For any reader package except MH-E, you will need to connect supercite
to the standard hook variable mail-yank-hooks. MH-E users will
need to connect supercite to mh-yank-hooks. The supercite
function sc-cite-original is intended to be run from a hook. It
not only cites the text, also does much pre- and post-processing on the
reply buffer (see section Replying and Yanking) so it should be the first
supercite function to be called on a raw reply buffer. Thus, you will
need one of the following two lines in your `.emacs' file:
(setq mail-yank-hooks 'sc-cite-original) ; for all but MH-E (setq mh-yank-hooks 'sc-cite-original) ; for MH-E only
Also, if supercite is not compiled into your emacs image, you will need to set up the following autoload, also in your `.emacs' file:
(autoload 'sc-cite-original "sc" "Supercite 2.2" t)
Supercite will run the user definable hook sc-load-hook after
loading. Default value for this variable is nil.
