27 ;;; Commentary:
29 ;; Thanks to Jim Blandy for mentioning ring.el. It saved a lot of
30 ;; time.
32 ;; To use this package, put it in a directory in your load-path, and
33 ;; put this in your .emacs file:
35 ;; (load "mail-hist" nil t)
37 ;; Or you could do it with autoloads and hooks in your .emacs:
39 ;; (add-hook 'mail-mode-hook 'mail-hist-define-keys)
40 ;; (add-hook 'mail-send-hook 'mail-hist-put-headers-into-history)
41 ;; (add-hook 'vm-mail-mode-hook 'mail-hist-define-keys) ;or rmail, etc
42 ;; (autoload 'mail-hist-define-keys "mail-hist")
43 ;; (autoload 'mail-hist-put-headers-into-history "mail-hist")
45 ;; Once it's installed, use M-p and M-n from mail headers to recover
46 ;; previous/next contents in the history for that header, or, in the
47 ;; body of the message, to recover previous/next text of the message.
48 ;; This only applies to outgoing mail -- mail-hist ignores received
49 ;; messages.
51 ;; Although repeated history requests do clear out the text from the
52 ;; previous request, an isolated request just inserts its text at
53 ;; point, so that you can mix the histories of different messages
54 ;; easily. This might be confusing at times, but there should be no
55 ;; problems that undo can't handle.
