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

70
71 ;; Interface with the mail filter.
72 ;; We assume that the mail filter drops new mail into the spool
73 ;; `folder.spool'. If your spool files are something like folder.xyz
74 ;; for inbox `folder', then do:
75 ;; (setq mspools-suffix "xyz")
76 ;; If you use other conventions for your spool files, this code will
77 ;; need rewriting.
78
79 ;; Warning for VM users
80 ;; Don't use if you are not sure what you are doing. The value of
81 ;; vm-spool-files is altered, so you may not be able to read incoming
82 ;; mail with VM if this is incorrectly set.
83
84 ;; Useful settings for VM
85 ;; vm-auto-get-new-mail should be t (the default).
86
87 ;; Acknowledgements
88 ;; Thanks to jond@mitre.org (Jonathan Doughty) for help with code for
89 ;; setting up vm-spool-files.

91 ;;; TODO
92
93 ;; What if users have mail spools in more than one directory? Extend
94 ;; mspools-folder-directory to be a list of directories? Currently,
95 ;; if mail spools are in other directories, the way to read them is to
96 ;; put a symbolic link to the spool into the mspools-folder-directory.
97
98 ;; I was going to add mouse support so that you could click on a line
99 ;; to visit the buffer. Tell me if you want it, and I can put the
100 ;; code in (I don't use the mouse much, so I haven't bothered with it
101 ;; so far).
102
103 ;; Rather than showing size in bytes, could we see the number of msgs
104 ;; waiting? (Could be more time demanding / system dependent).
105 ;; Maybe just call a perl script to do all the hard work, and
106 ;; visualize the results in the buffer.
107
108 ;; Shrink wrap the buffer to remove excess white-space?
