;; USAGE NOTE
;;
;; You will need to configure mairix first, which involves setting up your
;; .mairixrc in your home directory. Once it is working, you should set up
;; your way to display results in your favorite way -- usually a MUA.
;; Currently gnus and mutt are supported.
;;
;; After both steps are done, all you should need to hook mairix, org
;; and your MUA together is to do (require 'org-mairix) in your
;; startup file. Everything can then be configured normally through
;; Emacs customisation.
