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

218 @node MIME Modules, Download, Start Me Up, Start Me Up
219 @section Installing MIME modules
225 You must install SEMI beforehand to use Wanderlust.
227 SEMI can be downloaded from following site:
231 SEMI: ftp://ftp.m17n.org/pub/mule/semi/
235 You need packages named APEL and FLIM to use SEMI.
236 You can download APEL and FLIM from following URLs:
240 APEL: ftp://ftp.m17n.org/pub/mule/apel/
241 FLIM: ftp://ftp.m17n.org/pub/mule/flim/
245 You have to install APEL, FLIM and SEMI in this order. Generally,
246 @samp{make install} will do the job. (In XEmacs 21, @samp{make
249 Refer to the documents of each package for detailed installation
250 procedure @footnote{If you want to use SEMI on Emacs 19.34. @*
251 @uref{http://www.jpl.org/elips/INSTALL-SEMI-ja.html} (In Japanese)
255 Recommended combination of APEL, FLIM and SEMI are following:
258 @item APEL 10.6, FLIM 1.14.6 and SEMI 1.14.6
261 You can also use many other FLIM/SEMI variants. Combination of the
262 latest versions should work. For example, the following combination are
266 @item APEL 10.6, SLIM 1.14.9, SEMI 1.14.5
267 @item APEL 10.6, CLIME 1.14.5, EMIKO 1.14.1
270 You have to re-install Wanderlust if you upgraded APEL, FLIM or SEMI.
273 @node Download, Install, MIME Modules, Start Me Up
274 @section Download and Extract the Package
277 You can download Wanderlust package from following sites:
281 ftp://ftp.gohome.org/wl/
284 Mirrored ftp/http sites:
288 @c ftp://ftp.jaist.ac.jp/pub/GNU/elisp/ftp.gohome.org/wl/
289 http://www.jpl.org/elips/wl/
290 http://www.ring.gr.jp/archives/text/elisp/wl/
291 ftp://ftp.ring.gr.jp/pub/text/elisp/wl/
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 handle shimbun folders or to use BBDB, add directory
367 where emacs-w3m or BBDB is installed to @code{load-path}. Then necessary
368 modules will be byte-compiled and installed.
369 @xref{Shimbun Folder}, @xref{BBDB}.
371 @subsection @file{WL-CFG}
373 Contents of the file @file{WL-CFG} is loaded under installation if a file
374 with that name exists in extracted directory. You can use @file{WL-CFG} to
375 configure @code{load-path} to extra packages such as SEMI if needed.
377 If you want to specify the install directory of Wanderlust related
378 files, then set following variables in @file{WL-CFG}
382 A directory to install WL modules.
383 This directory is relative directory from @code{LISPDIR}.
384 WL modules include @file{wl*.el}, @file{wl*.elc} files.
385 @c Modules under the directory @file{util/} are also installed if
386 @c it detected as necessary.
389 A directory to install ELMO modules.
390 This directory is relative directory from @code{LISPDIR}.
391 ELMO modules include @file{elmo*.el}, @file{elmo*.elc} files.
392 @c @file{utf7.el}, @file{utf7.elc} are also included in the ELMO.
396 Default value of @code{WL_PREFIX} and @code{ELMO_PREFIX} are @file{wl}.
398 If you want to install ELMO related files under a sub-directory
399 such as "elmo" then add following to @file{WL-CFG}:
402 (setq ELMO_PREFIX "elmo")
405 @subsection Install as a XEmacs package
406 @cindex XEmacs package
407 @cindex XEmacs package install
408 @cindex Package, XEmacs
409 @cindex Package install, XEmacs
410 @c @cindex install-package
412 It is possible to install Wanderlust as one of packages of XEmacs (21.0
413 or later). Configuration for autoload and icon-path in local
414 @file{~/.emacs} files are no longer necessary, if you install Wanderlust
417 Follow the next example to install Wanderlust as an XEmacs package.
423 % make install-package
427 package directory is auto-probed, if SEMI is installed.
428 (you can also specify it with @code{PACKAGEDIR} in @file{Makefile})
430 @subsection Run in place
432 If wl and elmo directories are defined in @code{load-path}, then
433 byte-compilation and installation are not necessary to start Wanderlust.
434 For example, if package is extracted in @file{~/work}, Wanderlust can be
435 invoked with following setting in @file{~/.emacs}.
439 (add-to-list 'load-path "~/work/wl-@var{version}/wl")
440 (add-to-list 'load-path "~/work/wl-@var{version}/elmo")
446 Manual is described in Info format. Please do following.
455 If you install Wanderlust as a XEmacs package, Info file is already
456 installed too, so there are no need of these commands.
458 Manual directory is automatically detected. Of course, it can be
459 configured by @code{INFODIR} in @file{Makefile}.
461 You can read manual at the following URL:
464 http://www.gohome.org/wl/doc/wl_toc.html
467 @node Minimal Settings, Folder Definition, Install, Start Me Up
468 @section Set up .emacs
469 @cindex Minimal Settings
471 @cindex Configuration
475 The Wanderlust package contains two module groups.
478 @item ELMO (elmo-*.el)
479 These modules show everything as folders. This is the back-end for WL.
481 These modules controls the behavior of main body of Wanderlust.
482 They are also the front-end for ELMO.
485 You can customize the behavior of Wanderlust by changing the value
486 of environmental variables which begins with @code{elmo-} and @code{wl-}.
488 The minimal requirement for settings is as the following.
492 ;; @r{autoload configuration}
493 ;; @r{(Not required if you have installed Wanderlust as XEmacs package)}
494 (autoload 'wl "wl" "Wanderlust" t)
495 (autoload 'wl-other-frame "wl" "Wanderlust on new frame." t)
496 (autoload 'wl-draft "wl-draft" "Write draft with Wanderlust." t)
498 ;; @r{Directory where icons are placed.}
499 ;; @r{Default: the peculiar value to the running version of Emacs.}
500 ;; @r{(Not required if the default value points properly)}
501 (setq wl-icon-directory "~/work/wl/etc")
503 ;; @r{SMTP server for mail posting. Default: @code{nil}}
504 (setq wl-smtp-posting-server "your.smtp.example.com")
505 ;; @r{NNTP server for news posting. Default: @code{nil}}
506 (setq wl-nntp-posting-server "your.nntp.example.com")
510 @file{~/.wl} is automatically loaded when Wanderlust starts up (if such a
511 file exists). So it is convenient to gather Wanderlust specific settings
512 in @file{~/.wl}. Settings for "face" must be written in @file{~/.wl},
513 because you can't write them in @file{.emacs}
514 (if you write it to @file{.emacs}, you'll get an error).
517 All above described settings except autoload configuration can be written
520 @subsection @code{mail-user-agent}
521 @cindex Default Mailer
522 @cindex Mailer, Default
523 @vindex mail-user-agent
526 If you write following setting in your @file{~/.emacs}, you can
527 start Wanderlust draft mode by typing @kbd{C-x m} (@code{compose-mail}).
528 This means it enables you to run Wanderlust as a default mail composer
531 It is effective only when your Emacs can define @code{mail-user-agent}.
532 @xref{Mail Methods, , ,emacs, The Emacs Editor}.
536 (autoload 'wl-user-agent-compose "wl-draft" nil t)
537 (if (boundp 'mail-user-agent)
538 (setq mail-user-agent 'wl-user-agent))
539 (if (fboundp 'define-mail-user-agent)
540 (define-mail-user-agent

551 @node Folder Definition, Start Wanderlust, Minimal Settings, Start Me Up
552 @section Folder Definition
553 @cindex Folder Definition
556 You can skip this section because it is possible to add/edit the
557 subscribe folders from the buffer for list of folders.
558 @xref{Folder Manager}.
560 Define the folders you want to subscribe in file @file{~/.folders}. The
561 contents written in @file{~/.folders} become the folders which you
562 subscribe to as it is.
564 Format for @file{~/.folders} is very simple. Here is an example:
569 # @r{Lines begin with @samp{#} are comment.}
570 # @r{Empty lines are ignored}
572 # @var{folder name} "@var{folder nickname}"
573 # @r{(nicknames are not necessary)}
578 %#mh/Backup@@my.imap.example.com "Sent"
581 %#mh/spool/wl "Wanderlust ML"
582 %#mh/spool/elips "ELIPS ML"
583 %#mh/spool/apel-ja "APEL Japanese ML"
584 %#mh/spool/xemacs-beta "XEmacs beta"
585 -fj.news.reader.gnus@@other.nntp.example.com "Gnus Net news"
586 *-fj.editor.xemacs,-fj.editor.mule,-fj.editor.emacs "fj's Emacsen"
589 # @r{If folder name ends with @samp{/}, that means an `access group',}
590 # @r{all subfolders automatically included in one folder group.}
592 %#mh/expire@@localhost /
593 # @r{All MH folders are included in one folder group.}
598 Each line contains one folder you want to read. The definition of
599 folders will be explained in detail in the next section.
601 The part surrounded by @samp{@var{group name}@{} and @samp{@}} will
602 become one folder group. One folder group is treated as a directory
603 which can be opened and closed in folder mode. It is convenient for
604 collecting some folders and putting them in order.
606 Please note that @samp{@var{group name}@{} and @samp{@}} occupies one
607 line and you have to write it that way (It is because the parser sucks).
609 There are two types of groups. One is like @samp{Emacsen} from above
610 example which the user chooses his favorite folders as a group.
612 The other one is @dfn{access group} like @samp{+ /} from above example.
613 It collects all sub-folders in the folder to make a group. (Its
614 behavior differs by the type of the folder. For example, @samp{+}
615 followed by @samp{/} makes entire MH sub-directories to one group)
617 This behavior is better understood if you try it and confirmed the
618 function first. You can write and try a small folder definition, so you
619 will know the idea of the folder function before writing the real one.

651 You can see the list of folders. You can select some folder and go into the summary
652 of it. You can subscribe new folder or edit subscription list.
654 You can see the list of messages in the folder. You can select message
655 and view its contents, and reply to some message. You can delete ones or
656 move ones to another folder.

