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

217 @node MIME Modules, Download, Start Me Up, Start Me Up
218 @section Installing MIME modules
224 You must install SEMI beforehand to use Wanderlust.
226 SEMI can be downloaded from following site:
230 SEMI: ftp://ftp.m17n.org/pub/mule/semi/
234 You need packages named APEL and FLIM to use SEMI.
235 You can download APEL and FLIM from following URLs:
239 APEL: ftp://ftp.m17n.org/pub/mule/apel/
240 FLIM: ftp://ftp.m17n.org/pub/mule/flim/
244 You have to install APEL, FLIM and SEMI in this order. Generally,
245 @samp{make install} will do the job. (In XEmacs 21, @samp{make
248 Refer to the documents of each package for detailed installation
249 procedure @footnote{If you want to use SEMI on Emacs 19.34. @*
250 @uref{http://www.jpl.org/elips/INSTALL-SEMI-ja.html} (In Japanese)
254 Recommended combination of APEL, FLIM and SEMI are following:
257 @item APEL 10.3, FLIM 1.14.3 and SEMI 1.14.3
260 You can also use many other FLIM/SEMI variants. Combination of the
261 latest versions should work. For example, the following combination are
265 @item APEL 10.2, Chao 1.14.1, REMI 1.14.2
266 @item APEL 10.2, SLIM 1.14.3, EMY 1.13.9
269 You have to re-install Wanderlust if you upgraded APEL, FLIM or SEMI.
272 @node Download, Install, MIME Modules, Start Me Up
273 @section Download and Extract the Package
276 You can download Wanderlust package from following sites:
280 ftp://ftp.gohome.org/wl/
283 Mirrored ftp/http sites:
287 ftp://ftp.jaist.ac.jp/pub/GNU/elisp/ftp.gohome.org/wl/
288 http://www.jpl.org/elips/wl/
289 http://www.ring.gr.jp/archives/text/elisp/wl/
290 ftp://ftp.ring.gr.jp/pub/text/elisp/wl/
291 ftp://opaopa.org/pub/mirror/elisp/wl/
292 @c ftp://roguelife.org/pub/tsumura/wl/
296 Extract the obtained package to your working directory:
301 % tar zxvf wl-@var{version}.tar.gz
302 % cd wl-@var{version}
306 @subsection To use SSL (Secure Socket Layer)
311 SSL (Secure Socket Layer) can be used for
312 SMTP, IMAP, NNTP and POP connections in Wanderlust.
314 There are two ways to use SSL. One is to start SSL negotiation just
315 after the connection establishment (generic way). The other one is to
316 start SSL negotiation by invoking STARTTLS command in the each session.
318 To use the formal SSL (generic SSL), you must set @env{PATH} to the
319 directory that OpenSSL commands are installed.
321 To use the latter SSL(STARTTLS), you must install starttls package in
323 You can download starttls package from the following site.
326 ftp://opaopa.org/pub/elisp/
329 @node Install, Minimal Settings, Download, Start Me Up
330 @section Byte-compile and install
337 @subsection Installation
339 Edit @code{LISPDIR} and @code{EMACS} in @file{Makefile}.
340 Set the Emacs's command name to @code{EMACS}.
341 Set package installation directory to @code{LISPDIR}.
342 Then, please execute following commands.
351 Destination directory is auto-probed if you leave @code{LISPDIR}
352 in @file{Makefile} as is. (That is, leave it as @samp{NONE})
354 If you are using an Emacs variant which does not merge specified directory
355 to @code{load-path} (e.g. Mule 2.3 based on Emacs 19.28),
356 then you will see the error message:
359 Cannot open load file: mime-setup
363 In this case, either add destination directories of custom, APEL, FLIM
364 and SEMI to environmental variable @env{EMACSLOADPATH}, or define
365 @code{load-path} in @file{WL-CFG} in extracted directory.
367 If you want to handle shimbun folders or to use BBDB, add directory
368 where emacs-w3m or BBDB is installed to @code{load-path}. Then necessary
369 modules will be byte-compiled and installed.
370 @xref{Shimbun Folder}, @xref{BBDB}.
372 @subsection @file{WL-CFG}
374 Contents of the file @file{WL-CFG} is loaded under installation if a file
375 with that name exists in extracted directory. You can use @file{WL-CFG} to
376 configure @code{load-path} to extra packages such as SEMI if needed.
378 If you want to specify the install directory of Wanderlust related
379 files, then set following variables in @file{WL-CFG}
383 A directory to install WL modules.
384 This directory is relative directory from @code{LISPDIR}.
385 WL modules include @file{wl*.el}, @file{wl*.elc} files.
386 @c Modules under the directory @file{util/} are also installed if
387 @c it detected as necessary.
390 A directory to install ELMO modules.
391 This directory is relative directory from @code{LISPDIR}.
392 ELMO modules include @file{elmo*.el}, @file{elmo*.elc} files.
393 @c @file{utf7.el}, @file{utf7.elc} are also included in the ELMO.
397 Default value of @code{WL_PREFIX} and @code{ELMO_PREFIX} are @file{wl}.
399 If you want to install ELMO related files under a sub-directory
400 such as "elmo" then add following to @file{WL-CFG}:
403 (setq ELMO_PREFIX "elmo")
406 @subsection Install as a XEmacs package
407 @cindex XEmacs package
408 @cindex XEmacs package install
409 @cindex Package, XEmacs
410 @cindex Package install, XEmacs
411 @c @cindex install-package
413 It is possible to install Wanderlust as one of packages of XEmacs (21.0
414 or later). Configuration for autoload and icon-path in local
415 @file{~/.emacs} files are no longer necessary, if you install Wanderlust
418 Follow the next example to install Wanderlust as an XEmacs package.
424 % make install-package
428 package directory is auto-probed, if SEMI is installed.
429 (you can also specify it with @code{PACKAGEDIR} in @file{Makefile})
431 @subsection Run in place
433 If wl and elmo directories are defined in @code{load-path}, then
434 byte-compilation and installation are not necessary to start Wanderlust.
435 For example, if package is extracted in @file{~/work}, Wanderlust can be
436 invoked with following setting in @file{~/.emacs}.
440 (add-to-list 'load-path "~/work/wl-@var{version}/wl")
441 (add-to-list 'load-path "~/work/wl-@var{version}/elmo")
447 Manual is described in Info format. Please do following.
456 If you install Wanderlust as a XEmacs package, Info file is already
457 installed too, so there are no need of these commands.
459 Manual directory is automatically detected. Of course, it can be
460 configured by @code{INFODIR} in @file{Makefile}.
462 You can read manual at the following URL:
465 http://www.gohome.org/wl/doc/wl_toc.html
468 @node Minimal Settings, Folder Definition, Install, Start Me Up
469 @section Set up .emacs
470 @cindex Minimal Settings
472 @cindex Configuration
476 The Wanderlust package contains two module groups.
479 @item ELMO (elmo-*.el)
480 These modules show everything as folders. This is the back-end for WL.
482 These modules controls the behavior of main body of Wanderlust.
483 They are also the front-end for ELMO.
486 You can customize the behavior of Wanderlust by changing the value
487 of environmental variables which begins with @code{elmo-} and @code{wl-}.
489 The minimal requirement for settings is as the following.
493 ;; @r{autoload configuration}
494 ;; @r{(Not required if you have installed Wanderlust as XEmacs package)}
495 (autoload 'wl "wl" "Wanderlust" t)
496 (autoload 'wl-other-frame "wl" "Wanderlust on new frame." t)
497 (autoload 'wl-draft "wl-draft" "Write draft with Wanderlust." t)
499 ;; @r{Directory where icons are placed.}
500 ;; @r{Default: the peculiar value to the running version of Emacs.}
501 ;; @r{(Not required if the default value points properly)}
502 (setq wl-icon-directory "~/work/wl/etc")
504 ;; @r{SMTP server for mail posting. Default: @code{nil}}
505 (setq wl-smtp-posting-server "your.smtp.example.com")
506 ;; @r{NNTP server for news posting. Default: @code{nil}}
507 (setq wl-nntp-posting-server "your.nntp.example.com")
511 @file{~/.wl} is automatically loaded when Wanderlust starts up (if such a
512 file exists). So it is convenient to gather Wanderlust specific settings
513 in @file{~/.wl}. Settings for "face" must be written in @file{~/.wl},
514 because you can't write them in @file{.emacs}
515 (if you write it to @file{.emacs}, you'll get an error).
518 All above described settings except autoload configuration can be written
521 @subsection @code{mail-user-agent}
522 @cindex Default Mailer
523 @cindex Mailer, Default
524 @vindex mail-user-agent
527 If you write following setting in your @file{~/.emacs}, you can
528 start Wanderlust draft mode by typing @kbd{C-x m} (@code{compose-mail}).
529 This means it enables you to run Wanderlust as a default mail composer
532 It is effective only when your Emacs can define @code{mail-user-agent}.
533 @xref{Mail Methods, , ,emacs-ja, The Emacs Editor}.
537 (autoload 'wl-user-agent-compose "wl-draft" nil t)
538 (if (boundp 'mail-user-agent)
539 (setq mail-user-agent 'wl-user-agent))
540 (if (fboundp 'define-mail-user-agent)

