; 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.
