changeset 47945:3915f2c7691e

(message-posting-charset): defvar when compiling. (ietf-drums, gnus-util): Don't require. (rfc2047-header-encoding-alist): Add `address-mime' part. Doc fixes. (rfc2047-charset-encoding-alist): Use B for iso-8859-7, iso-8859-8. (rfc2047-q-encoding-alist): Augment header list. (rfc2047-encoding-type): New. (rfc2047-dissect-region): Deleted. (rfc2047-encode-region, rfc2047-encode): Rewritten to take account of rfc2047 rules with respect to rfc2822 tokens and to do encoding in place rather than by passing strings. (rfc2047-encode-message-header): Don't include header name field in encoding. Add `address-mime' case and bind rfc2047-encoding-type for `mime' case. (rfc2047-encode-string): Doc fix. (rfc2047-encode): Use longer chunks for base64. (rfc2047-fold-region): Insert single characters, not strings. (rfc2047-encoded-word-regexp): Wrap in eval-and-compile. (rfc2047-decode-region): Avoid consing regexp in loop.