552 @node Folder Definition, Start Wanderlust, Minimal Settings, Start Me Up
553 @section Folder Definition
554 @cindex Folder Definition
557 You can skip this section because it is possible to add/edit the
558 subscribe folders from the buffer for list of folders.
559 @xref{Folder Manager}.
561 Define the folders you want to subscribe in file @file{~/.folders}. The
562 contents written in @file{~/.folders} become the folders which you
563 subscribe to as it is.
565 Format for @file{~/.folders} is very simple. Here is an example:
570 # @r{Lines begin with @samp{#} are comment.}
571 # @r{Empty lines are ignored}
573 # @var{folder name} "@var{folder nickname}"
574 # @r{(nicknames are not necessary)}
579 %#mh/Backup@@my.imap.example.com "Sent"
582 %#mh/spool/wl "Wanderlust ML"
583 %#mh/spool/elips "ELIPS ML"
584 %#mh/spool/apel-ja "APEL Japanese ML"
585 %#mh/spool/xemacs-beta "XEmacs beta"
586 -fj.news.reader.gnus@@other.nntp.example.com "Gnus Net news"
587 *-fj.editor.xemacs,-fj.editor.mule,-fj.editor.emacs "fj's Emacsen"
590 # @r{If folder name ends with @samp{/}, that means an `access group',}
591 # @r{all subfolders automatically included in one folder group.}
593 %#mh/expire@@localhost /
594 # @r{All MH folders are included in one folder group.}
599 Each line contains one folder you want to read. The definition of
600 folders will be explained in detail in the next section.
602 The part surrounded by @samp{@var{group name}@{} and @samp{@}} will
603 become one folder group. One folder group is treated as a directory
604 which can be opened and closed in folder mode. It is convenient for
605 collecting some folders and putting them in order.
607 Please note that @samp{@var{group name}@{} and @samp{@}} occupies one
608 line and you have to write it that way (It is because the parser sucks).
610 There are two types of groups. One is like @samp{Emacsen} from above
611 example which the user chooses his favorite folders as a group.
613 The other one is @dfn{access group} like @samp{+ /} from above example.
614 It collects all sub-folders in the folder to make a group. (Its
615 behavior differs by the type of the folder. For example, @samp{+}
616 followed by @samp{/} makes entire MH sub-directories to one group)
618 This behavior is better understood if you try it and confirmed the
619 function first. You can write and try a small folder definition, so you
620 will know the idea of the folder function before writing the real one.

675 As of version @value{VERSION}, 11 types of folders are predefined. These are
676 IMAP, NNTP, LocalDir(MH), Maildir, News Spool, Archive, POP, Multi, Filter,
677 Pipe and Internal folder types.
680 * IMAP Folder:: @samp{%} -- IMAP folder

704 A folder to access e-mails via IMAP4rev1 protocol (RFC 2060).
710 @samp{%} @var{mailbox} [@samp{:} @var{username} [@samp{/} @var{authenticate-type}]][@samp{@@} @var{hostname}][@samp{:} @var{port}][@samp{!}]
714 You can specify @code{login} (encoded password transmission),
715 @code{cram-md5} (CRAM-MD5 authentication), @code{digest-md5} (DIGEST-MD5
716 authentication) or @code{clear} (or @code{nil}, plain password
717 transmission) as @var{authenticate-type}.
722 @var{username} -> The value of @code{elmo-imap4-default-user}.
723 Initial setting is @env{USER} environment variable or
724 @env{LOGNAME} environment variable or return value of
725 @code{(user-login-name)}.
726 @var{authenticate-type} -> The value of @code{elmo-imap4-default-authenticate-type}.
727 Initial setting is "auth".
728 @var{hostname} -> The value of @code{elmo-imap4-default-server}.
729 Initial setting is "localhost".
730 @var{port} -> The value of @code{elmo-imap4-default-port}.
731 Initial setting is 143.
734 You can omit the @var{hostname} from folder names if you set
735 @code{elmo-imap4-default-server} as your main IMAP server.
736 For example, you can specify a folder as @samp{foo%imap@@gateway} even
737 if you have to go through a firewall.
741 ;; @r{Example: imap4.exaple.org as main IMAP server}
742 (setq elmo-imap4-default-server "imap4.example.org")
746 SSL (Secure Socket Layer) connection will be used if a folder name ends
747 with @samp{!}. Or, if the value of @code{elmo-imap4-default-stream-type}
748 is @code{ssl}, SSL will be the default connection. If a folder name
749 ends with @samp{!!}, STARTTLS connection will be established. If the
750 value of @code{elmo-imap4-default-stream-type} is @code{starttls},
751 STARTTLS will be the default connection.
755 ;; @r{Example: Use SSL connection}
756 (setq elmo-imap4-default-stream-type 'ssl)
760 If you specify @code{login}, @code{cram-md5} or @code{digest-md5} as
761 authentication method, the password is sent in encoded form. But, if
762 your server is unable to receive an encoded password, authentication
763 will fall back to @code{clear} (that is, sending password in raw format)
764 after confirmation to user. If @code{elmo-imap4-force-login} is non-nil,
765 authentication will fall back to @code{clear} without confirmation
766 (default value is @code{nil}).
770 ;; @r{Example: password in raw format}

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

867 @node MH Folder, Maildir Folder, NNTP Folder, Folders
874 A folder to access MH format mail (1 file is 1 mail).
879 @samp{+} @var{directory-name}
882 Normally, @var{directory-name} is an relative path to the variable
883 @code{elmo-localdir-folder-path} (default is @file{~/Mail}), but if it
884 starts with @samp{/} or @samp{~}, then it is treated as an absolute path
885 (this is also true for drive-letters).
887 Message number is used for the name of the message file.
893 +inbox -> @file{~/Mail/inbox}

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

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

977 such as Info-ZIP or LHA, as one folder.
983 @samp{$} @var{path-name} [@samp{;} @var{archiver-type} @samp{;} @var{prefix}]
987 @var{path-name} is the relative path from
988 @code{elmo-archive-folder-path} (initial setting is @file{~/Mail}). If
989 @var{path-name} begins with @samp{/} or @samp{~} or `drive-letter of
990 DOS', @var{path-name} is treated as absolute path. ange-ftp format is
991 also permitted under the environment of ange-ftp, efs.
993 The actual file name of the archive folder is
994 @code{elmo-archive-basename} (Initial setting is @file{elmo-archive})
995 under the @var{path-name}. If a file named @var{path-name} exists, it is
996 treated as folder. The suffix is automatically decided for
999 If @var{archiver-type} is omitted, @code{elmo-archive-default-type}
1000 (Initial setting is @code{zip}) is referred.
1002 @var{prefix} specifies the internal directory structure of the archive.
1003 For example, if the ML server is fml, @file{msend.tar.gz} has a
1004 structure like @file{spool/1}, so you have to specify @samp{spool} as
1011 $teranisi -> @file{~/Mail/teranisi/elmo-archive.zip}
1012 $bsd/freebsd;lha -> @file{~/Mail/bsd/freebsd/elmo-archive.lzh}
1013 $/foo@@server:~/bar;zoo -> @file{~/bar/elmo-archive.zoo} on ftp server
1014 $d:/msend.tar.gz;tgz;spool -> @file{d:/msend.tar.gz}
1015 $ml;zip/ -> Access group consists of archive folders

