It may repair ;; articles of other user agents too. ;; ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ;; ;; Outlook sometimes wraps cited lines before sending a message as ;; seen in this example: ;; ;; Example #1 ;; ---------- ;; ;; John Doe wrote: ;; ;; > This sentence no verb. This sentence no verb. This sentence ;; no ;; > verb. This sentence no verb. This sentence no verb. This ;; > sentence no verb. ;; ;; The function `gnus-article-outlook-unwrap-lines' tries to recognize those ;; erroneously wrapped lines and will unwrap them. I.e. putting the ;; wrapped parts ("no" in this example) back where they belong (at the ;; end of the cited line above). ;; ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ;; ;; Note that some people not only use broken user agents but also ;; practice a bad citation style by omitting blank lines between the ;; cited text and their own text. ;: ;; Example #2 ;; ---------- ;; ;; John Doe wrote: ;; ;; > This sentence no verb. This sentence no verb. This sentence no ;; You forgot in all your sentences. ;; > verb. This sentence no verb. This sentence no verb. This ;; > sentence no verb. ;; ;; Unwrapping "You forgot in all your sentences." would be invalid as ;; this part wasn't intended to be cited text. ;; `gnus-article-outlook-unwrap-lines' will only unwrap lines if the resulting ;; citation line will be of a certain maximum length. You can control ;; this by adjusting `gnus-outlook-deuglify-unwrap-max'. Also ;; unwrapping will only be done if the line above the (possibly) ;; wrapped line has a minimum length of `gnus-outlook-deuglify-unwrap-min'. ;; ;; Furthermore no unwrapping will be undertaken if the last character ;; is one of the chars specified in ;; `gnus-outlook-deuglify-unwrap-stop-chars'. Setting this to ".?!" ;; inhibits unwrapping if the cited line ends with a full stop, ;; question mark or exclamation mark. Note that this variable ;; defaults to nil, triggering a few false positives but generally ;; giving you better results. ;; ;; Unwrapping works on every level of citation. Thus you will be able ;; repair broken citations of broken user agents citing broken ;; citations of broken user agents citing broken citations... ;; ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ;; ;; Citations are commonly introduced with an attribution line ;; indicating who wrote the cited text. Outlook adds superfluous ;; information that can be found in the header of the message to this ;; line and often wraps it. ;; ;; If that weren't enough, lots of people write their own text above ;; the cited text and cite the complete original article below. ;; ;; Example #3 ;; ---------- ;; ;; Hey, John. There's no in all your sentences! ;; ;; John Doe wrote in message ;; news:a87usw8$dklsssa$2@some.news.server... ;; > This sentence no verb. This sentence no verb. This sentence ;; no ;; > verb. This sentence no verb. This sentence no verb. This ;; > sentence no verb. ;; > ;; > Bye, John ;; ;; Repairing the attribution line will be done by function ;; `gnus-article-outlook-repair-attribution' which calls other function that ;; try to recognize and repair broken attribution lines. See variable ;; `gnus-outlook-deuglify-attrib-cut-regexp' for stuff that should be ;; cut off from the beginning of an attribution line and variable ;; `gnus-outlook-deuglify-attrib-verb-regexp' for the verbs that are ;; required to be found in an attribution line. These function return ;; the point where the repaired attribution line starts. ;; ;; Rearranging the article so that the cited text appears above the ;; new text will be done by function ;; `gnus-article-outlook-rearrange-citation'. This function calls ;; `gnus-article-outlook-repair-attribution' to find and repair an attribution ;; line. ;; ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ;; ;; Well, and that's what the message will look like after applying ;; deuglification: ;; ;; Example #3 (deuglified) ;; ----------------------- ;; ;; John Doe wrote: ;; ;; > This sentence no verb. This sentence no verb. This sentence no ;; > verb. This sentence no verb. This sentence no verb. This ;; > sentence no verb. ;; > ;; > Bye, John ;; ;; Hey, John. There's no in all your sentences! ;; ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ;; ;; Usage ;; ----- ;; ;; Press `W k' in the Summary Buffer. ;; ;; Non recommended usage :-) ;; --------------------- ;; ;; To automatically invoke deuglification on every article you read, ;; put something like that in your .gnus: ;; ;; (add-hook 'gnus-article-decode-hook #'gnus-article-outlook-unwrap-lines) ;; ;; or _one_ of the following lines: ;; ;; ;; repair broken attribution lines ;; (add-hook 'gnus-article-decode-hook #'gnus-article-outlook-repair-attribution) ;; ;; ;; repair broken attribution lines and citations ;; (add-hook 'gnus-article-decode-hook #'gnus-article-outlook-rearrange-citation) ;; ;; Note that there always may be some false positives, so I suggest ;; using the manual invocation. After deuglification you may want to ;; refill the whole article using `W w'. ;; ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ;; ;; Limitations ;; ----------- ;; ;; As I said before there may (or will) be a few false positives on ;; unwrapping cited lines with `gnus-article-outlook-unwrap-lines'. ;; ;; `gnus-article-outlook-repair-attribution' will only fix the first ;; attribution line found in the article. Furthermore it fixed to ;; certain kinds of attributions. And there may be horribly many ;; false positives, vanishing lines and so on -- so don't trust your ;; eyes. Again I recommend manual invocation. ;; ;; `gnus-article-outlook-rearrange-citation' carries all the limitations of ;; `gnus-article-outlook-repair-attribution'. ;; ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ;; ;; See commit log for other changes. ;; ;; Revision 1.5 2002/01/27 14:39:17 rscholz ;; * New variable `gnus-outlook-deuglify-no-wrap-chars' to inhibit ;; unwrapping if one these chars is first in the possibly wrapped line. ;; * Improved rearranging of the article. ;; * New function `gnus-outlook-repair-attribution-block' for repairing ;; those big "Original Message (following some headers)" attributions. ;; ;; Revision 1.4 2002/01/03 14:05:00 rscholz ;; Renamed `gnus-outlook-deuglify-article' to ;; `gnus-article-outlook-deuglify-article'. ;; Made it easier to deuglify the article while being in Gnus' Article ;; Edit Mode. (suggested by Phil Nitschke) ;; ;; ;; Revision 1.3 2002/01/02 23:35:54 rscholz ;; Fix a bug that caused succeeding long attribution lines to be ;; unwrapped.