712 @samp{%} @var{mailbox} [@samp{:} @var{username} [@samp{/} @var{authenticate-type}]][@samp{@@} @var{hostname}][@samp{:} @var{port}][@samp{!}]
716 You can specify @code{login} (encoded password transmission),
717 @code{cram-md5} (CRAM-MD5 authentication), @code{digest-md5} (DIGEST-MD5
718 authentication) or @code{clear} (or @code{nil}, plain password
719 transmission) as @var{authenticate-type}.
724 @var{username} -> The value of @code{elmo-imap4-default-user}.
725 Initial setting is @env{USER} environment variable or
726 @env{LOGNAME} environment variable or return value of
727 @code{(user-login-name)}.
728 @var{authenticate-type} -> The value of @code{elmo-imap4-default-authenticate-type}.
729 Initial setting is "auth".
730 @var{hostname} -> The value of @code{elmo-imap4-default-server}.
731 Initial setting is "localhost".
732 @var{port} -> The value of @code{elmo-imap4-default-port}.
733 Initial setting is 143.
736 You can omit the @var{hostname} from folder names if you set
737 @code{elmo-imap4-default-server} as your main IMAP server.
738 For example, you can specify a folder as @samp{foo%imap@@gateway} even
739 if you have to go through a firewall.
743 ;; @r{Example: imap4.exaple.org as main IMAP server}
744 (setq elmo-imap4-default-server "imap4.example.org")
748 SSL (Secure Socket Layer) connection will be used if a folder name ends
749 with @samp{!}. If a folder name ends with @samp{!!}, STARTTLS
750 connection will be established.
752 If the value of @code{elmo-imap4-default-stream-type} is @code{ssl},
753 SSL will be the default connection, i.e. you can omit @samp{!}. If it
754 is is @code{starttls}, STARTTLS will be the default connection. To use
755 normal connection in these cases, add @samp{!direct} at the end of

761 (setq elmo-imap4-default-stream-type 'ssl)
765 If you specify @code{login}, @code{cram-md5} or @code{digest-md5} as
766 authentication method, the password is sent in encoded form. But, if
767 your server is unable to receive an encoded password, authentication
768 will fall back to @code{clear} (that is, sending password in raw format)
769 after confirmation to user. If @code{elmo-imap4-force-login} is non-nil,
770 authentication will fall back to @code{clear} without confirmation
771 (default value is @code{nil}).

834 One newsgroup is treated as a folder.
840 @samp{-} @var{newsgroup} [[@samp{:} @var{username}][@samp{@@} @var{hostname}][@samp{:} @var{port}]][@samp{!}]
846 @var{hostname} -> The value of @code{elmo-nntp-default-server}.
847 Initial setting is @samp{localhost}.
848 @var{username} -> The value of @code{elmo-nntp-default-user}.
849 Initial setting is @code{nil}.
850 @var{port} -> The value of @code{elmo-nntp-default-port}.
851 Initial setting is 119.
854 AUTHINFO is used as authentication method if the @var{username} is
855 non-nil. SSL connection will be used if a folder name ends with @samp{!}.
856 If a folder name ends with @samp{!!}, STARTTLS connection will be
859 If the value of @code{elmo-nntp-default-stream-type} is @code{ssl},
860 SSL will be the default connection, i.e. you can omit @samp{!}. If it
861 is is @code{starttls}, STARTTLS will be the default connection. To use
862 normal connection in these cases, add @samp{!direct} at the end of
869 -fj.rec.tv -> Newsgroup @samp{fj.rec.tv}.
870 -fj.rec.tv@@newsserver -> Newsgroup @samp{fj.rec.tv} on @samp{newsserver}.
875 @node MH Folder, Maildir Folder, NNTP Folder, Folders
882 A folder to access MH format mail (1 file is 1 mail).
887 @samp{+} @var{directory-name}
890 Normally, @var{directory-name} is an relative path to the variable
891 @code{elmo-localdir-folder-path} (default is @file{~/Mail}), but if it
892 starts with @samp{/} or @samp{~}, then it is treated as an absolute path
893 (this is also true for drive-letters).
895 Message number is used for the name of the message file.
901 +inbox -> @file{~/Mail/inbox}
902 +from/teranisi -> @file{~/Mail/from/teranisi}
903 +~/test -> @file{~/test}
908 @node Maildir Folder, News Spool Folder, MH Folder, Folders
909 @section Maildir Folder
911 @cindex Maildir Folder
915 A folder to access Maildir format (1 file is 1 mail).
920 @samp{.} [@var{directory-name}]
923 Normally, @var{directory-name} is a relative path to the variable
924 @code{elmo-maildir-folder-path} (default is @file{~/Maildir}), but if it
925 starts with @samp{/} or @samp{~}, then it is treated as an absolute path
926 (this is also true for drive-letters).
928 Maildir contains @file{cur}, @file{new} and @file{tmp} subdirectories.
929 Messages are contained in the @file{cur} directory. All message files
930 in the @file{new} directory are moved to @file{cur} directory when you
931 access the folder. All message files contained in the @file{tmp}
932 directory and not accessed for 36 hours are deleted.
934 This behavior conforms to the @uref{http://cr.yp.to/proto/maildir.html}.
940 . -> @file{~/Maildir}

948 @node News Spool Folder, Archive Folder, Maildir Folder, Folders
949 @section News Spool Folder
951 @cindex News spool Folder
954 This folder handles locally saved news articles which are proposed by
955 Mew/IM. You can also read articles directly from a spool-file which is
956 retrieved by an utility like @command{gnspool}.
961 @samp{=} @var{directory-name}
964 @var{directory-name} is a sub-directory to the directory defined by
965 variable @code{elmo-localnews-folder-path} (default is @file{~/News})
966 You can use @samp{.} as directory delimiter as well as @samp{/}.

973 =fj.os.bsd.freebsd -> @file{~/News/fj/os/bsd/freebsd}
978 @node Archive Folder, POP Folder, News Spool Folder, Folders
979 @section Archive Folder
981 @cindex Archive Folder
984 This method can handle archive files, which are compressed by utilities
985 such as Info-ZIP or LHA, as one folder.
991 @samp{$} @var{path-name} [@samp{;} @var{archiver-type} @samp{;} @var{prefix}]
995 @var{path-name} is the relative path from
996 @code{elmo-archive-folder-path} (initial setting is @file{~/Mail}). If
997 @var{path-name} begins with @samp{/} or @samp{~} or `drive-letter of
998 DOS', @var{path-name} is treated as absolute path. ange-ftp format is
999 also permitted under the environment of ange-ftp, efs.
1001 The actual file name of the archive folder is
1002 @code{elmo-archive-basename} (Initial setting is @file{elmo-archive})
1003 under the @var{path-name}. If a file named @var{path-name} exists, it is
1004 treated as folder. The suffix is automatically decided for
1005 @var{archiver-type}.
1007 If @var{archiver-type} is omitted, @code{elmo-archive-default-type}
1008 (Initial setting is @code{zip}) is referred.
1010 @var{prefix} specifies the internal directory structure of the archive.
1011 For example, if the ML server is fml, @file{msend.tar.gz} has a
1012 structure like @file{spool/1}, so you have to specify @samp{spool} as
1019 $teranisi -> @file{~/Mail/teranisi/elmo-archive.zip}
1020 $bsd/freebsd;lha -> @file{~/Mail/bsd/freebsd/elmo-archive.lzh}
1021 $/foo@@server:~/bar;zoo -> @file{~/bar/elmo-archive.zoo} on ftp server
1022 $d:/msend.tar.gz;tgz;spool -> @file{d:/msend.tar.gz}
1023 $ml;zip/ -> Access group consists of archive folders
1024 under @file{~/Mail/ml}

1036 @subsection Supported Archives
1046 By default, following archives are supported.
1050 LHA, Info-ZIP/UNZIP, ZOO, RAR ;; full-access
1051 GNU TAR('tgz, 'tar) ;; read-only
1055 If your archiver can include multiple files in one archive, you have a
1056 possibility use it as an archiver of Wanderlust (ARJ/UNARJ, ARC is one
1057 of the candidate. TAR is supported read-only because it cannot delete
1058 file in the archive (@code{mv})).
1060 @command{gzip}, @command{bzip}, @command{bzip2} cannot be used as an
1061 archiver of Wanderlust because they cannot include multiple
1062 files. Archivers that cannot extract files to standard output are also

1101 * Caution about GNU tar
1103 You have to take care about GNU tar's version because many version has
1104 problem on deleting file from archive.
1106 Please test @option{--delete} @option{-f} options work. Otherwise, your
1107 archive will be destroyed. No problem is reported on above versions of
1111 @node Archive Tips, Archive Vars, Archiver, Archive Folder
1113 @cindex Archive Tips
1115 For comfortable migration, usage of @code{wl-summary-archive}
1116 (@pxref{Archive}) or Expire (@pxref{Expire}) is recommended. To treat
1117 archive folders created by expiration, you must set non-nil value to
1118 @code{elmo-archive-treat-file}.
1120 On the OS/2, there is a great difference between Mule2.3(19.28) and Emacs20.2
1121 in processing speed. For comfortable use, Emacs20 is recommended.
1122 (If re-search's performance is the problem, 19.3x or later may be okay.)
1124 If many files are included in one archive,
1125 it takes long time to access the archive folder because
1126 archiver starting overhead is increased (especially LHA).
1127 150-200 messages in one archive is recommended.

1198 The initial setting is 8000.
1200 Max length of command line argument for external archiver program.
1201 Emacs does not have a limit of command line byte length, but some OS
1202 (e.x OS/2) have. It depends on the OS. Archive folder is affected by
1203 this limit because it calls external archiver program directly (not
1204 called via shell). For example, you cannot delete messages if archiver
1205 program must receive larger bytes of arguments to delete. OS/2 have a
1206 command line argument limit of 8190 bytes, so we defined default as 8000
1209 However, you don't have an influence of command line argument limit
1210 if the archiver has `actions' to receive target file information from
1211 standard input (@code{rm-pipe}, @code{mv-pipe}, @code{cat-headers} action).

