-1) What's "gnus-offline (Gnus Offline Backend Utility)" ?
-
-This program is a utility to handle messages(mail & news) in "offline"
-status with Semi-gnus in more simple way.
-
-It designed mainly for "gnus-agent".
-
-So, you can use it with function "nnspool" (which needs external
-programs (such as "gnspool")). And also with "Miee.el" (for only
-posting/sending).
-
-;; Of course, you can handle messages in offline status without
-;; "gnus-offline", but using "gnus-offline" provides you a simple way
-;; to setup and operation.
-
-**Features**
-
-o Simple configuration -- An "INTERACTIVE" way to set variables for
- configuration.
-
-o Simple operation -- Only typing "g" on *Groups* buffer, then "dialing ->
- sending mails & posting news articles, and fetch new mails &
- articles -> hang-up line".(For automatic dialing and hang-up, some
- external software needed.)
-
-So, this document is written for using "gnus-agent",mainly for bundled
-with T-gnus 6.10.56 or later.
-
-2)Installation
-
-If you use "gnus-offline" with "T-gnus", installation is very
-simple. It would automatically install with "T-gnus".
-
-If not, you may byte-compile "gnus-offline.el" and "gnus-ofsetup.el",
-and set load-path.
-
-3) How to use
-
-o First, you must set up general configuration for Semi-gnus.(See info)
-
-o Add following code to your ~/.emacs
-
- (load "gnus-ofsetup")
- (gnus-setup-for-offline)
- (load gnus-offline-setting-file)
-
-o Add following code to your ~/.gnus
-
- (gnus-agentize)
-
-o Please restart emacs. Then, gnus-ofsetup.el ask you some questions
- (when you don't know how to answer,see next section of this document
- or type "TAB" key for completion) and then gnus-ofsetup.el will creates
- ~/.gnus-offline.el.
-
-o At first time, you must connect "online" status for subscribe
- group.(See info)
-
-o Add following code to ~/.gnus
-
- (gnus-agent-toggle-plugged nil)
-
-Then restart Gnus and try to type "g" on *Groups" buffer.

-5)[!!!IMPORTANT!!!] About pop password
-
-<<<<< ATTENTION >>>>>
-T-gnus 6.10.56 or later doesn't contain "pop3-fma.el". So if you had
-use T-gnus 6.10.55 or older, and update to 6.10.56 or later, change
-your configuration.(most simple way is deleting old
-~/.gnus-offline.el.)
-
-In T-gnus 6.10.55 or older, you must enter password for pop server per
-accesses.(This way is recommended.)
-
-If your machine is stand alone, and nobody but you use it, you can
-save password in some way.(Of course, it is in your responsibility!)
-
-The first way to save password(it is not save in file but in memory as
-variable), add following code in your ~/.gnus-offline.el.
-
- (setq pop3-fma-save-password-information t)
-
-In this way, you must enter password only at startup of Gnus.
-(In T-gnus 6.10.56 or later, this status is default.)
-
----
-
-The other way (save password in file but not save in memory) is
-following.
-
-o Add following code to ~/.gnus-offline.el
-
- (setq gnus-offline-pop-password-file "~/.pop.passwd")
-
-o In T-gnus 6.10.56 or later, comment out following code in
- ~/.gnus-offline.el.
-
- (require 'read-passwd)
- (setq mail-source-read-passwd 'read-pw-read-passwd)
- (add-hook 'gnus-before-startup-hook 'read-pw-set-mail-source-passwd-cache)
-
-o Create password-file (e.g.~/.pop.passwd)
-
- [T-gnus 6.10.55 or older]
-
- (setq pop3-fma-password
- '(("SERVER1" "ACCOUNT1" "PASSWORD1")
- ("SERVER2" "ACCOUNT2" "PASSWORD2")
- ............................
- ))
-
- [T-gnus 6.10.56 or later]
-
- (setq mail-source-password-cache
- '(("SERVER1:ACCOUNT1:pop3" . "PASSWORD1")
- ("SERVER2:ACCOUNT2:pop3" . "PASSWORD2")
- ............................
- ))
-
-To prevent accidents, encoding this file with Base64 is recommended.
-For this purpose,
- M-: (base64-encode-region (point-min) (point-max))
-can be used.
-
-If you don't need encoding, add following code to ~/.gnus-offline.el.
-
- (setq gnus-offline-pop-password-decoding-function nil)
-
-But it is so dangerous!!
-^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-
-;;; In T-gnus 6.10.57 (or later), gnus-ofsetup.el will ask you whether
-;;; save password to ~/.newsrc.eld or not. When you answer "y" to this
-;;; question, your password might be saved to ~/.newsrc.eld. But in
-;;; this way, be careful to answer "y", because your saved password is
-;;; NOT encoded!(of course, you can use above way to save password.)
+1) What's "gnus-offline (Gnus Offline Backend Utility)" ?\r
+=========================================================\r
+\r
+This program is a utility for Semi-gnus that handles messages\r
+(i.e. mail and news) in the "offline" state in a more simple way.\r
+\r
+It is basically designed for "gnus-agent". (See info about gnus-agent.)\r
+\r
+You can also use it with a function "nnspool"(*1) (which needs an\r
+external program such as "gnspool"(*2) ), or with "miee.el"(*3) for\r
+posting and/or sending messages.\r
+\r
+ (*1) See info about nnspool.\r
+ (*2) gnspool comes with a newsreader "gn".\r
+ (*3) The latest version of miee.el (or MIEE) is available at\r
+ http://www.shiojiri.ne.jp/%7Et-ichi/meadow.html\r
+\r
+You can handle messages in the offline state without "gnus-offline",\r
+but "gnus-offline" provides a simple way for setup and operation.\r
+\r
+**Features**\r
+\r
+o Simple configuration -- An "INTERACTIVE" configuration to set\r
+ the variables.\r
+\r
+o Simple operation -- Type "g" in the *Group* buffer, and gnus-offline \r
+ will:\r
+ o Dial (*)\r
+ o Send mails & post news articles\r
+ o Fetch new mails & articles\r
+ o Hang up (*)\r
+\r
+ (*) For dialing and hanging up, external softwares are needed.\r
+ But you can do without ones if you connect and disconnect\r
+ manually.\r
+\r
+This document is written mainly for the case using "gnus-agent" with\r
+gnus-offline.el bundled in Semi-gnus. (*)\r
+\r
+ (*) T-gnus is based on the latest test version of Gnus. It is\r
+ called Pterodactyl Gnus or pGnus.\r
+ Most versions of Semi-gnus other than T-gnus are based on\r
+ Gnus version 5.6.xx.\r
+ There are a lot of changes between Gnus 5.6.xx and pGnus.\r
+ This document will refer to the differences caused by the\r
+ changes when it is important.\r
+\r
+2) Installation\r
+===============\r
+\r
+As you are reading this document, this version of Semi-gnus includes\r
+gnus-offline. Installation is simple. "make install" will\r
+automatically install "gnus-offline".\r
+\r
+If the Semi-gnus comes without gnus-offline, or you want to install\r
+the latest version of gnus-offline, you may manually byte-compile\r
+"gnus-offline.el" and "gnus-ofsetup.el". Make sure they are in one of\r
+the `load-path' directories. \r
+\r
+3) How to use\r
+=============\r
+\r
+o First, you must do a general setup for Semi-gnus (See info about the \r
+ setup).\r
+\r
+o Add the following code to ~/.emacs\r
+\r
+ (load "gnus-ofsetup")\r
+ (gnus-setup-for-offline)\r
+ (load gnus-offline-setting-file)\r
+\r
+o Add the following code to ~/.gnus\r
+\r
+ (gnus-agentize)\r
+\r
+o Restart Emacs. gnus-ofsetup.el will ask you some questions and\r
+ create ~/.gnus-offline.el. (*)\r
+\r
+ (*) If you don't know how to answer some questions, typing "TAB"\r
+ key may show you the possible answers. See the next section\r
+ which explains the user options.\r
+ You will also be asked whether to save the POP password in\r
+ ~/.newsrc.eld or not. Answer it carefully. See section 6)\r
+ for details.\r
+\r
+o At the first time, you must start Gnus in the "online" state and\r
+ decide which groups to subscribe (See info about subscribing).\r
+\r
+o Add the following code to ~/.gnus\r
+\r
+ (gnus-agent-toggle-plugged nil)\r
+\r
+That's all. Restart Gnus and try typing "g" in the *Group* buffer.\r
+\r
+***Note***\r
+\r
+Most versions of Semi-gnus have pop3-fma.el to operate multiple POP\r
+accounts. T-gnus 6.10.56 or later does not because it can handle\r
+multiple POP accounts itself.\r
+\r
+<<<<<ATTENTION!!>>>>>\r
+T-gnus 6.10.56 or later doesn't contain "pop3-fma.el". If you are\r
+updating to T-gnus 6.10.56 or later, remove the setting for\r

