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.

646 from/to each of the following buffers. Details of each ones are
647 explained in following chapters.
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
760 ;; @r{Example: Use SSL connection}
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}).
775 ;; @r{Example: password in raw format}

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}
941 .inbox -> @file{~/Maildir/inbox}
942 .from/teranisi -> @file{~/Maildir/from/teranisi}

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}

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.

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).

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).

1596 Pick up messages with flag specified by @var{flag-name}.
1598 You can specify following flag names:
1603 important -> important
1605 forwarded -> forwarded
1606 digest -> unread or important
1607 any -> unread or replied or forwarded or global-flag.
1611 You can also use flags which you have set as `global-flag'. global-flag
1612 is a flag which has arbitrary name. You can put global-flag on messages
1613 by invoking @code{wl-summary-set-flags} (Key @key{F}). By default,
1614 @samp{important} flag is prepared. You can view messages with
1615 global-flag by visiting the subfolder of @samp{'flag} folder.
1617 @xref{Internal Folder}.
1623 /flag:digest/%inbox -> a folder consist of unread or important
1625 /flag:wl/+ML/Wanderlust -> a folder consist of messages with global flag
1626 wl in +ML/Wanderlust.
1633 A condition starting with @samp{!} indicates a negation.
1634 If you combine conditions by character @samp{|}, it is considered as OR condition.
1635 @samp{&} is considered as AND condition, likewise.
1636 Condition can be grouped by parentheses (@samp{(}, and @samp{)}).

1707 When you access the pipe folder, messages are automatically transferred
1708 from @var{source-folder} to @var{destination-folder}.
1709 It is convenient if you want to download messages to local disk via POP.
1710 For example, if you specify following
1713 |&username@@popserver|+inbox
1717 and access it, Wanderlust downloads messages from
1718 @samp{&username@@popserver} to @samp{+inbox} automatically.
1720 On the other hand, if you put @samp{|:} instead of second @samp{|},
1721 then messages are copied to the destination folder (not deleted from
1722 source-folder). At the next time you access that folder, copies new
1726 @samp{|} @var{source-folder} @samp{|:} @var{destination-folder}
1729 If you want to copy messages from POP server and view them, specify the

2278 As described before, subscribed folder list is saved in @file{~/.folders} file.
2279 But you don't have to edit @file{~/.folders} directly.
2280 You can append, delete, edit folders from folder mode.
2282 @subsection Usage (Tips)
2284 @subsubsection Append Folder
2286 @kbd{m a} appends new folder to your folder list. If you enter non-existent
2287 folder, it will ask you to create a new one.
2288 @kbd{m g} appends new folder group.
2289 To append new folder to this group, firstly open it,
2290 then execute append command in the next line.
2292 @subsubsection Edit Folder
2294 You can cut folder by @kbd{C-k}, paste by @kbd{C-y}.
2295 Thus, you can change folder position as if you were editing a normal file.
2297 @subsubsection Create Multi Folder.
2301 Type @kbd{m q} to clear @code{wl-fldmgr-cut-entity-list}.
2303 Cut folder by @kbd{C-k} or copy folder by @kbd{M-c}.
2305 Type @kbd{m m}, then you can create multi folder.
2308 @subsubsection Delete Nickname, Filter
2310 You can delete nickname or filter by putting ``''(@var{NULL}) from the
2311 minibuffer while appending.
2313 @subsubsection Append Folder to Empty Group
2315 To append new folder to the empty folder group
2316 (after you create folder group by typing @kbd{m g}),
2317 firstly open it, then execute append command in the next line.
2318 If it is closed, folder is appended on the same level with
2319 the folder group above. It is difficult to explain by words so try it.
2320 In other words, appended position depends on the
2321 open/close status of the upper one.
2323 @subsubsection Charset of the Folders File.
2325 @code{wl-mime-charset} is used for saving @code{wl-folders-file}.
2327 @subsubsection Create Filter
2329 @kbd{m f} adds filter to the folder at the current cursor point. To
2330 create new filter folder and leave the current folder unchanged, copy it
2331 @kbd{M-c}, make filter @kbd{m f} and paste it @kbd{C-y}. Multiple
2332 filter can be specified while appending filter. If you put
2333 ``''(@var{NULL}), filter is deleted.
2335 @subsubsection Sort Folders
2337 Sorting of the folders is executed by the function specified by
2338 @code{wl-fldmgr-sort-function}.
2339 The initial setting is @code{wl-fldmgr-sort-standard},
2340 which sorts alphabetically.
2341 Sorting affects only on the current folder group. It does not
2342 affect on the child groups.
2344 @subsubsection Hiding Folders in the Access Group
2346 Usually, access group displays all children folders, but you can set
2347 some folders hidden. Following operations are only available on access
2350 Command @code{wl-fldmgr-unsubscribe} (@kbd{u}) toggles the visibility
2351 (subscribe/unsubscribe) of the folder at current cursor point. Against
2352 this, @code{wl-fldmgr-unsubscribe-region} (@kbd{U}) hides folders in the
2355 Note that @code{wl-fldmgr-unsubscribe-region} does not toggle while
2356 @code{wl-fldmgr-unsubscribe} toggles. These two commands accept prefix
2357 argument and if the argument has positive number, the unsubscribe it.
2358 If the prefix argument has negative value, folder becomes visible and if
2359 zero, folder visibility is toggled.
2361 The other commands, @code{wl-fldmgr-subscribe} and
2362 @code{wl-fldmgr-subscribe-region} are also prepared (not binded to the
2365 Moreover, if @code{wl-fldmgr-cut} or @code{wl-fldmgr-cut-region} is
2366 executed in the access group, they have a same effect with
2367 @code{wl-fldmgr-unsubscribe} and @code{wl-fldmgr-unsubscribe-region}.
2368 The difference is that cut commands deletes folders from the current
2371 @subsubsection Operations in the Access Group
2373 You can insert and delete folders in the access group like usual folder
2374 group. But insert and delete commands can be only available for the
2375 children folders of the access group and they only sets the subscribe
2376 status. In other words, insertion of the folder means subscribing,
2377 deletion means unsubscribing.
2378 @footnote{In the current implementation,
2379 it is faster to delete region than to unsubscribe region.}
2381 To update the access group when children folders are inserted or deleted
2382 by other way (other than Wanderlust),
2383 open the access group by typing @kbd{C-u @key{RET}}.
2384 @xref{Selecting Folder}.
2386 The order of children folders of access group is saved after
2387 insertion/deletion/sorting.
2388 If you set @code{wl-force-fetch-folders} to non-nil or open access group
2389 by typing @kbd{C-u @key{RET}}, disappeared folders are deleted and
2390 newly created folders are inserted on the top of the access group.

2667 In the summary mode, messages are displayed like following.
2671 377 09/16(Wed)11:57 [+1: Takuro Kitame ] Bug?
2672 381 09/17(Thu)00:16 [+3: Fujikazu Okuni ] elmo-lha.el -- LHA interface