1552 important -> important
1554 forwarded -> forwarded
1555 digest -> unread or important
1556 any -> unread or replied or forwarded or global-flag.
1560 You can also use flags which you have set as `global-flag'. global-flag
1561 is a flag which has arbitrary name. You can put global-flag on messages
1562 by invoking @code{wl-summary-set-flags} (Key @key{F}). By default,
1563 @samp{important} flag is prepared. You can view messages with
1564 global-flag by visiting the subfolder of @samp{'flag} folder.
1566 @xref{Internal Folder}.
1572 /flag:digest/%inbox -> a folder consist of unread or important
1574 /flag:wl/+ML/Wanderlust -> a folder consist of messages with global flag
1575 wl in +ML/Wanderlust.
1582 A condition starting with @samp{!} indicates a negation.
1583 If you combine conditions by character @samp{|}, it is considered as OR condition.
1584 @samp{&} is considered as AND condition, likewise.
1585 Condition can be grouped by parentheses (@samp{(}, and @samp{)}).
1587 @samp{/tocc:xxxx/} is an abbreviation of @samp{/to:xxxx|cc:xxxx/}.
1588 @samp{/!tocc:xxxx/} is an abbreviation of @samp{/!to:xxxx&!cc:xxxx/}.
1594 /from:teranisi&!to:teranisi/+inbox
1595 -> In +inbox, messages are picked if the message's
1596 From: field includes "teranisi" and
1597 To: field doesn't include "teranisi".
1599 /tocc:"Yuuichi Teranishi"/+inbox
1600 -> In +inbox, messages are picked if the
1601 message's To: field or Cc: field includes
1602 "Yuuichi Teranishi".
1604 /(from:yt|from:teranisi)&subject:report/+inbox
1605 -> In +inbox, messages are picked if the message's
1606 From: field includes "yt" or "teranisi", and
1607 Subject includes "report".
1613 Tip for string description:
1615 Space character, @samp{"}, @samp{/},@samp{)},@samp{|} and @samp{&}
1616 should be enclosed with @samp{"} in @var{value} string. (@samp{"}
1617 should be escaped with @samp{\} in it). You can enclose the string with
1618 @samp{"} even it does not contain these characters.
1624 *%inbox,/from:teranisi/%inbox@@server
1625 -> Messages in %inbox or

1656 When you access the pipe folder, messages are automatically transferred
1657 from @var{source-folder} to @var{destination-folder}.
1658 It is convenient if you want to download messages to local disk via POP.
1659 For example, if you specify following
1662 |&username@@popserver|+inbox
1666 and access it, Wanderlust downloads messages from
1667 @samp{&username@@popserver} to @samp{+inbox} automatically.
1669 On the other hand, if you put @samp{|:} instead of second @samp{|},
1670 then messages are copied to the destination folder (not deleted from
1671 source-folder). At the next time you access that folder, copies new
1675 @samp{|} @var{source-folder} @samp{|:} @var{destination-folder}
1678 If you want to copy messages from POP server and view them, specify the
1682 |&username@@popserver|:+inbox
1685 where messages will be kept on the server.
1691 |%inbox|%myinbox -> Download %inbox to %myinbox.

2227 As described before, subscribed folder list is saved in @file{~/.folders} file.
2228 But you don't have to edit @file{~/.folders} directly.
2229 You can append, delete, edit folders from folder mode.
2231 @subsection Usage (Tips)
2233 @subsubsection Append Folder
2235 @kbd{m a} appends new folder to your folder list. If you enter non-existent
2236 folder, it will ask you to create a new one.
2237 @kbd{m g} appends new folder group.
2238 To append new folder to this group, firstly open it,
2239 then execute append command in the next line.
2241 @subsubsection Edit Folder
2243 You can cut folder by @kbd{C-k}, paste by @kbd{C-y}.
2244 Thus, you can change folder position as if you were editing a normal file.
2246 @subsubsection Create Multi Folder.
2250 Type @kbd{m q} to clear @code{wl-fldmgr-cut-entity-list}.
2252 Cut folder by @kbd{C-k} or copy folder by @kbd{M-c}.
2254 Type @kbd{m m}, then you can create multi folder.
2257 @subsubsection Delete Nickname, Filter
2259 You can delete nickname or filter by putting ``''(@var{NULL}) from the
2260 minibuffer while appending.
2262 @subsubsection Append Folder to Empty Group
2264 To append new folder to the empty folder group
2265 (after you create folder group by typing @kbd{m g}),
2266 firstly open it, then execute append command in the next line.
2267 If it is closed, folder is appended on the same level with
2268 the folder group above. It is difficult to explain by words so try it.
2269 In other words, appended position depends on the
2270 open/close status of the upper one.
2272 @subsubsection Charset of the Folders File.
2274 @code{wl-mime-charset} is used for saving @code{wl-folders-file}.
2276 @subsubsection Create Filter
2278 @kbd{m f} adds filter to the folder at the current cursor point. To
2279 create new filter folder and leave the current folder unchanged, copy it
2280 @kbd{M-c}, make filter @kbd{m f} and paste it @kbd{C-y}. Multiple
2281 filter can be specified while appending filter. If you put
2282 ``''(@var{NULL}), filter is deleted.
2284 @subsubsection Sort Folders
2286 Sorting of the folders is executed by the function specified by
2287 @code{wl-fldmgr-sort-function}.
2288 The initial setting is @code{wl-fldmgr-sort-standard},
2289 which sorts alphabetically.
2290 Sorting affects only on the current folder group. It does not
2291 affect on the child groups.
2293 @subsubsection Hiding Folders in the Access Group
2295 Usually, access group displays all children folders, but you can set
2296 some folders hidden. Following operations are only available on access
2299 Command @code{wl-fldmgr-unsubscribe} (@kbd{u}) toggles the visibility
2300 (subscribe/unsubscribe) of the folder at current cursor point. Against
2301 this, @code{wl-fldmgr-unsubscribe-region} (@kbd{U}) hides folders in the
2304 Note that @code{wl-fldmgr-unsubscribe-region} does not toggle while
2305 @code{wl-fldmgr-unsubscribe} toggles. These two commands accept prefix
2306 argument and if the argument has positive number, the unsubscribe it.
2307 If the prefix argument has negative value, folder becomes visible and if
2308 zero, folder visibility is toggled.
2310 The other commands, @code{wl-fldmgr-subscribe} and
2311 @code{wl-fldmgr-subscribe-region} are also prepared (not binded to the
2314 Moreover, if @code{wl-fldmgr-cut} or @code{wl-fldmgr-cut-region} is
2315 executed in the access group, they have a same effect with
2316 @code{wl-fldmgr-unsubscribe} and @code{wl-fldmgr-unsubscribe-region}.
2317 The difference is that cut commands deletes folders from the current
2320 @subsubsection Operations in the Access Group
2322 You can insert and delete folders in the access group like usual folder
2323 group. But insert and delete commands can be only available for the
2324 children folders of the access group and they only sets the subscribe
2325 status. In other words, insertion of the folder means subscribing,
2326 deletion means unsubscribing.
2327 @footnote{In the current implementation,
2328 it is faster to delete region than to unsubscribe region.}
2330 To update the access group when children folders are inserted or deleted
2331 by other way (other than Wanderlust),
2332 open the access group by typing @kbd{C-u @key{RET}}.
2333 @xref{Selecting Folder}.
2335 The order of children folders of access group is saved after
2336 insertion/deletion/sorting.
2337 If you set @code{wl-force-fetch-folders} to non-nil or open access group
2338 by typing @kbd{C-u @key{RET}}, disappeared folders are deleted and
2339 newly created folders are inserted on the top of the access group.

2614 @subsection Summary Content
2616 In the summary mode, messages are displayed like following.
2620 377 09/16(Wed)11:57 [+1: Takuro Kitame ] Bug?
2621 381 09/17(Thu)00:16 [+3: Fujikazu Okuni ] elmo-lha.el -- LHA interface

