|
|
|
|
;; Though I wrote this package basically from scratch, as an elisp
|
|
;; learning exercise, it was inspired by postings of similar packages to
|
|
;; the gnu.emacs newsgroup over the past month or so.
|
|
;;
|
|
;; Here's a brief history of how this package developed:
|
|
;;
|
|
;; I as well as others on the net were pretty unhappy about the way emacs
|
|
;; cited replies with the tab or 4 spaces. It looked ugly and made it hard
|
|
;; to distinguish between original and cited lines. I hacked on the function
|
|
;; yank-original to at least give the user the ability to define the citation
|
|
;; character. I posted this simple hack, and others did as well. The main
|
|
;; difference between mine and others was that a space was put after the
|
|
;; citation string on on new citations, but not after previously cited lines:
|
|
;;
|
|
;; >> John wrote this originally
|
|
;; > Jane replied to that
|
|
;;
|
|
;; Then Martin Neitzel posted some code that he developed, derived in part
|
|
;; from code that Ashwin Ram posted previous to that. In Martin's
|
|
;; posting, he introduced a new, and (IMHO) superior, citation style,
|
|
;; eliminating nested citations. Yes, I wanted to join the Small-But-
|
|
;; Growing-Help-Stamp-Out-Nested-Citation-Movement! You should too.
|
|
;;
|
|
;; But Martin's code simply asks the user for the citation string (here
|
|
;; after called the `attribution' string), and I got to thinking, it wouldn't
|
|
;; be that difficult to automate that part. So I started hacking this out.
|
|
;; It proved to be not as simple as I first thought. But anyway here it
|
|
;; is. See the wish list below for future plans (if I have time).
|
|
;;
|
|
;; Type "C-h f mail-yank-original" after this package is loaded to get a
|
|
;; description of what it does and the variables that control it.

Here is a description of the superyank.el package, what it does and
|
|
what variables control its operation. This was written by Barry
|
|
Warsaw (warsaw@cme.nist.gov, {...}!uunet!cme-durer!warsaw).
|
|
|
|
A 'Citation' is the acknowledgement of the original author of a mail
|
|
message. There are two general forms of citation. In 'nested
|
|
citations', indication is made that the cited line was written by
|
|
someone *other* that the current message author (or by that author at
|
|
an earlier time). No indication is made as to the identity of the
|
|
original author. Thus, a nested citation after multiple replies would
|
|
look like this (this is after my reply to a previous message):
|
|
|
|
>>John originally wrote this
|
|
>>and this as well
|
|
> Jane said that John didn't know
|
|
> what he was talking about
|
|
And that's what I think as well.
|
|
|
|
In non-nested citations, you won't see multiple \">\" characters at
|
|
the beginning of the line. Non-nested citations will insert an
|
|
informative string at the beginning of a cited line, attributing that
|
|
line to an author. The same message described above might look like
|
|
this if non-nested citations were used:
|
|
|
|
John> John originally wrote this
|
|
John> and this as well
|
|
Jane> Jane said that John didn't know
|
|
Jane> what he was talking about
|
|
And that's what I think as well.
|
|
|
|
Notice that my inclusion of Jane's inclusion of John's original
|
|
message did not result in a cited line of the form: Jane>John>. Thus
|
|
no nested citations. The style of citation is controlled by the
|
|
variable `sy-nested-citation-p'. Nil uses non-nested citations and
|
|
non-nil uses old style, nested citations.
|
|
|
|
The variable `sy-citation-string' is the string to use as a marker for
|
|
a citation, either nested or non-nested. For best results, this
|
|
string should be a single character with no trailing space and is
|
|
typically the character \">\". In non-nested citations this string is
|
|
appended to the attribution string (author's name), along with a
|
|
trailing space. In nested citations, a trailing space is only added
|
|
to a first level citation.
|
|
|
|
Another important variable is `sy-cite-regexp' which describes strings
|
|
that indicate a previously cited line. This regular expression is
|
|
always used at the beginning of a line so it doesn't need to begin
|
|
with a \"^\" character. Change this variable if you change
|
|
`sy-citation-string'.
|
|
|
|
The following section only applies to non-nested citations.
|
|
|
|
This package has a fair amount of intellegence related to deciphering
|
|
the author's name based on information provided by the original
|
|
message buffer. In normal operation, the program will pick out the
|
|
author's first and last names, initials, terminal email address and
|
|
any other names it can find. It will then pick an attribution string
|
|
from this list based on a user defined preference and it will ask for
|
|
confirmation if the user specifies. This package gathers its
|
|
information from the `From:' line of the original message buffer. It
|
|
recognizes From: lines with the following forms:
|
|
|
|
From: John Xavier Doe <doe@speedy.computer.com>
|
|
From: \"John Xavier Doe\" <doe@speedy.computer.com>
|
|
From: doe@speedy.computer.com (John Xavier Doe)
|
|
From: computer!speedy!doe (John Xavier Doe)
|
|
From: computer!speedy!doe (John Xavier Doe)
|
|
From: doe%speedy@computer.com (John Xavier Doe)
|
|
|
|
In this case, if confirmation is requested, the following strings will
|
|
be made available for completion and confirmation:
|
|
|
|
\"John\"
|
|
\"Xavier\"
|
|
\"Doe\"
|
|
\"JXD\"
|
|
\"doe\"
|
|
|
|
Note that completion is case sensitive. If there was a problem
|
|
picking out a From: line, or any other problem getting even a single
|
|
name, then the user will be queried for an attribution string. The
|
|
default attribution string is set in the variable
|
|
`sy-default-attribution'.
