-What's SEMI?
+What's EMY?
============
- SEMI is a library to provide MIME feature for GNU Emacs. MIME is a
- proposed internet standard for including content and headers other
- than (ASCII) plain text in messages.
+ EMY is a library to provide MIME feature for GNU Emacs.
+
+ EMY implements SEMI API. You can use MUA conformant to SEMI API
+ without any modification. This package will implements SEMI 1.14
+ API when it is defined. Right now, there's no document defines
+ SEMI 1.13 API. Until SEMI 1.14 API is defined, EMY tries to keep
+ same API as much as possible but something might be changed.
+
+ MIME is a proposed internet standard for including content and
+ headers other than (ASCII) plain text in messages.

- SEMI has the following features:
+ EMY has the following features:
- MIME message viewer (mime-view-mode) (RFC 2045 .. 2049)
- MIME message composer (mime-edit-mode) (RFC 2045 .. 2049)
MIME message viewer and composer also support following features:
- - filename handling by Content-Disposition field (RFC 1806)
- - PGP/MIME security Multiparts (RFC 2015)
- - application/pgp (draft-kazu-pgp-mime-00.txt; obsolete)
+ - filename handling by Content-Disposition field (RFC 2183)
- text/richtext (RFC 1521; obsolete; preview only)
- text/enriched (RFC 1896)
- External method configuration by mailcap (RFC 1524)
Required environment
====================
- SEMI supports XEmacs 20.2 or later with mule, and Emacs 20.
+ EMY supports XEmacs 21.1 or later with mule, and Emacs 20.4 or later.
- SEMI does not support anything older than Emacs 19.28 or XEmacs
- 19.14. SEMI also does not support Emacs 19.29 to 19.34, XEmacs
- 19.15 or XEmacs 20.2 without mule, but SEMI may work with them.
+ EMY does not support any other version. If you write patches to
+ support version, those might be applied. It depends on the
+ cleanliness of the patch.
- SEMI requires APEL (8.17 or later) and FLIM (1.9.2 or later)
+ EMY requires APEL (9.20 or later) and FLIM (1.13.1 or later)
package. Please install them before installing it. APEL package is
available at:
- ftp://ftp.jaist.ac.jp/pub/GNU/elisp/apel/
+ ftp://ftp.m17n.org/pub/mule/apel/
and FLIM package is available at:
- ftp://ftp.jaist.ac.jp/pub/GNU/elisp/flim/
-
- PGP/MIME and application/pgp require mailcrypt or tiny-pgp package.
+ ftp://ftp.m17n.org/pub/mule/flim/flim-1.13/
- The package enriched.el is required to compose text/enriched, so if
- you use Emacs anything 19.28 or older (including official version of
- MULE 2.3), WYSIWYG composing for text/enriched is not available.
+ Note: FLIM is also package name and API name. There's some packges
+ such as FLAM-DOODLE and SLIM which implements FLIM API. EMY
+ does not require any specific implementation.
Installation
============
+(a) run in expanded place
+
+ If you don't want to install other directories, please do only
+ following:
+
+ % make
+
+ You can specify the emacs command name, for example
+
+ % make EMACS=emacs-20.5
+
+ If `EMACS=...' is omitted, EMACS=emacs is used.
+
+(b) make install
+
+ If you want to install other directories, please do following:
+
% make install
You can specify the emacs command name, for example
If `PREFIX=...' is omitted, the prefix of the directory tree of the
specified emacs command is used (perhaps /usr/local).
- For example, if PREFIX=/usr/local and EMACS 19.34 is specified, it
+ For example, if PREFIX=/usr/local and Emacs 20.4 is specified, it
will create the following directory tree:
- /usr/local/share/emacs/19.34/site-lisp/ --- emu
+ /usr/local/share/emacs/20.4/site-lisp/ --- emu
/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/apel/ --- APEL
/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/flim/ --- FLIM
/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/semi/ --- SEMI
emacs command is used (perhaps /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp or
/usr/local/lib/xemacs/site-lisp).
+ If the emu modules (included in APEL package) have been installed in
+ the non-standard directory, you should specify where they will be
+ found, for example:
+
+ % make install VERSION_SPECIFIC_LISPDIR=~/elisp
+
+(c) install as a XEmacs package
+
+ If you want to install to XEmacs package directory, please do
+ following:
+
+ % make install-package
+
+ You can specify the emacs command name, for example
+
+ % make install-package XEMACS=xemacs-21
+
+ If `XEMACS=...' is omitted, XEMACS=xemacs is used.
+
+ You can specify the package directory, for example:
+
+ % make install PACKAGEDIR=~/.xemacs
+
+ If `PACKAGEDIR=...' is omitted, the first existing package
+ directory is used.
+
+ Notice that XEmacs package system requires XEmacs 21.0 or later.
+
+(a,b,c)

You can specify other optional settings by editing the file
${archive}/SEMI-CFG. Please read ${archive}/README.en and comments
in ${archive}/SEMI-CFG.