2623 389 N09/18(Fri)01:07 [+2: Yuuichi Terani ] wl-0.6.3
2630 @var{Message number}, @var{Temporal mark}, @var{Persistent mark}, @var{Date}, @var{Sender}, @var{Subject}
2634 If you want to know how to change the format for this, please refer
2635 the section format of Summary lines.
2636 @xref{Summary View}.
2638 @var{Message number} is the message's unique number in the folder. In
2639 the NNTP folder, it is article number, in the IMAP folder, it is UID and
2640 in the MH folder, it is the filename of the message.
2642 @var{Temporal mark} and @var{Persistent mark} are described later.
2644 @var{Date} is displayed like @samp{@var{Month}/@var{Day}(@var{Week
2645 Day})@var{Hour}:@var{Minute}}. Default setting displays week day in
2646 Japanese, but if you want to display it in English, set the value of
2647 @code{wl-summary-weekday-name-lang} as @samp{en}.
2649 @var{Sender}'s indentation corresponds to the depth of the thread.
2650 Sender name is displayed as nickname if it is defined in the address
2651 book. Set @code{wl-use-petname} as @code{nil}, if you want to quit
2652 displaying with nickname.
2654 If number is printed at the head of @var{Sender} part like @samp{+2},
2655 that means the message have 2 follow messages.
2657 @var{Subject} is the @samp{Subject:} header field of the message. If
2658 the message have same @samp{Subject:} with the parent message, it is not
2659 displayed. Some mailing list puts its sequence number in the
2660 @samp{Subject:} field, but it is
2661 ignored. @code{wl-summary-no-subject-message} is displayed when the
2662 message has empty subject field.
2664 @subsection Temporary Marks
2665 @cindex Mark, Temporary
2667 There are seven temporary marks,
2668 @samp{*}, @samp{d}, @samp{D}, @samp{o}, @samp{O}, @samp{i} and @samp{~}.
2669 Temporary marks indicates message operations.
2674 You can execute a command on the all messages that have @samp{*} mark,
2675 with the key bindings which begins with @kbd{m}.
2678 The mark to dispose. You can put @samp{d} by typing @kbd{d} key.
2681 The mark to force delete. You can put @samp{D} by typing @kbd{D} key.
2685 After you type @kbd{o} key, prompt appears to input refile destination.
2686 Your answer is printed in the summary line.
2690 You can put this mark by typing @kbd{O} key.
2691 The difference between this mark and refile mark is,
2692 this mark does not delete the message while latter does.
2695 The mark to prefetch reserved.
2696 You can put this mark by typing @kbd{i} key.
2699 The mark to resend reserved.
2700 After you type @kbd{~} key, prompt appears to input address to resend.
2701 Your answer is printed in the summary line.
2704 @kbd{x} key executes action for temporary marks, respectively.
2706 @subsection Persistent Marks
2708 There are ten persistent marks, @samp{!}, @samp{N}, @samp{n}, @samp{U},
2709 @samp{u}, @samp{A}, @samp{a}, @samp{F}, @samp{f} and @samp{$}.
2711 The persistent mark indicates the message's status and it is saved.
2712 Each persistent mark indicates:
2718 It is new message. It differs from @samp{N} that message with @samp{n}
2721 It is unread message.
2723 It is unread message. It differs from @samp{U} that message with @samp{u}
2726 It is message already read. It differs from message without mark that
2727 message with @samp{!} is not cached yet.
2729 It is already replied message.
2731 It is already replied message. It differs from @samp{A} that message
2732 with @samp{a} is already cached.
2734 It is already forwarded message.
2736 It is already forwarded message. It differs from @samp{F} that message
2737 with @samp{f} is already cached.
2739 It is a message with some global flag. It is convenient to put this
2740 mark on the messages to remember (If you want to remember to write a
2741 reply for the message, for example) because this mark remains after
2742 you exited Emacs. Messages with the @samp{$} mark can be reviewed in
2743 the @samp{'flag} folder even the message itself is deleted in the actual
2744 folder. You can put global flag by typing @kbd{$} or @kbd{F} key.
2747 If the message is read and cached (or local message),there are no
2751 @samp{N}, @samp{U}, @samp{!}, @samp{A}, @samp{F} indicates that the
2752 message have no cache. Messages with the marks other than these, you
2753 can read them in the offline status even they are in the IMAP folder or
2756 Among messages with persistent marks, ones with marks specified by
2757 @code{wl-summary-expire-reserve-marks} are excluded from the expiration
2758 (as a function of wanderlust) explained later. @xref{Expire and Archive}.
2760 @subsection How To Read
2762 Basically, you can read messages only typing space key again and again.
2764 To update summary status to the newest status (synchronize),
2767 You can jump to next unread message by typing @kbd{N} key, and @kbd{n} key
2768 moves cursor to the next message.
2769 Enter message buffer by typing @kbd{j} key.
2770 To operate multipart, you have to enter to the message buffer.
2773 @subsection Pack the Message Numbers
2774 You can pack the message numbers in Summary by
2775 @kbd{M-x wl-summary-pack-number}. Note that only MH Folder,
2776 News Spool Folder and Maildir Folder are supported folder types.
2779 @node Thread Operations, Cache, Usage of Summary Mode, Summary
2780 @section Thread Operations
2782 For example, the following line indicates one thread (a context of a topic).
2785 384 09/17(Thu)01:32 [+1: Teranishi ] wl-0.6.2
2789 If you type @kbd{/} on this line, the thread is opened and it changes
2790 the appearance like following.
2794 384 09/17(Thu)01:32 [ Teranishi ] wl-0.6.2
2795 388 09/17(Thu)22:34 +-[ Murata san ]
2799 (Message 388 is the replied message to the message 384.)
2800 If you type @kbd{/} key once again, the thread is closed.
2801 With prefix argument, @kbd{/} opens all children threads.
2803 If you type @kbd{[}, opens all threads in summary. @kbd{]} closes all
2806 Commands with the key binding that begins with @kbd{t} executes commands
2807 on the messages in the thread.
2808 @xref{Key Bindings of Summary}.
2810 @subsection reconstruct thread by hand
2812 You can reconstruct the thread manually. In Summary, @kbd{M-w}
2813 (@code{wl-summary-save-current-message}) at the corresponding message,
2814 and @kbd{C-y} (@code{wl-summary-yank-saved-message}) at the new parent
2815 message then you have the reconstructed thread.
2818 @node Cache, Auto Refile, Thread Operations, Summary
2821 @subsection Cache File
2823 The messages which have to access via network (e.x. IMAP, NNTP folder)
2824 are cached as a local file so as to save network traffic or to enable
2825 off-line operation. The cache file is saved under the directory
2826 @file{~/.elmo/cache}. To expire cache, type @kbd{M-x
2827 elmo-cache-expire-by-size}. The command deletes cache files to the
2828 specified size by the order of last accessed time.
2830 @subsection Buffer Cache and Prefetching
2832 The messages that are read are kept in the cache buffer so as to make
2833 the behavior fast when you are to read the message again. It is called
2834 `buffer cache'. The number of cache buffer is specified by
2835 @code{wl-message-buffer-cache-size}.
2837 There are message prefetching mechanism in the Wanderlust that
2838 prefetches next message while you are reading.
2840 You can control the message prefetching mechanism by these two
2844 @item wl-message-buffer-prefetch-folder-type-list
2845 @vindex wl-message-buffer-prefetch-folder-type-list
2846 The initial setting is @code{'(imap4 nntp)}. If it is a list of folder
2847 types, it specifies the folder types in which message prefetching is
2848 enabled. In initial setting, messages are prefetch only in the nntp and
2849 imap4 folders. In this case, multi folder that contains localdir and
2850 imap4 prefetches only imap4 messages. This variable precedes the value of
2851 @code{wl-message-buffer-prefetch-folder-list}.
2852 To prefetch messages in all folder types, specify @code{t}.
2854 @item wl-message-buffer-prefetch-folder-list
2855 @vindex wl-message-buffer-prefetch-folder-list
2856 The initial setting is @code{nil}.
2857 A list of regexp of folders to enable message prefetching.
2859 @item wl-message-buffer-prefetch-depth
2860 @vindex wl-message-buffer-prefetch-depth
2861 The initial setting is 1. The number of messages for automatical prefetch.
2863 @item wl-message-buffer-prefetch-idle-time
2864 @vindex wl-message-buffer-prefetch-idle-time
2865 The initial setting is 1 (in seconds). The period of automatical prefetch.
2867 @item wl-message-buffer-prefetch-threshold
2868 @vindex wl-message-buffer-prefetch-threshold
2869 The initial setting is 30000 (bytes). If prefetching message has larger
2870 size than this value, Wanderlust does not prefetch automatically.
2871 If @code{wl-message-buffer-prefetch-threshold} is @code{nil},
2872 the message is not checked for the size.
2874 @item wl-auto-prefetch-first
2875 @vindex wl-auto-prefetch-first
2876 The initial setting is @code{nil}.
2877 If non-nil, first message is automatically prefetched to the buffer
2878 when you enter the folder.
2882 @node Auto Refile, Sticky Summary, Cache, Summary
2883 @section Auto Refile
2884 @vindex elmo-msgdb-extra-fields
2885 @vindex wl-refile-rule-alist
2886 @findex wl-summary-auto-refile
2888 You can refile messages automatically, by typing @kbd{C-o}
2889 (@code{wl-summary-auto-refile}). It decides destination of refile by
2890 the content of the message header information (information in the msgdb).
2892 By default, @samp{From:}, @samp{Subject:}, @samp{To:} and @samp{Cc:} is
2893 available. If you want to decide destination by other header fields,
2894 set the variable @code{elmo-msgdb-extra-fields} like following.
2898 (setq elmo-msgdb-extra-fields
2908 By this setting, Wanderlust saves extra fields in the msgdb. You have
2909 to type @kbd{s all} to get extra fields for the messages that are
2910 already exists in the summary.
2912 Then, specify the refile rule. The refile target folder of auto
2913 refiling is decided by the value of @code{wl-refile-rule-alist}.
2914 @code{wl-refile-rule-alist} is a list of a rule:
2918 (@var{field} (@var{regexp} . @var{target})
2919 (@var{regexp} . @var{target})
2924 Each rule means `if @var{field} value matches @var{regexp},
2925 then refile to @var{target} folder'.
2926 The rule matched first is applied.
2928 @var{field} is a string of field name. You can specify a list of field name
2929 string, too. In this case, if one of these fields is matched, then the
2930 rule is fired (i.e. OR condition).
2932 @var{regexp} is a regular expression for field value. @var{target} is a target
2933 folder string. You can specify a rule at @var{target} part, too. In this
2934 case, If the field value of the rule and the current rule is matched,
2935 then the current rule is fired (i.e. AND condition).
2937 You can refer matched substring of @var{regexp} to specify @var{target} part.
2938 To refer substring, use following keys:
2942 means substitute original matched text.
2945 means substitute what matched the @var{N}th `\(@dots{}\)'.
2946 (@var{N} is a number.)
2949 Following is an example of @code{wl-refile-rule-alist}.
2953 (setq wl-refile-rule-alist
2955 ("^Wanderlust" . "+wl")
2956 ("^Elisp" . "+elisp"))
2958 ("\\([a-z]+\\)@@gohome\\.org" . "+\\1"))
2960 ("me@@gohome\\.org" . ("To" ("you@@gohome\\.org" .
2961 "+from-me-to-you"))))))
2965 After these settings, refile marks are automatically put on the condition
2966 matched messages by typing @kbd{C-o} (@code{wl-summary-auto-refile}).
2968 Messages which have @code{wl-summary-auto-refile-skip-marks} is skipped
2970 By default, @samp{N}, @samp{U} and @samp{!} is specified, so the messages
2971 with these persistent marks are not automatically refiled.
2972 It means Wanderlust does not execute auto refile on unread messages by
2973 the default setting.
2974 To execute auto refile on all messages, set following.
2977 (setq wl-summary-auto-refile-skip-marks nil)
2981 @node Sticky Summary, Summary View, Auto Refile, Summary
2982 @section Sticky Summary
2983 @cindex Summary, Sticky
2984 @cindex Sticky Summary
2986 The buffer of the `sticky summary' does not killed by typing @kbd{q}.
2988 By entering the summary by typing @kbd{Shift RET} in Folder mode or
2989 @kbd{G} in some suummary sticky summary buffer is created.
2990 Also typing @kbd{M-s} (@code{wl-summary-stick}) on the normal summary
2991 makes current one sticky.
2993 The buffer name of the sticky summary becomes like
2994 @samp{Summary:@var{folder-name}}.
2995 You can visit the sticky summary at any time by @kbd{C-x b}
2996 (@code{switch-to-buffer}), or you can go round summary buffers by
2997 @kbd{C-c C-n} (@code{wl-summary-previous-buffer}) and @kbd{C-c C-p}
2998 (@code{wl-summary-next-buffer}) in summary mode.
3000 In sticky summary, the summary buffer is preserved after @kbd{g} or
3001 @kbd{q}. To delete sticky summary, type @kbd{C-u q} to exit or move to
3002 another summary by @kbd{C-u g}. Other operations in the sticky summary
3003 are same as normal summary.
3005 @code{wl-summary-always-sticky-folder-list} specifies the folders that
3006 are automatically stuck.

