1 The files in this directory are not (yet) part of the Gnus
2 distribution proper. They may later become part of the distribution,
3 or they may disappear altogether.
5 Please note that it is not good to just add this directory to
6 load-path: a number of files in this directory will become part of
7 more recent Emacs versions, so that you might be running obsolete
8 libraries with all kinds of ill effects.
10 The suggested method for installation is to copy those files that you
11 need to a directory which is in load-path.
13 Here is an overview of the files:
17 Provides the ELisp-based uncompface program. It is excellent
18 and practical (actually you can replace lisp/compface.el with
19 it), however the author is missing and the copyright has not
24 This file defines the command to search mails and persistent
25 articles with Namazu, which is a full-text search engine
26 distributed at http://namazu.org, and to browse its results
29 Please note, this file has already been incorporated into the
30 lisp directory in T-gnus.
39 Interface to various full-text search engines. Provides less
40 functionality than gnus-namazu.el, but also supports programs
41 other than Namazu. Current implementation is restricted to
42 nnml folders, but could be extended for other backends.
48 Obsolete interface to OpenSSL. Completely replaced by
49 lisp/tls.el, which supports both GnuTLS and OpenSSL. This
50 file will be removed eventually.
54 This file provides improved Unicode functionality. It defines
55 functions unify-8859-on-encoding-mode and
56 unify-8859-on-decoding-mode which unify the Latin-N charsets.
57 Without unify-8859-on-encoding-mode, composing a Latin-9 reply
58 to a Latin-1 posting, say, will produce a multipart posting (a
59 Latin-1 part and a Latin-9 part), or perhaps UTF-8. With
60 unify-8859-on-encoding-mode, the outgoing posting can be all
61 Latin-1 or all Latin-9 in most cases.
63 It is harmless to turn on unify-8859-on-encoding-mode, but
64 unify-8859-on-decoding-mode may unexpectedly change files in
65 certain situations. (If the file contains different Latin-N
66 charsets which should not be unified.)
68 This is part of Emacs 21.3 and later, which also turns on
69 unify-8859-on-encoding-mode by default.
75 This is used for parsing RSS feeds. Part of Emacs 21.3 and
