29 ;;; Commentary:
31 ;; If you use a mail filter (e.g. procmail, filter) to put mail messages in
32 ;; folders, this file will let you see which folders have mail waiting
33 ;; to be read in them. It assumes that new mail for the file `folder'
34 ;; is written by the filter to a file called `folder.spool'. (If the
35 ;; file writes directly to `folder' you may lose mail if new mail
36 ;; arrives whilst you are reading the folder in emacs, hence the use
37 ;; of a spool file.) For example, the following procmail recipe puts
38 ;; any mail with `emacs' in the subject line into the spool file
39 ;; `emacs.spool', ready to go into the folder `emacs'.
40 ;:0:
41 ;* ^Subject.*emacs
42 ;emacs.spool
44 ;; It also assumes that all of your spool files and mail folders live
45 ;; in the directory pointed to by `mspools-folder-directory', so you must
46 ;; set this (see Installation).
48 ;; When you run `mspools-show', it creates a *spools* buffer containing
49 ;; all of the spools in the folder directory that are waiting to be
50 ;; read. On each line is the spool name and its size in bytes. Move
51 ;; to the line of the folder that you would like to read, and then
52 ;; press return or space. The mailer (VM or RMAIL) should then read
53 ;; that folder and get the new mail for you. When you return to the
54 ;; *spools* buffer, you will either see "*" to indicate that the spool
55 ;; has been read, or the remaining unread spools, depending on the
56 ;; value of `mspools-update'.
58 ;; This file should work with both VM and RMAIL. See the variable
59 ;; `mspools-using-vm' for details.
61 ;;; Basic installation.
62 ;; (autoload 'mspools-show "mspools" "Show outstanding mail spools." t)

65 ;; If you use VM, mspools-folder-directory will default to vm-folder-directory
66 ;; unless you have already given it a value.
68 ;; Extras.

71 ;; (setq mspools-update t) ;Automatically update buffer.
73 ;; Interface with the mail filter.
74 ;; We assume that the mail filter drops new mail into the spool
75 ;; `folder.spool'. If your spool files are something like folder.xyz
76 ;; for inbox `folder', then do:
77 ;; (setq mspools-suffix "xyz")
78 ;; If you use other conventions for your spool files, this code will
79 ;; need rewriting.
81 ;; Warning for VM users
82 ;; Don't use if you are not sure what you are doing. The value of
83 ;; vm-spool-files is altered, so you may not be able to read incoming
84 ;; mail with VM if this is incorrectly set.
86 ;; Useful settings for VM
87 ;; vm-auto-get-new-mail should be t (the default).
89 ;; Acknowledgements
90 ;; Thanks to jond@mitre.org (Jonathan Doughty) for help with code for
91 ;; setting up vm-spool-files.
93 ;;; TODO
95 ;; What if users have mail spools in more than one directory? Extend
96 ;; mspools-folder-directory to be a list of directories? Currently,
97 ;; if mail spools are in other directories, the way to read them is to
98 ;; put a symbolic link to the spool into the mspools-folder-directory.
100 ;; I was going to add mouse support so that you could click on a line
101 ;; to visit the buffer. Tell me if you want it, and I can put the
102 ;; code in (I don't use the mouse much, so I haven't bothered with it
103 ;; so far).
105 ;; Rather than showing size in bytes, could we see the number of msgs
106 ;; waiting? (Could be more time demanding / system dependent).
107 ;; Maybe just call a perl script to do all the hard work, and
108 ;; visualise the results in the buffer.
110 ;; Shrink wrap the buffer to remove excess white-space?