1038 By default, following archives are supported.
1042 LHA, Info-ZIP/UNZIP, ZOO, RAR ;; full-access
1043 GNU TAR('tgz, 'tar) ;; read-only
1047 If your archiver can include multiple files in one archive, you have a
1048 possibility use it as an archiver of Wanderlust (ARJ/UNARJ, ARC is one
1049 of the candidate. TAR is supported read-only because it cannot delete
1050 file in the archive (@code{mv})).
1052 @command{gzip}, @command{bzip}, @command{bzip2} cannot be used as an
1053 archiver of Wanderlust because they cannot include multiple
1054 files. Archivers that cannot extract files to standard output are also

1105 @cindex Archive Tips
1107 For comfortable migration, usage of @code{wl-summary-archive}
1108 (@pxref{Archive}) or Expire (@pxref{Expire}) is recommended. To treat
1109 archive folders created by expiration, you must set non-nil value to
1110 @code{elmo-archive-treat-file}.
1112 On the OS/2, there is a great difference between Mule2.3(19.28) and Emacs20.2
1113 in processing speed. For comfortable use, Emacs20 is recommended.
1114 (If re-search's performance is the problem, 19.3x or later may be okay.)
1116 If many files are included in one archive,
1117 it takes long time to access the archive folder because
1118 archiver starting overhead is increased (especially LHA).
1119 150-200 messages in one archive is recommended.

1189 @vindex elmo-archive-cmdstr-max-length
1190 The initial setting is 8000.
1192 Max length of command line argument for external archiver program.
1193 Emacs does not have a limit of command line byte length, but some OS
1194 (e.x OS/2) have. It depends on the OS. Archive folder is affected by
1195 this limit because it calls external archiver program directly (not
1196 called via shell). For example, you cannot delete messages if archiver
1197 program must receive larger bytes of arguments to delete. OS/2 have a
1198 command line argument limit of 8190 bytes, so we defined default as 8000
1201 However, you don't have an influence of command line argument limit
1202 if the archiver has `actions' to receive target file information from
1203 standard input (@code{rm-pipe}, @code{mv-pipe}, @code{cat-headers} action).

1597 When you access the pipe folder, messages are automatically transferred
1598 from @var{source-folder} to @var{destination-folder}.
1599 It is convenient if you want to download messages to local disk via POP.
1600 For example, if you specify following

1607 and access it, Wanderlust downloads messages from
1608 @samp{&username@@popserver} to @samp{+inbox} automatically.
1610 On the other hand, if you put @samp{|:} instead of second @samp{|},
1611 then messages are copied to the destination folder (not deleted from

1650 A folder to access internal messages of Wanderlust.
1662 A folder named @samp{'mark} is a special virtual folder which collects
1663 messages which have important mark @samp{$}.
1665 You can review important messages at once after you put important marks
1666 on the messages in the different folders.
1668 In this folder, if you delete message, important mark @samp{$} put on
1669 the message is removed. If you append messages to this folder, the
1670 message will have @samp{$} mark.
1672 (Can't remove important mark @samp{$} on IMAP server from @samp{'mark}
1673 folder. If you want IMAP folder's message remove from @samp{'mark}
1674 folder, remove important mark at IMAP Folder.)
1677 A folder named @samp{'sendlog} is a virtual folder which collects
1678 cached messages which are recoded on @file{~/.elmo/sendlog}.
1679 It might be useful when you forgot to add cc for yourself.
1680 To use this, you should set @code{wl-draft-use-cache} to non-nil
1681 so that sent messages are cached.
1684 You can access cached messages fetched via network by accessing
1685 folders named @samp{'cache/00} - @samp{'cache/1F}. 00 - 1F are
1686 the name of the subdirectories of the cache directory

2105 @cindex Folder, Edit
2106 @cindex Folder, Subscribe
2107 @cindex Folder, Unsubscribe
2109 As described before, subscribed folder list is saved in @file{~/.folders} file.
2110 But you don't have to edit @file{~/.folders} directly.
2111 You can append, delete, edit folders from folder mode.
2113 @subsection Usage (Tips)
2115 @subsubsection Append Folder
2117 @kbd{m a} appends new folder to the folder mode.
2118 @kbd{m g} appends new folder group.
2119 To append new folder to this group, firstly open it,
2120 then execute append command in the next line.
2122 @subsubsection Edit Folder
2124 You can cut folder by @kbd{C-k}, paste by @kbd{C-y}.
2125 Thus, you can change folder position as if you were editing a normal file.
2127 @subsubsection Create Multi Folder.
2131 Type @kbd{m q} to clear @code{wl-fldmgr-cut-entity-list}.
2133 Cut folder by @kbd{C-k} or copy folder by @kbd{M-c}.
2135 Type @kbd{m m}, then you can create multi folder.
2138 @subsubsection Delete Nickname, Filter
2140 You can delete nickname or filter by putting ``''(@var{NULL}) from the
2141 minibuffer while appending.
2143 @subsubsection Append Folder to Empty Group
2145 To append new folder to the empty folder group
2146 (after you create folder group by typing @kbd{m g}),
2147 firstly open it, then execute append command in the next line.
2148 If it is closed, folder is appended on the same level with
2149 the folder group above. It is difficult to explain by words so try it.
2150 In other words, appended position depends on the
2151 open/close status of the upper one.
2153 @subsubsection Charset of the Folders File.
2155 @code{wl-mime-charset} is used for saving @code{wl-folders-file}.
2157 @subsubsection Create Filter
2159 @kbd{m f} adds filter to the folder at the current cursor point. To
2160 create new filter folder and leave the current folder unchanged, copy it
2161 @kbd{M-c}, make filter @kbd{m f} and paste it @kbd{C-y}. Multiple
2162 filter can be specified while appending filter. If you put
2163 ``''(@var{NULL}), filter is deleted.
2165 @subsubsection Sort Folders
2167 Sorting of the folders is executed by the function specified by
2168 @code{wl-fldmgr-sort-function}.
2169 The initial setting is @code{wl-fldmgr-sort-standard},
2170 which sorts alphabetically.
2171 Sorting affects only on the current folder group. It does not
2172 affect on the child groups.
2174 @subsubsection Hiding Folders in the Access Group
2176 Usually, access group displays all children folders, but you can set
2177 some folders hidden. Following operations are only available on access
2180 Command @code{wl-fldmgr-unsubscribe} (@kbd{u}) toggles the visibility
2181 (subscribe/unsubscribe) of the folder at current cursor point. Against
2182 this, @code{wl-fldmgr-unsubscribe-region} (@kbd{U}) hides folders in the
2185 Note that @code{wl-fldmgr-unsubscribe-region} does not toggle while
2186 @code{wl-fldmgr-unsubscribe} toggles. These two commands accept prefix
2187 argument and if the argument has positive number, the unsubscribe it.
2188 If the prefix argument has negative value, folder becomes visible and if
2189 zero, folder visibility is toggled.
2191 The other commands, @code{wl-fldmgr-subscribe} and
2192 @code{wl-fldmgr-subscribe-region} are also prepared (not binded to the
2195 Moreover, if @code{wl-fldmgr-cut} or @code{wl-fldmgr-cut-region} is
2196 executed in the access group, they have a same effect with
2197 @code{wl-fldmgr-unsubscribe} and @code{wl-fldmgr-unsubscribe-region}.
2198 The difference is that cut commands deletes folders from the current
2201 @subsubsection Operations in the Access Group
2203 You can insert and delete folders in the access group like usual folder
2204 group. But insert and delete commands can be only available for the
2205 children folders of the access group and they only sets the subscribe
2206 status. In other words, insertion of the folder means subscribing,
2207 deletion means unsubscribing.
2208 @footnote{In the current implementation,
2209 it is faster to delete region than to unsubscribe region.}
2211 To update the access group when children folders are inserted or deleted
2212 by other way (other than Wanderlust),
2213 open the access group by typing @kbd{C-u @key{RET}}.
2214 @xref{Selecting Folder}.
2216 The order of children folders of access group is saved after
2217 insertion/deletion/sorting.
2218 If you set @code{wl-force-fetch-folders} to non-nil or open access group
2219 by typing @kbd{C-u @key{RET}}, disappeared folders are deleted and
2220 newly created folders are inserted on the top of the access group.

