If you customized those, perhaps you need add +those two headers too. + +** Gnus reads the NOV and articles in the Agent if plugged. + +If one reads an article while plugged, and the article already exists +in the Agent, it won't get downloaded once more. (setq +gnus-agent-cache nil) reverts to the old behavior. + +** Gnus supports the "format=flowed" (RFC 2646) parameter. + +On composing messages, it is enabled by `use-hard-newlines'. Decoding +format=flowed was present but not documented in earlier versions. + +** Gnus supports the generation of RFC 2298 Disposition Notification requests. + +This is invoked with the C-c M-n key binding from message mode. + +** Gnus supports Maildir groups. + +Gnus includes a new backend nnmaildir.el. + +** Printing capabilities are enhanced. + +Gnus supports Muttprint natively with O P from the Summary and Article +buffers. Also, each individual MIME part can be printed using p on +the MIME button. + +** Message supports the Importance: header. + +In the message buffer, C-c C-f C-i or C-c C-u cycles through the valid +values. + +** Gnus supports Cancel Locks in News. + +This means a header "Cancel-Lock" is inserted in news posting. It is +used to determine if you wrote a article or not (for +cancelling/superseding). The behaviour can be changed by customizing +`message-insert-canlock'. + +** Gnus supports server-side mail filtering using Sieve. + +Sieve rules can be added as Group Parameters for groups, and the +complete Sieve script is generated using `D g' from the Group buffer, +and then uploaded to the server using `C-c C-l' in the generated Sieve +buffer. Search the online Gnus manual for "sieve", and see the new +Sieve manual, for more information. + +** Extended format specs. + +Format spec "%&user-date;" is added into +gnus-summary-line-format-alist. Also, user defined extended format +specs are supported. The extended format specs look like "%u&foo;", +which invokes function gnus-user-format-function-foo. Because "&" is +used as the escape character, old user defined format "%u&" is no +longer supported. + +** `/ *' (gnus-summary-limit-include-cached) is rewritten. + +It was aliased to `Y c' (gnus-summary-insert-cached-articles). The new +function filters out other articles. + +** Group names are treated as UTF-8 by default. + +This is supposedly what USEFOR wants to migrate to. See +`gnus-group-name-charset-group-alist' and +`gnus-group-name-charset-method-alist' for customization. + +** The nnml and nnfolder backends store marks for each groups. + +This makes it possible to take backup of nnml/nnfolder servers/groups +separately of .newsrc.eld, while preserving marks. It also makes it +possible to share articles and marks between users (without sharing +the .newsrc.eld file) within e.g. a department. It works by storing +the marks stored in .newsrc.eld in a per-group file ".marks" (for +nnml) and "groupname.mrk" (for nnfolder, named "groupname"). If the +nnml/nnfolder is moved to another machine, Gnus will automatically use +the .marks or .mrk file instead of the information in .newsrc.eld. +The new server variables `nnml-marks-is-evil' and +`nnfolder-marks-is-evil' can be used to disable this feature. + +** The menu bar (in Group and Summary buffer) named "Misc" has been +renamed to "Gnus". + +** The menu bar (in Message mode) named "MML" has been renamed to +"Attachments". + +** gnus-group-charset-alist and gnus-group-ignored-charsets-alist. + +The regexps in these variables are compared with full group names +instead of real group names in 5.8. Users who customize these +variables should change those regexps accordingly. For example: + + ("^han\\>" euc-kr) -> ("\\(^\\|:\\)han\\>" euc-kr) + +** Gnus supports PGP (RFC 1991/2440), PGP-MIME (RFC 2015/3156) and +SMIME. + +** Gnus inlines external parts (message/external). + +** MML (Mime compose) prefix changed from `M-m' to `C-c C-m'. + +This change was made to avoid conflict with the standard binding of +`back-to-indentation', which is also useful in message mode. + + +* Changes in Pterodactyl Gnus (5.8/5.9) The Gnus NEWS entries are short, but they reflect sweeping changes in four areas: Article display treatment, MIME treatment, internationalization and mail-fetching. -*** The mail-fetching functions have changed.