3011 @cindex Format of summary lines
3012 You can alter the format of lines in Summary mode.
3014 Summary line format is specified by @code{wl-summary-line-format}.
3015 You can use control strings defined by
3016 @code{wl-summary-line-format-spec-alist}.
3022 ;; @r{number temporary-mark persistent-mark date branch}
3023 ;; @r{[ (number-of-children) sender ] subject}
3024 (setq wl-summary-line-format "%n%T%P%M/%D(%W) %t%[%17(%c %f%) %] %s")
3028 Where the number set the column number of the field. If negative value,
3029 the column is filled from right. If the number begins with @samp{0},
3030 @samp{0} is used for filling columns instead of @samp{ }.
3042 Major control strings defined by @code{wl-summary-line-format-spec-alist}
3043 are displayed in the following list.
3056 %t branch of the thread
3057 %[ [ (< for re-connected child)
3058 %] ] (> for re-connected child)
3062 %c +number-of-children: (display only for opened thread)
3063 %C [+number-of-children] (display only for opened thread)
3064 %# mailing list information (`(' ML-name [ ` ' ML-number ] `)')
3065 %l number in the mailing list
3066 %@@ `@@' only if the first MIME part is multipart/mixed
3067 %~ ` ' only if previous column is empty
3071 The temporary mark (@samp{%T}) and persistent mark (@samp{%P}) must
3072 appear at the constant column. For example, if you specify @samp{%T} or
3073 @samp{%P} after the @samp{%t}, which changes its length by thread
3074 position, marks are not treated correctly.
3076 If the format string is enclosed by @samp{%number(} and @samp{%)}, the
3077 column of the enclosed region is justified to the `number'. Multiple
3078 level @samp{%number(} parenthesis can be defined. It is useful to
3079 justify the column of the multiple control strings. For example, in the
3080 above @code{wl-summary-line-format},
3086 means ``Adjust number-of-children and sender string to the 17 column''.
3088 You can specify the format by each folders with
3089 @code{wl-folder-summary-line-format-alist}. Please set regular
3090 expression for folder names and summary line format as the following
3095 (setq wl-folder-summary-line-format-alist
3096 '(("^%" . "%T%P%M/%D(%W)%h:%m %t%[%17(%c %f%) %] %s")
3097 ("^+" . "%n%T%P%M/%D %[ %17f %] %t%C%s")))
3101 @subsection on the format for sender name
3103 The format string @samp{%f} displays the return value of the function specified
3104 by @code{wl-summary-from-function}. If you use the function
3105 @code{wl-summary-default-from} (default), it displays sender name ordinarily,
3106 while displays the recipient names if the folder name matches with
3107 @code{wl-summary-showto-folder-regexp} and the sender is yourself.
3108 If the value of @code{wl-use-petname} is Non-nil, it uses petname to display.
3110 For example, to display recipient names for the message in @samp{+backup} if
3111 its sender is yourself, set up as follows.
3114 (setq wl-summary-showto-folder-regexp "^\\+backup$")

3123 @code{wl-summary-mark-action-list}. Initially, refile (@samp{o}), copy
3124 (@samp{O}), dispose (@samp{d}), delete (@samp{D}), prefetch (@samp{i})
3125 and resend (@samp{~}) are defined.
3127 Each element of @code{wl-summary-mark-action-list} consists of
3130 (@samp{MARK} @samp{SYMBOL}
3131 @samp{ARGUMENT-FUNCTION} @samp{SET-MARK-FUNCTION} @samp{EXEC-FUNCTION}
3132 @samp{FACE} @samp{DOC-STRING})
3135 @samp{MARK} is a temporary mark string, and @samp{SYMBOL} is the name of
3136 the action to be defined. @samp{ARGUMENT-FUNCTION} is a function to
3137 generate argument to be given to @samp{SET-MARK-FUNCTION}, which will be
3138 described next, and it takes arguments:
3141 (@samp{ACTION} @samp{NUMBER})
3144 Where @samp{ACTION} equals to @samp{SYMBOL}, and @samp{NUMBER} is message
3145 number. @samp{SET-MARK-FUNCTION} is a function to be called when the mark
3146 is put. It takes arguments:
3149 (@samp{NUMBER} @samp{MARK} @samp{DATA})
3152 Where @samp{NUMBER} is target message number, @samp{MARK} is a temporary
3153 mark string, and @samp{DATA} is given by @samp{ARGUMENT-FUNCTION}.
3155 @samp{EXEC-FUNCTION} is a function to be called when the action is
3156 executed. Its argument is a list of @samp{MARK-INFO}. Here @samp{MARK-INFO}
3157 means a list consists of
3160 (@samp{NUMBER} @samp{MARK} @samp{DATA})
3163 @samp{FACE} is a face to be used for highlighting.

4521 @subsection Editing Message Header
4523 You can freely edit header region above @samp{--text follows this line--},
4524 until you invoke the sending operation.
4526 Initially, the cursor is at the @samp{To:} field. Fill in recipients
4527 addresses. @kbd{@key{TAB}} completes them.
4529 You can use following headers to specify recipients. Add some of them
4530 by yourself. Field names can be completed by @kbd{@key{TAB}}.
4533 @item @samp{Newsgroups:}
4534 Specify newsgroups to which you post the news article.
4537 Specify addresses to send a copy (Carbon Copy) of the message.
4540 Following ones are removed from the header contents before sending.
4544 Specify addresses to send a copy (Blind Carbon Copy) of the message.
4547 Specify folders in which a copy of the message is saved.
4550 Specify recipients to send encapsulated copy of the message.
4553 You can add initial headers by following variables.
4559 The initial setting is @code{nil}.
4560 If non-nil, the value of this variable is inserted as a @samp{Fcc:} of
4561 the draft when it is prepared. If function is specified, its return

4574 As a matter of course, editing message body can be performed in the same
4575 way as usual writing. You may write message body under
4576 @samp{--text follows this line--} line. (NOTE: Be sure to leave the line
4577 @samp{--text follows this line--} intact.)

4582 You can also see help by @kbd{C-c C-x ?} in draft buffer.
4584 If you save the draft buffer you are editing, it is appended to the
4585 folder specified by @code{wl-draft-folder}. You can leave draft buffer
4586 after storing it for future editing by @kbd{C-c C-z} (@code{wl-draft-save-and-exit}).

4597 You can set @code{wl-draft-config-alist} so that header and body of the
4598 message will automatically modified depending on information of header
4601 The initial setting of @code{wl-draft-config-alist} is @code{nil}.
4603 In the example below, the header is modified when
4604 @code{wl-draft-send-and-exit} or @code{wl-draft-send} is invoked. You
4605 can set @code{wl-interactive-send} to non-nil so as to confirm changes
4606 before sending the message.

4621 (top . "Hello.\n") ;; @r{inserted at the top of the body}
4622 (bottom . "\nBye.\n") ;; @r{inserted at the bottom of the body}
4627 The format of @code{wl-draft-config-alist} is:
4631 '(("@var{regexp of the header}" or @var{elisp expression}
4632 ("@var{Field}" . value(@var{elisp expression}))
4633 (@var{variable} . value(@var{elisp expression}))
4634 (@var{sub-function} . value(@var{elisp expression}))
4637 ("@var{regexp of the header}" or @var{elisp expression}
4638 ("@var{Field}" . value(@var{elisp expression}))
4643 Per default, there are 13 following sub-functions.
4646 'header: Inserts the specified string at the bottom of the header.
4647 'header-top: Inserts the specified string at the top of the header.
4648 'header-file: Inserts the specified file at the bottom of the header.
4649 'x-face: Inserts @samp{X-Face:} field with the content of the specified file.
4650 'top: Inserts the specified string at the top of the body.
4651 'top-file: Inserts the specified file at the top of the body.
4652 'body: Replaces the body with the specified string.
4653 Specifying @code{nil} deletes the entire body string.
4654 'body-file: Replaces the body with the content of the specified file.
4655 'bottom: Inserts the specified string at the bottom of the body.
4656 'bottom-file: Inserts the specified file at the top of the body.
4657 'part-top: Inserts the specified string at the top of the current part.
4658 'part-bottom: Inserts the specified string at the bottom of the current part.
4659 'template: Applies the specified template.
4660 (refer to the next subsection)
4663 These are defined in @code{wl-draft-config-sub-func-alist} and you can
4664 change them or add your own functions. If you read the code, you can
4665 easily find how to write the functions.
4667 At the first of each item, @var{a regular expression of the header} or
4668 an @var{elisp expression} should be specified. In the case of an elisp
4669 expression, the item is applied when the expression is evaluated
4672 Per default, when multiple items match or are evaluated non-nil, all
4673 such items are applied, but if you set a variable
4674 @code{wl-draft-config-matchone} to @code{t}, only the first matching one
4677 At the second of the item, a cons or a list of functions should be
4678 specified. The car part of the cons should be a header field, a
4679 variable, or a sub-function. When a header field is specified, the
4680 field will be modified. If a variable is specified, the value of the
4681 variable will be modified temporarily.
4683 In the cdr part of a cons, not only a variable but also an elisp
4684 expression can be specified as is. If the car part is a header field
4685 and the cdr part is @code{nil}, the field will be deleted.
4687 See the next example as well:
4691 (setq wl-draft-config-alist
4693 "X-ML-Name: \\(Wanderlust\\|emacs-mime-ja\\|apel-ja\\)"
4694 ;; @r{applied if it matches the header of the buffer being replied}
4695 (body . " Hello.\n")
4696 (template . "default")
4701 As in the (1) above, if a header regexp is prepended with @code{reply},
4702 it is applied when the draft is prepared by @code{wl-summary-reply} for
4703 example, and when it matches the header being replied. It is ignored
4704 when there is no buffer being replied, like after @code{wl-draft} was
4707 If you want to use name of parent folder, you can refer the buffer local
4708 variable @code{wl-draft-parent-folder}. In the following example, Wanderlust
4709 changes From according to the folder name of the summary in which the draft
4714 (setq wl-draft-config-alist
4715 '(((string-match \".*@@domain1$\" wl-draft-parent-folder)
4716 (\"From\" . \"user@@domain1\"))
4717 ((string-match \".*@@domain2$\" wl-draft-parent-folder)
4718 (\"From\" . \"user@@domain2\"))))
4723 Note that @code{wl-draft-config-alist} is applied only once when
4724 @code{wl-draft-send-and-exit} or @code{wl-draft-send} is invoked.
4725 Therefore, if you want to apply @code{wl-draft-config-alist} again after
4726 aborting transmission, execute @kbd{C-c C-e}
4727 (@code{wl-draft-config-exec}) explicitly.
4729 If you don't want to apply @code{wl-draft-config-alist} when
4730 @code{wl-draft-send-and-exit} or @code{wl-draft-send} is invoked,
4734 (remove-hook 'wl-draft-send-hook 'wl-draft-config-exec)
4737 If you want to apply @code{wl-draft-config-alist} when a draft buffer is
4738 prepared, do the following:
4741 (add-hook 'wl-mail-setup-hook 'wl-draft-config-exec)
4744 If you want to apply @code{wl-draft-config-alist} when you re-edit a mail
4745 from summary mode by typing @kbd{E}(@code{wl-summary-reedit}), do the

4757 Set a variable @code{wl-template-alist}, and type @kbd{C-c C-j} or
4758 @kbd{M-x wl-template-select} in the draft buffer.
4760 The format of @code{wl-template-alist} is almost the same as
4761 @code{wl-draft-config-alist}.
4762 @xref{Dynamical Message Re-arrangement}.

