SMTP authentication.
4261 If unset, @code{elmo-pop3-default-authenticate-type} is used.
4263 @item wl-pop-before-smtp-port
4264 The POP port number for POP-before-SMTP authentication.
4265 If unset, @code{elmo-pop3-default-port} is used.
4267 @item wl-pop-before-smtp-stream-type
4268 If non-nil, POP connection is established using SSL. If
4269 @code{starttls}, STARTTLS (RFC2595) connection will be established. If
4270 unset, @code{elmo-pop3-default-stream-type} is used.
4273 If variables for POP-before-SMTP (@code{wl-pop-before-smtp-*}) are
4274 unset, settings for POP folders (@code{elmo-pop3-default-*}) are
4276 Therefore, if SMTP server and POP server are actually the same, and if
4277 POP folder per default (such as @samp{&}) is available, no settings are

4822 accumulated in the queue folder, @samp{+queue}. These messages are
4823 transmitted at once when Wanderlust becomes on-line.
4825 You can visit @samp{+queue} in the off-line state and confirm content of

4831 @subsection Re-file and Copy (IMAP4)
4833 Re-file and copy operations to IMAP folders invoked during the off-line

4835 when Wanderlust becomes on-line. If you visit destination folders after
4836 off-line re-file or copy, it looks as if messages were appended even in
4839 For the safety reasons, messages re-filed off-line are removed from

4871 these off-line operations for IMAP4 and NNTP do not take place, and
4872 off-line re-file, copy or suchlike simply results in error.
4874 Because off-line operations use cache files, it is a bad idea to erase
4875 them by hand; it may cause Wanderlust to malfunction.
4877 If you want to remove caches, be sure to execute @kbd{M-x

5074 @cindex Expire Message
5076 Expiration means deletion of old messages which have outlasted a
5077 certain period of time.
5079 @code{wl-expire} supports not only simple deletion, but also moving to
5080 specified archiving folders.
5084 Configure @code{wl-expire-alist} and press @kbd{e} in the folder mode,
5085 or @kbd{M-e} in the summary mode.
5087 @subsection Configuring @code{wl-expire-alist}
5089 An example configuration of @code{wl-expire-alist} is shown below.
5090 Everything in this @code{wl-expire-alist} makes a great difference in
5091 expiration, so be careful. I advise you to set @code{wl-expire-use-log}
5092 to @code{t}, especially in the initial stage.
5096 (setq wl-expire-alist
5097 '(("^\\+trash$" (date 14) remove)

