29 ;; You will need to configure mairix first, which involves setting up your
30 ;; .mairixrc in your home directory. Once it is working, you should set up
31 ;; your way to display results in your favorite way -- usually a MUA.
32 ;; Currently gnus and mutt are supported.
34 ;; After both steps are done, all you should need to hook mairix, org
35 ;; and your MUA together is to do (require 'org-mairix) in your
36 ;; startup file. Everything can then be configured normally through
37 ;; Emacs customisation.
