Documentation

What to do when the button on a string as "foo123@bar.invalid" is pushed.

Strings like this can be either a message ID or a mail address. If it is one of the symbols mid or mail, Gnus will always assume that the string is a message ID or a mail address, respectively. If this variable is set to the symbol ask, always query the user what to do. If it is a function, this function will be called with the string as its only argument. The function must return mid, mail, invalid or ask.

This variable was added, or its default value changed, in Emacs 22.1.