2495 In the summary mode, messages are displayed like following.
2499 377 09/16(Wed)11:57 [+1: Takuro Kitame ] Bug?
2500 381 09/17(Thu)00:16 [+3: Fujikazu Okuni ] elmo-lha.el -- LHA interface

2509 @var{Message number}, @var{Temporal mark}, @var{Persistent mark}, @var{Date}, @var{Sender}, @var{Subject}
2513 If you want to know how to change the format for this, please refer
2514 the section format of Summary lines.
2515 @xref{Summary View}.
2517 @var{Message number} is the message's unique number in the folder. In
2518 the NNTP folder, it is article number, in the IMAP folder, it is UID and
2519 in the MH folder, it is the filename of the message.
2521 @var{Temporal mark} and @var{Persistent mark} are described later.
2523 @var{Date} is displayed like @samp{@var{Month}/@var{Day}(@var{Week
2524 Day})@var{Hour}:@var{Minute}}. Default setting displays week day in
2525 Japanese, but if you want to display it in English, set the value of
2526 @code{wl-summary-weekday-name-lang} as @samp{en}.
2528 @var{Sender}'s indentation corresponds to the depth of the thread.
2529 Sender name is displayed as nickname if it is defined in the address
2530 book. Set @code{wl-use-petname} as @code{nil}, if you want to quit
2531 displaying with nickname.
2533 If number is printed at the head of @var{Sender} part like @samp{+2},
2534 that means the message have 2 follow messages.
2536 @var{Subject} is the @samp{Subject:} header field of the message. If
2537 the message have same @samp{Subject:} with the parent message, it is not
2538 displayed. Some mailing list puts its sequence number in the
2539 @samp{Subject:} field, but it is
2540 ignored. @code{wl-summary-no-subject-message} is displayed when the
2541 message has empty subject field.
2543 @subsection Temporary Marks
2544 @cindex Mark, Temporary
2546 There are four temporary marks,
2547 @samp{*}, @samp{D}, @samp{o} and @samp{O}.
2548 Temporary marks indicates message operations.
2553 You can execute a command on the all messages that have @samp{*} mark,
2554 with the key bindings which begins with @kbd{m}.
2557 The mark to delete. You can put @samp{D} by typing @kbd{d} key.
2561 After you type @kbd{o} key, prompt appears to input refile destination.
2562 Your answer is printed in the summary line.
2566 You can put this mark by typing @kbd{O} key.
2567 The difference between this mark and refile mark is,
2568 this mark does not delete the message while latter does.
2571 @kbd{x} key executes @samp{D}, @samp{o} and @samp{O} marks.
2573 @subsection Persistent Marks
2575 There are five persistent marks,
2576 @samp{N}, @samp{U}, @samp{!}, @samp{u} and @samp{$}.
2578 The persistent mark indicates the message's status and it is saved.
2579 Each persistent mark indicates:
2585 It is unread message.
2587 It is unread but cached message.
2589 It is read but it is not cached.
2591 It is important message. You can put @samp{$} mark by typing @kbd{$}
2592 key (if already exists, the mark is deleted). It is convenient to put
2593 this mark on the messages to remember (If you want to remember to write
2594 a reply for the message, for example) because this mark remains after
2595 you exited Emacs. Messages with the @samp{$} mark can be reviewed in the
2596 @samp{'mark} folder even the message itself is deleted in the actual folder.
2599 If the message is read and cached (or local message),there are no
2603 @samp{N}, @samp{U} and @samp{u} indicates that the message have no
2604 cache. Messages with the marks other than these, you can read them in
2605 the offline status even they are in the IMAP folder or netnews folder.
2607 Among messages with persistent marks, ones with marks specified by
2608 @code{wl-summary-expire-reserve-marks} are excluded from the expiration
2609 (as a function of wanderlust) explained later. @xref{Expire and Archive}.
2611 @subsection How To Read
2613 Basically, you can read messages only typing space key again and again.
2615 To update summary status to the newest status (synchronize),
2618 You can jump to next unread message by typing @kbd{N} key, and @kbd{n} key
2619 moves cursor to the next message.
2620 Enter message buffer by typing @kbd{j} key.
2621 To operate multipart, you have to enter to the message buffer.
2624 @subsection Pack the Message Numbers
2625 You can pack the message numbers in Summary by
2626 @kbd{M-x wl-summary-pack-number}. Note that only MH Folder,
2627 News Spool Folder and Maildir Folder are supported folder types.
2630 @node Thread Operations, Cache, Usage of Summary Mode, Summary
2631 @section Thread Operations
2633 For example, the following line indicates one thread (a context of a topic).
2636 384 09/17(Thu)01:32 [+1: Teranishi ] wl-0.6.2
2640 If you type @kbd{/} on this line, the thread is opened and it changes
2641 the appearance like following.
2645 384 09/17(Thu)01:32 [ Teranishi ] wl-0.6.2
2646 388 09/17(Thu)22:34 +-[ Murata san ]
2650 (Message 388 is the replied message to the message 384.)
2651 If you type @kbd{/} key once again, the thread is closed.
2652 With prefix argument, @kbd{/} opens all children threads.
2654 If you type @kbd{[}, opens all threads in summary. @kbd{]} closes all
2657 Commands with the key binding that begins with @kbd{t} executes commands
2658 on the messages in the thread.
2659 @xref{Key Bindings of Summary}.
2661 @subsection reconstruct thread by hand
2663 You can reconstruct the thread manually. In Summary, @kbd{M-w}
2664 (@code{wl-summary-save-current-message}) at the corresponding message,
2665 and @kbd{C-y} (@code{wl-summary-yank-saved-message}) at the new parent
2666 message then you have the reconstructed thread.
2669 @node Cache, Auto Refile, Thread Operations, Summary
2672 @subsection Cache File
2674 The messages which have to access via network (e.x. IMAP, NNTP folder)
2675 are cached as a local file so as to save network traffic or to enable
2676 off-line operation. The cache file is saved under the directory
2677 @file{~/.elmo/cache}. To expire cache, type @kbd{M-x
2678 elmo-cache-expire-by-size}. The command deletes cache files to the
2679 specified size by the order of last accessed time.
2681 @subsection Buffer Cache and Prefetching
2683 The messages that are read are kept in the cache buffer so as to make
2684 the behavior fast when you are to read the message again. It is called
2685 `buffer cache'. The number of cache buffer is specified by
2686 @code{wl-message-buffer-cache-size}.
2688 There are message prefetching mechanism in the Wanderlust that
2689 prefetches next message while you are reading.
2691 You can control the message prefetching mechanism by these two
2695 @item wl-message-buffer-prefetch-folder-type-list
2696 @vindex wl-message-buffer-prefetch-folder-type-list
2697 The initial setting is @code{t}. In this case, prefetch messages in all
2699 If it is a list of folder types, it specifies the folder types in which
2700 message prefetching is enabled.
2701 Following is an example (prefetch messages in nntp and imap4 folders)
2705 (setq wl-message-buffer-prefetch-folder-type-list
2710 In this case, multi folder that contains localdir and imap4 prefetches
2711 only imap4 messages. This variable precedes the value of
2712 @code{wl-message-buffer-prefetch-folder-list}.
2714 @item wl-message-buffer-prefetch-folder-list
2715 @vindex wl-message-buffer-prefetch-folder-list
2716 The initial setting is @code{nil}.
2717 A list of regexp of folders to enable message prefetching.
2719 @item wl-message-buffer-prefetch-depth
2720 @vindex wl-message-buffer-prefetch-depth
2721 The initial setting is 3. The number of messages for automatical prefetch.
2723 @item wl-message-buffer-prefetch-idle-time
2724 @vindex wl-message-buffer-prefetch-idle-time
2725 The initial setting is 0.2 (in seconds). The period of automatical prefetch.
2727 @item wl-message-buffer-prefetch-threshold
2728 @vindex wl-message-buffer-prefetch-threshold
2729 The initial setting is 30000 (bytes). If prefetching message has larger
2730 size than this value, Wanderlust does not prefetch automatically.
2731 If @code{wl-message-buffer-prefetch-threshold} is @code{nil},
2732 the message is not checked for the size.
2734 @item wl-auto-prefetch-first
2735 @vindex wl-auto-prefetch-first
2736 The initial setting is @code{nil}.
2737 If non-nil, first message is automatically prefetched to the buffer
2738 when you enter the folder.
2742 @node Auto Refile, Sticky Summary, Cache, Summary
2743 @section Auto Refile
2744 @vindex elmo-msgdb-extra-fields
2745 @vindex wl-refile-rule-alist
2746 @findex wl-summary-auto-refile
2748 You can refile messages automatically, by typing @kbd{C-o}
2749 (@code{wl-summary-auto-refile}). It decides destination of refile by
2750 the content of the message header information (information in the msgdb).
2752 By default, @samp{From:}, @samp{Subject:}, @samp{To:} and @samp{Cc:} is
2753 available. If you want to decide destination by other header fields,
2754 set the variable @code{elmo-msgdb-extra-fields} like following.
2758 (setq elmo-msgdb-extra-fields
2768 By this setting, Wanderlust saves extra fields in the msgdb. You have
2769 to type @kbd{s all} to get extra fields for the messages that are
2770 already exists in the summary.
2772 Then, specify the refile rule. The refile target folder of auto
2773 refiling is decided by the value of @code{wl-refile-rule-alist}.
2774 @code{wl-refile-rule-alist} is a list of a rule:
2778 (@var{field} (@var{regexp} . @var{target})
2779 (@var{regexp} . @var{target})
2784 Each rule means `if @var{field} value matches @var{regexp},
2785 then refile to @var{target} folder'.
2786 The rule matched first is applied.
2788 @var{field} is a string of field name. You can specify a list of field name
2789 string, too. In this case, if one of these fields is matched, then the
2790 rule is fired (i.e. OR condition).
2792 @var{regexp} is a regular expression for field value. @var{target} is a target
2793 folder string. You can specify a rule at @var{target} part, too. In this
2794 case, If the field value of the rule and the current rule is matched,
2795 then the current rule is fired (i.e. AND condition).
2797 You can refer matched substring of @var{regexp} to specify @var{target} part.
2798 To refer substring, use following keys:
2802 means substitute original matched text.
2805 means substitute what matched the @var{N}th `\(@dots{}\)'.
2806 (@var{N} is a number.)
2809 Following is an example of @code{wl-refile-rule-alist}.
2813 (setq wl-refile-rule-alist
2815 ("^Wanderlust" . "+wl")
2816 ("^Elisp" . "+elisp"))
2818 ("\\([a-z]+\\)@@gohome\\.org" . "+\\1"))
2820 ("me@@gohome\\.org" . ("To" ("you@@gohome\\.org" .
2821 "+from-me-to-you"))))))
2825 After these settings, refile marks are automatically put on the condition
2826 matched messages by typing @kbd{C-o} (@code{wl-summary-auto-refile}).
2828 Messages which have @code{wl-summary-auto-refile-skip-marks} is skipped
2830 By default, @samp{N}, @samp{U} and @samp{!} is specified, so the messages
2831 with these persistent marks are not automatically refiled.
2832 It means Wanderlust does not execute auto refile on unread messages by
2833 the default setting.
2834 To execute auto refile on all messages, set following.
2837 (setq wl-summary-auto-refile-skip-marks nil)
2841 @node Sticky Summary, Summary View, Auto Refile, Summary
2842 @section Sticky Summary
2843 @cindex Summary, Sticky
2844 @cindex Sticky Summary
2846 The buffer of the `sticky summary' does not killed by typing @kbd{q}.
2848 By entering the summary by typing @kbd{Shift RET} in Folder mode or
2849 @kbd{G} in some suummary sticky summary buffer is created.
2850 Also typing @kbd{M-s} (@code{wl-summary-stick}) on the normal summary
2851 makes current one sticky.
2853 The buffer name of the sticky summary becomes like
2854 @samp{Summary:@var{folder-name}}.
2855 You can visit the sticky summary at any time by @kbd{C-x b}
2856 (@code{switch-to-buffer}), or you can go round summary buffers by
2857 @kbd{C-c C-n} (@code{wl-summary-previous-buffer}) and @kbd{C-c C-p}
2858 (@code{wl-summary-next-buffer}) in summary mode.
2860 In sticky summary, the summary buffer is preserved after @kbd{g} or
2861 @kbd{q}. To delete sticky summary, type @kbd{C-u q} to exit or move to
2862 another summary by @kbd{C-u g}. Other operations in the sticky summary
2863 are same as normal summary.
2865 @code{wl-summary-always-sticky-folder-list} specifies the folders that
2866 are automatically stuck.

