26: ; To use this:
27: ; Make sure you have the variable SPOOK-PHRASES-FILE pointing to
28: ; a valid phrase file. Phrase files are in the same format as
29: ; zippy's yow.lines (ITS-style LINS format).
30: ; Strings are terminated by ascii 0 characters. Leading whitespace ignored.
31: ; Everything up to the first \000 is a comment.
32: ;
33: ; Just before sending mail, do M-x spook.
34: ; A number of phrases will be inserted into your buffer, to help
35: ; give your message that extra bit of attractiveness for automated
36: ; keyword scanners.
