26 | ; Steve Strassmann (straz@media-lab.media.mit.edu) didn't write | |
27 | ; this, and even if he did, he really didn't mean for you to use it | |
28 | ; in an anarchistic way. | |
29 | ; May 1987 | |
30 | ||
31 | ; To use this: | |
32 | ; Make sure you have the variable SPOOK-PHRASES-FILE pointing to | |
33 | ; a valid phrase file. Phrase files are in the same format as | |
34 | ; zippy's yow.lines (ITS-style LINS format). | |
35 | ; Strings are terminated by ascii 0 characters. Leading whitespace ignored. | |
36 | ; Everything up to the first \000 is a comment. | |
37 | ; | |
38 | ; Just before sending mail, do M-x spook. | |
39 | ; A number of phrases will be inserted into your buffer, to help | |
40 | ; give your message that extra bit of attractiveness for automated | |
41 | ; keyword scanners. | |