2871 @cindex Format of summary lines
2872 You can alter the format of lines in Summary mode.
2874 Summary line format is specified by @code{wl-summary-line-format}.
2875 You can use control strings defined by
2876 @code{wl-summary-line-format-spec-alist}.
2882 ;; @r{number temporary-mark persistent-mark date branch}
2883 ;; @r{[ (number-of-children) sender ] subject}
2884 (setq wl-summary-line-format "%n%T%P%M/%D(%W) %t%[%17(%c %f%) %] %s")
2888 Where the number set the column number of the field (for negative value,
2891 Major control strings defined by @code{wl-summary-line-format-spec-alist}
2892 are displayed in the following list.
2903 %t branch of the thread
2904 %[ [ (< for re-connected child)
2905 %] ] (> for re-connected child)
2909 %c +number-of-children: (display only for opened thread)
2910 %C [+number-of-children] (display only for opened thread)
2911 %T temporary mark (mandatory)
2912 %P persistent mark (mandatory)
2916 @code{wl-summary-line-format} must contain temporary mark (@samp{%T})
2917 and persistent mark (@samp{%P}). Furthermore, these marks must appear at
2918 the constant column. For example, if you specify @samp{%T} or
2919 @samp{%P} after the @samp{%t}, which changes its length by thread
2920 position, marks are not treated correctly.
2922 If the format string is enclosed by @samp{%number(} and @samp{%)}, the
2923 column of the enclosed region is justified to the `number'. Multiple
2924 level @samp{%number(} parenthesis can be defined. It is useful to
2925 justify the column of the multiple control strings. For example, in the
2926 above @code{wl-summary-line-format},
2932 means ``Adjust number-of-children and sender string to the 17 column''.
2934 You can specify the format by each folders with
2935 @code{wl-folder-summary-line-format-alist}. Please set regular
2936 expression for folder names and summary line format as the following
2941 (setq wl-folder-summary-line-format-alist
2942 '(("^%" . "%T%P%M/%D(%W)%h:%m %t%[%17(%c %f%) %] %s")
2943 ("^+" . "%n%T%P%M/%D %[ %17f %] %t%C%s")))
2947 @subsection on the format for sender name
2949 The format string @samp{%f} displays the return value of the function specified
2950 by @code{wl-summary-from-function}. If you use the function
2951 @code{wl-summary-default-from} (default), it displays sender name ordinarily,
2952 while displays the recipient names if the folder name matches with
2953 @code{wl-summary-showto-folder-regexp} and the sender is yourself.
2954 If the value of @code{wl-use-petname} is Non-nil, it uses petname to display.
2956 For example, to display recipient names for the message in @samp{+backup} if
2957 its sender is yourself, set up as follows.