5106 ;; @r{archive by message number (retaining numbers)}
5107 ("^\\+ml/.*" (number 300 310) wl-expire-archive-number2 t)
5108 ;; @r{archive by a fixed number (retaining numbers)}
5109 ("^\\+diary$" (date 30) wl-expire-archive-date)
5110 ;; @r{archive by year and month (numbers discarded)}
5115 Items in the list has the format of:
5118 (@var{regexp-for-folders} @var{specification-of-messages-to-be-deleted} @var{destination})
5122 The folder is examined if it matches @var{regexp-for-folders} from the
5123 beginning of the list. If you invoke expiration on the folder that does
5124 not match any of them, nothing will happen. And if either the second or
5125 the third element of the item is @code{nil}, expiration will not take
5128 You can use any one of the following for
5129 @var{specification-of-message-to-be-deleted}:
5132 @item (number @var{n1} [@var{n2}])
5133 deletes messages depending on the number of messages in the folder.
5135 @var{n1} is the number of messages which should survive deletion, for example
5136 if its value is 500, the newest 500 messages survive and the rests are
5139 @var{n2} is the number of messages in the folder on which expiration should
5140 take place, which defaults to @var{n1} + 1. For example if its value is 510,
5141 folders with 510 or more messages are expired.
5142 If you configured automatic expiration, frequently used folders may
5143 expire every time it receive messages, and you may be annoyed with the
5144 long delay in reading mail.
5145 In that case, you can set a wide margin between @var{n2} and @var{n1}, so that
5146 expiration would not take place until a certain number of messages
5149 Messages with marks in @code{wl-summary-expire-reserve-marks} (marked
5150 with important/new/unread) are not deleted.
5151 If @code{wl-expire-number-with-reserve-marks} is non-nil, the folder
5152 will expire so as to have 500 messages including such ones.
5153 Otherwise, it will have 500 messages except such ones.
5155 @item (date @var{d1})
5156 deletes messages depending on the dates.
5158 Messages dated @var{d1} or more days ago are deleted, for example if its
5159 value is seven, messages seven days old or more are deleted. Note that
5160 the date is the one in the @samp{Date:} field of the message, not when
5161 the message entered the folder.
5163 Messages with no or invalid @samp{Date:} field does not expire; you
5164 might have to delete them by hand.
5167 You can use any one of the following in the place of @var{destination}:
5171 deletes the messages instantly.
5174 hide the messages from summary (messages are not deleted).
5177 moves the messages to @code{wl-trash-folder}.
5179 @item @var{string}(folder)
5180 moves the messages to the folder specified with @var{string}.
5182 It would be useful for specifying an archiving folder, but because this
5183 does not move important messages, it might be better to use the
5184 standard functions described below.
5186 @item @var{function}
5187 invokes the specified @var{function}.
5189 To the @var{function}, three arguments are passed: a folder name, a list
5190 of messages to be deleted, and msgdb information of the summary. You
5191 can specify function-specific arguments after the name of the
5192 @var{function}. Note that the list contains messages with marks in
5193 @code{wl-summary-expire-reserve-marks}, be careful in writing your own
5196 These are four standard functions; three of them move messages to an archive
5197 folder in the specified way. This means old messages can be compressed
5198 and saved in a file, being deleted from the original folder.
5199 The last one divides messages to some MH folders.
5202 @item wl-expire-archive-number1
5203 re-files to archiving folders corresponding to the message numbers of
5204 the messages being deleted. For example, a message numbered 102 will be
5205 re-filed to @file{wl-00100.zip}, 390 to @file{wl-00300.zip}, and so on.
5206 If @code{wl-expire-archive-files} is 200, messages will be re-filed to
5207 @file{wl-00000.zip}, @file{wl-00200.zip}, @file{wl-00400.zip}, @dots{}.
5209 The archiving folders to which messages are re-filed are determined by
5210 the name of the folder as follows (in this case, archiving folders are
5211 handled as if @code{elmo-archive-treat-file} were non-nil).
5214 @item If the folder type is localdir:
5215 @file{@var{ArchiveDir}/@var{foldername}-xxxxx.zip}
5217 For example, @samp{+ml/wl} corresponds to @samp{$ml/wl;zip}
5218 (@file{~/Mail/ml/wl-00100.zip}).
5220 @item The folder type is other than localdir:
5221 @file{@var{ArchiveDir}/@var{foldertype}/@var{foldername}-xxxxx.zip}
5223 For example, @samp{%#mh/ml/wl} corresponds to
5224 @samp{$imap4/#mh/ml/wl;zip} (@file{~/Mail/imap4/#mh/ml/wl-00100.zip}).
5227 As you can see, in the case of localdir, the folder type is not included
5228 in the path name, but otherwise it is included.
5229 And you can control the prefix to the archiving folder name by
5230 @code{wl-expire-archive-folder-prefix}.
5231 Refer to @code{wl-expire-archive-folder-prefix} for details.
5233 @item wl-expire-archive-number2
5234 re-files every certain number of messages to archiving folders.
5236 This differs from @samp{wl-expire-archive-number1} in that this re-files
5237 to the folder up to the specified number regardless of message numbers.
5238 The archiving folders to which messages are re-filed are determined in the
5239 same way as @code{wl-expire-archive-number1}.
5241 @item wl-expire-archive-date
5242 re-files messages depending on its date (year and month) to archive
5245 For example, a message dated December 1998 is re-filed to
5246 @code{$folder-199812;zip}. The name of the archiving folders except the
5247 date part are determined in the same way as
5248 @code{wl-expire-archive-number1}.
5251 You can set the first argument to these three standard functions to non-nil
5252 in @code{wl-expire-alist} so as to retain message numbers in the folder.
5253 For example, it can be specified just after the name of the function:
5256 ("^\\+ml/wl$" (number 300 310) wl-expire-archive-number1 t)
5259 If you omit the argument, consecutive numbers from 1 are assigned for
5260 each archiving folder.
5262 @item wl-expire-localdir-date
5263 divedes messages depending on its date (year and month) to MH folders
5264 e.g. to @samp{+ml/wl/1999_11/}, @samp{+ml/wl/1999_12/}.
5268 @subsection Treatment for Important or Unread Messages
5270 If you specify any of @code{remove}, @code{trash}, a folder name, or a
5271 standard function, messages with marks in
5272 @code{wl-summary-expire-reserve-marks} (which are called @dfn{reserved
5273 messages} thereafter) are retained.
5275 Per default, this variable include the important, new, and unread marks,
5276 so that messages with these marks are not removed.
5277 Note that you cannot include the temporary mark (i.e. temporary marks
5278 are removed anyway), and be sure to process temporary marks before you
5281 @subsection Auto Expiration
5283 The following setup invokes expiration when you move into the summary
5284 mode. There will be no confirmation, so make sure you made no mistake
5285 in regexp and other settings before you set up this.
5289 (add-hook 'wl-summary-prepared-pre-hook 'wl-summary-expire)
5293 In the folder mode, you can invoke expiration per group as well as per
5294 folder. Therefore, if you specify @samp{Desktop} group, all folders
5295 matching @code{wl-expire-alist} expire.
5299 @subsection Treating archive folders.
5300 To treat archive folders created by @code{wl-expire-archive-number1} and so on,
5301 you must set non-nil value to @code{elmo-archive-treat-file}.
5303 @subsection Confirming
5305 If you are to use @code{remove}, try @code{trash} at first and see
5306 messages move to @code{wl-trash-folder} as expected, then replace it
5307 with @code{remove}. It would be dangerous to use @code{remove} from the
5310 If you are to use @code{wl-expire-archive-number1} and the like, try to
5311 make a folder of the archiver type (@code{zip} or @code{lha}) and see if
5312 you can append messages to it. Even if settings in
5313 @code{wl-expire-alist} and @code{elmo-archive} are correct, messages
5314 would not be saved anywhere and disappeared in case the archiver program
5317 After you make sure you can archive to the folder correctly, you can
5318 invoke expiration and utilize the log.
5320 If you set @code{wl-expire-use-log} to @code{t},
5321 @file{~/.elmo/expired-log} should contain the log, for example:
5325 delete +ml/wl (593 594 595 596 597 598 599)
5326 move +ml/wl -> $ml/wl-00600;tgz;wl (600 601 602)
5330 The first column indicates the operation, i.e. @samp{delete},
5331 @samp{copy}, or @samp{move}. The next is the name of the folder that
5332 expired. In the case of @samp{copy} and @samp{move}, the destination
5333 folder is recorded after @samp{->}. The last is the list of message
5334 numbers that are actually deleted or moved (in the case of @samp{copy}
5335 and @samp{move}, the number is the one in the source folder, rather than
5336 the destination folder).
5338 @subsection Re-filing Reserved Messages
5340 The three standard functions copy reserved messages to the archive
5341 folder, but do not delete them from the source folder. Because
5342 reserved messages and the like always remain, they are recorded in
5343 @file{~/.elmo/expired-alist} so that they are not copied over and over
5344 again. They are not recorded if copied by @code{wl-summary-archive}.
5346 If you enabled logging, usually @samp{move} is recorded for re-filing,
5347 but instead @samp{copy} and @samp{delete} are recorded separately if
5348 reserved messages are involved. This is because it actually copies
5349 messages including reserved, then deletes ones except reserved in that

