# see several paragraphs below for more on the choice of shell interpreter.

# ml is a mail reading interface for mh(1).  the design is that of
# a thin wrapper (this script) which uses 'less' for message
# display, and mh commands for doing the real work.
#
# this script was completely and utterly inspired by a message
# posted by Ralph Corderoy to the nmh developer's list, describing
# his similar, unpublished, script:
#   http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/nmh-workers/2012-02/msg00148.html
#
# see the usage() and help() functions, below, for more detail.	 (or
# use 'ml -?' for usage, and '?' within ml for help.)
#
# ml creates its own lesskeys map file the first time you run it,
# called ~/Mail/ml_lesskeymap.
#
# there are a number of places where i let ml invoke my own wrapper
# scripts to do something mh-like.  these wrappers do things like
# provide safe(r) message deletion, select among repl formats, etc.
# all of these can be easily changed -- see the do_xxxx() functions.
# all are assumed to operate on mh-style message specifications, and
# on 'cur' by default.
#
# this script uses the sequences 'ml', 'mldel', 'mlspam', 'mlunr',
# 'mlkeep', and 'mlrepl'.  it also manipulates the user's Unseen-sequence.
#
# the shell dialect used is very conservative.  dash (debian's
# /bin/sh), bash, ksh, and solaris /bin/sh will all work, and probably
# the current bsd /bin/sh variants as well, with very slightly
# improved function in bash or ksh.  the only non-posix shell feature
# used is an argument to "read".  search for the function ask_init()
# for more detail.

usage: $me [ msgs | -s | -a ]
  $me will present the specified 'msgs' (any valid MH message
    specification).  With no arguments, messages will come from

    "$me -a" to apply previous results (shouldn't usually be needed).

    "ml" takes an MH message specification as argument.
    If none is specified, ml will operate on the sequence named "$ml_unseen_seq".

    Messages are repeatedly displayed using 'less', which mostly
    behaves as usual.  less is configured with some special key
    bindings which cause it to quit with special exit codes.  These
    in turn cause ml to execute distinct commands: they might cause
    ml to display the next message, to mark the current message as
    spam, to quit, etc.

    The special key bindings within less are:

    ?	display this help (in a separate 'less' invocation)

    ^      show first message
    n,J	   show next message
    p,P,K  show previous message

    d	mark message for later deletion, by adding to sequence 'mldel'.
    s	mark message for later spam training, by adding to sequence 'mlspam'.
    u	mark message to remain "unread", by adding to sequence 'mlunr'.
    U	undo, i.e., remove it from any of 'mldel', 'mlspam', and 'mlunr'.

    r	compose a reply
    R	compose a reply to all message recipients
    f	forward the current message

    S	sort the messages, by subject and date
    H	render html from the message
    V	run 'urlview' on the message
    E	edit the raw message file

    q	quit.  The 'mlunr' sequence will be added back to '$ml_unseen_seq',
	    messages in the 'mldel' are deleted, and those in 'mlspam'
	    are dealt with accordingly.  Any messages that were read,
	    but not deleted or marked as spam will be left in the
	    'mlkeep' sequence.  If ml dies unexpectedly (or the 'Q'
	    command is used instead of 'q'), "ml -a" (see below) can
	    be used to apply the changes that would have been made.

    Q,X exit.  Useful if you want to "start over".  The '$ml_unseen_seq'
	    sequence will be restored to its previous state, and the
	    current message list is preserved to 'mlprev'.  No other
	    message processing is done.

    Any other command which causes less to quit will simply display
    the next message.  ('q', for instance)

    ml recognizes three special commandline arguments:
      "ml -s"  will report the status of the sequences ml uses, which is
		handy after quitting with 'X', for example.
      "ml -a"  will apply the changes indicated by the user -- messages
		in the 'mldel' sequence are deleted, messages in the
		'mlspam' sequence are trained and marked as spam, and
		the 'mlunr' sequence is added to the '$ml_unseen_seq'
		sequence.
      "ml -k"  will recreate the ml_lesskey file used by ml when running
		less.  ml will usually handle this automatically.
