8 SEMI is a library to provide MIME feature for GNU Emacs. It stands
9 for "SEMI is Emacs MIME Interfaces". MIME is a proposed internet
10 standard for including content and headers other than (ASCII) plain
13 RFC 2045 : Internet Message Bodies
14 RFC 2046 : Media Types
15 RFC 2047 : Message Header Extensions
16 RFC 2048 : MIME Registration Procedures
17 RFC 2049 : MIME Conformance
19 SEMI has the following features:
21 - MIME style multilingual header (RFC 2047)
22 - MIME message viewer (mime-view-mode) (RFC 2045 .. 2049)
23 - MIME message composer (mime-edit-mode) (RFC 2045 .. 2049)
25 MIME message viewer and composer also support following features:
27 - filename handling by Content-Disposition field (RFC 1806)
28 - PGP/MIME security Multiparts (RFC 2015)
29 - application/pgp (draft-kazu-pgp-mime-00.txt; obsolete)
30 - text/richtext (RFC 1521; obsolete; preview only)
31 - text/enriched (RFC 1896)
33 Notice that this package does not contain MIME extender for any
34 MUAs and external methods. They are released as separated packages.
40 SEMI supports XEmacs 20.1 or later with mule, and Emacs/mule (mule
41 merged EMACS; it will become Emacs 20.0).
43 SEMI does not support EMACS 19.28 or later, XEmacs 19.14 or later,
44 XEmacs 20.1 or later without mule, but SEMI may work with them.
46 If you use beta versions of XEmacs 20.1, please use the latest
47 version and compile with mule support, i.e. use the configure flag
50 If you use EMACS/mule, please use the latest version (GNU MULE
51 19.34.91-delta or later).
53 SEMI requires APEL and MEL package. Please install them before
54 installing it. APEL package
57 ftp://ftp.jaist.ac.jp/pub/GNU/elisp/apel/
59 and MEL package is available at:
61 ftp://ftp.jaist.ac.jp/pub/GNU/elisp/mime/libs/
63 PGP/MIME and application/pgp require mailcrypt or tiny-pgp package.
65 The package enriched.el is required to compose text/enriched, so if
66 you use Emacs anything 19.28 or older (including official version of
67 MULE 2.3), WYSIWYG composing for text/enriched is not available.
75 You can specify the emacs command name, for example
77 % make install EMACS=xemacs
79 If `EMACS=...' is omitted, EMACS=emacs is used.
81 You can specify the prefix of the directory tree for Emacs Lisp
82 programs and shell scripts, for example:
84 % make install PREFIX=~/
86 If `PREFIX=...' is omitted, the prefix of the directory tree of the
87 specified emacs command is used (perhaps /usr/local).
89 For example, if PREFIX=/usr/local and EMACS 19.34 is specified, it
90 will create the following directory tree:
92 /usr/local/share/emacs/19.34/site-lisp/ --- emu
93 /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/apel/ --- APEL
94 /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/bitmap/ --- BITMAP-MULE
95 /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/mu/ --- MU
96 /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/mel/ --- MEL
97 /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/semi/ --- SEMI
99 You can specify other optional settings by editing the file
100 semi/SEMI-CFG. Please read semi/README.en and comments in
109 If you are using Emacs or Mule, please add directory of emu, apel,
110 bitmap, mu, mel and semi to load-path. If you install by default
111 setting, you can write subdirs.el for example:
113 --------------------------------------------------------------------
114 (normal-top-level-add-to-load-path
115 '("apel" "bitmap" "mu" "mel" "semi"))
116 --------------------------------------------------------------------
118 If you are using XEmacs, there are no need of setting about