4193 message will automatically modified depending on information of header
4196 The initial setting of @code{wl-draft-config-alist} is @code{nil}.
4198 In the example below, the header is modified when
4199 @code{wl-draft-send-and-exit} or @code{wl-draft-send} is invoked. You
4200 can set @code{wl-interactive-send} to non-nil so as to confirm changes
4201 before sending the message.
4205 (setq wl-draft-config-alist

4215 ;; @r{you can write elisp expressions here (eval only)}
4216 (top . "Hello.\n") ;; @r{inserted at the top of the body}
4217 (bottom . "\nBye.\n") ;; @r{inserted at the bottom of the body}
4222 The format of @code{wl-draft-config-alist} is:
4226 '(("@var{regexp of the header}" or @var{elisp expression}
4227 ("@var{Field}" . value(@var{elisp expression}))
4228 (@var{variable} . value(@var{elisp expression}))

4232 ("@var{regexp of the header}" or @var{elisp expression}
4233 ("@var{Field}" . value(@var{elisp expression}))
4238 Per default, there are 10 following sub-functions.
4241 'header: Inserts the specified string at the bottom of the header.
4242 'header-top: Inserts the specified string at the top of the header.
4243 'header-file: Inserts the specified file at the bottom of the header.
4244 'x-face: Inserts @samp{X-Face:} field with the content of the specified file.
4245 'top: Inserts the specified string at the top of the body.
4246 'top-file: Inserts the specified file at the top of the body.
4247 'body: Replaces the body with the specified string.
4248 Specifying @code{nil} deletes the entire body string.
4249 'body-file: Replaces the body with the content of the specified file.
4250 'bottom: Inserts the specified string at the bottom of the body.
4251 'bottom-file: Inserts the specified file at the top of the body.
4252 'part-top: Inserts the specified string at the top of the current part.
4253 'part-bottom: Inserts the specified string at the bottom of the current part.
4254 'template: Applies the specified template.
4255 (refer to the next subsection)
4258 These are defined in @code{wl-draft-config-sub-func-alist} and you can
4259 change them or add your own functions. If you read the code, you can
4260 easily find how to write the functions.
4262 At the first of each item, @var{a regular expression of the header} or
4263 an @var{elisp expression} should be specified. In the case of an elisp
4264 expression, the item is applied when the expression is evaluated
4267 Per default, when multiple items match or are evaluated non-nil, all
4268 such items are applied, but if you set a variable
4269 @code{wl-draft-config-matchone} to @code{t}, only the first matching one
4272 At the second of the item, a cons or a list of functions should be
4273 specified. The car part of the cons should be a header field, a
4274 variable, or a sub-function. When a header field is specified, the
4275 field will be modified. If a variable is specified, the value of the
4276 variable will be modified temporarily.
4278 In the cdr part of a cons, not only a variable but also an elisp
4279 expression can be specified as is. If the car part is a header field
4280 and the cdr part is @code{nil}, the field will be deleted.
4282 See the next example as well:
4286 (setq wl-draft-config-alist
4288 "X-ML-Name: \\(Wanderlust\\|emacs-mime-ja\\|apel-ja\\)"
4289 ;; @r{applied if it matches the header of the buffer being replied}
4290 (body . " Hello.\n")
4291 (template . "default")
4296 As in the (1) above, if a header regexp is prepended with @code{reply},
4297 it is applied when the draft is prepared by @code{wl-summary-reply} for
4298 example, and when it matches the header being replied. It is ignored
4299 when there is no buffer being replied, like after @code{wl-draft} was
4302 If you want to use name of parent folder, you can refer the buffer local
4303 variable @code{wl-draft-parent-folder}. In the following example, Wanderlust
4304 changes From according to the folder name of the summary in which the draft
4309 (setq wl-draft-config-alist
4310 '(((string-match \".*@@domain1$\" wl-draft-parent-folder)
4311 (\"From\" . \"user@@domain1\"))
4312 ((string-match \".*@@domain2$\" wl-draft-parent-folder)
4313 (\"From\" . \"user@@domain2\"))))
4318 Note that @code{wl-draft-config-alist} is applied only once when
4319 @code{wl-draft-send-and-exit} or @code{wl-draft-send} is invoked.
4320 Therefore, if you want to apply @code{wl-draft-config-alist} again after
4321 aborting transmission, execute @kbd{C-c C-e}
4322 (@code{wl-draft-config-exec}) explicitly.
4324 If you don't want to apply @code{wl-draft-config-alist} when
4325 @code{wl-draft-send-and-exit} or @code{wl-draft-send} is invoked,
4329 (remove-hook 'wl-draft-send-hook 'wl-draft-config-exec)
4332 If you want to apply @code{wl-draft-config-alist} when a draft buffer is
4333 prepared, do the following:
4336 (add-hook 'wl-mail-setup-hook 'wl-draft-config-exec)
4339 If you want to apply @code{wl-draft-config-alist} when you re-edit a mail
4340 from summary mode by typing @kbd{E}(@code{wl-summary-reedit}), do the
4344 (add-hook 'wl-draft-reedit-hook 'wl-draft-config-exec)

4353 @kbd{M-x wl-template-select} in the draft buffer.
4355 The format of @code{wl-template-alist} is almost the same as
4356 @code{wl-draft-config-alist}.
4360 (setq wl-template-alist
4363 ("Organization" . "Example Co.Ltd.")
4364 (body . "Hello.\n"))

4367 ("To" . "boss@@example.com")
4368 ("Subject" . "Report")
4369 (body-file . "~/work/report.txt")
4375 As you can see, the only difference is item (template) names such as
4376 @samp{default} and @samp{report}, instead of a regexp of header.
4377 Because definition of each item is the same as
4378 @code{wl-draft-config-alist}, you can call another template, like (a).
4380 Executing the command @code{wl-template-select} results in template
4381 selection, but the result differs depending on variable
4382 @code{wl-template-visible-select}.
4384 If @code{wl-template-visible-select} is @code{t} (default), a buffer
4385 window is shown below the draft buffer. You can select a template by
4386 @kbd{n} and @kbd{p} seeing the buffer window.
4388 Press the @key{RET} key and the template is actually applied to the draft
4389 buffer. If you press @kbd{q}, nothing is applied. In addition, you can
4390 adjust the window size by @code{wl-template-buffer-lines}.
4392 If @code{wl-template-visible-select} is @code{nil}, you should type the
4393 name of the template in the mini buffer.
4395 As shown in the example in @code{wl-draft-config-alist}, you can select

5059 these off-line operations for IMAP4 and NNTP do not take place, and
5060 off-line re-file, copy or suchlike simply results in error.
5062 Because off-line operations use cache files, it is a bad idea to erase
5063 them by hand; it may cause Wanderlust to malfunction.
5065 If you want to remove caches, be sure to execute @kbd{M-x

5073 @kbd{M-t} described above switches networking states as a whole, but you
5074 can switch on-line/off-line per server/port.

5111 and ports, where @samp{[ON]} stands for on-line and @samp{[--]} for
5112 off-line (in XEmacs or Emacs 21, they are shown with icons). Pressing
5113 @kbd{@key{SPC}} or @kbd{@key{RET}} in each line switches its state.
5115 @dfn{sending queue} means messages accumulated in the folder

5129 @code{wl-plugged} is changed, so that the mode line indicator and
5130 plugged states of all ports are affected. If you change plugged states
5131 of any servers or ports, @samp{(wl-plugged)} in the second line is

5264 Expiration means deletion of old messages which have outlasted a
5265 certain period of time.
5267 @code{wl-expire} supports not only simple deletion, but also moving to
5268 specified archiving folders.
5272 Configure @code{wl-expire-alist} and press @kbd{e} in the folder mode,
5273 or @kbd{M-e} in the summary mode.
5275 @subsection Configuring @code{wl-expire-alist}
5277 An example configuration of @code{wl-expire-alist} is shown below.
5278 Everything in this @code{wl-expire-alist} makes a great difference in
5279 expiration, so be careful. I advise you to set @code{wl-expire-use-log}
5280 to @code{t}, especially in the initial stage.