4773 ("To" . "boss@@example.com")
4774 ("Subject" . "Report")
4775 (body-file . "~/work/report.txt")
4781 As you can see, the only difference is item (template) names such as
4782 @samp{default} and @samp{report}, instead of a regexp of header.
4783 Because definition of each item is the same as
4784 @code{wl-draft-config-alist}, you can call another template, like (a).
4786 Executing the command @code{wl-template-select} results in template
4787 selection, but the result differs depending on variable
4788 @code{wl-template-visible-select}.
4790 If @code{wl-template-visible-select} is @code{t} (default), a buffer
4791 window is shown below the draft buffer. You can select a template by
4792 @kbd{n} and @kbd{p} seeing the buffer window.
4794 Press the @key{RET} key and the template is actually applied to the draft
4795 buffer. If you press @kbd{q}, nothing is applied. In addition, you can
4796 adjust the window size by @code{wl-template-buffer-lines}.
4798 If @code{wl-template-visible-select} is @code{nil}, you should type the
4799 name of the template in the mini buffer.
4801 If @code{wl-template-select} is executed with prefix argument,
4802 inversed value of @code{wl-template-visible-select} is used.
4804 As shown in the example in @code{wl-draft-config-alist}, you can select
4805 @samp{default} template by writing:

5721 An example configuration of @code{wl-expire-alist} is shown below.
5722 Everything in this @code{wl-expire-alist} makes a great difference in
5723 expiration, so be careful. I advise you to set @code{wl-expire-use-log}
5724 to @code{t}, especially in the initial stage.
5728 (setq wl-expire-alist
5729 '(("^\\+trash$" (date 14) remove)
5731 ("^\\+tmp$" (date 7) trash)
5732 ;; @r{re-file to @code{wl-trash-folder}}
5733 ("^\\+outbox$" (number 300) "$outbox;lha")
5734 ;; @r{re-file to the specific folder}
5736 ;; @r{do not expire}
5737 ("^\\+ml/wl$" (number 500 510) wl-expire-archive-number1 t)
5738 ;; @r{archive by message number (retaining numbers)}
5739 ("^\\+ml/.*" (number 300 310) wl-expire-archive-number2 t)
5740 ;; @r{archive by a fixed number (retaining numbers)}
5741 ("^\\+diary$" (date 30) wl-expire-archive-date)
5742 ;; @r{archive by year and month (numbers discarded)}
5747 Items in the list has the format of:
5750 (@var{regexp-for-folders} @var{specification-of-messages-to-be-deleted} @var{destination})
5754 The folder is examined if it matches @var{regexp-for-folders} from the
5755 beginning of the list. If you invoke expiration on the folder that does
5756 not match any of them, nothing will happen. And if either the second or
5757 the third element of the item is @code{nil}, expiration will not take
5760 You can use any one of the following for
5761 @var{specification-of-message-to-be-deleted}:
5764 @item (number @var{n1} [@var{n2}])
5765 deletes messages depending on the number of messages in the folder.
5767 @var{n1} is the number of messages which should survive deletion, for example
5768 if its value is 500, the newest 500 messages survive and the rests are
5771 @var{n2} is the number of messages in the folder on which expiration should
5772 take place, which defaults to @var{n1} + 1. For example if its value is 510,
5773 folders with 510 or more messages are expired.
5774 If you configured automatic expiration, frequently used folders may
5775 expire every time it receive messages, and you may be annoyed with the
5776 long delay in reading mail.
5777 In that case, you can set a wide margin between @var{n2} and @var{n1}, so that
5778 expiration would not take place until a certain number of messages
5781 Messages with marks in @code{wl-summary-expire-reserve-marks} (marked
5782 with important/new/unread) are not deleted.
5783 If @code{wl-expire-number-with-reserve-marks} is non-nil, the folder
5784 will expire so as to have 500 messages including such ones.
5785 Otherwise, it will have 500 messages except such ones.
5787 @item (date @var{d1})
5788 deletes messages depending on the dates.
5790 Messages dated @var{d1} or more days ago are deleted, for example if its
5791 value is seven, messages seven days old or more are deleted. Note that
5792 the date is the one in the @samp{Date:} field of the message, not when
5793 the message entered the folder.
5795 Messages with no or invalid @samp{Date:} field does not expire; you
5796 might have to delete them by hand.
5799 You can use any one of the following in the place of @var{destination}:
5803 deletes the messages instantly.
5806 hide the messages from summary (messages are not deleted).
5809 moves the messages to @code{wl-trash-folder}.
5811 @item @var{string}(folder)
5812 moves the messages to the folder specified with @var{string}.
5814 It would be useful for specifying an archiving folder, but because this
5815 does not move important messages, it might be better to use the
5816 standard functions described below.
5818 @item @var{function}
5819 invokes the specified @var{function}.
5821 To the @var{function}, three arguments are passed: a folder name, a list
5822 of messages to be deleted, and msgdb information of the summary. You
5823 can specify function-specific arguments after the name of the
5824 @var{function}. Note that the list contains messages with marks in
5825 @code{wl-summary-expire-reserve-marks}, be careful in writing your own
5828 These are four standard functions; three of them move messages to an archive
5829 folder in the specified way. This means old messages can be compressed
5830 and saved in a file, being deleted from the original folder.
5831 The last one divides messages to some MH folders.
5834 @item wl-expire-archive-number1
5835 re-files to archiving folders corresponding to the message numbers of
5836 the messages being deleted. For example, a message numbered 102 will be
5837 re-filed to @file{wl-00100.zip}, 390 to @file{wl-00300.zip}, and so on.
5838 If @code{wl-expire-archive-files} is 200, messages will be re-filed to
5839 @file{wl-00000.zip}, @file{wl-00200.zip}, @file{wl-00400.zip}, @dots{}.
5841 The archiving folders to which messages are re-filed are determined by
5842 the name of the folder as follows (in this case, archiving folders are
5843 handled as if @code{elmo-archive-treat-file} were non-nil).
5846 @item If the folder type is localdir:
5847 @file{@var{ArchiveDir}/@var{foldername}-xxxxx.zip}
5849 For example, @samp{+ml/wl} corresponds to @samp{$ml/wl;zip}
5850 (@file{~/Mail/ml/wl-00100.zip}).
5852 @item The folder type is other than localdir:
5853 @file{@var{ArchiveDir}/@var{foldertype}/@var{foldername}-xxxxx.zip}
5855 For example, @samp{%#mh/ml/wl} corresponds to
5856 @samp{$imap4/#mh/ml/wl;zip} (@file{~/Mail/imap4/#mh/ml/wl-00100.zip}).
5859 As you can see, in the case of localdir, the folder type is not included
5860 in the path name, but otherwise it is included.
5861 And you can control the prefix to the archiving folder name by
5862 @code{wl-expire-archive-folder-prefix}.
5863 Refer to @code{wl-expire-archive-folder-prefix} for details.
5865 @item wl-expire-archive-number2
5866 re-files every certain number of messages to archiving folders.
5868 This differs from @samp{wl-expire-archive-number1} in that this re-files
5869 to the folder up to the specified number regardless of message numbers.
5870 The archiving folders to which messages are re-filed are determined in the
5871 same way as @code{wl-expire-archive-number1}.
5873 @item wl-expire-archive-date
5874 re-files messages depending on its date (year and month) to archive
5877 For example, a message dated December 1998 is re-filed to
5878 @code{$folder-199812;zip}. The name of the archiving folders except the
5879 date part are determined in the same way as
5880 @code{wl-expire-archive-number1}.
5883 You can set the first argument to these three standard functions to non-nil
5884 in @code{wl-expire-alist} so as to retain message numbers in the folder.
5885 For example, it can be specified just after the name of the function:
5888 ("^\\+ml/wl$" (number 300 310) wl-expire-archive-number1 t)
5891 If you omit the argument, consecutive numbers from 1 are assigned for
5892 each archiving folder.
5894 @item wl-expire-localdir-date
5895 divedes messages depending on its date (year and month) to MH folders
5896 e.g. to @samp{+ml/wl/1999_11/}, @samp{+ml/wl/1999_12/}.
5900 @subsection Treatment for Important or Unread Messages
5902 If you specify any of @code{remove}, @code{trash}, a folder name, or a
5903 standard function, messages with marks in
5904 @code{wl-summary-expire-reserve-marks} (which are called @dfn{reserved
5905 messages} thereafter) are retained.
5907 Per default, this variable include the important, new, and unread marks,
5908 so that messages with these marks are not removed.
5909 Note that you cannot include the temporary mark (i.e. temporary marks
5910 are removed anyway), and be sure to process temporary marks before you
5913 @subsection Auto Expiration
5915 The following setup invokes expiration when you move into the summary
5916 mode. There will be no confirmation, so make sure you made no mistake
5917 in regexp and other settings before you set up this.
5921 (add-hook 'wl-summary-prepared-pre-hook 'wl-summary-expire)
5925 In the folder mode, you can invoke expiration per group as well as per
5926 folder. Therefore, if you specify @samp{Desktop} group, all folders
5927 matching @code{wl-expire-alist} expire.
5931 @subsection Treating archive folders.
5932 To treat archive folders created by @code{wl-expire-archive-number1} and so on,
5933 you must set non-nil value to @code{elmo-archive-treat-file}.
5935 @subsection Confirming
5937 If you are to use @code{remove}, try @code{trash} at first and see
5938 messages move to @code{wl-trash-folder} as expected, then replace it
5939 with @code{remove}. It would be dangerous to use @code{remove} from the
5942 If you are to use @code{wl-expire-archive-number1} and the like, try to
5943 make a folder of the archiver type (@code{zip} or @code{lha}) and see if
5944 you can append messages to it. Even if settings in
5945 @code{wl-expire-alist} and @code{elmo-archive} are correct, messages
5946 would not be saved anywhere and disappeared in case the archiver program
5949 After you make sure you can archive to the folder correctly, you can
5950 invoke expiration and utilize the log.
5952 If you set @code{wl-expire-use-log} to @code{t},
5953 @file{~/.elmo/expired-log} should contain the log, for example:
5957 delete +ml/wl (593 594 595 596 597 598 599)
5958 move +ml/wl -> $ml/wl-00600;tgz;wl (600 601 602)
5962 The first column indicates the operation, i.e. @samp{delete},
5963 @samp{copy}, or @samp{move}. The next is the name of the folder that
5964 expired. In the case of @samp{copy} and @samp{move}, the destination
5965 folder is recorded after @samp{->}. The last is the list of message
5966 numbers that are actually deleted or moved (in the case of @samp{copy}
5967 and @samp{move}, the number is the one in the source folder, rather than
5968 the destination folder).
5970 @subsection Re-filing Reserved Messages
5972 The three standard functions copy reserved messages to the archive
5973 folder, but do not delete them from the source folder. Because
5974 reserved messages and the like always remain, they are recorded in
5975 @file{~/.elmo/expired-alist} so that they are not copied over and over
5976 again. They are not recorded if copied by @code{wl-summary-archive}.
5978 If you enabled logging, usually @samp{move} is recorded for re-filing,
5979 but instead @samp{copy} and @samp{delete} are recorded separately if
5980 reserved messages are involved. This is because it actually copies
5981 messages including reserved, then deletes ones except reserved in that

