@vindex message-included-forward-headers
Regexp matching header lines to be included in forwarded messages.
+@item message-make-forward-subject-function
+@vindex message-make-forward-subject-function
+A list of functions that are called to generate a subject header for
+forwarded messages. The subject generated by the previous function is
+passed into each successive function.
+
+The provided functions are:
+
+@table @code
+@item message-forward-subject-author-subject
+@findex message-forward-subject-author-subject
+Source of article (author or newsgroup), in brackets followed by the
+subject.
+
+@item message-forward-subject-fwd
+Subject of article with @samp{Fwd:} prepended to it.
+@end table
+
+@item message-wash-forwarded-subjects
+@vindex message-wash-forwarded-subjects
+If this variable is @code{t}, the subjects of forwarded messages have
+the evidence of previous forwards (such as @samp{Fwd:}, @samp{Re:},
+@samp{(fwd)}) removed before the new subject is
+constructed. The default value is @code{nil}.

-Yank the message that's being replied to into the message buffer

@cindex Supercite
Function for citing an original message. The default is
@code{message-cite-original}, which simply inserts the original message
-and prepends @samp{> } to each line. You can also set it to
-@code{sc-cite-original} to use Supercite.

+@code{message-cite-original-without-signature} does the same, but elides
+the signature. You can also set it to @code{sc-cite-original} to use
+Supercite.
@item message-indent-citation-function
@vindex message-indent-citation-function
The text is killed and an ellipsis (@samp{[...]}) will be inserted in
its place.
+@item C-c C-z

+@findex message-kill-to-signature
+Kill all the text up to the signature, or if that's missing, up to the
+end of the message (@code{message-kill-to-signature}).

buffers.
+@item message-subject-re-regexp
+@vindex message-subject-re-regexp
+Responses to messages have subjects that start with @samp{Re: }. This
+is @emph{not} an abbreviation of the English word ``response'', but in
+Latin, and means ``in response to''. Some illiterate nincompoops have
+failed to grasp this fact, and have ``internationalized'' their software
+to use abonimations like @samp{Aw: } (``antwort'') or @samp{Sv: }
+(``svar'') instead, which is meaningless and evil. However, you may
+have to deal with users that use these evil tools, in which case you may
+set this variable to a regexp that matches these prefixes. Myself, I
+just throw away non-compliant mail.

@item message-signature-setup-hook
@vindex message-signature-setup-hook
Hook run when initializing the message buffer. It is run after the
the to address and the group name. (Any of these may be @code{nil}.)
The function should return the new buffer name.

+@item message-delete-frame-on-exit
+@vindex message-delete-frame-on-exit
+The @code{message-delete-frame-on-exit} variable says whether to delete
+the frame after sending the message or killing the message buffer. If it
+is @code{nil} (which is the default), don't delete the frame. If it is
+@code{ask}, ask wheter to delete the frame. If it is @code{t}, always
+delete the frame.
