1 [README for WEMI kernel package (English Version)]
2 by MORIOKA Tomohiko <morioka@jaist.ac.jp>
7 WEMI is a branch of SEMI kernel package using widget. It is a
8 library to provide MIME feature for GNU Emacs based on SEMI API.
9 Namely it contains whole features of SEMI thus it is a replacement
12 MIME is a proposed internet standard for including content and
13 headers other than (ASCII) plain text in messages.
15 RFC 2045 : Internet Message Bodies
16 RFC 2046 : Media Types
17 RFC 2047 : Message Header Extensions
18 RFC 2048 : MIME Registration Procedures
19 RFC 2049 : MIME Conformance
21 WEMI has the following features:
23 - MIME style multilingual header (RFC 2047)
24 - MIME message viewer (mime-view-mode) (RFC 2045 .. 2049)
25 - MIME message composer (mime-edit-mode) (RFC 2045 .. 2049)
27 MIME message viewer and composer also support following features:
29 - filename handling by Content-Disposition field (RFC 1806)
30 - PGP/MIME security Multiparts (RFC 2015)
31 - application/pgp (draft-kazu-pgp-mime-00.txt; obsolete)
32 - text/richtext (RFC 1521; obsolete; preview only)
33 - text/enriched (RFC 1896)
35 Notice that this package does not contain MIME extender for any
36 MUAs and external methods. They are released as separated packages.
42 WEMI supports XEmacs 20.3 or later with mule, and Emacs 20.2.
44 WEMI does not support anything older than Emacs 19.28 or XEmacs
45 19.14. WEMI also does not support Emacs 19.29 to 19.34, XEmacs
46 19.15 or XEmacs 20.2 without mule, but WEMI may work with them.
48 If you use Emacs 20, don't set `enable-multibyte-characters' to
49 nil. (Maybe non mule setting requires to modify emu. In addition,
50 it is better to use terminal-coding-system feature)
52 SEMI requires APEL (8.7 or later) and FLIM package. Please install
53 them before installing it. APEL package is available at:
55 ftp://ftp.jaist.ac.jp/pub/GNU/elisp/apel/
57 and FLIM package is available at:
59 ftp://ftp.jaist.ac.jp/pub/GNU/elisp/flim/
61 PGP/MIME and application/pgp require mailcrypt or tiny-pgp package.
63 The package enriched.el is required to compose text/enriched, so if
64 you use Emacs anything 19.28 or older (including official version of
65 MULE 2.3), WYSIWYG composing for text/enriched is not available.
73 You can specify the emacs command name, for example
75 % make install EMACS=xemacs
77 If `EMACS=...' is omitted, EMACS=emacs is used.
79 You can specify the prefix of the directory tree for Emacs Lisp
80 programs and shell scripts, for example:
82 % make install PREFIX=~/
84 If `PREFIX=...' is omitted, the prefix of the directory tree of the
85 specified emacs command is used (perhaps /usr/local).
87 For example, if PREFIX=/usr/local and EMACS 19.34 is specified, it
88 will create the following directory tree:
90 /usr/local/share/emacs/19.34/site-lisp/ --- emu
91 /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/apel/ --- APEL
92 /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/flim/ --- FLIM
93 /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/semi/ --- SEMI
95 You can specify site-lisp directory, for example
97 % make install LISPDIR=~/share/emacs/lisp
99 If `LISPDIR=...' is omitted, site-lisp directory of the specified
100 emacs command is used (perhaps /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp or
101 /usr/local/lib/xemacs/site-lisp).
103 You can specify other optional settings by editing the file
104 ${archive}/SEMI-CFG. Please read ${archive}/README.en and comments
105 in ${archive}/SEMI-CFG.
113 If you are using Emacs or Mule, please add directory of emu, apel,
114 flim and semi to load-path. If you install by default setting, you
115 can write subdirs.el for example:
117 --------------------------------------------------------------------
118 (normal-top-level-add-to-load-path
119 '("apel" "flim" "semi"))
120 --------------------------------------------------------------------
122 If you are using XEmacs, there are no need of setting about
127 Please insert the following into your ~/.emacs:
