|||
|
* Changes in Oort Gnus
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
** `F' (`gnus-article-followup-with-original') and `R'
|
|||
|
(`gnus-article-reply-with-original') only yank the text in the region if the
|
|||
|
region is active.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
** `gnus-group-read-ephemeral-group' can be called interactively, using `G M'.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
** In draft groups, `e' is now bound to `gnus-draft-edit-message'.
|
|||
|
Use `B w' for `gnus-summary-edit-article' instead.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
** The revised Gnus FAQ is included in the manual.
|
|||
|
See the info node "Frequently Asked Questions".
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
** Upgrading from previous (stable) version if you have used Oort.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
If you have tried Oort (the unstable Gnus branch leading to this
|
|||
|
release) but went back to a stable version, be careful when upgrading
|
|||
|
to this version. In particular, you will probably want to remove all
|
|||
|
.marks (nnml) and .mrk (nnfolder) files, so that flags are read from
|
|||
|
your ~/.newsrc.eld instead of from the .marks/.mrk file where this
|
|||
|
release store flags. See a later entry for more information about
|
|||
|
marks. Note that downgrading isn't safe in general.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
** Article Buttons
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
More buttons for URLs, mail addresses, Message-IDs, Info links, man pages and
|
|||
|
Emacs or Gnus related references, see the info node "Article Buttons". The
|
|||
|
variables `gnus-button-*-level' can be used to control the appearance of all
|
|||
|
article buttons, see the info node "Article Button Levels".
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
** Dired integration
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
`gnus-dired-minor-mode' installs key bindings in dired buffers to send a file
|
|||
|
as an attachment (`C-c C-m C-a'), open a file using the approriate mailcap
|
|||
|
entry (`C-c C-m C-l'), and print a file using the mailcap entry (`C-c C-m
|
|||
|
C-p'). See the info node "Other modes".
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
** Gnus can display RSS newsfeeds as a newsgroup. To get started do `B
|
|||
|
nnrss RET RET' in the Group buffer.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
** Single-part yenc encoded attachments can be decoded.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
** Picons
|
|||
|
The picons code has been reimplemented to work in Emacs 21 -- some of
|
|||
|
the previous options have been removed or renamed.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Picons are small "personal icons" representing users, domain and
|
|||
|
newsgroups, which can be displayed in the Article buffer. To enable
|
|||
|
picons, install the picons database from
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
http://www.cs.indiana.edu/picons/ftp/index.html
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
and point `gnus-picon-databases' to that location.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
** If the new option `gnus-treat-body-boundary' is `head', a boundary
|
|||
|
line is drawn at the end of the headers.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
** Retrieval of charters and control messages
|
|||
|
There are new commands for fetching newsgroup charters (`H c') and
|
|||
|
control messages (`H C').
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
** Delayed articles
|
|||
|
You can delay the sending of a message with `C-c C-j' in the Message
|
|||
|
buffer. The messages are delivered at specified time. This is useful
|
|||
|
for sending yourself reminders. Setup with (gnus-delay-initialize).
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
** If `auto-compression-mode' is enabled, attachments are automatically
|
|||
|
decompressed when activated.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
** If the new option `nnml-use-compressed-files' is non-nil,
|
|||
|
the nnml back end allows compressed message files.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
** Signed article headers (X-PGP-Sig) can be verified with `W p'.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
** The Summary Buffer uses an arrow in the fringe to indicate the
|
|||
|
current article in Emacs 21 running on a graphical display. Customize
|
|||
|
`gnus-summary-display-arrow' to disable it.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
** Warn about email replies to news
|
|||
|
Do you often find yourself replying to news by email by mistake? Then
|
|||
|
the new option `gnus-confirm-mail-reply-to-news' is just the thing for
|
|||
|
you.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
** If the new option `gnus-summary-display-while-building' is non-nil,
|
|||
|
the summary buffer is shown and updated as it's being built.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
** The new `recent' mark "." indicates newly arrived messages (as
|
|||
|
opposed to old but unread messages).