5303 Items in the list has the format of:
5306 (@var{regexp-for-folders} @var{specification-of-messages-to-be-deleted} @var{destination})
5310 The folder is examined if it matches @var{regexp-for-folders} from the
5311 beginning of the list. If you invoke expiration on the folder that does
5312 not match any of them, nothing will happen. And if either the second or
5313 the third element of the item is @code{nil}, expiration will not take
5316 You can use any one of the following for
5317 @var{specification-of-message-to-be-deleted}:
5320 @item (number @var{n1} [@var{n2}])
5321 deletes messages depending on the number of messages in the folder.
5323 @var{n1} is the number of messages which should survive deletion, for example
5324 if its value is 500, the newest 500 messages survive and the rests are
5327 @var{n2} is the number of messages in the folder on which expiration should
5328 take place, which defaults to @var{n1} + 1. For example if its value is 510,
5329 folders with 510 or more messages are expired.
5330 If you configured automatic expiration, frequently used folders may
5331 expire every time it receive messages, and you may be annoyed with the
5332 long delay in reading mail.
5333 In that case, you can set a wide margin between @var{n2} and @var{n1}, so that
5334 expiration would not take place until a certain number of messages
5337 Messages with marks in @code{wl-summary-expire-reserve-marks} (marked
5338 with important/new/unread) are not deleted.
5339 If @code{wl-expire-number-with-reserve-marks} is non-nil, the folder
5340 will expire so as to have 500 messages including such ones.
5341 Otherwise, it will have 500 messages except such ones.
5343 @item (date @var{d1})
5344 deletes messages depending on the dates.
5346 Messages dated @var{d1} or more days ago are deleted, for example if its
5347 value is seven, messages seven days old or more are deleted. Note that
5348 the date is the one in the @samp{Date:} field of the message, not when
5349 the message entered the folder.
5351 Messages with no or invalid @samp{Date:} field does not expire; you
5352 might have to delete them by hand.
5355 You can use any one of the following in the place of @var{destination}:
5359 deletes the messages instantly.
5362 hide the messages from summary (messages are not deleted).
5365 moves the messages to @code{wl-trash-folder}.
5367 @item @var{string}(folder)
5368 moves the messages to the folder specified with @var{string}.
5370 It would be useful for specifying an archiving folder, but because this
5371 does not move important messages, it might be better to use the
5372 standard functions described below.
5374 @item @var{function}
5375 invokes the specified @var{function}.
5377 To the @var{function}, three arguments are passed: a folder name, a list
5378 of messages to be deleted, and msgdb information of the summary. You
5379 can specify function-specific arguments after the name of the
5380 @var{function}. Note that the list contains messages with marks in
5381 @code{wl-summary-expire-reserve-marks}, be careful in writing your own
5384 These are four standard functions; three of them move messages to an archive
5385 folder in the specified way. This means old messages can be compressed
5386 and saved in a file, being deleted from the original folder.
5387 The last one divides messages to some MH folders.
5390 @item wl-expire-archive-number1
5391 re-files to archiving folders corresponding to the message numbers of
5392 the messages being deleted. For example, a message numbered 102 will be
5393 re-filed to @file{wl-00100.zip}, 390 to @file{wl-00300.zip}, and so on.
5394 If @code{wl-expire-archive-files} is 200, messages will be re-filed to
5395 @file{wl-00000.zip}, @file{wl-00200.zip}, @file{wl-00400.zip}, @dots{}.
5397 The archiving folders to which messages are re-filed are determined by
5398 the name of the folder as follows (in this case, archiving folders are
5399 handled as if @code{elmo-archive-treat-file} were non-nil).
5402 @item If the folder type is localdir:
5403 @file{@var{ArchiveDir}/@var{foldername}-xxxxx.zip}
5405 For example, @samp{+ml/wl} corresponds to @samp{$ml/wl;zip}
5406 (@file{~/Mail/ml/wl-00100.zip}).
5408 @item The folder type is other than localdir:
5409 @file{@var{ArchiveDir}/@var{foldertype}/@var{foldername}-xxxxx.zip}
5411 For example, @samp{%#mh/ml/wl} corresponds to
5412 @samp{$imap4/#mh/ml/wl;zip} (@file{~/Mail/imap4/#mh/ml/wl-00100.zip}).
5415 As you can see, in the case of localdir, the folder type is not included
5416 in the path name, but otherwise it is included.
5417 And you can control the prefix to the archiving folder name by
5418 @code{wl-expire-archive-folder-prefix}.
5419 Refer to @code{wl-expire-archive-folder-prefix} for details.
5421 @item wl-expire-archive-number2
5422 re-files every certain number of messages to archiving folders.
5424 This differs from @samp{wl-expire-archive-number1} in that this re-files
5425 to the folder up to the specified number regardless of message numbers.
5426 The archiving folders to which messages are re-filed are determined in the
5427 same way as @code{wl-expire-archive-number1}.
5429 @item wl-expire-archive-date
5430 re-files messages depending on its date (year and month) to archive
5433 For example, a message dated December 1998 is re-filed to
5434 @code{$folder-199812;zip}. The name of the archiving folders except the
5435 date part are determined in the same way as
5436 @code{wl-expire-archive-number1}.
5439 You can set the first argument to these three standard functions to non-nil
5440 in @code{wl-expire-alist} so as to retain message numbers in the folder.
5441 For example, it can be specified just after the name of the function:
5444 ("^\\+ml/wl$" (number 300 310) wl-expire-archive-number1 t)
5447 If you omit the argument, consecutive numbers from 1 are assigned for
5448 each archiving folder.
5450 @item wl-expire-localdir-date
5451 divedes messages depending on its date (year and month) to MH folders
5452 e.g. to @samp{+ml/wl/1999_11/}, @samp{+ml/wl/1999_12/}.
5456 @subsection Treatment for Important or Unread Messages
5458 If you specify any of @code{remove}, @code{trash}, a folder name, or a
5459 standard function, messages with marks in
5460 @code{wl-summary-expire-reserve-marks} (which are called @dfn{reserved
5461 messages} thereafter) are retained.
5463 Per default, this variable include the important, new, and unread marks,
5464 so that messages with these marks are not removed.
5465 Note that you cannot include the temporary mark (i.e. temporary marks
5466 are removed anyway), and be sure to process temporary marks before you
5469 @subsection Auto Expiration
5471 The following setup invokes expiration when you move into the summary
5472 mode. There will be no confirmation, so make sure you made no mistake
5473 in regexp and other settings before you set up this.
5477 (add-hook 'wl-summary-prepared-pre-hook 'wl-summary-expire)
5481 In the folder mode, you can invoke expiration per group as well as per
5482 folder. Therefore, if you specify @samp{Desktop} group, all folders
5483 matching @code{wl-expire-alist} expire.
5487 @subsection Treating archive folders.
5488 To treat archive folders created by @code{wl-expire-archive-number1} and so on,
5489 you must set non-nil value to @code{elmo-archive-treat-file}.
5491 @subsection Confirming
5493 If you are to use @code{remove}, try @code{trash} at first and see
5494 messages move to @code{wl-trash-folder} as expected, then replace it
5495 with @code{remove}. It would be dangerous to use @code{remove} from the
5498 If you are to use @code{wl-expire-archive-number1} and the like, try to
5499 make a folder of the archiver type (@code{zip} or @code{lha}) and see if
5500 you can append messages to it. Even if settings in
5501 @code{wl-expire-alist} and @code{elmo-archive} are correct, messages
5502 would not be saved anywhere and disappeared in case the archiver program
5505 After you make sure you can archive to the folder correctly, you can
5506 invoke expiration and utilize the log.
5508 If you set @code{wl-expire-use-log} to @code{t},
5509 @file{~/.elmo/expired-log} should contain the log, for example:
5513 delete +ml/wl (593 594 595 596 597 598 599)
5514 move +ml/wl -> $ml/wl-00600;tgz;wl (600 601 602)
5518 The first column indicates the operation, i.e. @samp{delete},
5519 @samp{copy}, or @samp{move}. The next is the name of the folder that
5520 expired. In the case of @samp{copy} and @samp{move}, the destination
5521 folder is recorded after @samp{->}. The last is the list of message
5522 numbers that are actually deleted or moved (in the case of @samp{copy}
5523 and @samp{move}, the number is the one in the source folder, rather than
5524 the destination folder).
5526 @subsection Re-filing Reserved Messages
5528 The three standard functions copy reserved messages to the archive
5529 folder, but do not delete them from the source folder. Because
5530 reserved messages and the like always remain, they are recorded in
5531 @file{~/.elmo/expired-alist} so that they are not copied over and over
5532 again. They are not recorded if copied by @code{wl-summary-archive}.
5534 If you enabled logging, usually @samp{move} is recorded for re-filing,
5535 but instead @samp{copy} and @samp{delete} are recorded separately if
5536 reserved messages are involved. This is because it actually copies
5537 messages including reserved, then deletes ones except reserved in that

