;;; Commentary:

;; The hashcash binary is at http://www.hashcash.org/.
;;
;; Call `mail-add-payment' to add a hashcash payment to a mail message
;; in the current buffer.
;;
;; Call `mail-add-payment-async' after writing the addresses but
;; before writing the mail to start calculating the hashcash payment
;; asynchronously.
;;
;; The easiest way to do this automatically for all outgoing mail is
;; to set `message-generate-hashcash' to `opportunistic' or t.  If you
;; want more control, try the following hooks.
;;
;; To automatically add payments to all outgoing mail when sending:
;;    (add-hook 'message-send-hook 'mail-add-payment)
;;
;; To start calculations automatically when addresses are prefilled:
;;    (add-hook 'message-setup-hook 'mail-add-payment-async)
;;
;; To check whether calculations are done before sending:
;;    (add-hook 'message-send-hook 'hashcash-wait-or-cancel)
;;
;; For more information, see Info node `(gnus) Hashcash'.
