2 [README for SEMI kernel package (English Version)]
7 SEMI is a library to provide MIME feature for GNU Emacs. MIME is a
8 proposed internet standard for including content and headers other
9 than (ASCII) plain text in messages.
11 RFC 2045 : Internet Message Bodies
12 RFC 2046 : Media Types
13 RFC 2047 : Message Header Extensions
14 RFC 2048 : MIME Registration Procedures
15 RFC 2049 : MIME Conformance
17 SEMI has the following features:
19 - MIME message viewer (mime-view-mode) (RFC 2045 .. 2049)
20 - MIME message composer (mime-edit-mode) (RFC 2045 .. 2049)
22 MIME message viewer and composer also support following features:
24 - filename handling by Content-Disposition field (RFC 1806)
25 - PGP/MIME security Multiparts (RFC 2015)
26 - application/pgp (draft-kazu-pgp-mime-00.txt; obsolete)
27 - text/richtext (RFC 1521; obsolete; preview only)
28 - text/enriched (RFC 1896)
29 - External method configuration by mailcap (RFC 1524)
31 Notice that this package does not contain MIME extender for any
32 MUAs. They are released as separated packages.
38 SEMI supports XEmacs 21.1 or later, and GNU Emacs 20.4 or later.
40 SEMI does not support anything older than GNU Emacs 19.28 or XEmacs
41 19.14. In addition, SEMI does not word with byte-indexing Mule
42 implementations, such as Mule 1, Mule 2 and GNU Emacs 20.1/20.2.
44 SEMI also does not support Emacs 19.29 to 19.34, XEmacs 19.15 or
45 XEmacs 20.2, but SEMI may work with them.
47 SEMI requires APEL (10.7 or later) and FLIM (1.14.2 or later)
48 package. Please install them before installing it. APEL package is
51 http://git.chise.org/elisp/dist/apel/
53 and FLIM package is available at:
55 http://git.chise.org/elisp/dist/flim/flim-1.14/
61 (a) run in expanded place
63 If you don't want to install other directories, please do only
68 You can specify the emacs command name, for example
72 If `EMACS=...' is omitted, EMACS=emacs is used.
76 If you want to install other directories, please do following:
80 You can specify the emacs command name, for example
82 % make install EMACS=xemacs
84 If `EMACS=...' is omitted, EMACS=emacs is used.
86 You can specify the prefix of the directory tree for Emacs Lisp
87 programs and shell scripts, for example:
89 % make install PREFIX=~/
91 If `PREFIX=...' is omitted, the prefix of the directory tree of the
92 specified emacs command is used (perhaps /usr/local).
94 For example, if PREFIX=/usr/local and EMACS 19.34 is specified, it
95 will create the following directory tree:
97 /usr/local/share/emacs/19.34/site-lisp/ --- emu
98 /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/apel/ --- APEL
99 /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/flim/ --- FLIM
100 /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp/semi/ --- SEMI
102 You can specify site-lisp directory, for example
104 % make install LISPDIR=~/share/emacs/lisp
106 If `LISPDIR=...' is omitted, site-lisp directory of the specified
107 emacs command is used (perhaps /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp or
108 /usr/local/lib/xemacs/site-lisp).
110 If the emu modules (included in APEL package) have been installed in
111 the non-standard directory, you should specify where they will be
114 % make install VERSION_SPECIFIC_LISPDIR=~/elisp
116 (c) install as a XEmacs package
118 If you want to install to XEmacs package directory, please do
121 % make install-package
123 You can specify the emacs command name, for example
125 % make install-package XEMACS=xemacs-21
127 If `XEMACS=...' is omitted, XEMACS=xemacs is used.
129 You can specify the package directory, for example:
131 % make install PACKAGEDIR=~/.xemacs
133 If `PACKAGEDIR=...' is omitted, the first existing package
136 Notice that XEmacs package system requires XEmacs 21.0 or later.
140 You can specify other optional settings by editing the file
141 ${archive}/SEMI-CFG. Please read ${archive}/README.en and comments
142 in ${archive}/SEMI-CFG.
150 If you are using Emacs or Mule, please add directory of emu, apel,
151 flim and semi to load-path. If you install by default setting, you
152 can write subdirs.el for example:
154 --------------------------------------------------------------------
155 (normal-top-level-add-to-load-path
156 '("apel" "flim" "semi"))
157 --------------------------------------------------------------------
159 If you are using XEmacs, there are no need of setting about
164 Please insert the following into your ~/.emacs:
