25 ;;; Commentary:
27 ;; This file enables Gnus to repair broken citations produced by
28 ;; common user agents like MS Outlook (Express). It may repair
29 ;; articles of other user agents too.
31 ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
34 ;; Outlook sometimes wraps cited lines before sending a message as
35 ;; seen in this example:
37 ;; Example #1
38 ;; ----------
40 ;; John Doe wrote:
42 ;; > This sentence no verb. This sentence no verb. This sentence
43 ;; no
44 ;; > verb. This sentence no verb. This sentence no verb. This
45 ;; > sentence no verb.
47 ;; The function `gnus-article-outlook-unwrap-lines' tries to recognize those
48 ;; erroneously wrapped lines and will unwrap them. I.e. putting the
49 ;; wrapped parts ("no" in this example) back where they belong (at the
50 ;; end of the cited line above).
52 ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
54 ;; Note that some people not only use broken user agents but also
55 ;; practice a bad citation style by omitting blank lines between the
56 ;; cited text and their own text.
58 ;; Example #2
59 ;; ----------
61 ;; John Doe wrote:
63 ;; > This sentence no verb. This sentence no verb. This sentence no
64 ;; You forgot in all your sentences.
65 ;; > verb. This sentence no verb. This sentence no verb. This
66 ;; > sentence no verb.
68 ;; Unwrapping "You forgot in all your sentences." would be invalid as
69 ;; this part wasn't intended to be cited text.
70 ;; `gnus-article-outlook-unwrap-lines' will only unwrap lines if the resulting
71 ;; citation line will be of a certain maximum length. You can control
72 ;; this by adjusting `gnus-outlook-deuglify-unwrap-max'. Also
73 ;; unwrapping will only be done if the line above the (possibly)
74 ;; wrapped line has a minimum length of `gnus-outlook-deuglify-unwrap-min'.
76 ;; Furthermore no unwrapping will be undertaken if the last character
77 ;; is one of the chars specified in
78 ;; `gnus-outlook-deuglify-unwrap-stop-chars'. Setting this to ".?!"
79 ;; inhibits unwrapping if the cited line ends with a full stop,
80 ;; question mark or exclamation mark. Note that this variable
81 ;; defaults to `nil', triggering a few false positives but generally
82 ;; giving you better results.
84 ;; Unwrapping works on every level of citation. Thus you will be able
85 ;; repair broken citations of broken user agents citing broken
86 ;; citations of broken user agents citing broken citations...
88 ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
90 ;; Citations are commonly introduced with an attribution line
91 ;; indicating who wrote the cited text. Outlook adds superfluous
92 ;; information that can be found in the header of the message to this
93 ;; line and often wraps it.
95 ;; If that weren't enough, lots of people write their own text above
96 ;; the cited text and cite the complete original article below.
98 ;; Example #3
99 ;; ----------
101 ;; Hey, John. There's no in all your sentences!
103 ;; John Doe <john.doe@some.domain> wrote in message
104 ;; news:a87usw8$dklsssa$2@some.news.server...
105 ;; > This sentence no verb. This sentence no verb. This sentence
106 ;; no
107 ;; > verb. This sentence no verb. This sentence no verb. This
108 ;; > sentence no verb.
109 ;; >
110 ;; > Bye, John
112 ;; Repairing the attribution line will be done by function
113 ;; `gnus-article-outlook-repair-attribution which calls other function that
114 ;; try to recognize and repair broken attribution lines. See variable
115 ;; `gnus-outlook-deuglify-attrib-cut-regexp' for stuff that should be
116 ;; cut off from the beginning of an attribution line and variable
117 ;; `gnus-outlook-deuglify-attrib-verb-regexp' for the verbs that are
118 ;; required to be found in an attribution line. These function return
119 ;; the point where the repaired attribution line starts.
121 ;; Rearranging the article so that the cited text appears above the
122 ;; new text will be done by function
123 ;; `gnus-article-outlook-rearrange-citation'. This function calls
124 ;; `gnus-article-outlook-repair-attribution to find and repair an attribution
125 ;; line.
127 ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
129 ;; Well, and that's what the message will look like after applying
130 ;; deuglification:
132 ;; Example #3 (deuglified)
133 ;; -----------------------
135 ;; John Doe <john.doe@some.domain> wrote:
137 ;; > This sentence no verb. This sentence no verb. This sentence no
138 ;; > verb. This sentence no verb. This sentence no verb. This
139 ;; > sentence no verb.
140 ;; >
141 ;; > Bye, John
143 ;; Hey, John. There's no in all your sentences!
145 ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
147 ;; Usage
148 ;; -----
150 ;; Press `W k' in the Summary Buffer.
152 ;; Non recommended usage :-)
153 ;; ---------------------
155 ;; To automatically invoke deuglification on every article you read,
156 ;; put something like that in your .gnus:
158 ;; (add-hook 'gnus-article-decode-hook 'gnus-article-outlook-unwrap-lines)
160 ;; or _one_ of the following lines:
162 ;; ;; repair broken attribution lines
163 ;; (add-hook 'gnus-article-decode-hook 'gnus-article-outlook-repair-attribution)
165 ;; ;; repair broken attribution lines and citations
166 ;; (add-hook 'gnus-article-decode-hook 'gnus-article-outlook-rearrange-citation)
168 ;; Note that there always may be some false positives, so I suggest
169 ;; using the manual invocation. After deuglification you may want to
170 ;; refill the whole article using `W w'.
172 ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
174 ;; Limitations
175 ;; -----------
177 ;; As I said before there may (or will) be a few false positives on
178 ;; unwrapping cited lines with `gnus-article-outlook-unwrap-lines'.
180 ;; `gnus-article-outlook-repair-attribution will only fix the first
181 ;; attribution line found in the article. Furthermore it fixed to
182 ;; certain kinds of attributions. And there may be horribly many
183 ;; false positives, vanishing lines and so on -- so don't trust your
184 ;; eyes. Again I recommend manual invocation.
186 ;; `gnus-article-outlook-rearrange-citation' carries all the limitations of
187 ;; `gnus-article-outlook-repair-attribution.
189 ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
191 ;; See ChangeLog for other changes.
193 ;; Revision 1.5 2002/01/27 14:39:17 rscholz
194 ;; * New variable `gnus-outlook-deuglify-no-wrap-chars' to inhibit
195 ;; unwrapping if one these chars is first in the possibly wrapped line.
196 ;; * Improved rearranging of the article.
197 ;; * New function `gnus-outlook-repair-attribution-block' for repairing
198 ;; those big "Original Message (following some headers)" attributions.
200 ;; Revision 1.4 2002/01/03 14:05:00 rscholz
201 ;; Renamed `gnus-outlook-deuglify-article' to
202 ;; `gnus-article-outlook-deuglify-article'.
203 ;; Made it easier to deuglify the article while being in Gnus' Article
204 ;; Edit Mode. (suggested by Phil Nitschke)
207 ;; Revision 1.3 2002/01/02 23:35:54 rscholz
208 ;; Fix a bug that caused succeeding long attribution lines to be
209 ;; unwrapped. Minor doc fixes and regular expression tuning.
211 ;; Revision 1.2 2001/12/30 20:14:34 rscholz
212 ;; Clean up source.
214 ;; Revision 1.1 2001/12/30 20:13:32 rscholz
215 ;; Initial revision
