• From: "UNIX EMail Software - a Survey"

  Supercite is a GNU Emacs package written entirely in elisp which interfaces to common mail and news reading subsystems, and provides sophisticated citing and attributing of the original messages. Supercite has a very specific and limited role in the process of composing replies to both Netnews and Electronic Mail.

  Supercite is only useful in conjunction with mail/news reading subsystems such as VM, GNUS, RMAIL, etc. (hereafter referred to collectively as readers). Supercite is typically called through a hook, defined by the reader, when the initial reply buffer is set up. Thereafter, supercite's many commands and formatting styles are available in that reply buffer until the reply is sent, at which time supercite is re-initialized and ready for the next reply.
