27;; Thanks to Jim Blandy for mentioning ring.el. It saved a lot of
28;; time.
29;;
30;; To use this package, put it in a directory in your load-path, and
31;; put this in your .emacs file:
32;;
33;; (load "mail-hist" nil t)
34;;
35;; Or you could do it with autoloads and hooks in your .emacs:
36;;
37;; (add-hook 'mail-mode-hook 'mail-hist-define-keys)
38;; (add-hook 'mail-send-hook 'mail-hist-put-headers-into-history)
39;; (add-hook 'vm-mail-mode-hook 'mail-hist-define-keys) ;or rmail, etc
40;; (autoload 'mail-hist-define-keys "mail-hist")
41;; (autoload 'mail-hist-put-headers-into-history "mail-hist")
42;;
43;; Once it's installed, use M-p and M-n from mail headers to recover
44;; previous/next contents in the history for that header, or, in the
45;; body of the message, to recover previous/next text of the message.
46;; This only applies to outgoing mail -- mail-hist ignores received
47;; messages.
48;;
49;; Although repeated history requests do clear out the text from the
50;; previous request, an isolated request just inserts its text at
51;; point, so that you can mix the histories of different messages
52;; easily. This might be confusing at times, but there should be no
53;; problems that undo can't handle.