2681 @var{Message number}, @var{Temporal mark}, @var{Persistent mark}, @var{Date}, @var{Sender}, @var{Subject}
2685 If you want to know how to change the format for this, please refer
2686 the section format of Summary lines.
2687 @xref{Summary View}.
2689 @var{Message number} is the message's unique number in the folder. In
2690 the NNTP folder, it is article number, in the IMAP folder, it is UID and
2691 in the MH folder, it is the filename of the message.
2693 @var{Temporal mark} and @var{Persistent mark} are described later.
2695 @var{Date} is displayed like @samp{@var{Month}/@var{Day}(@var{Week
2696 Day})@var{Hour}:@var{Minute}}. Default setting displays week day in
2697 Japanese, but if you want to display it in English, set the value of
2698 @code{wl-summary-weekday-name-lang} as @samp{en}.
2700 @var{Sender}'s indentation corresponds to the depth of the thread.
2701 Sender name is displayed as nickname if it is defined in the address
2702 book. Set @code{wl-use-petname} as @code{nil}, if you want to quit
2703 displaying with nickname.
2705 If number is printed at the head of @var{Sender} part like @samp{+2},
2706 that means the message have 2 follow messages.
2708 @var{Subject} is the @samp{Subject:} header field of the message. If
2709 the message have same @samp{Subject:} with the parent message, it is not
2710 displayed. Some mailing list puts its sequence number in the
2711 @samp{Subject:} field, but it is
2712 ignored. @code{wl-summary-no-subject-message} is displayed when the
2713 message has empty subject field.
2715 @subsection Temporary Marks
2716 @cindex Mark, Temporary
2718 There are seven temporary marks,
2719 @samp{*}, @samp{d}, @samp{D}, @samp{o}, @samp{O}, @samp{i} and @samp{~}.
2720 Temporary marks indicates message operations.
2725 You can execute a command on the all messages that have @samp{*} mark,
2726 with the key bindings which begins with @kbd{m}.
2729 The mark to dispose. You can put @samp{d} by typing @kbd{d} key.
2732 The mark to force delete. You can put @samp{D} by typing @kbd{D} key.
2736 After you type @kbd{o} key, prompt appears to input refile destination.
2737 Your answer is printed in the summary line.
2741 You can put this mark by typing @kbd{O} key.
2742 The difference between this mark and refile mark is,
2743 this mark does not delete the message while latter does.
2746 The mark to prefetch reserved.
2747 You can put this mark by typing @kbd{i} key.
2750 The mark to resend reserved.
2751 After you type @kbd{~} key, prompt appears to input address to resend.
2752 Your answer is printed in the summary line.
2755 @kbd{x} key executes action for temporary marks, respectively.
2757 @subsection Persistent Marks
2759 There are ten persistent marks, @samp{!}, @samp{N}, @samp{n}, @samp{U},
2760 @samp{u}, @samp{A}, @samp{a}, @samp{F}, @samp{f} and @samp{$}.
2762 The persistent mark indicates the message's status and it is saved.
2763 Each persistent mark indicates:
2769 It is new message. It differs from @samp{N} that message with @samp{n}
2772 It is unread message.
2774 It is unread message. It differs from @samp{U} that message with @samp{u}
2777 It is message already read. It differs from message without mark that
2778 message with @samp{!} is not cached yet.
2780 It is already replied message.
2782 It is already replied message. It differs from @samp{A} that message
2783 with @samp{a} is already cached.
2785 It is already forwarded message.
2787 It is already forwarded message. It differs from @samp{F} that message
2788 with @samp{f} is already cached.
2790 It is a message with some global flag. It is convenient to put this
2791 mark on the messages to remember (If you want to remember to write a
2792 reply for the message, for example) because this mark remains after
2793 you exited Emacs. Messages with the @samp{$} mark can be reviewed in
2794 the @samp{'flag} folder even the message itself is deleted in the actual
2795 folder. You can put global flag by typing @kbd{$} or @kbd{F} key.
2798 If the message is read and cached (or local message),there are no
2802 @samp{N}, @samp{U}, @samp{!}, @samp{A}, @samp{F} indicates that the
2803 message have no cache. Messages with the marks other than these, you
2804 can read them in the offline status even they are in the IMAP folder or
2807 Among messages with persistent marks, ones with marks specified by
2808 @code{wl-summary-expire-reserve-marks} are excluded from the expiration
2809 (as a function of wanderlust) explained later. @xref{Expire and Archive}.
2811 @subsection How To Read
2813 Basically, you can read messages only typing space key again and again.
2815 To update summary status to the newest status (synchronize),
2818 You can jump to next unread message by typing @kbd{N} key, and @kbd{n} key
2819 moves cursor to the next message.
2820 Enter message buffer by typing @kbd{j} key.
2821 To operate multipart, you have to enter to the message buffer.
2824 @subsection Pack the Message Numbers
2825 You can pack the message numbers in Summary by
2826 @kbd{M-x wl-summary-pack-number}. Note that only MH Folder,
2827 News Spool Folder and Maildir Folder are supported folder types.
2830 @node Thread Operations, Cache, Usage of Summary Mode, Summary
2831 @section Thread Operations
2833 For example, the following line indicates one thread (a context of a topic).
2836 384 09/17(Thu)01:32 [+1: Teranishi ] wl-0.6.2
2840 If you type @kbd{/} on this line, the thread is opened and it changes
2841 the appearance like following.
2845 384 09/17(Thu)01:32 [ Teranishi ] wl-0.6.2
2846 388 09/17(Thu)22:34 +-[ Murata san ]
2850 (Message 388 is the replied message to the message 384.)
2851 If you type @kbd{/} key once again, the thread is closed.
2852 With prefix argument, @kbd{/} opens all children threads.
2854 If you type @kbd{[}, opens all threads in summary. @kbd{]} closes all
2857 Commands with the key binding that begins with @kbd{t} executes commands
2858 on the messages in the thread.
2859 @xref{Key Bindings of Summary}.
2861 @subsection reconstruct thread by hand
2863 You can reconstruct the thread manually. In Summary, @kbd{M-w}
2864 (@code{wl-summary-save-current-message}) at the corresponding message,
2865 and @kbd{C-y} (@code{wl-summary-yank-saved-message}) at the new parent
2866 message then you have the reconstructed thread.
2869 @node Cache, Auto Refile, Thread Operations, Summary
2872 @subsection Cache File
2874 The messages which have to access via network (e.x. IMAP, NNTP folder)
2875 are cached as a local file so as to save network traffic or to enable
2876 off-line operation. The cache file is saved under the directory
2877 @file{~/.elmo/cache}. To expire cache, type @kbd{M-x
2878 elmo-cache-expire-by-size}. The command deletes cache files to the
2879 specified size by the order of last accessed time.
2881 @subsection Buffer Cache and Prefetching
2883 The messages that are read are kept in the cache buffer so as to make
2884 the behavior fast when you are to read the message again. It is called
2885 `buffer cache'. The number of cache buffer is specified by
2886 @code{wl-message-buffer-cache-size}.
2888 There are message prefetching mechanism in the Wanderlust that
2889 prefetches next message while you are reading.
2891 You can control the message prefetching mechanism by these two
2895 @item wl-message-buffer-prefetch-folder-type-list
2896 @vindex wl-message-buffer-prefetch-folder-type-list
2897 The initial setting is @code{'(imap4 nntp)}. If it is a list of folder
