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

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