6042 folder for standard functions in the place of @var{destination}.
6043 You can use the following three variables for simple modification of
6044 folder names; if you want more complex settings, define your own

6090 In the worst case, there is a fear of destructing archiving folders.
6094 There will be no prefix.
6097 For example, @samp{+ml/wl} will be prefixed by @samp{wl}, resulting in
6098 @samp{$ml/wl-00000;zip;wl}.

6108 @vindex wl-expire-archive-folder-num-regexp
6109 The initial setting is @samp{-\\([-0-9]+\\);}.
6110 This variable specifies the regular expression to be used for getting
6111 message numbers from multiple archiving folders specified by

6124 The initial setting is @code{t}.
6125 If non-nil, messages older than the one with the largest number will be
6126 deleted with confirmation.
6127 If @code{nil}, they are deleted without confirmation.
6129 This feature is valid only if non-nil is specified as a argument to the
6130 standard functions so as to retain numbers.

6199 As inferred from their names, they work similarly to "expire" versions,
6200 other than the following points:
6203 @item No messages are deleted
6204 @item Message numbers are retained even if invoked without arguments
6207 These functions are good to archive all messages in a folder by their
6208 numbers or by their dates.
6209 These are also useful for backup or confirmation purposes before
6211 If you try to re-file them after they are archived, they are deleted but
6214 Per default, the archiving folders to which messages are copied are
6215 determined automatically by @code{wl-expire-archive-get-folder-function}.
6216 You can copy to a specific folder by invoking with a prefix argument,
6217 i.e. @kbd{C-u M-x wl-summary-archive}.

6250 This variable specifies a function that copies to archiving folders.
6251 To the function, three arguments are passed: a folder name, a list of
6252 messages in the folder, and msgdb information of the summary.
6253 Needless to say, you can use your own function.

6262 Scoring is the function that associates a score (value) with each
6263 message, and marks as read or deletes from the summary according to it.
6265 You can put target or important marks on essential messages, or read marks
6266 on the ones you do not want to read, for example spam articles.
6268 This scoring function has a capability and a format similar to the one

6290 (setq wl-score-folder-alist
6299 If paths to the score files are omitted, the directory specified in the

6302 No matter what you write in @code{wl-score-folder-alist}, the default
6303 score file @code{wl-score-default-file} (@file{all.SCORE}) is always
6304 read (it does not have to exist).
6305 Therefore, in the example above, the three score files,

6307 the folders that matches @samp{^-.*}.

6316 @subsection Creation of Score Files
6318 In the summary buffer, move to an appropriate message and type @kbd{L}.
6319 Then type @kbd{s}, @kbd{s}, and @kbd{p} at a prompt in a mini-buffer.
6320 The string in Subject is presented. Edit it and press @kbd{@key{RET}}.
6322 This makes @minus{}1000 are scored for messages with the same
6323 @samp{Subject:} as the string you entered. That is, such a score file
6324 is created automatically.
6326 Then, try typing @kbd{h} and @kbd{e} in the same summary buffer.
6327 The score file you just made appears.
6328 This buffer is called @dfn{score editing buffer} thereafter.
6329 When you type @kbd{C-c C-e} in it, you are prompted in the mini-buffer
6330 as you are previously; type @kbd{a}. Then a score entry for "From"
6332 In this way, you can create a score file easily either in the summary
6333 buffer or in the score editing buffer.
6335 By the way, you might be aware the numbers of key strokes are different
6336 between @kbd{s s p} and @kbd{a}.
6337 This is determined by @code{wl-score-header-default-entry}.
6338 This variable specifies the default score entries corresponding to
6340 For example, for "subject" field, a type and a time limit are prompted,
6341 but for "from" field, they are fixed upon automatically as substring and
6342 permanent respectively.
6343 However, score values can be modified by the prefix argument.
6344 Typing @kbd{?} at the mini-buffer shows a help on keys and corresponding
6347 At last, type @kbd{C-c C-c} in the score editing buffer. This saves the
6348 score file and terminates the edit mode. Typing @kbd{C-c C-c} after
6349 erasing contents of the buffer deletes the score file being edited.
6353 @subsubsection Selecting Score Files
6355 You can change score files to which scores are appended by
6356 @code{wl-summary-increase-score} and @code{wl-summary-lower-score} by
6357 @code{wl-score-change-score-file}.
6359 @subsubsection Summing Up the Score
6361 If you add the same entries by @code{wl-summary-increase-score},
6362 @code{wl-summary-lower-score}, and @code{wl-score-edit-insert-entry},
6363 scores for the entry is summed up.
6365 For example, if you create @samp{from} entry with the score of @minus{}1000 by
6366 @kbd{L a} and again @samp{from} with @minus{}200, one entry with the score of
6367 @minus{}1200 will be created as a result.
6369 @subsubsection Creating Thread Key
6371 Creating @samp{Thread} key by @code{wl-summary-increase-score} or
6372 @code{wl-summary-lower-score} appends @samp{Message-ID} of all children.
6374 @subsubsection Creating Followup Key
6376 Creating @samp{Followup} key by @code{wl-summary-increase-score} or
6377 @code{wl-summary-lower-score} appends @samp{Message-ID} of the message
6378 at the cursor to @samp{References} key.
6379 If @code{wl-score-auto-make-followup-entry} is non-nil,
6380 @samp{Message-ID} of all messages to be followed up within dates

6618 If the key is a string, it is the name of the header to be matched.
6619 The following keys are available:
6620 @code{Subject}, @code{From}, @code{Date}, @code{Message-ID},
6621 @code{References}, @code{To}, @code{Cc}, @code{Chars}, @code{Lines},
6622 @code{Xref}, @code{Extra}, @code{Followup}, @code{Thread}

6625 are described later.
6626 The rest corresponds the field of the same name.
6628 Arbitrary numbers of core entries are specified after the key.
6629 Each score entry consists of these five factors:
6633 A factor that matches header. This should be a number in the cases of
6634 @code{lines} and @code{chars}, otherwise a string.
6637 A score factor. When the first item matches, the score of the message
6638 is increased or decreased by this value.
6641 A time limiting factor. If @code{nil}, the score is permanent, and in the case
6642 of a number, the score is deleted if it does not match for days
6643 (@code{wl-score-expiry-days}) from the date specified by this.
6644 The date is since Dec. 31, 1 B.C.
6647 A type factor. This specifies the way the first factor matches.
6648 Available types depend on keys.
6651 @item From, Subject, References, Message-ID
6652 For these keys in string, @code{r} and @code{R} (regexp),
6653 @code{s} and @code{S} (substring), @code{e} and @code{E} (exact match),
6654 as well as @code{f} and @code{F} (fuzzy) can be used.
6655 @code{R}, @code{S}, @code{E}, and @code{F} are case sensitive.
6658 For these keys, the following five numerical relative operators can be
6659 used: @code{<}, @code{>}, @code{=}, @code{>=}, @code{<=}.
6662 This key matches @code{From} header, and scores all follow-ups to the

6667 You can use the same types as @code{From} except for @code{f}.
6668 And a @samp{Followup} entry is automatically appended to the score file.
6671 This key scores (sub-)threads beginning with @code{Message-ID} @var{x}.
6672 A @samp{Thread} entry is automatically appended for each article that
6673 has @var{x} in the @code{References} header.
6674 You can make sure the whole thread including messages that does not have
6675 all ancestors @code{Message-ID} in @code{References} is scored.
6677 You can use the same types as @code{References} except for @code{f}.
6678 And a @samp{Thread} entry is automatically appended to the score file.
6682 A factor for extension header. This is meaningful only if the key is
6684 This specifies headers to be matched other than standard headers like
6685 @code{Subject} and @code{From}.

