@item message-indent-citation-function
@vindex message-indent-citation-function
Check whether the newsgroups mentioned in the Newsgroups and
Followup-To headers exist.

-Check whether the @code{Newsgroups} and @code{Followup-To} headers
-are valid syntactially.
+Check whether the @code{Newsgroups} and @code{Followup-to} headers
+are valid syntactically.

All these conditions are checked by default.

+newsgroups the article has been posted to will be inserted there. If

+@vindex message-generate-new-buffers
+If non-@code{nil}, generate new buffers. The default is @code{t}. If
+this is a function, call that function with three parameters: The type,
+the to address and the group name. (Any of these may be @code{nil}.)
+The function should return the new buffer name.
@item message-max-buffers
-@findex message-max-buffers
+@vindex message-max-buffers
This variable says how many old message buffers to keep. If there are
more message buffers than this, the oldest buffer will be killed. The
default is 10. If this variable is @code{nil}, no old message buffers
will ever be killed.
+@item message-send-rename-function
+@vindex message-send-rename-function
+After sending a message, the buffer is renamed from, for instance,
+@samp{*reply to Lars*} to @samp{*sent reply to Lars*}. If you don't
+like this, set this variable to a function that renames the buffer in a
+manner you like. If you don't want to rename the buffer at all, you can
+say:
+
+@lisp
+(setq message-send-rename-function 'ignore)
