+
+;;; Commentary:
+
+;; This file tries to provide backward compatability with sendmail.el
+;; for Message mode.  It should be used by simply adding 
+;;
+;; (require 'messcompat)
+;;
+;; to the .emacs file.  Loading it after Message mode has been
+;; loaded will have no effect.
+
+;;; Code:
+
+(require 'sendmail)
+
+(defvar message-from-style mail-from-style
+  "*Specifies how \"From\" headers look.
+
+If `nil', they contain just the return address like:
+	king@grassland.com
+If `parens', they look like:
+	king@grassland.com (Elvis Parsley)
+If `angles', they look like:
+	Elvis Parsley <king@grassland.com>
+
+Otherwise, most addresses look like `angles', but they look like
+`parens' if `angles' would need quoting and `parens' would not.")
+
+(defvar message-interactive mail-interactive
+  "Non-nil means when sending a message wait for and display errors.
+nil means let mailer mail back a message to report errors.")

+The function `message-setup' runs this hook.")

+(defvar message-default-headers mail-default-headers
