annotate lisp/format-spec.el @ 110422:93e093c035a0

Merge changes made in Gnus trunk. nnimap.el (nnimap-request-group): Use the stored info for the dont-check case. nnimap.el: Use deffoo instead of defun for interface functions. gnus-int.el (gnus-request-group): Take an optional `info' parameter. nnimap.el: Allow nnimap-request-group to do a complete marks sync on `M-g'. nnimap.el: Get credentials for numerical equivalents of the port numbers. gnus-html.el (gnus-html-wash-tags): Add support for i, b and u HTML tags. nnimap.el (nnimap-update-info): Extend the info so that we can set the marks. nnimap.el (nnimap-open-connection): Fix typo -- should be 'shell, not 'stream. nnimap.el: Allow PREAUTH nnimap connections to log in without credentials. nnimap.el (nnimap-update-info): Fix off-by-one error when concatenating ranges when doing a partial update. gnus-html.el (gnus-html-schedule-image-fetching): Use `url' rather than curl to retrieve images. nnimap.el (nnimap-update-info): When doing partial marks update, get the range update right. nnimap.el (nnimap-wait-for-response): Be a bit more lax in finding the end of the command we're looking for. nnimap.el: Allow sending \n instead of \r\n on 'shell streams. gnus-html.el (gnus-html-schedule-image-fetching): Fetch all images in parallel.
