11 ** gnus-group-charset-alist and gnus-group-ignored-charsets-alist
13 The regexps in these variables are compared with full group names
14 instead of real group names in 5.8. Users who customize these
15 variables should change those regexps accordingly. For example:
17 ("^han\\>" euc-kr) -> ("\\(^\\|:\\)han\\>" euc-kr)
19 ** Gnus now supports PGP-MIME (RFC2015) and SMIME.
21 ** Gnus inlines external parts (message/external).
23 ** MML (Mime compose) prefix changed from `M-m' to `C-c C-m'.
25 This change was made to avoid conflict with the standard binding of
26 `back-to-indentation', which is also useful in message mode.
29 * Changes in Pterodactyl Gnus (5.8/5.9)
31 The Gnus NEWS entries are short, but they reflect sweeping changes in
32 four areas: Article display treatment, MIME treatment,
33 internationalization and mail-fetching.
35 ** The mail-fetching functions have changed. See the manual for the
36 many details. In particular, all procmail fetching variables are gone.
38 If you used procmail like in
40 (setq nnmail-use-procmail t)
41 (setq nnmail-spool-file 'procmail)
42 (setq nnmail-procmail-directory "~/mail/incoming/")
43 (setq nnmail-procmail-suffix "\\.in")
45 this now has changed to
48 '((directory :path "~/mail/incoming/"
51 More information is available in the info doc at Select Methods ->
52 Getting Mail -> Mail Sources
54 ** Gnus is now a MIME-capable reader. This affects many parts of
55 Gnus, and adds a slew of new commands. See the manual for details.
57 ** Gnus has also been multilingualized. This also affects too
58 many parts of Gnus to summarize here, and adds many new variables.
60 ** gnus-auto-select-first can now be a function to be
61 called to position point.
63 ** The user can now decide which extra headers should be included in
64 summary buffers and NOV files.
66 ** `gnus-article-display-hook' has been removed. Instead, a number
67 of variables starting with `gnus-treat-' have been added.
69 ** The Gnus posting styles have been redone again and now works in a
70 subtly different manner.
72 ** New web-based backends have been added: nnslashdot, nnwarchive
73 and nnultimate. nnweb has been revamped, again, to keep up with
74 ever-changing layouts.
76 ** Gnus can now read IMAP mail via nnimap.