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
** The new option `gnus-gcc-mark-as-read' automatically marks
|
|||
|
Gcc articles as read.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
** The nndoc back end now supports mailman digests and exim bounces.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
** Gnus supports RFC 2369 mailing list headers, and adds a number of
|
|||
|
related commands in mailing list groups.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
** The Date header can be displayed in a format that can be read aloud
|
|||
|
in English, see `gnus-treat-date-english'.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
** The envelope sender address can be customized when using Sendmail, see
|
|||
|
`message-sendmail-envelope-from'.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
** diffs are automatically highlighted in groups matching
|
|||
|
`mm-uu-diff-groups-regexp'
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
** TLS wrapper shipped with Gnus
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
TLS/SSL is now supported in IMAP and NNTP via tls.el and GNUTLS. The
|
|||
|
old TLS/SSL support via (external third party) ssl.el and OpenSSL
|
|||
|
still works.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
** New make.bat for compiling and installing Gnus under MS Windows
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Use make.bat if you want to install Gnus under MS Windows, the first
|
|||
|
argument to the batch-program should be the directory where xemacs.exe
|
|||
|
respectively emacs.exe is located, iff you want to install Gnus after
|
|||
|
compiling it, give make.bat /copy as the second parameter.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
`make.bat' has been rewritten from scratch, it now features automatic
|
|||
|
recognition of XEmacs and GNU Emacs, generates gnus-load.el, checks if
|
|||
|
errors occur while compilation and generation of info files and reports
|
|||
|
them at the end of the build process. It now uses makeinfo if it is
|
|||
|
available and falls back to infohack.el otherwise. `make.bat' should now
|
|||
|
install all files which are necessary to run Gnus and be generally a
|
|||
|
complete replacement for the "configure; make; make install" cycle used
|
|||
|
under Unix systems.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The new make.bat makes make-x.bat superfluous, so it has been removed.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
** Support for non-ASCII domain names
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Message supports non-ASCII domain names in From:, To: and Cc: and will
|
|||
|
query you whether to perform encoding when you try to send a message.
|
|||
|
The variable `message-use-idna' controls this. Gnus will also decode
|
|||
|
non-ASCII domain names in From:, To: and Cc: when you view a message.
|
|||
|
The variable `gnus-use-idna' controls this.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
** Better handling of Microsoft citation styles
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Gnus now tries to recognize the mangled header block that some Microsoft
|
|||
|
mailers use to indicate that the rest of the message is a citation, even
|
|||
|
though it is not quoted in any way. The variable
|
|||
|
`gnus-cite-unsightly-citation-regexp' matches the start of these
|
|||
|
citations.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
** gnus-article-skip-boring
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
If you set `gnus-article-skip-boring' to t, then Gnus will not scroll
|
|||
|
down to show you a page that contains only boring text, which by
|
|||
|
default means cited text and signature. You can customize what is
|
|||
|
skippable using `gnus-article-boring-faces'.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
This feature is especially useful if you read many articles that
|
|||
|
consist of a little new content at the top with a long, untrimmed
|
|||
|
message cited below.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
** The format spec %C for positioning point has changed to %*.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
** The new variable `gnus-parameters' can be used to set group parameters.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Earlier this was done only via `G p' (or `G c'), which stored the
|
|||
|
parameters in ~/.newsrc.eld, but via this variable you can enjoy the
|
|||
|
powers of customize, and simplified backups since you set the variable
|
|||
|
in ~/.emacs instead of ~/.newsrc.eld. The variable maps regular
|
|||
|
expressions matching group names to group parameters, a'la:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
(setq gnus-parameters
|
|||
|
'(("mail\\..*"
|
|||
|
(gnus-show-threads nil)
|
|||
|
(gnus-use-scoring nil))
|
|||
|
("^nnimap:\\(foo.bar\\)$"
|
|||
|
(to-group . "\\1"))))
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
** Smileys (":-)", ";-)" etc) are now iconized for Emacs too.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Customize `gnus-treat-display-smileys' to disable it.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
** Gnus no longer generates the Sender: header automatically.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Earlier it was generated iff the user configurable email address was
|
|||
|
different from the Gnus guessed default user address. As the guessing
|
|||
|
algorithm is rarely correct these days, and (more controversially) the
|
|||
|
only use of the Sender: header was to check if you are entitled to
|
|||
|
cancel/supersede news (which is now solved by Cancel Locks instead,
|
|||
|
see another entry), generation of the header has been disabled by
|
|||
|
default. See the variables `message-required-headers',
|
|||
|
`message-required-news-headers', and `message-required-mail-headers'.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
** Features from third party message-utils.el added to message.el.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Message now asks if you wish to remove "(was: <old subject>)" from
|
|||
|
subject lines (see `message-subject-trailing-was-query'). C-c M-m and
|
|||
|
C-c M-f inserts markers indicating included text. C-c C-f a adds a
|
|||
|
X-No-Archive: header. C-c C-f x inserts appropriate headers and a
|
|||
|
note in the body for cross-postings and followups (see the variables
|
|||
|
`message-cross-post-*').
