+;; This file provides the (with-mail-out action . user) procedure. This
+;; procedure runs the action in a child process, allowing the user control over
+;; the input and output (including standard error). The input is governed (only
+;; in the case of a string action) by the placing of percentage signs in the
+;; string; the first delimits the true action from the standard input, and
+;; subsequent ones denote newlines to be placed into the input. The output (if
+;; there actually is any) is controlled by the MAILTO environment variable. If
+;; this is not defined, output is e-mailed to the user passed as argument, if
+;; any, or else the owner of the action; if defined but empty then any output is
+;; sunk to /dev/null; otherwise output is e-mailed to the address held in the
+;; MAILTO variable.
+
+
+;; An action string consists of a sequence of characters forming a command
+;; executable by the shell, possibly followed by an non-escaped percentage
+;; sign. The text after the percentage sign is to be fed to the command's
+;; standard input, with further unescaped percents being substituted with
+;; newlines. The escape character can itself be escaped.
+;;
+;; This regexp separates the two halves of the string, and indeed determines if
+;; the second part is present.