5456 Exercise extreme caution in using this feature, as it has not been
5458 In the worst case, there is a fear of destructing archiving folders.
5462 There will be no prefix.
5465 For example, @samp{+ml/wl} will be prefixed by @samp{wl}, resulting in
5466 @samp{$ml/wl-00000;zip;wl}.

5493 If non-nil, messages older than the one with the largest number will be
5494 deleted with confirmation.
5495 If @code{nil}, they are deleted without confirmation.
5497 This feature is valid only if non-nil is specified as a argument to the
5498 standard functions so as to retain numbers.

5502 The initial setting is @code{nil}.
5503 If non-nil, expiration logs are recorded in @file{~/.elmo/expired-log}.

5563 @item @code{wl-archive-number2}
5564 @item @code{wl-archive-date}
5567 As inferred from their names, they work similarly to "expire" versions,
5568 other than the following points:
5571 @item No messages are deleted
5572 @item Message numbers are retained even if invoked without arguments
5575 These functions are good to archive all messages in a folder by their
5576 numbers or by their dates.
5577 These are also useful for backup or confirmation purposes before
5579 If you try to re-file them after they are archived, they are deleted but
5582 Per default, the archiving folders to which messages are copied are
5583 determined automatically by @code{wl-expire-archive-get-folder-function}.
5584 You can copy to a specific folder by invoking with a prefix argument,
5585 i.e. @kbd{C-u M-x wl-summary-archive}.