5756 other than the following points:
5759 @item No messages are deleted
5760 @item Message numbers are retained even if invoked without arguments
5763 These functions are good to archive all messages in a folder by their
5764 numbers or by their dates.
5765 These are also useful for backup or confirmation purposes before

5770 Per default, the archiving folders to which messages are copied are
5771 determined automatically by @code{wl-expire-archive-get-folder-function}.
5772 You can copy to a specific folder by invoking with a prefix argument,

5818 Scoring is the function that associates a score (value) with each
5819 message, and marks as read or deletes from the summary according to it.
5821 You can put target or important marks on essential messages, or read marks
5822 on the ones you do not want to read, for example spam articles.
5824 This scoring function has a capability and a format similar to the one
5825 that Gnus has, although there are some unsupported features and

5837 @cindex Score Commands
5839 @subsection Score File Specification
5841 @code{wl-score-folder-alist} specifies score files or variables in which
5842 scores are defined, corresponding to folder names.
5846 (setq wl-score-folder-alist
5855 If paths to the score files are omitted, the directory specified in the
5856 variable @code{wl-score-files-directory} is assumed.
5858 No matter what you write in @code{wl-score-folder-alist}, the default
5859 score file @code{wl-score-default-file} (@file{all.SCORE}) is always
5860 read (it does not have to exist).
5861 Therefore, in the example above, the three score files,
5862 @file{news.SCORE}, @file{my.SCORE}, and @file{all.SCORE} are read for
5863 the folders that matches @samp{^-.*}.
5865 @subsection Scored Messages
5867 Scores are attached to the messages that are specified by
5868 @code{wl-summary-score-marks} temporarily when the summary is updated;
5869 when you exit from the summary, the scores are removed and reverts to
5872 @subsection Creation of Score Files
5874 In the summary buffer, move to an appropriate message and type @kbd{L}.
5875 Then type @kbd{s}, @kbd{s}, and @kbd{p} at a prompt in a mini-buffer.
5876 The string in Subject is presented. Edit it and press @kbd{@key{RET}}.
5878 This makes @minus{}1000 are scored for messages with the same
5879 @samp{Subject:} as the string you entered. That is, such a score file
5880 is created automatically.
5882 Then, try typing @kbd{h} and @kbd{e} in the same summary buffer.
5883 The score file you just made appears.
5884 This buffer is called @dfn{score editing buffer} thereafter.
5885 When you type @kbd{C-c C-e} in it, you are prompted in the mini-buffer
5886 as you are previously; type @kbd{a}. Then a score entry for "From"
5888 In this way, you can create a score file easily either in the summary
5889 buffer or in the score editing buffer.
5891 By the way, you might be aware the numbers of key strokes are different
5892 between @kbd{s s p} and @kbd{a}.
5893 This is determined by @code{wl-score-header-default-entry}.
5894 This variable specifies the default score entries corresponding to
5896 For example, for "subject" field, a type and a time limit are prompted,
5897 but for "from" field, they are fixed upon automatically as substring and
5898 permanent respectively.
5899 However, score values can be modified by the prefix argument.
5900 Typing @kbd{?} at the mini-buffer shows a help on keys and corresponding
5903 At last, type @kbd{C-c C-c} in the score editing buffer. This saves the
5904 score file and terminates the edit mode. Typing @kbd{C-c C-c} after
5905 erasing contents of the buffer deletes the score file being edited.
5909 @subsubsection Selecting Score Files
5911 You can change score files to which scores are appended by
5912 @code{wl-summary-increase-score} and @code{wl-summary-lower-score} by
5913 @code{wl-score-change-score-file}.
5915 @subsubsection Summing Up the Score
5917 If you add the same entries by @code{wl-summary-increase-score},
5918 @code{wl-summary-lower-score}, and @code{wl-score-edit-insert-entry},
5919 scores for the entry is summed up.
5921 For example, if you create @samp{from} entry with the score of @minus{}1000 by
5922 @kbd{L a} and again @samp{from} with @minus{}200, one entry with the score of
5923 @minus{}1200 will be created as a result.
5925 @subsubsection Creating Thread Key
5927 Creating @samp{Thread} key by @code{wl-summary-increase-score} or
5928 @code{wl-summary-lower-score} appends @samp{Message-ID} of all children.
5930 @subsubsection Creating Followup Key
5932 Creating @samp{Followup} key by @code{wl-summary-increase-score} or
5933 @code{wl-summary-lower-score} appends @samp{Message-ID} of the message
5934 at the cursor to @samp{References} key.

6210 @code{R}, @code{S}, @code{E}, and @code{F} are case sensitive.
6213 For these keys, the following five numerical relative operators can be

6357 One line defines one persons description.
6359 Actually, in default setup, @var{nickname} is used in summary-mode and
6360 @var{realname} is used in draft preparation mode. This behavior is
6361 better understood if you try it and confirmed the function first. You
6362 can write and try a small definition, so you will know the idea of the
6363 address book before writing a big one.
6365 And, if MH alias file is specified in variable @code{wl-alias-file},
6366 it is used as an address information in the draft preparation mode.
6368 If variable @code{wl-use-ldap} is non-nil (initial setting is
6369 @code{nil}), address completion in draft mode uses LDAP information.
6371 If you use LDAP, you have to set @code{wl-ldap-server},
6372 @code{wl-ldap-port} and @code{wl-ldap-base} properly. If your emacs does
6373 not have LDAP feature as built-in feature (Currently only XEmacs can
6374 have built-in LDAP feature), you have to set command exec @env{PATH} to
6375 the program @command{ldapsearch}.

7079 ("From" . (("From") ("To" "Cc") ("Newsgroups")))
7082 Copy parent's @samp{From} to @samp{To} in the draft, parent's @samp{To} and
7083 @samp{Cc} to @samp{Cc}, parent's @samp{Newsgroups} to @samp{Newsgroups}
7086 These are evaluated in order and first matched one is used.
7088 Moreover, the behavior of @kbd{a} with prefix argument can
7089 be directed by @code{wl-draft-reply-with-argument-list} as well.
7091 By the way, you can use some function (will be evaluated in the parent
7092 message buffer) in the place of @samp{key} or @samp{to-list} etc.
7093 For example, if you only want to reply to mailing lists in
7094 @code{wl-subscribed-mailing-list} if the parent has some of them,
7099 (defun wl-mailing-list-addresses ()
7103 (nth 1 (std11-extract-address-components addr)))
7106 (elmo-multiple-fields-body-list (list "To" "Cc"))
7108 (when (elmo-string-matched-member to wl-subscribed-mailing-list t)
7109 (setq list-addrs (cons to list-addrs))))
7110 (nreverse list-addrs)))
7112 (setq wl-draft-reply-with-argument-list
7113 '((wl-mailing-list-addresses . (wl-mailing-list-addresses nil nil))
7114 ("Reply-To" . (("Reply-To") nil nil))
7115 ("Mail-Reply-To" . (("Mail-Reply-To") nil nil))
7116 ("From" . (("From") nil nil))))
7121 Note: To set the behavior when you reply to the message written by yourself,
7122 use @code{wl-draft-reply-myself-without-argument-list} and
7123 @code{wl-draft-reply-myself-with-argument-list} instead of them.

7613 According to a dictionary, Wanderlust has the meaning:
7617 n eager longing for or impulse towards travelling in distant lands
7618 [Ger, fr wandern to wander + lust desire, pleasure]
7622 but I had no profound intention. (if farfetched, IMAP @result{} you can
7623 read mail anywhere @result{} desire to wander ?)
7625 Elmo is the abbreviation of @samp{Elisp Library for Message
7626 Orchestration}. At first I meant the red puppet in the Sesame Street,
7627 but you may associate it with Wandering @result{} Drifting @result{}
7628 Guidepost @result{} St.@: Elmo's fire @result{} elmo.
7632 Each versions has code names (they are almost jokes).
7633 Currently they are picked up alphabetically from the top 40 hits of