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
** References and X-Draft-Headers are no longer generated when you
|
|||
|
start composing messages and `message-generate-headers-first' is nil.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
** Improved anti-spam features.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Gnus is now able to take out spam from your mail and news streams
|
|||
|
using a wide variety of programs and filter rules. Among the supported
|
|||
|
methods are RBL blocklists, bogofilter and white/blacklists. Hooks
|
|||
|
for easy use of external packages such as SpamAssassin and Hashcash
|
|||
|
are also new.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
** Easy inclusion of X-Faces headers.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
** In the summary buffer, the new command / N inserts new messages and
|
|||
|
/ o inserts old messages.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
** Gnus decodes morse encoded messages if you press W m.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
** Unread count correct in nnimap groups.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The estimated number of unread articles in the group buffer should now
|
|||
|
be correct for nnimap groups. This is achieved by calling
|
|||
|
`nnimap-fixup-unread-after-getting-new-news' from the
|
|||
|
`gnus-setup-news-hook' (called on startup) and
|
|||
|
`gnus-after-getting-new-news-hook' (called after getting new mail).
|
|||
|
If you have modified those variables from the default, you may want to
|
|||
|
add n-f-u-a-g-n-n again. If you were happy with the estimate and want
|
|||
|
to save some (minimal) time when getting new mail, remove the
|
|||
|
function.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
** Group Carbon Copy (GCC) quoting
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
To support groups that contains SPC and other weird characters, groups
|
|||
|
are quoted before they are placed in the Gcc: header. This means
|
|||
|
variables such as `gnus-message-archive-group' should no longer
|
|||
|
contain quote characters to make groups containing SPC work. Also, if
|
|||
|
you are using the string "nnml:foo, nnml:bar" (indicating Gcc into two
|
|||
|
groups) you must change it to return the list ("nnml:foo" "nnml:bar"),
|
|||
|
otherwise the Gcc: line will be quoted incorrectly. Note that
|
|||
|
returning the string "nnml:foo, nnml:bar" was incorrect earlier, it
|
|||
|
just didn't generate any problems since it was inserted directly.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
** ~/News/overview/ not used.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
As a result of the following change, the ~/News/overview/ directory is
|
|||
|
not used any more. You can safely delete the entire hierarchy.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
** gnus-agent
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The Gnus Agent has seen a major update. It is now enabled by default,
|
|||
|
and all nntp and nnimap servers from `gnus-select-method' and
|
|||
|
`gnus-secondary-select-method' are agentized by default. Earlier only
|
|||
|
the server in `gnus-select-method' was agentized by the default, and the
|
|||
|
agent was disabled by default. When the agent is enabled, headers are
|
|||
|
now also retrieved from the Agent cache instead of the backends when
|
|||
|
possible. Earlier this only happened in the unplugged state. You can
|
|||
|
enroll or remove servers with `J a' and `J r' in the server buffer.
|
|||
|
Gnus will not download articles into the Agent cache, unless you
|
|||
|
instruct it to do so, though, by using `J u' or `J s' from the Group
|
|||
|
buffer. You revert to the old behaviour of having the Agent disabled
|
|||
|
by customizing `gnus-agent'. Note that putting `(gnus-agentize)' in
|
|||
|
~/.gnus is not needed any more.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
** gnus-summary-line-format
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The default value changed to "%U%R%z%I%(%[%4L: %-23,23f%]%) %s\n".
|
|||
|
Moreover `gnus-extra-headers', `nnmail-extra-headers' and
|
|||
|
`gnus-ignored-from-addresses' changed their default so that the users
|
|||
|
name will be replaced by the recipient's name or the group name
|
|||
|
posting to for NNTP groups.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
** deuglify.el (gnus-article-outlook-deuglify-article)
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
A new file from Raymond Scholz <rscholz@zonix.de> for deuglifying
|
|||
|
broken Outlook (Express) articles.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
** (require 'gnus-load)
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
If you use a stand-alone Gnus distribution, you'd better add
|
|||
|
"(require 'gnus-load)" to your ~/.emacs after adding the Gnus
|
|||
|
lisp directory into load-path.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
File gnus-load.el contains autoload commands, functions and variables,
|
|||
|
some of which may not be included in distributions of Emacsen.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
** gnus-slave-unplugged
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
A new command which starts gnus offline in slave mode.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
** message-insinuate-rmail
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Adding (message-insinuate-rmail) in .emacs and customizing
|
|||
|
`mail-user-agent' to `gnus-user-agent' convinces Rmail to compose,
|
|||
|
reply and forward messages in Message mode, where you can enjoy the
|
|||
|
power of MML.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
** message-minibuffer-local-map
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The line below enables BBDB in resending a message:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
(define-key message-minibuffer-local-map [?\t] 'bbdb-complete-name)
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
** Externalizing and deleting of attachments.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
If `gnus-gcc-externalize-attachments' (or
|
|||
|
`message-fcc-externalize-attachments') is non-nil, attach local files
|
|||
|
as external parts.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The command `gnus-mime-save-part-and-strip' (bound to `C-o' on MIME
|
|||
|
buttons) saves a part and replaces the part with an external one.