5588 simply copy to an archiving folder, for example by

5618 This variable specifies a function that copies to archiving folders.
5619 To the function, three arguments are passed: a folder name, a list of
5620 messages in the folder, and msgdb information of the summary.
5621 Needless to say, you can use your own function.

5628 @c @cindex Kill File
5630 Scoring is the function that associates a score (value) with each
5631 message, and marks as read or deletes from the summary according to it.
5633 You can put target or important marks on essential messages, or read marks
5634 on the ones you do not want to read, for example spam articles.
5636 This scoring function has a capability and a format similar to the one

5649 @cindex Score Commands
5651 @subsection Score File Specification
5653 @code{wl-score-folder-alist} specifies score files or variables in which
5654 scores are defined, corresponding to folder names.
5658 (setq wl-score-folder-alist
5667 If paths to the score files are omitted, the directory specified in the
5668 variable @code{wl-score-files-directory} is assumed.
5670 No matter what you write in @code{wl-score-folder-alist}, the default
5671 score file @code{wl-score-default-file} (@file{all.SCORE}) is always
5672 read (it does not have to exist).
5673 Therefore, in the example above, the three score files,
5674 @file{news.SCORE}, @file{my.SCORE}, and @file{all.SCORE} are read for
5675 the folders that matches @samp{^-.*}.
5677 @subsection Scored Messages
5679 Scores are attached to the messages that are specified by
5680 @code{wl-summary-score-marks} temporarily when the summary is updated;
5681 when you exit from the summary, the scores are removed and reverts to
5684 @subsection Creation of Score Files
5686 In the summary buffer, move to an appropriate message and type @kbd{L}.
5687 Then type @kbd{s}, @kbd{s}, and @kbd{p} at a prompt in a mini-buffer.
5688 The string in Subject is presented. Edit it and press @kbd{@key{RET}}.
5690 This makes @minus{}1000 are scored for messages with the same
5691 @samp{Subject:} as the string you entered. That is, such a score file
5692 is created automatically.
5694 Then, try typing @kbd{h} and @kbd{e} in the same summary buffer.
5695 The score file you just made appears.
5696 This buffer is called @dfn{score editing buffer} thereafter.
5697 When you type @kbd{C-c C-e} in it, you are prompted in the mini-buffer
5698 as you are previously; type @kbd{a}. Then a score entry for "From"
5700 In this way, you can create a score file easily either in the summary
5701 buffer or in the score editing buffer.
5703 By the way, you might be aware the numbers of key strokes are different
5704 between @kbd{s s p} and @kbd{a}.
5705 This is determined by @code{wl-score-header-default-entry}.
5706 This variable specifies the default score entries corresponding to
5708 For example, for "subject" field, a type and a time limit are prompted,
5709 but for "from" field, they are fixed upon automatically as substring and
5710 permanent respectively.
5711 However, score values can be modified by the prefix argument.
5712 Typing @kbd{?} at the mini-buffer shows a help on keys and corresponding
5715 At last, type @kbd{C-c C-c} in the score editing buffer. This saves the
5716 score file and terminates the edit mode. Typing @kbd{C-c C-c} after
5717 erasing contents of the buffer deletes the score file being edited.
5721 @subsubsection Selecting Score Files
5723 You can change score files to which scores are appended by
5724 @code{wl-summary-increase-score} and @code{wl-summary-lower-score} by
5725 @code{wl-score-change-score-file}.
5727 @subsubsection Summing Up the Score
5729 If you add the same entries by @code{wl-summary-increase-score},
5730 @code{wl-summary-lower-score}, and @code{wl-score-edit-insert-entry},
5731 scores for the entry is summed up.
5733 For example, if you create @samp{from} entry with the score of @minus{}1000 by
5734 @kbd{L a} and again @samp{from} with @minus{}200, one entry with the score of
5735 @minus{}1200 will be created as a result.
5737 @subsubsection Creating Thread Key
5739 Creating @samp{Thread} key by @code{wl-summary-increase-score} or
5740 @code{wl-summary-lower-score} appends @samp{Message-ID} of all children.
5742 @subsubsection Creating Followup Key
5744 Creating @samp{Followup} key by @code{wl-summary-increase-score} or
5745 @code{wl-summary-lower-score} appends @samp{Message-ID} of the message
5746 at the cursor to @samp{References} key.
5747 If @code{wl-score-auto-make-followup-entry} is non-nil,
5748 @samp{Message-ID} of all messages to be followed up within dates
5749 specified by @code{wl-score-expiry-days}.

