Re: WL main page on emacs wiki

Hi,

I am very much in favor of this idea, Erik  As a newer user of Wanderlust I have found documentation a bit scattered across mailing list posts, blogs et cetera. I would love to see some of this info coalesce.

Perhaps a few things might be:

How to set up IMAP and SMTP (using auth) with notes about ssl.  Also how to save sent mail automatically to sent.

(setq wl-fcc "%Sent")                       ;; sent msgs go to the "sent"-folder
(setq wl-fcc-force-as-read t)               ;; mark sent messages as read


Also integration with BBDB i found necessary to make WL more useful to me.  How to add a signature, would be good for some users also.

html emails tripped me up for a bit also.

I never have found out how to make WL show my new emails without  using "s" each time

a bit about mailcap would serve many too i suspect,

maybe:

application/PDF;        /opt/bin/acroread %s
application/pdf;        /opt/bin/acroread %s
application/excel;        /usr/bin/oocalc %s
application/x-excel;        /usr/bin/oocalc %s
application/x-msexcel;        /usr/bin/oocalc %s
application/vnd.ms-excel;    /usr/bin/oocalc %s
application/ms-word;        /usr/bin/oowriter %s
application/msword;        /usr/bin/oowriter %s
application/rtf;        /usr/bin/oowriter %s
application/powerpoint;        /usr/bin/ooimpress %s
application/mspowerpoint;    /usr/bin/ooimpress %s
application/vnd.ms-powerpoint;    /usr/bin/ooimpress %s

I have decent english skills and would be glad to contibute in any way I could.  These are just a few examples, from my perspective.

Thanks,

Adrian

Hi,

The WL main page on the Emacs wiki is the second google result for
[wanderlust emacs]. I do not find the quickstart guide very
useful. (for example, you should not edit your ~/.folders file, it
discusses ~/.mailcap which is a little advanced, it gives no
information about how to format folder entries, etc.)

I hope to spend a little time re-working it. Any thoughts?

best, Erik