|
|||
|
`gnus-mime-delete-part' (bound to `d' on MIME buttons) removes a part.
|
|||
|
It works only on back ends that support editing.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
** gnus-default-charset
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The default value now guesses on the basis of your environment instead
|
|||
|
of using Latin-1. Also the ".*" item in gnus-group-charset-alist is
|
|||
|
removed.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
** gnus-posting-styles
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Add a new format of match like
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
((header "to" "larsi.*org")
|
|||
|
(Organization "Somewhere, Inc."))
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The old format like the lines below is obsolete, but still accepted.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
(header "to" "larsi.*org"
|
|||
|
(Organization "Somewhere, Inc."))
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
** message-ignored-news-headers and message-ignored-mail-headers
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
X-Draft-From and X-Gnus-Agent-Meta-Information have been added into
|
|||
|
these two variables. If you customized those, perhaps you need add
|
|||
|
those two headers too.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
** Gnus reads the NOV and articles in the Agent if plugged.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
If one reads an article while plugged, and the article already exists
|
|||
|
in the Agent, it won't get downloaded once more. Customize
|
|||
|
`gnus-agent-cache' to revert to the old behavior.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
** Gnus supports the "format=flowed" (RFC 2646) parameter.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
On composing messages, it is enabled by `use-hard-newlines'. Decoding
|
|||
|
format=flowed was present but not documented in earlier versions.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
** Gnus supports the generation of RFC 2298 Disposition Notification requests.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
This is invoked with the C-c M-n key binding from message mode.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
** Gnus supports Maildir groups.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Gnus includes a new backend nnmaildir.el.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
** Printing capabilities are enhanced.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Gnus supports Muttprint natively with O P from the Summary and Article
|
|||
|
buffers. Also, each individual MIME part can be printed using p on
|
|||
|
the MIME button.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
** Message supports the Importance: (RFC 2156) header.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
In the message buffer, `C-c C-f C-i' or `C-c C-u' cycles through the
|
|||
|
valid values.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
** Gnus supports Cancel Locks in News.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
This means a header "Cancel-Lock" is inserted in news posting. It is
|
|||
|
used to determine if you wrote a article or not (for cancelling and
|
|||
|
superseding). Gnus generates a random password string the first time
|
|||
|
you post a message, and saves it using the Custom system. While the
|
|||
|
variable is called `canlock-password', it is not security sensitive
|
|||
|
data. Publishing your canlock string on the web will not allow anyone
|
|||
|
to be able to anything she could not already do. The behaviour can be
|
|||
|
changed by customizing `message-insert-canlock'.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
** Gnus supports server-side mail filtering using Sieve.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Sieve rules can be added as Group Parameters for groups, and the
|
|||
|
complete Sieve script is generated using `D g' from the Group buffer,
|
|||
|
and then uploaded to the server using `C-c C-l' in the generated Sieve
|
|||
|
buffer. Search the online Gnus manual for "sieve", and see the new
|
|||
|
Sieve manual, for more information.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
** Extended format specs.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
Format spec "%&user-date;" is added into
|
|||
|
`gnus-summary-line-format-alist'. Also, user defined extended format
|
|||
|
specs are supported. The extended format specs look like "%u&foo;",
|
|||
|
which invokes function `gnus-user-format-function-foo'. Because "&" is
|
|||
|
used as the escape character, old user defined format "%u&" is no
|
|||
|
longer supported.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
** `/ *' (gnus-summary-limit-include-cached) is rewritten.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
It was aliased to `Y c' (gnus-summary-insert-cached-articles). The new
|
|||
|
function filters out other articles.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
** Some limiting commands accept a C-u prefix to negate the match.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
If C-u is used on subject, author or extra headers, i.e., `/ s', `/
|
|||
|
a', and `/ x' (gnus-summary-limit-to-{subject,author,extra})
|
|||
|
respectively, the result will be to display all articles that do not
|
|||
|
match the expression.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
** Group names are treated as UTF-8 by default.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
This is supposedly what USEFOR wanted to migrate to. See
|
|||
|
`gnus-group-name-charset-group-alist' and
|
|||
|
`gnus-group-name-charset-method-alist' for customization.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
** The nnml and nnfolder backends store marks for each group.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
This makes it possible to take backup of nnml/nnfolder servers/groups
|
|||
|
separately of ~/.newsrc.eld, while preserving marks. It also makes it
|
|||
|
possible to share articles and marks between users (without sharing
|
|||
|
the ~/.newsrc.eld file) within e.g. a department. It works by storing
|
|||
|
the marks stored in ~/.newsrc.eld in a per-group file ".marks" (for
|
|||
|
nnml) and "groupname.mrk" (for nnfolder, named "groupname"). If the
|
|||
|
nnml/nnfolder is moved to another machine, Gnus will automatically use
|
|||
|
the .marks or .mrk file instead of the information in ~/.newsrc.eld.
