Mail Field Commands
===================

   These commands allow you to view, modify, add, and delete various
bits of information from the info alist.  Note: Information Keys and
the Info Alist.

`sc-mail-field-query' (`C-c C-p f')
     Allows you to interactively view, modify, add, and delete info
     alist key-value pairs.  With no argument, you are prompted (with
     completion) for a info key.  The value associated with that key is
     displayed in the minibuffer.  With an argument, this command will
     first ask if you want to view, modify, add, or delete an info key.
     Viewing is identical to running the command with no arguments.

     If you want to modify the value of a key, Supercite will first
     prompt you (with completion) for the key of the value you want to
     change.  It will then put you in the minibuffer with the key's
     current value so you can edit the value as you wish.  When you hit
     <RET>, the key's value is changed.  For those of you running Emacs
     19, minibuffer history is kept for the values.

     If you choose to delete a key-value pair, Supercite will prompt
     you (with completion) for the key to delete.

     If you choose to add a new key-value pair, Supercite firsts
     prompts you for the key to add.  Note that completion is turned on
     for this prompt, but you can type any key name here, even one that
     does not yet exist.  After entering the key, Supercite prompts you
     for the key's value.  It is not an error to enter a key that
     already exists, but the new value will override any old value.  It
     will not replace it though; if you subsequently delete the
     key-value pair, the old value will reappear.

`sc-mail-process-headers' (`C-c C-p g')
     This command lets you re-initialize Supercite's info alist from
     any set of mail headers in the region between `point' and `mark'.
     This function is especially useful for replying to digest messages
     where Supercite will initially set up its information for the
     digest originator, but you want to cite each component article
     with the real message author.  Note that unless an error during
     processing occurs, any old information is lost.
