GNUS, RMAIL, or RNEWS with any Emacs 19

These MUAs, distributed with both FSF and Lucid GNU Emacs 19, use Emacs' built-in yanking facility, which provides the citing hook variable mail-citation-hook. By default, this hook's value is nil, but by adding the following to your `.emacs' file, you can tell these MUAs to use Supercite to perform the citing of the original message: 

(add-hook 'mail-citation-hook 'sc-cite-original)

GNUS users may also want to add the following bit of lisp as well. This prevents GNUS from inserting its default attribution header. Otherwise, both GNUS and Supercite will insert an attribution header: 

(setq news-reply-header-hook nil)

Note that the mail-citation-hook interface described above was not supported in FSF Emacs 19 until version 19.16 and in Lucid Emacs 19 until version 19.8. If you are running an earlier version of one of these Emacsen, you will need to either upgrade to the latest version, or use the unsupported overloading feature provided with Supercite. See section Overloading for Non-conforming MUAs.
