; Steve Strassmann (straz@media-lab.media.mit.edu) didn't write
; this, and even if he did, he really didn't mean for you to use it
; in an anarchistic way.
; May 1987
; To use this:
; Make sure you have the variable SPOOK-PHRASES-FILE pointing to
; a valid phrase file. Phrase files are in the same format as
; zippy's yow.lines (ITS-style LINS format).
; Strings are terminated by ascii 0 characters. Leading whitespace ignored.
; Everything up to the first \000 is a comment.
;
; Just before sending mail, do M-x spook.
; A number of phrases will be inserted into your buffer, to help
; give your message that extra bit of attractiveness for automated
; keyword scanners.
; Variables
(defvar spook-phrases-file (concat exec-directory "spook.lines")