2898 types, it specifies the folder types in which message prefetching is
2899 enabled. In initial setting, messages are prefetch only in the nntp and
2900 imap4 folders. In this case, multi folder that contains localdir and
2901 imap4 prefetches only imap4 messages. This variable precedes the value of
2902 @code{wl-message-buffer-prefetch-folder-list}.
2903 To prefetch messages in all folder types, specify @code{t}.
2905 @item wl-message-buffer-prefetch-folder-list
2906 @vindex wl-message-buffer-prefetch-folder-list
2907 The initial setting is @code{nil}.
2908 A list of regexp of folders to enable message prefetching.
2910 @item wl-message-buffer-prefetch-depth
2911 @vindex wl-message-buffer-prefetch-depth
2912 The initial setting is 1. The number of messages for automatical prefetch.
2914 @item wl-message-buffer-prefetch-idle-time
2915 @vindex wl-message-buffer-prefetch-idle-time
2916 The initial setting is 1 (in seconds). The period of automatical prefetch.
2918 @item wl-message-buffer-prefetch-threshold
2919 @vindex wl-message-buffer-prefetch-threshold
2920 The initial setting is 30000 (bytes). If prefetching message has larger
2921 size than this value, Wanderlust does not prefetch automatically.
2922 If @code{wl-message-buffer-prefetch-threshold} is @code{nil},
2923 the message is not checked for the size.
2925 @item wl-auto-prefetch-first
2926 @vindex wl-auto-prefetch-first
2927 The initial setting is @code{nil}.
2928 If non-nil, first message is automatically prefetched to the buffer
2929 when you enter the folder.
2933 @node Auto Refile, Sticky Summary, Cache, Summary
2934 @section Auto Refile
2935 @vindex elmo-msgdb-extra-fields
2936 @vindex wl-refile-rule-alist
2937 @findex wl-summary-auto-refile
2939 You can refile messages automatically, by typing @kbd{C-o}
2940 (@code{wl-summary-auto-refile}). It decides destination of refile by
2941 the content of the message header information (information in the msgdb).
2943 By default, @samp{From:}, @samp{Subject:}, @samp{To:} and @samp{Cc:} is
2944 available. If you want to decide destination by other header fields,
2945 set the variable @code{elmo-msgdb-extra-fields} like following.
2949 (setq elmo-msgdb-extra-fields
2959 By this setting, Wanderlust saves extra fields in the msgdb. You have
2960 to type @kbd{s all} to get extra fields for the messages that are
2961 already exists in the summary.
2963 Then, specify the refile rule. The refile target folder of auto
2964 refiling is decided by the value of @code{wl-refile-rule-alist}.
2965 @code{wl-refile-rule-alist} is a list of a rule:
2969 (@var{field} (@var{regexp} . @var{target})
2970 (@var{regexp} . @var{target})
2975 Each rule means `if @var{field} value matches @var{regexp},
2976 then refile to @var{target} folder'.
2977 The rule matched first is applied.
2979 @var{field} is a string of field name. You can specify a list of field name
2980 string, too. In this case, if one of these fields is matched, then the
2981 rule is fired (i.e. OR condition).
2983 @var{regexp} is a regular expression for field value. @var{target} is a target
2984 folder string. You can specify a rule at @var{target} part, too. In this
2985 case, If the field value of the rule and the current rule is matched,
2986 then the current rule is fired (i.e. AND condition).
2988 You can refer matched substring of @var{regexp} to specify @var{target} part.
2989 To refer substring, use following keys:
2993 means substitute original matched text.
2996 means substitute what matched the @var{N}th `\(@dots{}\)'.
2997 (@var{N} is a number.)
3000 Following is an example of @code{wl-refile-rule-alist}.
3004 (setq wl-refile-rule-alist
3006 ("^Wanderlust" . "+wl")
3007 ("^Elisp" . "+elisp"))
3009 ("\\([a-z]+\\)@@gohome\\.org" . "+\\1"))
3011 ("me@@gohome\\.org" . ("To" ("you@@gohome\\.org" .
3012 "+from-me-to-you"))))))
3016 After these settings, refile marks are automatically put on the condition
3017 matched messages by typing @kbd{C-o} (@code{wl-summary-auto-refile}).
3019 Messages which have @code{wl-summary-auto-refile-skip-marks} is skipped
3021 By default, @samp{N}, @samp{U} and @samp{!} is specified, so the messages
3022 with these persistent marks are not automatically refiled.
3023 It means Wanderlust does not execute auto refile on unread messages by
3024 the default setting.
3025 To execute auto refile on all messages, set following.
3028 (setq wl-summary-auto-refile-skip-marks nil)
3032 @node Sticky Summary, Summary View, Auto Refile, Summary
3033 @section Sticky Summary
3034 @cindex Summary, Sticky
3035 @cindex Sticky Summary
3037 The buffer of the `sticky summary' does not killed by typing @kbd{q}.
3039 By entering the summary by typing @kbd{Shift RET} in Folder mode or
3040 @kbd{G} in some suummary sticky summary buffer is created.
3041 Also typing @kbd{M-s} (@code{wl-summary-stick}) on the normal summary
3042 makes current one sticky.
3044 The buffer name of the sticky summary becomes like
3045 @samp{Summary:@var{folder-name}}.
3046 You can visit the sticky summary at any time by @kbd{C-x b}
3047 (@code{switch-to-buffer}), or you can go round summary buffers by
3048 @kbd{C-c C-n} (@code{wl-summary-previous-buffer}) and @kbd{C-c C-p}
3049 (@code{wl-summary-next-buffer}) in summary mode.
3051 In sticky summary, the summary buffer is preserved after @kbd{g} or
3052 @kbd{q}. To delete sticky summary, type @kbd{C-u q} to exit or move to
3053 another summary by @kbd{C-u g}. Other operations in the sticky summary
3054 are same as normal summary.
3056 @code{wl-summary-always-sticky-folder-list} specifies the folders that
3057 are automatically stuck.
3060 @node Summary View, Mark and Action, Sticky Summary, Summary
3061 @section Format of summary lines
3062 @cindex Format of summary lines
3063 You can alter the format of lines in Summary mode.
3065 Summary line format is specified by @code{wl-summary-line-format}.
3066 You can use control strings defined by
3067 @code{wl-summary-line-format-spec-alist}.
3073 ;; @r{number temporary-mark persistent-mark date branch}
3074 ;; @r{[ (number-of-children) sender ] subject}
3075 (setq wl-summary-line-format "%n%T%P%M/%D(%W) %t%[%17(%c %f%) %] %s")
3079 Where the number set the column number of the field. If negative value,
3080 the column is filled from right. If the number begins with @samp{0},
3081 @samp{0} is used for filling columns instead of @samp{ }.
3093 Major control strings defined by @code{wl-summary-line-format-spec-alist}
3094 are displayed in the following list.
3107 %t branch of the thread
3108 %[ [ (< for re-connected child)
3109 %] ] (> for re-connected child)
3113 %c +number-of-children: (display only for opened thread)
3114 %C [+number-of-children] (display only for opened thread)
3115 %# mailing list information (`(' ML-name [ ` ' ML-number ] `)')
3116 %l number in the mailing list
3117 %@@ `@@' only if the first MIME part is multipart/mixed
3118 %~ ` ' only if previous column is not empty
3122 The temporary mark (@samp{%T}) and persistent mark (@samp{%P}) must
3123 appear at the constant column. For example, if you specify @samp{%T} or
3124 @samp{%P} after the @samp{%t}, which changes its length by thread
3125 position, marks are not treated correctly.
3127 If the format string is enclosed by @samp{%number(} and @samp{%)}, the
3128 column of the enclosed region is justified to the `number'. Multiple
3129 level @samp{%number(} parenthesis can be defined. It is useful to
3130 justify the column of the multiple control strings. For example, in the
3131 above @code{wl-summary-line-format},