6778 The data written in @file{~/.addresses} are used for address completion
6779 under draft editing mode. Furthermore, they are used when showing names
6780 in summary display mode. You can safely skip this section, if you don't
6781 want to customize address completion and summary display.
6782 It is possible to add/change/remove addresses from @file{~/.addresses} in
6783 summary buffer after Wanderlust is invoked. @refill
6785 The format is very simple. Like this. @refill
6790 # @r{Lines begin with @samp{#} are comment.}

6797 foo@@bar.gohome.org "Mr. Foo" "John Foo"
6798 bar@@foo.gohome.org "Mr. Bar" "Michael Bar"
6803 One line defines one persons description.
6805 Actually, in default setup, @var{nickname} is used in summary-mode and
6806 @var{realname} is used in draft preparation mode. This behavior is
6807 better understood if you try it and confirmed the function first. You
6808 can write and try a small definition, so you will know the idea of the
6809 address book before writing a big one.
6811 And, if MH alias file is specified in variable @code{wl-alias-file},
6812 it is used as an address information in the draft preparation mode.
6814 If variable @code{wl-use-ldap} is non-nil (initial setting is

6817 If you use LDAP, you have to set @code{wl-ldap-server},

6947 @code{wl-refile-rule-alist}.
6950 Make judgement on entering the summary of specified folder.
6952 Specify the value of @code{wl-spam-auto-check-folder-regexp-list}
6953 as the list of regular expressions for folder names to be
6954 automatically judged by spam filter.
6957 (setq wl-spam-auto-check-folder-regexp-list '("\\+inbox"))
6960 In this example, judgement will be processed when you enter summary of
6961 the folder whose name contains @samp{+inbox}.
6964 Make judgement on splitting messages with @code{elmo-split}.
6966 It provides new function @code{spam-p} to be specified as @samp{CONDITION}
6967 in @code{elmo-split-rule}. This function returns true when the message

6996 Folders containing messages judged as spam.
6997 (The folder specified by @code{wl-spam-folder})
6999 Folders containing messages judged as non-spam.
7001 Folders containing messages not yet judged. Folders without
7002 pre-distribution may belong to this domain e.g. @samp{+inbox}.
7003 (specified by @code{wl-spam-undecided-folder-regexp-list})
7005 Foldes have nothing to do with spam processing e.g.

7010 When you refile messages across different domains, it automatically
7011 learn messages as @samp{spam} or @samp{non-spam} according to domains
7012 it belongs before and after.
7014 To put it concretely, it will learn by following rule:
7017 @item undecide -> spam
7020 learn as spam and cancel previous study as non-spam.

8070 @node Split messages, Batch Processing, Password Management, Advanced Issues
8071 @section Message splitting
8072 @cindex Split messages
8074 You can use @code{elmo-split} to split message in folder specified by
8075 the variable @code{elmo-split-folder} a la @command{procmail} according
8076 to some specified rules. To use this feature, set as follows in your
8077 @file{~/.emacs} at first.
8080 (autoload 'elmo-split "elmo-split" "Split messages on the folder." t)
8083 Set source folder like following.
8086 (setq elmo-split-folder "%inbox")
8089 And specify the rule in the variable @code{elmo-split-rule} (its format
8090 will be is described below).
8091 Then you can invoke @kbd{M-x elmo-split} to split messages according to
8092 @code{elmo-split-rule}. On the other hand, invoke @kbd{C-u M-x elmo-split}
8093 to do a rehearsal and show result (do not split actually).
8096 We will describe how to specify the rule. First of all, see following
8101 (setq elmo-split-rule
8102 ;; @r{Store messages from spammers into @samp{+junk}}
8103 '(((or (address-equal from "i.am@@spammer")
8104 (address-equal from "dull-work@@dull-boy")
8105 (address-equal from "death-march@@software")
8106 (address-equal from "ares@@aon.at")
8107 (address-equal from "get-money@@richman"))

8112 ;; @r{and continue evaluating following rules}
8113 ((equal x-ml-name "wanderlust") "%wanderlust" continue)
8114 ;; @r{Store messages from Yahoo user into @samp{+yahoo-@{username@}}}
8115 ((match from "\\(.*\\)@@yahoo\\.com")
8117 ;; @r{Store unmatched mails into @samp{+inbox}}
8122 The basic unit of the rule is a combination like
8125 (@samp{CONDITION} @samp{ACTION} [@code{continue}])
8128 If @samp{CONDITION} is true, @samp{ACTION} is performed.
8129 The 1st element @samp{CONDITION} is a condition represented by a
8130 balanced expression (sexp). Its grammar will be explained below.
8131 The 2nd element @samp{ACTION} is the name of the folder to split
8132 messages into, or a symbol. When the 3rd element @code{continue} is
8133 specified as symbol, evaluating rules is not stopped even when the
8134 condition is satisfied.
8136 The grammar for @samp{CONDITION} is as follows. See example above to
8137 learn how to write the condition practically.
8141 Functions which accept arguments @samp{FIELD-NAME} and @samp{VALUE}.
8142 (@samp{FIELD-NAME} is a symbol that describes the field name)
8146 True if the field value equals to @samp{VALUE}.
8147 Case of the letters are ignored.
8149 True if the field value matches to VALUE.
8150 @samp{VALUE} can contain @code{\&} and @code{\N} which will substitute
8151 from matching @code{\(\)} patterns in the previous @samp{VALUE}.
8152 @item @code{address-equal}
8153 True if one of the addresses in the field equals to
8154 @samp{VALUE}. Case of the letters are ignored.
8155 @item @code{address-match}
8156 True if one of the addresses in the field matches to
8158 @samp{VALUE} can contain @code{\&} and @code{\N} which will substitute
8159 from matching @code{\(\)} patterns in the previous @samp{VALUE}.
8163 Functions which accept an integer argument (@samp{SIZE}).
8167 True if the size of the message is less than @samp{SIZE}.
8169 True if the size of the message is greater than @samp{SIZE}.
8173 Functions which accept any number of arguments.
8177 True if one of the argument returns true.
8179 True if all of the arguments return true.
8185 When a symbol is specified, it is evaluated.
8188 You can specify followings as 2nd @samp{ACTION}.
8194 If some string is specified, it will be regarded as the destination
8195 folder, and the message will be appended to it.
8200 If the symbol @samp{delete} is specified, delete the substance of the
8201 message in @code{elmo-split-folder}
8206 If the symbol @samp{noop} is specified, do nothing on the message and
8212 If some function is specified, execute it.
8215 If the message passes all rules, it will be dealed along @samp{ACTION}
8216 specified by @code{elmo-split-default-action}.

8260 If you type @kbd{a} in the Summary Buffer, a draft for reply is prepared.
8261 The addressee for the draft is decided by following rules.
8263 For example, you can set as follows:
8267 (setq wl-draft-reply-without-argument-list
8268 '(("Mail-Followup-To" . (("Mail-Followup-To") nil ("Newsgroups")))
8269 ("Followup-To" . (nil nil ("Followup-To")))
8270 (("X-ML-Name" "Reply-To") . (("Reply-To") nil nil))
8271 ("From" . (("From") ("To" "Cc") ("Newsgroups")))))
8275 Where each element of the list @code{wl-draft-reply-without-argument-list}
8279 (key . (to-list cc-list newsgroup-list))
8282 and if the field designated by @samp{key} exist in the parent message,
8283 parent's field values designated by @samp{to-list} are copied to @samp{To:}
8284 in the draft. Similarly, parent's fields designated by @samp{cc-list} and
8285 @samp{newsgroup-list} are copied to @samp{Cc:} and @samp{Newsgroups:} in
8286 the draft respectively.
8291 ("Mail-Followup-To" . (("Mail-Followup-To") nil ("Newsgroups")))
8294 Match if the parent has @samp{Mail-Followup-To} field.
8295 The components of parent's @samp{Mail-Followup-To} and @samp{Newsgroups}
8296 fields are copied to @samp{To} and @samp{Newsgroups} in the draft
8300 (("X-ML-Name" "Reply-To") . (("Reply-To") nil nil))
8303 Match if the parent has both @samp{X-ML-Name} and @samp{Reply-To} fields.
8304 Parent's @samp{Reply-To} is copied to @samp{To} in the draft.
8307 ("From" . (("From") ("To" "Cc") ("Newsgroups")))
8310 Copy parent's @samp{From} to @samp{To} in the draft, parent's @samp{To} and
8311 @samp{Cc} to @samp{Cc}, parent's @samp{Newsgroups} to @samp{Newsgroups}
8314 These are evaluated in order and first matched one is used.
8316 Moreover, the behavior of @kbd{a} with prefix argument can
8317 be directed by @code{wl-draft-reply-with-argument-list} as well.
8320 By the way, you can use some function (will be evaluated in the parent
8321 message buffer) in the place of @samp{key} or @samp{to-list} etc.
8323 If you want to write a rule for replying to message written by yourself,
8324 specify function @code{wl-draft-self-reply-p} as @samp{key}.

8721 @section Migration from prior to the version 2.12.0
8723 @subsection The conversion of msgdb
8725 From version 2.12.0 on, the structure of msgdb is changed.
8726 The msgdb for newly created folder will use this new format when created and saved.
8727 But by writing following line, you may use the old format of the msgdb as it was.
8731 (setq elmo-msgdb-default-type 'legacy)
8735 With the default setup, the old msgdb format is converted to the new
8736 format automatically. You may change this behavior by writing following
8737 lines in @file{~/.wl}.
8741 ;; @r{If the format of msgdb is different from} @code{elmo-msgdb-default-type},
8742 ;; @r{the format will be converted automatically when}
8743 ;; @r{the msgdb is being loaded (default).}
8744 (setq elmo-msgdb-convert-type 'auto)
8746 ;; @r{Convert msgdb when hitting @kbd{s all} in Summary mode}
8747 (setq elmo-msgdb-convert-type 'sync)
8749 ;; @r{Inhibit conversion}
8750 (setq elmo-msgdb-convert-type nil)
8754 As is explained in above section, you may continue to use the old format.
8755 But you will have following limitations.
8759 You cannot use forwarded mark (@samp{F}, @samp{f}).
8761 You may only use @samp{important} flag. The other global flags may not
8765 @subsection Changes from @samp{'mark} folder to @samp{'flag}.
8767 The folder @samp{'mark} will be automatically converted to @samp{'flag}
8768 folder when you first start the new version of Wanderlust.
8769 But there are some restrictions on this type of migrated folder.
8773 @samp{important} flag attached will not be
8774 removed by deleting the associated message in @samp{'flag} folder.
8777 The message won't be deleted by removing
8778 @samp{important} flag in @samp{'flag} folder.
8781 help-echo will not show you the old message.
8785 If you have problem with migrating
8786 from @samp{'mark} folder to the @samp{'flag} folder,
8788 @kbd{M-x elmo-global-mark-upgrade} will transfer the message
8789 from @samp{'mark} folder to the @samp{'flag} folder.
8790 The duplicated message will not be processed,
8791 you may issue that command repeatedly.

8961 read mail anywhere @result{} desire to wander ?)
8963 Elmo is the abbreviation of @samp{Elisp Library for Message
8964 Orchestration}. At first I meant the red puppet in the Sesame Street,
8965 but you may associate it with Wandering @result{} Drifting @result{}
8966 Guidepost @result{} St.@: Elmo's fire @result{} elmo.