5985 If the key is a string, it is the name of the header to be matched.
5986 The following keys are available:
5987 @code{Subject}, @code{From}, @code{Date}, @code{Message-ID},
5988 @code{References}, @code{To}, @code{Cc}, @code{Chars}, @code{Lines},
5989 @code{Xref}, @code{Extra}, @code{Followup}, @code{Thread}
5990 @code{Chars} and @code{Lines} mean the size and the number of lines of
5991 the message, respectively. @code{Extra}, @code{Followup}, @code{Thread}
5992 are described later.
5993 The rest corresponds the field of the same name.
5995 Arbitrary numbers of core entries are specified after the key.
5996 Each score entry consists of these five factors:
6000 A factor that matches header. This should be a number in the cases of
6001 @code{lines} and @code{chars}, otherwise a string.
6004 A score factor. When the first item matches, the score of the message
6005 is increased or decreased by this value.
6008 A time limiting factor. If @code{nil}, the score is permanent, and in the case
6009 of a number, the score is deleted if it does not match for days
6010 (@code{wl-score-expiry-days}) from the date specified by this.
6011 The date is since Dec. 31, 1 B.C.
6014 A type factor. This specifies the way the first factor matches.
6015 Available types depend on keys.
6018 @item From, Subject, References, Message-ID
6019 For these keys in string, @code{r} and @code{R} (regexp),
6020 @code{s} and @code{S} (substring), @code{e} and @code{E} (exact match),
6021 as well as @code{f} and @code{F} (fuzzy) can be used.
6022 @code{R}, @code{S}, @code{E}, and @code{F} are case sensitive.
6025 For these keys, the following five numerical relative operators can be
6026 used: @code{<}, @code{>}, @code{=}, @code{>=}, @code{<=}.
6029 This key matches @code{From} header, and scores all follow-ups to the
6031 For example, it would be useful for increasing scores for follow-ups to
6034 You can use the same types as @code{From} except for @code{f}.
6035 And a @samp{Followup} entry is automatically appended to the score file.
6038 This key scores (sub-)threads beginning with @code{Message-ID} @var{x}.
6039 A @samp{Thread} entry is automatically appended for each article that
6040 has @var{x} in the @code{References} header.
6041 You can make sure the whole thread including messages that does not have
6042 all ancestors @code{Message-ID} in @code{References} is scored.
6044 You can use the same types as @code{References} except for @code{f}.
6045 And a @samp{Thread} entry is automatically appended to the score file.
6049 A factor for extension header. This is meaningful only if the key is
6051 This specifies headers to be matched other than standard headers like
6052 @code{Subject} and @code{From}.
6053 Note that you should specify the header in
6054 @code{elmo-msgdb-extra-fields} also.
6055 Therefore it does not work in folders where extension headers cannot be
6060 The sum of these scores @emph{after all factors are applied} becomes the
6061 score of the message.

6141 The file @file{~/.addresses} is a simple address book for Wanderlust.
6142 Make address file @file{~/.addresses}, and edit to suit your requirement.
6144 The data written in @file{~/.addresses} are used for address completion
6145 under draft editing mode. Furthermore, they are used when showing names
6146 in summary display mode. You can safely skip this section, if you don't
6147 want to customize address completion and summary display.
6148 It is possible to add/change/remove addresses from @file{~/.addresses} in
6149 summary buffer after Wanderlust is invoked. @refill
6151 The format is very simple. Like this. @refill
6156 # @r{Lines begin with @samp{#} are comment.}
6157 # @r{Empty lines are ignored}
6159 # @r{Format of each line:}
6160 # @var{email-address} "@var{nickname} "@var{realname}"

6163 foo@@bar.gohome.org "Mr. Foo" "John Foo"
6164 bar@@foo.gohome.org "Mr. Bar" "Michael Bar"
6169 One line defines one persons description.
6171 Actually, in default setup, @var{nickname} is used in summary-mode and
6172 @var{realname} is used in draft preparation mode. This behavior is
6173 better understood if you try it and confirmed the function first. You
6174 can write and try a small definition, so you will know the idea of the
6175 address book before writing a big one.
6177 And, if MH alias file is specified in variable @code{wl-alias-file},
6178 it is used as an address information in the draft preparation mode.
6180 If variable @code{wl-use-ldap} is non-nil (initial setting is
6181 @code{nil}), address completion in draft mode uses LDAP information.
6183 If you use LDAP, you have to set @code{wl-ldap-server},

