Revision: [e-mail]--gnu-2005/emacs--cvs-trunk--0--patch-668 Merge from gnus--rel--5.10 Patches applied: * gnus--rel--5.10 (patch 157-168) - Merge from emacs--cvs-trunk--0 - Update from CVS - Update from CVS: texi/message.texi: Fix default values. 2005-12-08 Reiner Steib <[e-mail]> * lisp/gnus/mm-decode.el (mm-discouraged-alternatives): Fix custom type. Suggest image/.* in the doc string. 2005-12-07 Katsumi Yamaoka <[e-mail]> * lisp/gnus/mm-decode.el (mm-display-external): Use nametemplate (defined in RFC1524) if it is in mailcap or add a suffix according to mailcap-mime-extensions when generating a temp filename; postpone deleting a temp file for 2 seconds for some wrappers, shell scripts, and so on, which might exit right after having started a viewer command as a background job. 2005-12-06 Reiner Steib <[e-mail]> * lisp/gnus/gnus-art.el (gnus-default-article-saver): Add user-defined `function' to custom type. 2005-12-02 ARISAWA Akihiro <[e-mail]> (tiny change) * lisp/gnus/mm-view.el (mm-inline-text-html-render-with-w3m): Fix misplaced parens. 2005-11-29 Reiner Steib <[e-mail]> * lisp/gnus/gnus-cache.el (gnus-cache-rename-group): Wrap doc strings and long lines. (gnus-cache-delete-group): Wrap doc strings. * lisp/gnus/gnus-agent.el (gnus-agent-rename-group) (gnus-agent-delete-group): Wrap doc strings. 2005-11-24 Pascal Rigaux <[e-mail]> (tiny change) * lisp/gnus/rfc2231.el (rfc2231-parse-string): Support non-ascii chars. 2005-11-22 Katsumi Yamaoka <[e-mail]> * lisp/gnus/nnmail.el (nnmail-fancy-expiry-target): Use current-time instead of current-time-string. 2005-11-20 Stefan Schimanski <[e-mail]> (tiny change) * lisp/gnus/nnmail.el (nnmail-fancy-expiry-target): Protect against invalid date header. 2005-11-16 Boris Samorodov <[e-mail]> (tiny patch) * lisp/gnus/imap.el (imap-kerberos4-open): Ignore SSL stuff. 2005-11-14 Kevin Greiner <[e-mail]> * lisp/gnus/gnus-agent.el (gnus-agent-article-alist-save-format): Changed internal variable to a custom variable. Changed default value from compressed(2) to uncompressed(1). (gnus-agent-read-agentview): Reversed revision 7.8 to restore support for uncompressed agentview files. Taken together, reading the agentview file should now be 6-7 times faster. (gnus-agent-long-article, gnus-agent-short-article, gnus-agent-score): Renamed category keywords to match gnus-cus. (gnus-agent-summary-fetch-series): Modified to protect against gnus-agent-summary-fetch-group clearing processable flags. (gnus-agent-synchronize-group-flags): Update live group buffer as synchronization may occur due to the user toggling the plugged status. (gnus-agent-braid-nov): Now tests new nov entries for duplicates which are removed. The invalid sort check then triggers a rescan after the sort as sorting may have moved duplicate entries such that they can be cheaply detected. (gnus-agent-read-local): Trivial fix to format of error message to display actual error condition. (gnus-agent-save-local): Avoid saving symbols that are bound to nil as they simply result in a warning message in gnus-agent-read-local. (gnus-agent-fetch-group-1): Clear downloadable flag when article successfully downloaded. (gnus-agent-regenerate-group): Use gnus-agent-synchronize-group-flags to reset read status in both gnus and server. * lisp/gnus/nntp.el (nntp-end-of-line): Doc fix. (nntp-authinfo-rejected): New error condition. (nntp-wait-for): Use new error condition to signal authentication error. (nntp-retrieve-data): Rethrow new error condition to break out of recursive call to nntp-send-authinfo. 2005-11-13 Katsumi Yamaoka <[e-mail]> * lisp/gnus/gnus-start.el (gnus-dribble-read-file): Use make-local-variable rather than make-variable-buffer-local for file-precious-flag. 2005-11-13 Katsumi Yamaoka <[e-mail]> * lisp/gnus/gnus-start.el (gnus-dribble-read-file): Quote file-precious-flag. 2005-11-11 Jan Nieuwenhuizen <[e-mail]> * lisp/gnus/gnus-start.el (gnus-dribble-read-file): Set file-precious-flag, as a buffer-local variable. This avoids creating truncated dribble files as a result of a hang up, eg. 2005-11-04 Ken Manheimer <[e-mail]> * lisp/gnus/pgg-pgp.el (pgg-pgp-encrypt-region, pgg-pgp-decrypt-region) (pgg-pgp-encrypt-symmetric-region, pgg-pgp-encrypt-symmetric) (pgg-pgp-encrypt, pgg-pgp-decrypt-region, pgg-pgp-decrypt) (pgg-pgp-sign-region, pgg-pgp-sign): Add optional 'passphrase' argument to all these routines, so the passphrase can be managed externally and passed in to the system. (pgg-pgp-decrypt-region, pgg-pgp-sign-region): Use new name for pgg-add-passphrase-to-cache function. * lisp/gnus/pgg-pgp5.el (pgg-pgp5-encrypt-region, pgg-pgp5-decrypt-region) (pgg-pgp5-encrypt-symmetric-region, pgg-pgp5-encrypt-symmetric) (pgg-pgp5-encrypt, pgg-pgp5-decrypt-region, pgg-pgp5-decrypt) (pgg-pgp5-sign-region, pgg-pgp5-sign): Add optional 'passphrase' argument to all these routines, so the passphrase can be managed externally and passed in to the system. (pgg-pgp5-sign-region): Use new name of pgg-add-passphrase-to-cache function. 