These following commands move to the header in question. If it doesn’t exist, it will be inserted.
Describe the message mode.
Go to the To header
(message-goto-to).
Go to the From header
(message-goto-from). (The “o” in the
key binding is for Originator.)
Go to the Bcc header
(message-goto-bcc).
Go to the Fcc header
(message-goto-fcc).
Go to the Cc header
(message-goto-cc).
Go to the Subject header
(message-goto-subject).
Go to the Reply-To header
(message-goto-reply-to).
Go to the Newsgroups header
(message-goto-newsgroups).
Go to the Distribution header
(message-goto-distribution).
Go to the Followup-To header
(message-goto-followup-to).
Go to the Keywords header
(message-goto-keywords).
Go to the Summary header
(message-goto-summary).
This inserts the ‘Importance:’ header with a value of ‘high’. This header is used to signal the importance of the message to the receiver. If the header is already present in the buffer, it cycles between the three valid values according to RFC 1376: ‘low’, ‘normal’ and ‘high’.
Insert a reasonable
‘Mail-Followup-To:’ header (see
Mailing Lists)
in a post to an unsubscribed list. When making original posts
to a mailing list you are not subscribed to, you have to type
in a ‘Mail-Followup-To:’ header by
hand. The contents, usually, are the addresses of the list
and your own address. This function inserts such a header
automatically. It fetches the contents of the
‘To:’ header in the current mail
buffer, and appends the current
user-mail-address.
If the optional argument include-cc is
non-nil, the addresses in the
‘Cc:’ header are also put into the
‘Mail-Followup-To:’ header.
Sort headers according to
message-header-format-alist
(message-sort-headers).
Insert a To header that contains the
Reply-To or From header of the
message you’re following up
(message-insert-to).
Insert a Newsgroups header that reflects the
Followup-To or Newsgroups header of
the article you’re replying to
(message-insert-newsgroups).
Send a message to the list only. Remove all addresses but
the list address from To: and Cc:
headers.
Insert a request for a disposition notification.
(message-insert-disposition-notification-to).
This means that if the recipient supports RFC 2298 she might
send you a notification that she received the message.
Insert an ‘Importance’ header with a value of ‘high’, deleting headers if necessary.
Insert an ‘Importance’ header with a value of ‘low’, deleting headers if necessary.
Change the current ‘Subject’
header. Ask for new ‘Subject’ header
and append ‘(was: <Old
Subject>)’. The old subject can be stripped
on replying, see
message-subject-trailing-was-query (see Message
Headers).
Set up the ‘FollowUp-To’ header
with a target newsgroup for a cross-post, add that target
newsgroup to the ‘Newsgroups’ header
if it is not a member of
‘Newsgroups’, and insert a note in
the body. If message-cross-post-default is
nil or if this command is called with a
prefix-argument, only the
‘FollowUp-To’ header will be set but
the target newsgroup will not be added to the
‘Newsgroups’ header. The function to
insert a note is controlled by the
message-cross-post-note-function variable.
Replace contents of ‘To’ header with contents of ‘Cc’ header (or the ‘Bcc’ header, if there is no ‘Cc’ header).
Insert ‘To’ and ‘Cc’ headers as if you were doing a wide reply even if the message was not made for a wide reply first.
Insert ‘X-No-Archive: Yes’ in the
header and a note in the body. The header and the note can be
customized using message-archive-header and
message-archive-note. When called with a prefix
argument, ask for a text to insert. If you don’t want
the note in the body, set message-archive-note
to nil.