6823 If you type @kbd{a} in the Summary Buffer, a draft for reply is prepared.
6824 The addressee for the draft is decided by following rules.
6826 For example, you can set as follows:
6830 (setq wl-draft-reply-without-argument-list
6831 '(("Mail-Followup-To" . (("Mail-Followup-To") nil ("Newsgroups")))
6832 ("Followup-To" . (nil nil ("Followup-To")))
6833 (("X-ML-Name" "Reply-To") . (("Reply-To") nil nil))
6834 ("From" . (("From") ("To" "Cc") ("Newsgroups")))))
6838 Where each element of the list @code{wl-draft-reply-without-argument-list}
6842 (key . (to-list cc-list newsgroup-list))
6845 and if the field designated by @samp{key} exist in the parent message,
6846 parent's field values designated by @samp{to-list} are copied to @samp{To:}
6847 in the draft. Similarly, parent's fields designated by @samp{cc-list} and
6848 @samp{newsgroup-list} are copied to @samp{Cc:} and @samp{Newsgroups:} in
6849 the draft respectively.
6854 ("Mail-Followup-To" . (("Mail-Followup-To") nil ("Newsgroups")))
6857 Match if the parent has @samp{Mail-Followup-To} field.
6858 The components of parent's @samp{Mail-Followup-To} and @samp{Newsgroups}
6859 fields are copied to @samp{To} and @samp{Newsgroups} in the draft
6863 (("X-ML-Name" "Reply-To") . (("Reply-To") nil nil))
6866 Match if the parent has both @samp{X-ML-Name} and @samp{Reply-To} fields.
6867 Parent's @samp{Reply-To} is copied to @samp{To} in the draft.
6870 ("From" . (("From") ("To" "Cc") ("Newsgroups")))
6873 Copy parent's @samp{From} to @samp{To} in the draft, parent's @samp{To} and
6874 @samp{Cc} to @samp{Cc}, parent's @samp{Newsgroups} to @samp{Newsgroups}
6877 These are evaluated in order and first matched one is used.
6879 Moreover, the behavior of @kbd{a} with prefix argument can
6880 be directed by @code{wl-draft-reply-with-argument-list} as well.
6882 By the way, you can use some function (will be evaluated in the parent
6883 message buffer) in the place of @samp{key} or @samp{to-list} etc.
6884 For example, if you only want to reply to mailing lists in
6885 @code{wl-subscribed-mailing-list} if the parent has some of them,
6890 (defun wl-mailing-list-addresses ()
6894 (nth 1 (std11-extract-address-components addr)))
6897 (elmo-multiple-fields-body-list (list "To" "Cc"))
6899 (when (elmo-string-matched-member to wl-subscribed-mailing-list t)
6900 (setq list-addrs (cons to list-addrs))))
6901 (nreverse list-addrs)))
6903 (setq wl-draft-reply-with-argument-list
6904 '((wl-mailing-list-addresses . (wl-mailing-list-addresses nil nil))
6905 ("Reply-To" . (("Reply-To") nil nil))
6906 ("Mail-Reply-To" . (("Mail-Reply-To") nil nil))
6907 ("From" . (("From") nil nil))))
6912 Note: To set the behavior when you reply to the message written by yourself,
6913 use @code{wl-draft-reply-myself-without-argument-list} and
6914 @code{wl-draft-reply-myself-with-argument-list} instead of them.

7404 According to a dictionary, Wanderlust has the meaning:
7408 n eager longing for or impulse towards travelling in distant lands
7409 [Ger, fr wandern to wander + lust desire, pleasure]
7413 but I had no profound intention. (if farfetched, IMAP @result{} you can
7414 read mail anywhere @result{} desire to wander ?)
7416 Elmo is the abbreviation of @samp{Elisp Library for Message
7417 Orchestration}. At first I meant the red puppet in the Sesame Street,
7418 but you may associate it with Wandering @result{} Drifting @result{}
7419 Guidepost @result{} St.@: Elmo's fire @result{} elmo.
7423 Each versions has code names (they are almost jokes).
7424 Currently they are picked up alphabetically from the top 40 hits of
7425 U.S. Billboard magazines in 1980s.
