This package contains T-gnus 6.15.

What is T-gnus?
===============

  T-gnus is a replacement of Gnus with gnus-mime for SEMI.  It has all
features of Gnus and gnus-mime, so there are no need to install Gnus
to use it, and you must not use gnus-mime for SEMI.

  It requires APEL, FLIM and SEMI packages, so please get and install
them before to install it.  T-gnus 6.15 requires APEL 10.0 or later,
FLIM (1.13.1 or later) and SEMI/WEMI (1.13.5 or later).  You can get
these packages from:

ftp://ftp.m17n.org/pub/mule/apel/
ftp://ftp.m17n.org/pub/mule/flim/flim-1.13/
ftp://ftp.m17n.org/pub/mule/semi/semi-1.13-for-flim-1.13/

Required environment for SEMI is written in README.en of SEMI package.

  In addition, if you wish to use the web based backend `nnshimbun',
you have to install the package Emacs-W3M and the external command W3M.
