My Wanderlust setup

Wanderlust is a pain to set up, but the flexibility you get is worth it. I've been using it for a month now and (thanks to various posts and trawling through the cutomisation groups for wl, bbdb, mu-cite) this is what my wanderlust setup has grown to:


;; mode:-*-emacs-lisp-*-

(setq wl-summary-always-sticky-folder-list t)
(setq wl-summary-line-format "%n%T%P %D/%M (%W) %h:%m %t%[%25(%c %f%) %] %s")

(setq wl-user-mail-address-list (quote ("j.shuttleworth@coventry.ac.uk" "csx239@coventry.ac.uk")))

(setq bbdb-use-pop-up nil)

Comments:
Very nice. Thanks.
 
Good guide!
 
Thank you for your file!

I can now compose mail from bbdb via wanderlust by just hitting m.

*happy*
