Supercite Version 3.1 User's Manual

5.2 GNUS, RMAIL, PCMAIL, RNEWS with Emacs 18 or Epoch 4

These MUAs use Emacs' built-in yanking and citing routines, contained in the `sendmail.el' file. `sendmail.el' for Emacs 18, and its derivative Epoch 4, do not know anything about the citation interface required by Supercite. To connect Supercite to any of these MUAs under Emacs 18 or Epoch 4, you should first see section 5.6 Overloading for Non-conforming MUAs. Then follow the directions for using these MUAs under Emacs 19. See section 5.1 GNUS, RMAIL, or RNEWS with any Emacs 19.

Note that those instructions will tell you to use the function add-hook. This function is new with Emacs 19 and you will not have it by default if you are running Emacs 18 or Epoch 4. You can either substitute the appropriate call to setq, or you can use the add-hook function that is provided in the `sc-unsupp.el' file of unsupported Supercite hacks and ideas. Or you can upgrade to some Emacs 19 variant! :-)

To use setq instead of add-hook, you would, for example, change this:

(add-hook 'mail-citation-hook 'sc-cite-original)

to:

(setq mail-citation-hook 'sc-cite-original)

Note the lack of of a single quote on the first argument to setq.
