23 ;;; Commentary:
25 ;; This file tries to provide backward compatibility with sendmail.el
26 ;; for Message mode. It should be used by simply adding
28 ;; (require 'messcompat)
30 ;; to the .emacs file. Loading it after Message mode has been
31 ;; loaded will have no effect.
33 ;;; Code:
35 (require 'sendmail)
37 (defvar message-from-style mail-from-style
38 "*Specifies how \"From\" headers look.
40 If nil, they contain just the return address like:
41 king@grassland.com
42 If `parens', they look like:
43 king@grassland.com (Elvis Parsley)
44 If `angles', they look like:
45 Elvis Parsley <king@grassland.com>
47 Otherwise, most addresses look like `angles', but they look like
48 `parens' if `angles' would need quoting and `parens' would not.")
50 (defvar message-interactive mail-interactive
51 "Non-nil means when sending a message wait for and display errors.
52 nil means let mailer mail back a message to report errors.")

76 (defvar message-default-headers mail-default-headers