2005-10-30 Chong Yidong <[e-mail]> * lisp/gnus/imap.el (imap-open): Handle case where buffer is a buffer object. 2005-10-29 Ken Manheimer <[e-mail]> * lisp/gnus/pgg-gpg.el (pgg-gpg-select-matching-key): Fix: look at the right part of the decoded armor to find the key-identifier. (pgg-gpg-lookup-key-owner): New function to return the human-readable identifier of a key owner. (pgg-gpg-lookup-id-from-key-owner): Make it easy to identify the key itself. (pgg-gpg-decrypt-region): Prompt with the key owner (rather than the key value) if we have a key and can match it against a secret key. Also, added a note pointing out fact that the prompt only indicates the first matching key. * lisp/gnus/pgg.el (pgg-decrypt): Passing along 'passphrase' in call to pgg-decrypt-region. (pgg-pending-timers): A new hash for tracking the passphrase cache timers, so that new ones supercede old ones. (pgg-add-passphrase-to-cache): Rename from `pgg-add-passphrase-cache' to reduce confusion (all callers changed). Modified to cancel old timers when new ones are added. (pgg-remove-passphrase-from-cache): Rename from `pgg-remove-passphrase-cache' to reduce confusion (all callers changed). Modified to cancel old timers when their keys are removed from the cache. (pgg-cancel-timer): In Emacs, an alias for cancel-timer; in XEmacs, an indirection to delete-itimer. (pgg-read-passphrase-from-cache, pgg-read-passphrase): Extract pgg-read-passphrase-from-cache from pgg-read-passphrase so users can only check cache without risk of prompting. Correct bug in notruncate behavior. (pgg-read-passphrase-from-cache, pgg-read-passphrase) (pgg-add-passphrase-cache, pgg-remove-passphrase-cache): Add informative docstrings. (pgg-decrypt): Convey provided passphrase in subordinate call to pgg-decrypt-region. 2005-10-20 Ken Manheimer <[e-mail]> * lisp/gnus/pgg.el (pgg-encrypt-region, pgg-encrypt-symmetric-region) (pgg-encrypt-symmetric, pgg-encrypt, pgg-decrypt-region) (pgg-decrypt, pgg-sign-region, pgg-sign): Add optional 'passphrase' argument, so the passphrase can be managed externally and then passed in to the system. * lisp/gnus/pgg.el (pgg-read-passphrase, pgg-add-passphrase-cache) (pgg-remove-passphrase-cache): Add optional 'notruncate' argument, so the passphrase cache can be used reliably with identifiers besides a pgp packet's key id. * lisp/gnus/pgg-gpg.el (pgg-pgp-encrypt-region) (pgg-pgp-encrypt-symmetric-region, pgg-pgp-encrypt-symmetric) (pgg-pgp-encrypt, pgg-pgp-decrypt-region, pgg-pgp-decrypt) (pgg-pgp-sign-region, pgg-pgp-sign): Add optional 'passphrase' argument to all these routines, so the passphrase can be managed externally and passed in to the system. * lisp/gnus/pgg-gpg.el (pgg-gpg-possibly-cache-passphrase): Add optional 'notruncate' argument, so the passphrase cache can be used reliably with identifiers besides a pgp packet's key id. 2005-10-29 Sascha Wilde <[e-mail]> * lisp/gnus/pgg-gpg.el (pgg-gpg-encrypt-symmetric-region): New function for symmetric encryption. (pgg-gpg-symmetric-key-p): New function to check for an symmetric encrypted session key. (pgg-gpg-decrypt-region): When decrypting a symmetric encrypted message ask for the passphrase in a proper way. * lisp/gnus/pgg.el (pgg-encrypt-symmetric, pgg-encrypt-symmetric-region): New user commands for symmetric encryption. 2005-12-05 Katsumi Yamaoka <[e-mail]> * man/pgg.texi (User Commands): Fix description of pgg-verify-region. (Selecting an implementation): Fix descriptions. 2005-11-30 Katsumi Yamaoka <[e-mail]> * man/message.texi (Various Message Variables): Addition. 2005-11-29 Katsumi Yamaoka <[e-mail]> * man/message.texi: Fix default values. 2005-11-25 Katsumi Yamaoka <[e-mail]> * man/message.texi (Header Commands): Clarify descriptions of message-cross-post-followup-to, message-reduce-to-to-cc, and message-insert-wide-reply. (Various Commands): Fix kindex for message-kill-to-signature; clarify description of message-tab. 2005-11-22 Katsumi Yamaoka <[e-mail]> * man/message.texi (Mailing Lists): Fix description about MFT. * man/gnus.texi (Emacs Lisp): Use ~/.gnus.el instead of ~/.emacs. 2005-11-17 Katsumi Yamaoka <[e-mail]> * man/gnus.texi (Slow Terminal Connection): Replace old description with new one. 2005-11-16 Katsumi Yamaoka <[e-mail]> * man/gnus.texi (Oort Gnus): Use ~/.gnus.el instead of ~/.emacs; replace X-Draft-Headers with X-Draft-From. 2005-11-14 Katsumi Yamaoka <[e-mail]> * man/gnus.texi (Various Various): Fix the default value of nnheader-max-head-length.

