Stop message.el from loading about 40 libraries it doesn't always need. The general approach is to autoload rather than require, and to require in the specific functions rather than the file. (Bug#5642) * url/url.el: Move mailcap require earlier in the file. * gnus/gmm-utils.el: Don't require wid-edit. (widget-create-child-value, widget-convert, widget-default-get): Autoload. * gnus/gnus-util.el: Don't require time-date, netrc. (message-fetch-field, gnus-group-name-decode): Declare rather than autoloading. (gnus-fetch-field): Require message. (gnus-decode-newsgroups): Require gnus-group. * gnus/ietf-drums.el: Don't require time-date. * gnus/message.el: Don't require hashcash, canlock, ecomplete. Do require mail-utils. Require nnheader only when compiling. (smtpmail-default-smtp-server): Remove declaration. (message-send-mail-function): Check smtpmail-default-smtp-server is bound rather than requiring smtpmail. (message-auto-save-directory, message-insert-signature): Use expand-file-name rather than nnheader-concat. (nnheader-insert-file-contents): Autoload. (hashcash-wait-async): Declare. (message-send-mail): Only call gnus-setup-posting-charset if gnus-group-posting-charset-alist is bound. Require hashcash if needed. (message-send-mail-with-sendmail): Require sendmail. (canlock-password, canlock-password-for-verify): Declare. (message-canlock-password): Require canlock. (nnheader-get-report): Autoload. (gnus-setup-posting-charset): Declare. (message-send-news): Require gnus-msg. (message-make-references, message-make-in-reply-to): Use mail-header-id rather than the alias mail-header-message-id. (ecomplete-add-item, ecomplete-save): Declare. (message-put-addresses-in-ecomplete): Require ecomplete. (ecomplete-display-matches): Autoload. * gnus/mm-decode.el: Don't require mailcap, gnus-util. (gnus-map-function, gnus-replace-in-string, gnus-read-shell-command) (message-fetch-field, mailcap-parse-mailcaps, mailcap-mime-info): Autoload. (mailcap-mime-extensions): Declare. * gnus/mm-encode.el: Don't require mailcap. (mailcap-extension-to-mime): Autoload. * gnus/mml-sec.el: Don't require password-cache. * gnus/mml.el (gnus-setup-posting-charset): Declare rather than autoload. (mailcap-parse-mimetypes, mailcap-mime-types): Declare. (mml-minibuffer-read-type): Require mailcap. (mml-preview): Require gnus-msg. * gnus/mml1991.el: Require password-cache. (password-cache-expiry): Remove declaration. * gnus/mml2015.el: Require password-cache. (password-cache-expiry): Remove declaration. * gnus/nneething.el (mailcap): Require mailcap. * gnus/nnheader.el: (declare-function): Add compatibility stub. (message-remove-header): Declare rather than autoload. (nnheader-replace-header): Require message. * gnus/nnimap.el (declare-function): Add compatibility stub. (netrc-parse, netrc-machine-user-or-password): Declare. (nnimap-open-connection): Require netrc. * gnus/nntp.el (declare-function): Add compatibility stub. (netrc-parse, netrc-machine, netrc-get): Declare. (nntp-send-authinfo): Require netrc. * gnus/rfc2047.el: Don't require qp. (quoted-printable-encode-region, quoted-printable-decode-string): Autoload. * gnus/sieve-mode.el: Don't require easymenu. (easy-menu-add-item): Autoload it. * gnus/spam-stat.el (time-to-number-of-days): Autoload it. * password-cache.el (password-cache, password-cache-expiry): Autoload.

If you think you may have found a bug in GNU Emacs, please
read the Bugs section of the Emacs manual for advice on
(1) how to tell when to report a bug, and
(2) how to write a useful bug report and what information
it needs to have.

There are three ways to read the Bugs section.

(1) In a printed copy of the Emacs manual.
You can order one from the Free Software Foundation;
see the file etc/ORDERS.  But if you don't have a copy on
hand and you think you have found a bug, you shouldn't wait
to get a printed manual; you should read the section right away
as described below.

(2) With Info.  Start Emacs, do C-h i to enter Info,
then m Emacs RET to get to the Emacs manual, then m Bugs RET
to get to the section on bugs.  Or use standalone Info in
a like manner.  (Standalone Info is part of the Texinfo distribution,
not part of the Emacs distribution.)

(3) By hand.  Do
    cat info/emacs* | more "+/^File: emacs,  Node: Bugs,"

Please first check the file etc/PROBLEMS (e.g. with C-h C-p in Emacs) to
make sure it isn't a known issue.
