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

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

87 @section Extension to Summary mode
92 In automatic MIME preview support version GNUS, it is the toggle
93 whether to do automatic MIME preview or not. Otherwise it is the
94 toggle for decoding mode of RFC 1522 MIME encoded-word.
96 Enter @code{mime/viewer-mode} to view a message.
99 mime/viewer-mode is a mode to view MIME messages. You can move in a
100 message, or play each contents included in a message.
103 * (tm_en.info)MIME navigation:: Commands of mime/viewer-mode.

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