25 ;;; Commentary:
27 ;; This package enables you to read mail or articles in MH folders, or
28 ;; articles saved by GNUS. In any case, the file names of mail or
29 ;; articles must consist of only numeric letters.
31 ;; Before using this package, you have to create a server specific
32 ;; startup file according to the directory which you want to read. For
33 ;; example, if you want to read mail under the directory named
34 ;; `~/Mail', the file must be a file named `.newsrc-:Mail'. (There is
35 ;; no way to specify hierarchical directory now.) In this case, the
36 ;; name of the NNTP server passed to GNUS must be `:Mail'.
38 ;;; Code:
40 (require 'nntp)
42 (defvar mhspool-list-directory-switches '("-R")
43 "*Switches for `nntp-request-list' to pass to `ls' for gettting file lists.
44 One entry should appear on one line. You may need to add `-1' option.")
