(shell-command-default-error-buffer): Renamed from shell-command-on-region-default-error-buffer. (shell-command-on-region): Mention in echo area when there is some error output. Mention success or failure, too. Accumulate multiple error outputs going forward, with formfeed in between. Display the error buffer when we have put something in it. (shell-command): Add the ERROR-BUFFER argument feature.

;;; Commentary:

;; The latest version will be at:
;;	ftp://ftp.kyutech.ac.jp/pub/MultiMedia/mime/emacs-mime-tools.shar
;;  [This is probably _not_ the latest version; as of Jan 1999, it
;;  is dated 1995.]

;; Note: Metamail does not have all options which is compatible with
;; the environment variables.  For that reason, matamail.el have to
;; hack the environment variables.  In addition, there is no way to
;; display all header fields without extra informative body messages
;; which are suppressed by "-q" option.

;; The following definition is what I'm using with GNUS 4:
;;(setq gnus-show-mime-method
;;      (function
;;       (lambda ()
;;	   (metamail-interpret-header)
;;	   (let ((metamail-switches	;Suppress header fields in a body.
;;		  (append metamail-switches '("-q"))))
;;	     (metamail-interpret-body)))))

;; The idea of using metamail to process MIME messages is from
;; gnus-mime.el by Spike <[e-mail]>.