3152 @subsection on the format for sender name
3154 The format string @samp{%f} displays the return value of the function specified
3155 by @code{wl-summary-from-function}. If you use the function
3156 @code{wl-summary-default-from} (default), it displays sender name ordinarily,
3157 while displays the recipient names if the folder name matches with
3158 @code{wl-summary-showto-folder-regexp} and the sender is yourself.
3159 If the value of @code{wl-use-petname} is Non-nil, it uses petname to display.
3161 For example, to display recipient names for the message in @samp{+backup} if
3162 its sender is yourself, set up as follows.

3182 @samp{ARGUMENT-FUNCTION} @samp{SET-MARK-FUNCTION} @samp{EXEC-FUNCTION}
3183 @samp{FACE} @samp{DOC-STRING})
3186 @samp{MARK} is a temporary mark string, and @samp{SYMBOL} is the name of
3187 the action to be defined. @samp{ARGUMENT-FUNCTION} is a function to
3188 generate argument to be given to @samp{SET-MARK-FUNCTION}, which will be
3189 described next, and it takes arguments:
3192 (@samp{ACTION} @samp{NUMBER})
3195 Where @samp{ACTION} equals to @samp{SYMBOL}, and @samp{NUMBER} is message
3196 number. @samp{SET-MARK-FUNCTION} is a function to be called when the mark
3197 is put. It takes arguments:
3200 (@samp{NUMBER} @samp{MARK} @samp{DATA})
3203 Where @samp{NUMBER} is target message number, @samp{MARK} is a temporary
3204 mark string, and @samp{DATA} is given by @samp{ARGUMENT-FUNCTION}.
3206 @samp{EXEC-FUNCTION} is a function to be called when the action is
3207 executed. Its argument is a list of @samp{MARK-INFO}. Here @samp{MARK-INFO}
3208 means a list consists of

4683 @node Editing Message Body and Sending, Dynamical Message Re-arrangement, Editing Header, Usage of Draft Mode
4684 @subsection Editing Messages and Sending
4686 As a matter of course, editing message body can be performed in the same
4687 way as usual writing. You may write message body under
4688 @samp{--text follows this line--} line. (NOTE: Be sure to leave the line
4689 @samp{--text follows this line--} intact.)
4691 Multi-part editing utilize MIME edit mode of SEMI. For procedures of
4692 editing, refer to respective documents. @xref{MIME-Edit, , ,mime-ui-en,
4693 a MIME user interface for GNU Emacs}.
4694 You can also see help by @kbd{C-c C-x ?} in draft buffer.
4696 If you save the draft buffer you are editing, it is appended to the
4697 folder specified by @code{wl-draft-folder}. You can leave draft buffer
4698 after storing it for future editing by @kbd{C-c C-z} (@code{wl-draft-save-and-exit}).
4700 If you have finished editing, you can send message by @kbd{C-c C-c}.

4705 @vindex wl-draft-config-alist
4706 @c @cindex Change Message
4707 @c @cindex Message, Change Dynamic
4709 You can set @code{wl-draft-config-alist} so that header and body of the
4710 message will automatically modified depending on information of header
4713 The initial setting of @code{wl-draft-config-alist} is @code{nil}.
4715 In the example below, the header is modified when
4716 @code{wl-draft-send-and-exit} or @code{wl-draft-send} is invoked. You
4717 can set @code{wl-interactive-send} to non-nil so as to confirm changes
4718 before sending the message.
4722 (setq wl-draft-config-alist
4723 '(((string-match "aaa\\.example\\.com$" (system-name))
4724 ;; @r{applied if the expression is non-nil}
4725 (wl-smtp-posting-server . "mailserver-B")
4726 (wl-nntp-posting-server . "newsserver-B")
4727 ;; @r{settings of temporary variables}
4729 ("^To: .*user@@aaa\\.bbb\\.example\\.com"
4730 ;; @r{applied if it matches the header of the draft buffer}
4731 ("Organization" . (format "Go %s" my-webpage)))
4732 ;; @r{you can write elisp expressions here (eval only)}
4733 (top . "Hello.\n") ;; @r{inserted at the top of the body}
4734 (bottom . "\nBye.\n") ;; @r{inserted at the bottom of the body}
4739 The format of @code{wl-draft-config-alist} is:
4743 '(("@var{regexp of the header}" or @var{elisp expression}
4744 ("@var{Field}" . value(@var{elisp expression}))
4745 (@var{variable} . value(@var{elisp expression}))
4746 (@var{sub-function} . value(@var{elisp expression}))
4749 ("@var{regexp of the header}" or @var{elisp expression}
4750 ("@var{Field}" . value(@var{elisp expression}))
4755 Per default, there are 13 following sub-functions.
4758 'header: Inserts the specified string at the bottom of the header.
4759 'header-top: Inserts the specified string at the top of the header.
4760 'header-file: Inserts the specified file at the bottom of the header.
4761 'x-face: Inserts @samp{X-Face:} field with the content of the specified file.
4762 'top: Inserts the specified string at the top of the body.
4763 'top-file: Inserts the specified file at the top of the body.
4764 'body: Replaces the body with the specified string.
4765 Specifying @code{nil} deletes the entire body string.
4766 'body-file: Replaces the body with the content of the specified file.
4767 'bottom: Inserts the specified string at the bottom of the body.
4768 'bottom-file: Inserts the specified file at the top of the body.
4769 'part-top: Inserts the specified string at the top of the current part.
4770 'part-bottom: Inserts the specified string at the bottom of the current part.
4771 'template: Applies the specified template.
4772 (refer to the next subsection)
4775 These are defined in @code{wl-draft-config-sub-func-alist} and you can
4776 change them or add your own functions. If you read the code, you can
4777 easily find how to write the functions.
4779 At the first of each item, @var{a regular expression of the header} or
4780 an @var{elisp expression} should be specified. In the case of an elisp
4781 expression, the item is applied when the expression is evaluated
4784 Per default, when multiple items match or are evaluated non-nil, all
4785 such items are applied, but if you set a variable
4786 @code{wl-draft-config-matchone} to @code{t}, only the first matching one
4789 At the second of the item, a cons or a list of functions should be
4790 specified. The car part of the cons should be a header field, a
4791 variable, or a sub-function. When a header field is specified, the
4792 field will be modified. If a variable is specified, the value of the
4793 variable will be modified temporarily.
4795 In the cdr part of a cons, not only a variable but also an elisp
4796 expression can be specified as is. If the car part is a header field
4797 and the cdr part is @code{nil}, the field will be deleted.
4799 See the next example as well:
4803 (setq wl-draft-config-alist
4805 "X-ML-Name: \\(Wanderlust\\|emacs-mime-ja\\|apel-ja\\)"
4806 ;; @r{applied if it matches the header of the buffer being replied}
4807 (body . " Hello.\n")
4808 (template . "default")
4813 As in the (1) above, if a header regexp is prepended with @code{reply},
4814 it is applied when the draft is prepared by @code{wl-summary-reply} for
4815 example, and when it matches the header being replied. It is ignored
4816 when there is no buffer being replied, like after @code{wl-draft} was
4819 If you want to use name of parent folder, you can refer the buffer local
4820 variable @code{wl-draft-parent-folder}. In the following example, Wanderlust
4821 changes From according to the folder name of the summary in which the draft
4826 (setq wl-draft-config-alist
4827 '(((string-match \".*@@domain1$\" wl-draft-parent-folder)
4828 (\"From\" . \"user@@domain1\"))
4829 ((string-match \".*@@domain2$\" wl-draft-parent-folder)
4830 (\"From\" . \"user@@domain2\"))))
4835 Note that @code{wl-draft-config-alist} is applied only once when
4836 @code{wl-draft-send-and-exit} or @code{wl-draft-send} is invoked.
4837 Therefore, if you want to apply @code{wl-draft-config-alist} again after
4838 aborting transmission, execute @kbd{C-c C-e}
4839 (@code{wl-draft-config-exec}) explicitly.
4841 If you don't want to apply @code{wl-draft-config-alist} when
4842 @code{wl-draft-send-and-exit} or @code{wl-draft-send} is invoked,
4846 (remove-hook 'wl-draft-send-hook 'wl-draft-config-exec)
4849 If you want to apply @code{wl-draft-config-alist} when a draft buffer is
4850 prepared, do the following:
4853 (add-hook 'wl-mail-setup-hook 'wl-draft-config-exec)
4856 If you want to apply @code{wl-draft-config-alist} when you re-edit a mail
4857 from summary mode by typing @kbd{E}(@code{wl-summary-reedit}), do the
4861 (add-hook 'wl-draft-reedit-hook 'wl-draft-config-exec)
4864 @node Template, POP-before-SMTP, Dynamical Message Re-arrangement, Usage of Draft Mode
4865 @subsection Inserting Templates
4867 @cindex Apply Template
4869 Set a variable @code{wl-template-alist}, and type @kbd{C-c C-j} or
4870 @kbd{M-x wl-template-select} in the draft buffer.
4872 The format of @code{wl-template-alist} is almost the same as
4873 @code{wl-draft-config-alist}.
4874 @xref{Dynamical Message Re-arrangement}.
4878 (setq wl-template-alist
4881 ("Organization" . "Example Co.Ltd.")
4882 (body . "Hello.\n"))

