31 ;; Call mail-add-payment-async after writing the addresses but before
32 ;; writing the mail to start calculating the hashcash payment
35 ;; The easiest way to do this automatically for all outgoing mail
36 ;; is to set `message-generate-hashcash' to t. If you want more
37 ;; control, try the following hooks.
39 ;; To automatically add payments to all outgoing mail when sending:
40 ;; (add-hook 'message-send-hook 'mail-add-payment)
42 ;; To start calculations automatically when addresses are prefilled:
43 ;; (add-hook 'message-setup-hook 'mail-add-payment-async)
45 ;; To check whether calculations are done before sending:
46 ;; (add-hook 'message-send-hook 'hashcash-wait-or-cancel)