|
|
|
|
Sometimes people set their name fields so that it also includes a
|
|
title of the form:
|
|
|
|
From: doe@speedy.computer.com (John Doe -- Hacker Extraordinaire)
|
|
|
|
To avoid the inclusion of the string \"-- Hacker Extraordinaire\" in
|
|
the name list, the variable `sy-titlecue-regexp' is provided. Its
|
|
default setting will still properly recognize names of the form:
|
|
|
|
From: xdoe@speedy.computer.com (John Xavier-Doe -- Crazed Hacker)
|
|
|
|
The variable `sy-preferred-attribution' contains an integer that
|
|
indicates which name field the user prefers to use as the attribution
|
|
string, based on the following key:
|
|
|
|
0: email address name is preferred
|
|
1: initials are preferred
|
|
2: first name is preferred
|
|
3: last name is preferred
|
|
|
|
The value can be greater than 3, in which case, you would be
|
|
preferring the 2nd throught nth -1 name. In any case, if the
|
|
preferred name can't be found, then one of two actions will be taken
|
|
depending on the value of the variable `sy-use-only-preference-p'. If
|
|
this is non-nil, then the `sy-default-attribution will be used. If it
|
|
is nil, then a secondary scheme will be employed to find a suitable
|
|
attribution scheme. First, the author's first name will be used. If
|
|
that can't be found than the name list is searched for the first
|
|
non-nil, non-empty name string. If still no name can be found, then
|
|
the user is either queried, or the `sy-default-attribution' is used,
|
|
depending on the value of `sy-confirm-always-p'.
|
|
|
|
If the variable `sy-confirm-always-p' is non-nil, superyank will always
|
|
confirm the attribution string with the user before inserting it into
|
|
the reply buffer. Confirmation is with completion, but the completion
|
|
list is merely a suggestion; the user can override the list by typing
|
|
in a string of their choice.
|
|
|
|
The variable `sy-rewrite-header-hook' is a hook that contains a lambda
|
|
expression which rewrites the informative header at the top of the
|
|
yanked message. Set to nil to avoid writing any header.
|
|
|
|
You can make superyank autofill each paragraph it cites by setting the
|
|
variable `sy-auto-fill-region-p' to non-nil. Or set the variable to nil
|
|
and fill the paragraphs manually with sy-fill-paragraph-manually (see
|
|
below).
|
|
|
|
Finally, `sy-downcase-p' if non-nil, indicates that you always want to
|
|
downcase the attribution string before insertion, and
|
|
`sy-left-justify-p', if non-nil, indicates that you want to delete all
|
|
leading white space before citing.
|
|
|
|
Since the almost all yanking in other modes (RMAIL, GNUS) is done
|
|
through the function `mail-yank-original', and since superyank
|
|
overloads this function, cited yanking is automatically bound to the
|
|
C-c C-y key. There are three other smaller functions that are
|
|
provided with superyank and they are bound as below. Try C-h f on
|
|
each function to get more information on these functions.
|
|
|
|
Key Bindings:
|
|
|
|
C-c C-y mail-yank-original (superyank's version)
|
|
C-c q sy-fill-paragraph-manually
|
|
C-c C-q sy-fill-paragraph-manually

|
Summary of variables, with their default values:
|
|
|
|
sy-default-attribution (default: \"Anon\")
|
|
Attribution to use if no attribution string can be deciphered
|
|
from the original message buffer.
|
|
|
|
sy-citation-string (default: \">\")
|
|
String to append to the attribution string for citation, for
|
|
best results, it should be one character with no trailing space.
|
|
|
|
sy-nested-citation-p (default: nil)
|
|
Nil means use non-nested citations, non-nil means use old style
|
|
nested citations.
|
|
|
|
sy-cite-regexp (default: \"[a-zA-Z0-9]*>\")
|
|
Regular expression that matches the beginning of a previously
|
|
cited line. Always used at the beginning of a line so it does
|
|
not need to start with a \"^\" character.
|
|
|
|
sy-titlecue-regexp (default: \"\\s +-+\\s +\")
|
|
Regular expression that matches a title delimiter in the name
|
|
field.
|
|
|
|
sy-preferred-attribution (default: 2)
|
|
Integer indicating user's preferred attribution field.
|
|
|
|
sy-confirm-always-p (default: t)
|
|
Non-nil says always confirm with completion before inserting
|
|
attribution.
|
|
|
|
sy-rewrite-header-hook (default: 'sy-header-on-said)
|
|
Hook for inserting informative header at the top of the yanked
|
|
message.
|
|
|
|
sy-downcase-p (default: nil)
|
|
Non-nil says downcase the attribution string before insertion.
|
|
|
|
sy-left-justify-p (default: nil)
|
|
Non-nil says delete leading white space before citing.
|
|
|
|
sy-auto-fill-region-p (default: nil)
|
|
Non-nil says don't auto fill the region. T says auto fill the
|
|
paragraph.
|
|
|
|
sy-use-only-preference-p (default: nil)
|
|
If nil, use backup scheme when preferred attribution string
|
|
can't be found. If non-nil and preferred attribution string
|
|
can't be found, then use sy-default-attribution."