4885 ("To" . "boss@@example.com")
4886 ("Subject" . "Report")
4887 (body-file . "~/work/report.txt")
4893 As you can see, the only difference is item (template) names such as
4894 @samp{default} and @samp{report}, instead of a regexp of header.
4895 Because definition of each item is the same as
4896 @code{wl-draft-config-alist}, you can call another template, like (a).
4898 Executing the command @code{wl-template-select} results in template
4899 selection, but the result differs depending on variable
4900 @code{wl-template-visible-select}.
4902 If @code{wl-template-visible-select} is @code{t} (default), a buffer
4903 window is shown below the draft buffer. You can select a template by
4904 @kbd{n} and @kbd{p} seeing the buffer window.
4906 Press the @key{RET} key and the template is actually applied to the draft
4907 buffer. If you press @kbd{q}, nothing is applied. In addition, you can
4908 adjust the window size by @code{wl-template-buffer-lines}.
4910 If @code{wl-template-visible-select} is @code{nil}, you should type the
4911 name of the template in the mini buffer.
4913 If @code{wl-template-select} is executed with prefix argument,
4914 inversed value of @code{wl-template-visible-select} is used.
4916 As shown in the example in @code{wl-draft-config-alist}, you can select
4917 @samp{default} template by writing:

5743 @vindex wl-auto-flush-queue
5744 The initial setting is @code{t}.
5745 This flag controls automatic transmission of the queue when Wanderlust
5746 becomes on-line. If non-nil, the queue is automatically transmitted
5747 (with confirmation by @code{y-or-n-p}). If you want to transmit it
5748 manually, press @kbd{F} in the folder mode.

5763 The initial setting is @code{one}.
5764 The value of @code{wl-plugged} reflects the return value of the function
5765 @code{elmo-plugged-p} (without arguments).
5766 This variable @code{elmo-plugged-condition} specifies the condition on
5767 which the return value of @code{(elmo-plugged-p)} should be t depending on the
5768 plugged state of each port.
5771 'one : plugged if one or more ports are plugged.

5825 @cindex Expire Message
5827 Expiration means deletion of old messages which have outlasted a
5828 certain period of time.
5830 @code{wl-expire} supports not only simple deletion, but also moving to
5831 specified archiving folders.
5835 Configure @code{wl-expire-alist} and press @kbd{e} in the folder mode,
5836 or @kbd{M-e} in the summary mode.
5838 @subsection Configuring @code{wl-expire-alist}
5840 An example configuration of @code{wl-expire-alist} is shown below.
5841 Everything in this @code{wl-expire-alist} makes a great difference in
5842 expiration, so be careful. I advise you to set @code{wl-expire-use-log}
5843 to @code{t}, especially in the initial stage.
5847 (setq wl-expire-alist
5848 '(("^\\+trash$" (date 14) remove)

5857 ;; @r{archive by message number (retaining numbers)}
5858 ("^\\+ml/.*" (number 300 310) wl-expire-archive-number2 t)
5859 ;; @r{archive by a fixed number (retaining numbers)}
5860 ("^\\+diary$" (date 30) wl-expire-archive-date)
5861 ;; @r{archive by year and month (numbers discarded)}
5866 Items in the list has the format of:
5869 (@var{regexp-for-folders} @var{specification-of-messages-to-be-deleted} @var{destination})
5873 The folder is examined if it matches @var{regexp-for-folders} from the
5874 beginning of the list. If you invoke expiration on the folder that does
5875 not match any of them, nothing will happen. And if either the second or
5876 the third element of the item is @code{nil}, expiration will not take
5879 You can use any one of the following for
5880 @var{specification-of-message-to-be-deleted}:
5883 @item (number @var{n1} [@var{n2}])
5884 deletes messages depending on the number of messages in the folder.
5886 @var{n1} is the number of messages which should survive deletion, for example
5887 if its value is 500, the newest 500 messages survive and the rests are
5890 @var{n2} is the number of messages in the folder on which expiration should
5891 take place, which defaults to @var{n1} + 1. For example if its value is 510,
5892 folders with 510 or more messages are expired.
5893 If you configured automatic expiration, frequently used folders may
5894 expire every time it receive messages, and you may be annoyed with the
5895 long delay in reading mail.
5896 In that case, you can set a wide margin between @var{n2} and @var{n1}, so that
5897 expiration would not take place until a certain number of messages
5900 Messages with marks in @code{wl-summary-expire-reserve-marks} (marked
5901 with important/new/unread) are not deleted.
5902 If @code{wl-expire-number-with-reserve-marks} is non-nil, the folder
5903 will expire so as to have 500 messages including such ones.
5904 Otherwise, it will have 500 messages except such ones.
5906 @item (date @var{d1})
5907 deletes messages depending on the dates.
5909 Messages dated @var{d1} or more days ago are deleted, for example if its
5910 value is seven, messages seven days old or more are deleted. Note that
5911 the date is the one in the @samp{Date:} field of the message, not when
5912 the message entered the folder.
5914 Messages with no or invalid @samp{Date:} field does not expire; you
5915 might have to delete them by hand.
5918 You can use any one of the following in the place of @var{destination}:
5922 deletes the messages instantly.
5925 hide the messages from summary (messages are not deleted).
5928 moves the messages to @code{wl-trash-folder}.
5930 @item @var{string}(folder)
5931 moves the messages to the folder specified with @var{string}.
5933 It would be useful for specifying an archiving folder, but because this
5934 does not move important messages, it might be better to use the
5935 standard functions described below.
5937 @item @var{function}
5938 invokes the specified @var{function}.
5940 To the @var{function}, three arguments are passed: a folder name, a list
5941 of messages to be deleted, and msgdb information of the summary. You
5942 can specify function-specific arguments after the name of the
5943 @var{function}. Note that the list contains messages with marks in
5944 @code{wl-summary-expire-reserve-marks}, be careful in writing your own
5947 These are four standard functions; three of them move messages to an archive
5948 folder in the specified way. This means old messages can be compressed
5949 and saved in a file, being deleted from the original folder.
5950 The last one divides messages to some MH folders.
5953 @item wl-expire-archive-number1
5954 re-files to archiving folders corresponding to the message numbers of
5955 the messages being deleted. For example, a message numbered 102 will be
5956 re-filed to @file{wl-00100.zip}, 390 to @file{wl-00300.zip}, and so on.
5957 If @code{wl-expire-archive-files} is 200, messages will be re-filed to
5958 @file{wl-00000.zip}, @file{wl-00200.zip}, @file{wl-00400.zip}, @dots{}.
5960 The archiving folders to which messages are re-filed are determined by
5961 the name of the folder as follows (in this case, archiving folders are
5962 handled as if @code{elmo-archive-treat-file} were non-nil).
5965 @item If the folder type is localdir:
5966 @file{@var{ArchiveDir}/@var{foldername}-xxxxx.zip}
5968 For example, @samp{+ml/wl} corresponds to @samp{$ml/wl;zip}
5969 (@file{~/Mail/ml/wl-00100.zip}).
5971 @item The folder type is other than localdir:
5972 @file{@var{ArchiveDir}/@var{foldertype}/@var{foldername}-xxxxx.zip}
5974 For example, @samp{%#mh/ml/wl} corresponds to
5975 @samp{$imap4/#mh/ml/wl;zip} (@file{~/Mail/imap4/#mh/ml/wl-00100.zip}).
5978 As you can see, in the case of localdir, the folder type is not included
5979 in the path name, but otherwise it is included.
5980 And you can control the prefix to the archiving folder name by
5981 @code{wl-expire-archive-folder-prefix}.
5982 Refer to @code{wl-expire-archive-folder-prefix} for details.
5984 @item wl-expire-archive-number2
5985 re-files every certain number of messages to archiving folders.
5987 This differs from @samp{wl-expire-archive-number1} in that this re-files
5988 to the folder up to the specified number regardless of message numbers.
5989 The archiving folders to which messages are re-filed are determined in the
5990 same way as @code{wl-expire-archive-number1}.
5992 @item wl-expire-archive-date
5993 re-files messages depending on its date (year and month) to archive
5996 For example, a message dated December 1998 is re-filed to
5997 @code{$folder-199812;zip}. The name of the archiving folders except the
5998 date part are determined in the same way as
5999 @code{wl-expire-archive-number1}.
6002 You can set the first argument to these three standard functions to non-nil
6003 in @code{wl-expire-alist} so as to retain message numbers in the folder.
6004 For example, it can be specified just after the name of the function:
6007 ("^\\+ml/wl$" (number 300 310) wl-expire-archive-number1 t)
6010 If you omit the argument, consecutive numbers from 1 are assigned for
6011 each archiving folder.
6013 @item wl-expire-localdir-date
6014 divedes messages depending on its date (year and month) to MH folders
6015 e.g. to @samp{+ml/wl/1999_11/}, @samp{+ml/wl/1999_12/}.
6019 @subsection Treatment for Important or Unread Messages
6021 If you specify any of @code{remove}, @code{trash}, a folder name, or a
6022 standard function, messages with marks in
6023 @code{wl-summary-expire-reserve-marks} (which are called @dfn{reserved
6024 messages} thereafter) are retained.
6026 Per default, this variable include the important, new, and unread marks,
6027 so that messages with these marks are not removed.
6028 Note that you cannot include the temporary mark (i.e. temporary marks
6029 are removed anyway), and be sure to process temporary marks before you
6032 @subsection Auto Expiration
6034 The following setup invokes expiration when you move into the summary
6035 mode. There will be no confirmation, so make sure you made no mistake
6036 in regexp and other settings before you set up this.
6040 (add-hook 'wl-summary-prepared-pre-hook 'wl-summary-expire)
6044 In the folder mode, you can invoke expiration per group as well as per
6045 folder. Therefore, if you specify @samp{Desktop} group, all folders
6046 matching @code{wl-expire-alist} expire.
6050 @subsection Treating archive folders.
6051 To treat archive folders created by @code{wl-expire-archive-number1} and so on,
6052 you must set non-nil value to @code{elmo-archive-treat-file}.
6054 @subsection Confirming
6056 If you are to use @code{remove}, try @code{trash} at first and see
6057 messages move to @code{wl-trash-folder} as expected, then replace it
6058 with @code{remove}. It would be dangerous to use @code{remove} from the
6061 If you are to use @code{wl-expire-archive-number1} and the like, try to
6062 make a folder of the archiver type (@code{zip} or @code{lha}) and see if
6063 you can append messages to it. Even if settings in
6064 @code{wl-expire-alist} and @code{elmo-archive} are correct, messages
6065 would not be saved anywhere and disappeared in case the archiver program
6068 After you make sure you can archive to the folder correctly, you can
6069 invoke expiration and utilize the log.
6071 If you set @code{wl-expire-use-log} to @code{t},
6072 @file{~/.elmo/expired-log} should contain the log, for example:
6076 delete +ml/wl (593 594 595 596 597 598 599)
6077 move +ml/wl -> $ml/wl-00600;tgz;wl (600 601 602)
6081 The first column indicates the operation, i.e. @samp{delete},
6082 @samp{copy}, or @samp{move}. The next is the name of the folder that
6083 expired. In the case of @samp{copy} and @samp{move}, the destination
6084 folder is recorded after @samp{->}. The last is the list of message
6085 numbers that are actually deleted or moved (in the case of @samp{copy}
6086 and @samp{move}, the number is the one in the source folder, rather than
6087 the destination folder).
6089 @subsection Re-filing Reserved Messages
6091 The three standard functions copy reserved messages to the archive
6092 folder, but do not delete them from the source folder. Because
6093 reserved messages and the like always remain, they are recorded in
6094 @file{~/.elmo/expired-alist} so that they are not copied over and over
6095 again. They are not recorded if copied by @code{wl-summary-archive}.
6097 If you enabled logging, usually @samp{move} is recorded for re-filing,
6098 but instead @samp{copy} and @samp{delete} are recorded separately if
6099 reserved messages are involved. This is because it actually copies
6100 messages including reserved, then deletes ones except reserved in that

