31 tm-gnus is a GNUS extender to use tm. It supports GNUS 3.*, GNUS 4.*,
32 (ding) GNUS and GNUS 5.*.
34 tm-gnus extends MIME features to GNUS. tm-gnus decodes RFC 1522 MIME
35 encoded-word in summary buffer and article buffer, and adds a command
36 to preview MIME message using tm-view in summary mode.
38 In GNUS 3.15 or later and Gnus, tm-gnus can display MIME preview
39 buffer instead of article buffer. It is useful for heavy MIME user.
41 Note: September Gnus has some features to support tm-gnus. So it is
42 better choice if you don't dislike alpha version.
45 tm-gnus has following modules:
48 @item @strong{tm-gnus.el}: main module of tm-gnus
49 @item @strong{tm-gnus3.el}: module for GNUS 3.*.
50 @item @strong{tm-gnus4.el}: module for GNUS 4.*, Gnus 5.0 and 5.1
51 @item @strong{tm-gd3.el}: common part for GNUS
52 @item @strong{tm-gd5.el}: common part for Gnus
53 @item @strong{tm-sgnus.el}: module for September Gnus

78 tm-gnus decodes MIME encoded-word in summary buffer using tm-view
79 (@inforef{encoded-word decoding, , tm-eword_en}) functions. However if
80 an encoded-word has unsupported charset, it is not decoded.

85 @section Extension to Summary mode
90 In automatic MIME preview support version GNUS, it is the toggle
91 whether to do automatic MIME preview or not. Otherwise it is the
92 toggle for decoding mode of RFC 1522 MIME encoded-word.
94 Enter @code{mime/viewer-mode} to view a message.
97 mime/viewer-mode is a mode to view MIME messages. You can move in a
98 message, or play each contents included in a message.

108 @cindex automatic MIME preview
110 ``Automatic MIME preview'' feature is available in GNUS 3.15 or later
111 and Gnus. If this feature is available, when reading an article in
112 summary mode, tm-gnus displays preview buffer processed by tm-view
113 instead of raw article buffer.
115 Therefore if an article is encoded by Quoted-Printable or Base64, a
116 decoded article is displayed. In addition, if using tm-rich, rich text
117 article is automatic formated. Of course, multipart article is dealt
120 Different from using metamail, speaker does not roar just then read an
121 article includes audio content, video player does not play just then
122 read an article includes video content, it does not do anonymous ftp
123 or send mail when read an article includes external-message. These
124 contents are played when you do decoding command in preview buffer.
126 However if you use a slow machine, or are just really impatient, you
127 can stop automatic MIME preview.
130 @defvar tm-gnus/automatic-mime-preview
132 If it is t, tm-gnus is in automatic MIME preview mode.
135 In September Gnus, semantics of variable @code{gnus-article-buffer} is
136 changed, its semantics is divided into following two variables.
139 @defvar gnus-article-buffer
141 It indicates the buffer to display. In automatic MIME preview mode, it
142 indicates preview-buffer "*Article*" processed by tm-view.
146 @defvar gnus-original-article-buffer
148 It indicates raw article-buffer " *Original Article*" even if tm-gnus
149 is in automatic MIME preview mode.
151 GNUS and Gnus 5.1 or earlier don't have it, but tm-gnus4 emulate
152 it. In this case, it indicates nil if there is not preview-buffer.