	     Emacs for Windows NT/2000 and Windows 95/98/ME

  Copyright (C) 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
  See the end of the INSTALL file in this directory for copying permissions.

  This directory contains support for compiling and running GNU Emacs on
  Windows NT, Windows 95, and their successors.  This port supports all
  of the major functionality of the Unix version, including
  subprocesses, windowing features (fonts, colors, scroll bars, multiple
  frames, etc.), and networking support.

  Precompiled distributions are also available; ftp to

	ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/windows/emacs/latest/

  for the latest precompiled distributions.

* Building and installing

  See the INSTALL file in this directory for detailed instructions on
  building and installing Emacs on your system.

* Further information

  There is a web page that serves as a FAQ for the Windows port of
  Emacs (a.k.a. NTEmacs) at:

	http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/windows/ntemacs.html

  There is also a mailing list for discussing issues related to this
  port of Emacs.  For information about the list, see this Web page:

	http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-emacs-windows

  To ask questions on the mailing list, send email to
  [e-mail].  (You don't need to subscribe for that.)
  To subscribe to the list or unsubscribe from it, fill the form you
  find at http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-emacs-windows as
  explained there.

  Another valuable source of information and help which should not be
  overlooked is the various Usenet news groups dedicated to Emacs.
  These are particularly good for help with general issues which aren't
  specific to the Windows port of Emacs.  The main news groups to use
  for seeking help are:

	gnu.emacs.help
	comp.emacs

  There are also fairly regular postings and announcements of new or
  updated Emacs packages on this group:

	gnu.emacs.sources

* Reporting bugs

  If you encounter a bug in this port of Emacs, we would like to hear
  about it.  First check the file etc/PROBLEMS and the FAQ on the web
  page above to see if the bug is already known and if there are any
  workarounds.  If not, then check whether the bug has something to do
  with code in your .emacs file, e.g. by invoking Emacs with the "-q
  --no-site-file" options.

  If you decide that it is a bug in Emacs that might be specific to the
  Windows port, send a message to the [e-mail]
  mailing list describing the bug, the version of Emacs that you are
  using, and the operating system that you are running on (Windows NT,
  95 or 98 including service pack level if known).  If the bug is
  related to subprocesses, also specify which shell you are using (e.g.,
  include the values of `shell-file-name' and `shell-explicit-file-name'
  in your message).

  If you think the bug is not specific to the Windows port of Emacs,
  then it is better to mail the bug report to [e-mail] so
  that it will be seen by the right people.  If Emacs has been set up to
  send mail, you can use the command M-x report-emacs-bug to create and
  send the bug report, but in some cases there is a function to report
  bugs in a specific package; e.g. M-x gnus-bug for Gnus, M-x
  c-submit-bug-report for C/C++/Java mode, etc.