6160 This variable specifies a function that returns the name of an archiving
6161 folder for standard functions in the place of @var{destination}.
6162 You can use the following three variables for simple modification of
6163 folder names; if you want more complex settings, define your own
6164 function in this variable.
6166 @code{wl-expire-archive-get-folder} can be customized by these

6177 This is a @code{format} string for archiving folders used in
6178 @code{wl-expire-archive-number1} and @code{wl-expire-archive-number2}.
6179 Note that you must specify the message number by @samp{%%d}, because it

6200 This variable specifies an archiver type of the archiving folders.
6202 @item wl-expire-archive-folder-prefix
6203 @vindex wl-expire-archive-folder-prefix
6204 The initial setting is @code{nil}.
6205 This variable specifies the prefix (directory structure) to archiving
6207 Exercise extreme caution in using this feature, as it has not been
6209 In the worst case, there is a fear of destructing archiving folders.
6213 There will be no prefix.
6216 For example, @samp{+ml/wl} will be prefixed by @samp{wl}, resulting in
6217 @samp{$ml/wl-00000;zip;wl}.
6220 For example, @samp{+ml/wl} will be prefixed by prefix @samp{ml/wl},
6223 @samp{$ml/wl-00000;zip;ml/wl}.
6226 @item wl-expire-archive-folder-num-regexp
6227 @vindex wl-expire-archive-folder-num-regexp
6228 The initial setting is @samp{-\\([-0-9]+\\);}.
6229 This variable specifies the regular expression to be used for getting
6230 message numbers from multiple archiving folders specified by
6231 @code{elmo-list-folders}.
6232 Set it in accordance with @code{wl-expire-archive-folder-name-fmt}.
6234 @item wl-expire-archive-date-folder-num-regexp
6235 @vindex wl-expire-archive-date-folder-num-regexp
6236 The initial setting is @samp{-\\([-0-9]+\\);}.
6237 This is the regular expression to be used for getting message numbers
6238 from multiple archiving folders specified by @code{elmo-list-folders}.
6239 Set it in accordance with @code{wl-expire-archive-date-folder-name-fmt}.
6241 @item wl-expire-delete-oldmsg-confirm
6242 @vindex wl-expire-delete-oldmsg-confirm
6243 The initial setting is @code{t}.
6244 If non-nil, messages older than the one with the largest number will be
6245 deleted with confirmation.
6246 If @code{nil}, they are deleted without confirmation.
6248 This feature is valid only if non-nil is specified as a argument to the
6249 standard functions so as to retain numbers.
6251 @item wl-expire-use-log
6252 @vindex wl-expire-use-log
6253 The initial setting is @code{nil}.
6254 If non-nil, expiration logs are recorded in @file{~/.elmo/expired-log}.
6255 They are appended but not truncated or rotated automatically; you might
6256 need to remove it manually.
6258 @item wl-expire-add-seen-list
6259 @vindex wl-expire-add-seen-list
6260 The initial setting is @code{t}.
6262 If non-nil, when messages are re-filed by expiration, read/unread
6263 information is passed to the destination folder.
6265 However if you do not read the destination folder from Wanderlust,
6266 @file{seen} under @file{~/.elmo/} grows larger and larger, so you might
6267 want to set this to @code{nil} if you are simply saving to some

6318 As inferred from their names, they work similarly to "expire" versions,
6319 other than the following points:
6322 @item No messages are deleted
6323 @item Message numbers are retained even if invoked without arguments
6326 These functions are good to archive all messages in a folder by their
6327 numbers or by their dates.
6328 These are also useful for backup or confirmation purposes before
6330 If you try to re-file them after they are archived, they are deleted but
6333 Per default, the archiving folders to which messages are copied are
6334 determined automatically by @code{wl-expire-archive-get-folder-function}.
6335 You can copy to a specific folder by invoking with a prefix argument,
6336 i.e. @kbd{C-u M-x wl-summary-archive}.
6338 Note that this feature has not been seriously tested, because you can
6339 simply copy to an archiving folder, for example by
6340 @code{wl-summary-copy-region}.