+6) [!!!IMPORTANT!!!] About the pop password\r
+===========================================\r
+\r
+<<<<<ATTENTION!!>>>>>\r
+T-gnus 6.10.56 or later doesn't contain "pop3-fma.el". If you are\r
+updating to T-gnus 6.10.56 or later, remove the setting for\r
+pop3-fma.el (or simply, delete the old ~/.gnus-offline.el).\r
+\r
+Under Semi-gnus with pop3-fma.el, you must enter the password for the\r
+pop server every time you accesses the server. (We recommend you do\r
+it.)\r
+\r
+If your machine is stand alone, and nobody else uses it, you can save\r
+the password in some ways. (But, on your own responsibility!)\r
+\r
+---\r
+\r
+One way is provided by gnus-ofsetup.el. At the first interactive\r
+configuration, it will ask you whether to save the password in\r
+~/.newsrc.eld or not. When you answer "y" to this question, the\r
+password will be saved in ~/.newsrc.eld. (*)\r
+\r
+ (*) Actually the following will be added to ~/.gnus-offline.el.\r
+\r
+ [Semi-gnus with pop3-fma.el]\r
+\r
+ (add-hook 'gnus-setup-news-hook \r
+ (lambda ()\r
+ (add-to-list 'gnus-variable-list 'pop3-fma-password)))\r
+\r

+\r
+ (add-hook 'gnus-setup-news-hook \r
+ (lambda ()\r
+ (add-to-list 'gnus-variable-list 'mail-source-password-cache)))\r
+\r
+Answer this question carefully, because the password will NOT be\r
+encoded!\r
+\r
+---\r
+\r
+There is another way. It will not save the password in a file but keep\r
+it in the memory as a variable.\r
+\r
+For Semi-gnus with pop3-fma.el, add the following code in\r
+~/.gnus-offline.el.\r
+\r
+ (setq pop3-fma-save-password-information t)\r
+\r
+In this way, Once you enter the password at the startup of Gnus, it\r
+will be kept as a variable `pop3-fma-password' until you quit Gnus.\r
+\r
+Under T-gnus 6.10.56 or later, the password will be kept as a variable\r
+`mail-source-password-cache' by default.\r
