;; 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.

;; This regexp identifies an escaped percentage sign.