6360 The initial setting is the list shown below:
6364 ((".*" wl-archive-number1))
6369 This variable specifies a function that copies to archiving folders.
6370 To the function, three arguments are passed: a folder name, a list of
6371 messages in the folder, and msgdb information of the summary.
6372 Needless to say, you can use your own function.

6381 Scoring is the function that associates a score (value) with each
6382 message, and marks as read or deletes from the summary according to it.
6384 You can put target or important marks on essential messages, or read marks
6385 on the ones you do not want to read, for example spam articles.
6387 This scoring function has a capability and a format similar to the one
6388 that Gnus has, although there are some unsupported features and
6389 Wanderlust specifics.

6402 @subsection Score File Specification
6404 @code{wl-score-folder-alist} specifies score files or variables in which
6405 scores are defined, corresponding to folder names.
6409 (setq wl-score-folder-alist
6418 If paths to the score files are omitted, the directory specified in the
6419 variable @code{wl-score-files-directory} is assumed.
6421 No matter what you write in @code{wl-score-folder-alist}, the default
6422 score file @code{wl-score-default-file} (@file{all.SCORE}) is always
6423 read (it does not have to exist).
6424 Therefore, in the example above, the three score files,
6425 @file{news.SCORE}, @file{my.SCORE}, and @file{all.SCORE} are read for
6426 the folders that matches @samp{^-.*}.
6428 @subsection Scored Messages
6430 Scores are attached to the messages that are specified by
6431 @code{wl-summary-score-marks} temporarily when the summary is updated;
6432 when you exit from the summary, the scores are removed and reverts to
6435 @subsection Creation of Score Files
6437 In the summary buffer, move to an appropriate message and type @kbd{L}.
6438 Then type @kbd{s}, @kbd{s}, and @kbd{p} at a prompt in a mini-buffer.
6439 The string in Subject is presented. Edit it and press @kbd{@key{RET}}.
6441 This makes @minus{}1000 are scored for messages with the same
6442 @samp{Subject:} as the string you entered. That is, such a score file
6443 is created automatically.
6445 Then, try typing @kbd{h} and @kbd{e} in the same summary buffer.
6446 The score file you just made appears.
6447 This buffer is called @dfn{score editing buffer} thereafter.
6448 When you type @kbd{C-c C-e} in it, you are prompted in the mini-buffer
6449 as you are previously; type @kbd{a}. Then a score entry for "From"
6451 In this way, you can create a score file easily either in the summary
6452 buffer or in the score editing buffer.
6454 By the way, you might be aware the numbers of key strokes are different
6455 between @kbd{s s p} and @kbd{a}.
6456 This is determined by @code{wl-score-header-default-entry}.
6457 This variable specifies the default score entries corresponding to
6459 For example, for "subject" field, a type and a time limit are prompted,
6460 but for "from" field, they are fixed upon automatically as substring and
6461 permanent respectively.
6462 However, score values can be modified by the prefix argument.
6463 Typing @kbd{?} at the mini-buffer shows a help on keys and corresponding
6466 At last, type @kbd{C-c C-c} in the score editing buffer. This saves the
6467 score file and terminates the edit mode. Typing @kbd{C-c C-c} after
6468 erasing contents of the buffer deletes the score file being edited.
6472 @subsubsection Selecting Score Files
6474 You can change score files to which scores are appended by
6475 @code{wl-summary-increase-score} and @code{wl-summary-lower-score} by
6476 @code{wl-score-change-score-file}.
6478 @subsubsection Summing Up the Score
6480 If you add the same entries by @code{wl-summary-increase-score},
6481 @code{wl-summary-lower-score}, and @code{wl-score-edit-insert-entry},
6482 scores for the entry is summed up.
6484 For example, if you create @samp{from} entry with the score of @minus{}1000 by
6485 @kbd{L a} and again @samp{from} with @minus{}200, one entry with the score of
6486 @minus{}1200 will be created as a result.
6488 @subsubsection Creating Thread Key
6490 Creating @samp{Thread} key by @code{wl-summary-increase-score} or
6491 @code{wl-summary-lower-score} appends @samp{Message-ID} of all children.
6493 @subsubsection Creating Followup Key
6495 Creating @samp{Followup} key by @code{wl-summary-increase-score} or
6496 @code{wl-summary-lower-score} appends @samp{Message-ID} of the message
6497 at the cursor to @samp{References} key.
6498 If @code{wl-score-auto-make-followup-entry} is non-nil,
6499 @samp{Message-ID} of all messages to be followed up within dates

6752 A factor that matches header. This should be a number in the cases of

6756 A score factor. When the first item matches, the score of the message
6757 is increased or decreased by this value.
6760 A time limiting factor. If @code{nil}, the score is permanent, and in the case
6761 of a number, the score is deleted if it does not match for days
6762 (@code{wl-score-expiry-days}) from the date specified by this.
6763 The date is since Dec. 31, 1 B.C.
6766 A type factor. This specifies the way the first factor matches.

6771 For these keys in string, @code{r} and @code{R} (regexp),
6772 @code{s} and @code{S} (substring), @code{e} and @code{E} (exact match),
6773 as well as @code{f} and @code{F} (fuzzy) can be used.
6774 @code{R}, @code{S}, @code{E}, and @code{F} are case sensitive.
6777 For these keys, the following five numerical relative operators can be
6778 used: @code{<}, @code{>}, @code{=}, @code{>=}, @code{<=}.
6781 This key matches @code{From} header, and scores all follow-ups to the

6786 You can use the same types as @code{From} except for @code{f}.
6787 And a @samp{Followup} entry is automatically appended to the score file.
6790 This key scores (sub-)threads beginning with @code{Message-ID} @var{x}.
6791 A @samp{Thread} entry is automatically appended for each article that
6792 has @var{x} in the @code{References} header.
6793 You can make sure the whole thread including messages that does not have
6794 all ancestors @code{Message-ID} in @code{References} is scored.
6796 You can use the same types as @code{References} except for @code{f}.
6797 And a @samp{Thread} entry is automatically appended to the score file.
6801 A factor for extension header. This is meaningful only if the key is
6803 This specifies headers to be matched other than standard headers like
6804 @code{Subject} and @code{From}.

6897 The data written in @file{~/.addresses} are used for address completion
6898 under draft editing mode. Furthermore, they are used when showing names

6922 One line defines one persons description.
6924 Actually, in default setup, @var{nickname} is used in summary-mode and
6925 @var{realname} is used in draft preparation mode. This behavior is
6926 better understood if you try it and confirmed the function first. You
6927 can write and try a small definition, so you will know the idea of the

7106 @subsection spam learning
7108 @code{wl-spam} automatically learn spam with refiling messages.
7110 At first, @code{wl-spam} classifies the folders controlled by Wanderlust
7111 into following 4 domains by the class of containig messages
7115 Folders containing messages judged as spam.
7116 (The folder specified by @code{wl-spam-folder})
7118 Folders containing messages judged as non-spam.
7120 Folders containing messages not yet judged. Folders without
7121 pre-distribution may belong to this domain e.g. @samp{+inbox}.
7122 (specified by @code{wl-spam-undecided-folder-regexp-list})
7124 Foldes have nothing to do with spam processing e.g.
7125 @code{wl-trash-folder} or @code{wl-draft-folder}. (specified by
7126 @code{wl-spam-ignored-folder-regexp-list})
7129 When you refile messages across different domains, it automatically
7130 learn messages as @samp{spam} or @samp{non-spam} according to domains
7131 it belongs before and after.
7133 To put it concretely, it will learn by following rule:
7136 @item undecide -> spam
7139 learn as spam and cancel previous study as non-spam.
7140 @item undecide -> good
7143 learn as non-spam and cancel previous study as spam.