|
|||
|
The new server variables `nnml-marks-is-evil' and
|
|||
|
`nnfolder-marks-is-evil' can be used to disable this feature.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
** The menu bar item (in Group and Summary buffer) named "Misc" has
|
|||
|
been renamed to "Gnus".
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
** The menu bar item (in Message mode) named "MML" has been renamed to
|
|||
|
"Attachments". Note that this menu also contains security related
|
|||
|
stuff, like signing and encryption.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
** gnus-group-charset-alist and gnus-group-ignored-charsets-alist.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The regexps in these variables are compared with full group names
|
|||
|
instead of real group names in 5.8. Users who customize these
|
|||
|
variables should change those regexps accordingly. For example:
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
("^han\\>" euc-kr) -> ("\\(^\\|:\\)han\\>" euc-kr)
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
** Gnus supports PGP (RFC 1991/2440), PGP/MIME (RFC 2015/3156) and
|
|||
|
S/MIME (RFC 2630-2633).
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
It needs an external S/MIME and OpenPGP implementation, but no
|
|||
|
additional lisp libraries. This add several menu items to the
|
|||
|
Attachments menu, and C-c RET key bindings, when composing messages.
|
|||
|
This also obsoletes `gnus-article-hide-pgp-hook'.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
** Gnus inlines external parts (message/external).
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
** MML (Mime compose) prefix changed from `M-m' to `C-c C-m'.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
This change was made to avoid conflict with the standard binding of
|
|||
|
`back-to-indentation', which is also useful in message mode.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
** The default for message-forward-show-mml changed to symbol best.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The behaviour for the `best' value is to show MML (i.e., convert MIME
|
|||
|
to MML) when appropriate. MML will not be used when forwarding signed
|
|||
|
or encrypted messages, as the conversion invalidate the digital
|
|||
|
signature.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
** Bug fixes.

* Changes in Pterodactyl Gnus (5.8/5.9)
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
The Gnus NEWS entries are short, but they reflect sweeping changes in
|
|||
|
four areas: Article display treatment, MIME treatment,
|
|||
|
internationalization and mail-fetching.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
** The mail-fetching functions have changed. See the manual for the
|
|||
|
many details. In particular, all procmail fetching variables are gone.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
If you used procmail like in
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
(setq nnmail-use-procmail t)
|
|||
|
(setq nnmail-spool-file 'procmail)
|
|||
|
(setq nnmail-procmail-directory "~/mail/incoming/")
|
|||
|
(setq nnmail-procmail-suffix "\\.in")
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
this now has changed to
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
(setq mail-sources
|
|||
|
'((directory :path "~/mail/incoming/"
|
|||
|
:suffix ".in")))
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
More information is available in the info doc at Select Methods ->
|
|||
|
Getting Mail -> Mail Sources
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
** Gnus is now a MIME-capable reader. This affects many parts of
|
|||
|
Gnus, and adds a slew of new commands. See the manual for details.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
** Gnus has also been multilingualized. This also affects too
|
|||
|
many parts of Gnus to summarize here, and adds many new variables.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
** gnus-auto-select-first can now be a function to be
|
|||
|
called to position point.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
** The user can now decide which extra headers should be included in
|
|||
|
summary buffers and NOV files.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
** `gnus-article-display-hook' has been removed. Instead, a number
|
|||
|
of variables starting with `gnus-treat-' have been added.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
** The Gnus posting styles have been redone again and now works in a
|
|||
|
subtly different manner.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
** New web-based backends have been added: nnslashdot, nnwarchive
|
|||
|
and nnultimate. nnweb has been revamped, again, to keep up with
|
|||
|
ever-changing layouts.
|
|||
|
|
|||
|
** Gnus can now read IMAP mail via nnimap.
|
|||
|
