+
+;; 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.
+;;
+;; ======================================================================
+;;
+;; Changes wish list
+;;
+;; 1) C-x C-s yanks a region from the RMAIL buffer instead of the
+;; whole buffer

+;; 2) reparse nested citations to try to recast as non-nested citations
+;; perhaps by checking the References: line

+(defun mail-yank-original (arg)
+
+ "Yank original message buffer into the reply buffer, citing as per
+user preferences. Numeric Argument forces confirmation.
+
+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
+C-c i sy-insert-persist-attribution
+C-c C-i sy-insert-persist-attribution
+C-c C-o sy-open-line
+
+
+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."