8213 @section Message splitting
8214 @cindex Split messages
8216 You can use @code{elmo-split} to split message in folder specified by
8217 the variable @code{elmo-split-folder} a la @command{procmail} according
8218 to some specified rules. To use this feature, set as follows in your
8219 @file{~/.emacs} at first.
8222 (autoload 'elmo-split "elmo-split" "Split messages on the folder." t)
8225 Set source folder like following.
8228 (setq elmo-split-folder "%inbox")
8231 And specify the rule in the variable @code{elmo-split-rule} (its format
8232 will be is described below).
8233 Then you can invoke @kbd{M-x elmo-split} to split messages according to
8234 @code{elmo-split-rule}. On the other hand, invoke @kbd{C-u M-x elmo-split}
8235 to do a rehearsal and show result (do not split actually).
8238 We will describe how to specify the rule. First of all, see following
8243 (setq elmo-split-rule
8244 ;; @r{Store messages from spammers into @samp{+junk}}
8245 '(((or (address-equal from "i.am@@spammer")
8246 (address-equal from "dull-work@@dull-boy")

8257 ((match from "\\(.*\\)@@yahoo\\.com")
8259 ;; @r{Store unmatched mails into @samp{+inbox}}
8264 The basic unit of the rule is a combination like
8267 (@samp{CONDITION} @samp{ACTION} [@code{continue}])
8270 If @samp{CONDITION} is true, @samp{ACTION} is performed.
8271 The 1st element @samp{CONDITION} is a condition represented by a
8272 balanced expression (sexp). Its grammar will be explained below.
8273 The 2nd element @samp{ACTION} is the name of the folder to split
8274 messages into, or a symbol. When the 3rd element @code{continue} is
8275 specified as symbol, evaluating rules is not stopped even when the
8276 condition is satisfied.
8278 The grammar for @samp{CONDITION} is as follows. See example above to
8279 learn how to write the condition practically.
8283 Functions which accept arguments @samp{FIELD-NAME} and @samp{VALUE}.
8284 (@samp{FIELD-NAME} is a symbol that describes the field name)
8288 True if the field value equals to @samp{VALUE}.
8289 Case of the letters are ignored.
8291 True if the field value matches to VALUE.
8292 @samp{VALUE} can contain @code{\&} and @code{\N} which will substitute
8293 from matching @code{\(\)} patterns in the previous @samp{VALUE}.
8294 @item @code{address-equal}
8295 True if one of the addresses in the field equals to
8296 @samp{VALUE}. Case of the letters are ignored.
8297 @item @code{address-match}
8298 True if one of the addresses in the field matches to
8300 @samp{VALUE} can contain @code{\&} and @code{\N} which will substitute
8301 from matching @code{\(\)} patterns in the previous @samp{VALUE}.
8305 Functions which accept an integer argument (@samp{SIZE}).
8309 True if the size of the message is less than @samp{SIZE}.
8311 True if the size of the message is greater than @samp{SIZE}.
8315 Functions which accept any number of arguments.
8319 True if one of the argument returns true.
8321 True if all of the arguments return true.
8327 When a symbol is specified, it is evaluated.
8330 You can specify followings as 2nd @samp{ACTION}.
8336 If some string is specified, it will be regarded as the destination
8337 folder, and the message will be appended to it.
8342 If the symbol @samp{delete} is specified, delete the substance of the
8343 message in @code{elmo-split-folder}
8348 If the symbol @samp{noop} is specified, do nothing on the message and
8354 If some function is specified, execute it.
8357 If the message passes all rules, it will be dealed along @samp{ACTION}

8405 For example, you can set as follows:
8409 (setq wl-draft-reply-without-argument-list
8410 '(("Mail-Followup-To" . (("Mail-Followup-To") nil ("Newsgroups")))
8411 ("Followup-To" . (nil nil ("Followup-To")))
8412 (("X-ML-Name" "Reply-To") . (("Reply-To") nil nil))
8413 ("From" . (("From") ("To" "Cc") ("Newsgroups")))))
8417 Where each element of the list @code{wl-draft-reply-without-argument-list}
8421 (key . (to-list cc-list newsgroup-list))
8424 and if the field designated by @samp{key} exist in the parent message,
8425 parent's field values designated by @samp{to-list} are copied to @samp{To:}
8426 in the draft. Similarly, parent's fields designated by @samp{cc-list} and
8427 @samp{newsgroup-list} are copied to @samp{Cc:} and @samp{Newsgroups:} in
8428 the draft respectively.
8433 ("Mail-Followup-To" . (("Mail-Followup-To") nil ("Newsgroups")))
8436 Match if the parent has @samp{Mail-Followup-To} field.
8437 The components of parent's @samp{Mail-Followup-To} and @samp{Newsgroups}
8438 fields are copied to @samp{To} and @samp{Newsgroups} in the draft
8442 (("X-ML-Name" "Reply-To") . (("Reply-To") nil nil))
8445 Match if the parent has both @samp{X-ML-Name} and @samp{Reply-To} fields.
8446 Parent's @samp{Reply-To} is copied to @samp{To} in the draft.
8449 ("From" . (("From") ("To" "Cc") ("Newsgroups")))
8452 Copy parent's @samp{From} to @samp{To} in the draft, parent's @samp{To} and
8453 @samp{Cc} to @samp{Cc}, parent's @samp{Newsgroups} to @samp{Newsgroups}
8456 These are evaluated in order and first matched one is used.
8458 Moreover, the behavior of @kbd{a} with prefix argument can
8459 be directed by @code{wl-draft-reply-with-argument-list} as well.
8462 By the way, you can use some function (will be evaluated in the parent
8463 message buffer) in the place of @samp{key} or @samp{to-list} etc.
8465 If you want to write a rule for replying to message written by yourself,
8466 specify function @code{wl-draft-self-reply-p} as @samp{key}.

8865 @section Migration from prior to the version 2.12.0
8867 @subsection The conversion of msgdb
8869 From version 2.12.0 on, the structure of msgdb is changed.
8870 The msgdb for newly created folder will use this new format when created and saved.
8871 But by writing following line, you may use the old format of the msgdb as it was.
8875 (setq elmo-msgdb-default-type 'legacy)
8879 With the default setup, the old msgdb format is converted to the new
8880 format automatically. You may change this behavior by writing following
8881 lines in @file{~/.wl}.
8885 ;; @r{If the format of msgdb is different from} @code{elmo-msgdb-default-type},
8886 ;; @r{the format will be converted automatically when}
8887 ;; @r{the msgdb is being loaded (default).}
8888 (setq elmo-msgdb-convert-type 'auto)
8890 ;; @r{Convert msgdb when hitting @kbd{s all} in Summary mode}
8891 (setq elmo-msgdb-convert-type 'sync)
8893 ;; @r{Inhibit conversion}
8894 (setq elmo-msgdb-convert-type nil)
8898 As is explained in above section, you may continue to use the old format.
8899 But you will have following limitations.
8903 You cannot use forwarded mark (@samp{F}, @samp{f}).
8905 You may only use @samp{important} flag. The other global flags may not
8909 @subsection Changes from @samp{'mark} folder to @samp{'flag}.
8911 The folder @samp{'mark} will be automatically converted to @samp{'flag}
8912 folder when you first start the new version of Wanderlust.
8913 But there are some restrictions on this type of migrated folder.
8917 @samp{important} flag attached will not be
8918 removed by deleting the associated message in @samp{'flag} folder.
8921 The message won't be deleted by removing
8922 @samp{important} flag in @samp{'flag} folder.
8925 help-echo will not show you the old message.
8929 If you have problem with migrating
8930 from @samp{'mark} folder to the @samp{'flag} folder,
8932 @kbd{M-x elmo-global-mark-upgrade} will transfer the message
8933 from @samp{'mark} folder to the @samp{'flag} folder.
8934 The duplicated message will not be processed,
8935 you may issue that command repeatedly.

9106 read mail anywhere @result{} desire to wander ?)
9108 Elmo is the abbreviation of @samp{Elisp Library for Message
9109 Orchestration}. At first I meant the red puppet in the Sesame Street,
9110 but you may associate it with Wandering @result{} Drifting @result{}
9111 Guidepost @result{} St.@: Elmo's fire @result{} elmo.
