  23 ;;; Commentary:
  24
  25 ;; This package allows handing over a buffer to be sent off
  26 ;; via the system's designated e-mail client.
  27 ;; Note that the e-mail client will display the contents of the buffer
  28 ;; again for editing.
  29 ;; The e-mail client is taken to be whoever handles a mailto: URL
  30 ;; via `browse-url'.
  31 ;; Mailto: URLs are composed according to RFC2368.
  32
  33 ;; MIME bodies are not supported - we rather expect the mail client
  34 ;; to encode the body and add, for example, a digital signature.
  35 ;; The mailto URL RFC calls for "short text messages that are
  36 ;; actually the content of automatic processing."
  37 ;; So mailclient.el is ideal for situations where an e-mail is
  38 ;; generated automatically, and the user can edit it in the
  39 ;; mail client (e.g. bug-reports).
  40
  41 ;; To activate:
  42 ;; (setq send-mail-function 'mailclient-send-it) ; if you use `mail'
