It assumes that new mail for the file `folder' +;; is written by the filter to a file called `folder.spool'. (If the +;; file writes directly to `folder' you may lose mail if new mail +;; arrives whilst you are reading the folder in emacs, hence the use +;; of a spool file.) For example, the following procmail recipe puts +;; any mail with `emacs' in the subject line into the spool file +;; `apple.spool', ready to go into the folder `emacs'. +;:0: +;* ^Subject.*emacs +;emacs.spool + +;; It also assumes that all of your spool files and mail folders live +;; in the directory pointed to by `mspools-folder-directory', so you must +;; set this (see Installation). + +;; When you run `mspools-show', it creates a *spools* buffer containing +;; all of the spools in the folder directory that are waiting to be +;; read. On each line is the spool name and its size in bytes. Move +;; to the line of the folder that you would like to read, and then +;; press return or space. The mailer (VM or RMAIL) should then read +;; that folder and get the new mail for you. When you return to the +;; *spools* buffer, you will either see "*" to indicate that the spool +;; has been read, or the remaining unread spools, depending on the +;; value of `mspools-update'. + +;; This file should work with both VM and RMAIL. See the variable +;; `mspools-using-vm' for details. + + +;;; Installation + +;; Basic +;(autoload 'mspools-show "mspools" "Show outstanding mail spools." t) +; Point to directory where spool files and folders are: +; (setq mspools-folder-directory "~/MAIL/") + +;; Extras +; possibly bind it to a key: +;(global-set-key '[S-f1] 'mspools-show) +;(setq mspools-update t) + +;; Interface with the mail filter +; We assume that the mail filter drops new mail into the spool +; `folder.spool'. If your spool files are something like folder.xyz +; for inbox `folder', then do +; (setq spool-suffix "xyz") +; If you use other conventions for your spool files, this code will +; need rewriting. + +;;; Warning for VM users +;; Dont use if you are not sure what you are doing! The value of +;; vm-spool-files is altered, so you may not be able to read incoming +;; mail with VM if this is incorrectly set. + +;; Useful settings for VM +;vm-auto-get-new-mail should be t (default t) + +;;; Acknowledgements +;; The code for setting up vm-spool-files came from +;;http://www-users.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/~berg/archive/procmail/0047.html +;; Thanks to jond@mitre.org (Jonathan Doughty) + +;;; TODO + +;; What if users have mail spools in more than one directory?
