;;; Commentary:
;; This package allows to hand over a buffer to be sent off
;; via the system's designated e-mail client.
;; Note that the e-mail client will display the contents of the buffer
;; again for editing.
;; The e-mail client is taken to be whoever handles a mailto: URL
;; via `browse-url'.
;; Mailto: URLs are composed according to RFC2368.
;; MIME bodies are not supported - we rather expect the mail client
;; to encode the body and add, for example, a digital signature.
;; The mailto URL RFC calls for "short text messages that are
;; actually the content of automatic processing."
;; So mailclient.el is ideal for situations where an e-mail is
;; generated automatically, and the user can edit it in the
;; mail client (e.g. bug-reports).
;; To activate:
;; (setq send-mail-function 'mailclient-send-it) ; if you use `mail'
;;; Code:
(require 'sendmail) ;; for mail-sendmail-undelimit-header
(require 'mail-utils) ;; for mail-fetch-field
