34 tm-gnus is a GNUS extender to use tm. It supports GNUS 3.*, GNUS 4.*,
35 (ding) GNUS and GNUS 5.*.
37 tm-gnus extends MIME features to GNUS. tm-gnus decodes RFC 1522 MIME
38 encoded-word in summary buffer and article buffer, and adds a command
39 to preview MIME message using tm-view in summary mode.
41 In GNUS 3.15 or later and Gnus, tm-gnus can display MIME preview
42 buffer instead of article buffer. It is useful for heavy MIME user.
44 Note: September Gnus has some features to support tm-gnus. So it is
45 better choice if you don't dislike alpha version.
48 tm-gnus has following modules:
51 @item @strong{tm-gnus.el}: main module of tm-gnus
52 @item @strong{tm-gnus3.el}: module for GNUS 3.*.
53 @item @strong{tm-gnus4.el}: module for GNUS 4.*, Gnus 5.0 and 5.1
54 @item @strong{tm-gd3.el}: common part for GNUS
55 @item @strong{tm-gd5.el}: common part for Gnus
56 @item @strong{tm-sgnus.el}: module for September Gnus

81 tm-gnus decodes MIME encoded-word in summary buffer using tm-view
82 (@inforef{encoded-word decoding, , tm-eword_en}) functions. However if
83 an encoded-word has unsupported charset, it is not decoded.

88 @section Extension to Summary mode
93 In automatic MIME preview support version GNUS, it is the toggle
94 whether to do automatic MIME preview or not. Otherwise it is the
95 toggle for decoding mode of RFC 1522 MIME encoded-word.
97 Enter @code{mime/viewer-mode} to view a message.
100 mime/viewer-mode is a mode to view MIME messages. You can move in a
101 message, or play each contents included in a message.
104 * (tm_en.info)MIME navigation:: Commands of mime/viewer-mode.

111 @cindex automatic MIME preview
113 ``Automatic MIME preview'' feature is available in GNUS 3.15 or later
114 and Gnus. If this feature is available, when reading an article in
115 summary mode, tm-gnus displays preview buffer processed by tm-view
116 instead of raw article buffer.
118 Therefore if an article is encoded by Quoted-Printable or Base64, a
119 decoded article is displayed. In addition, if using tm-rich, rich text
120 article is automatic formated. Of course, multipart article is dealt
123 Different from using metamail, speaker does not roar just then read an
124 article includes audio content, video player does not play just then
125 read an article includes video content, it does not do anonymous ftp
126 or send mail when read an article includes external-message. These
127 contents are played when you do decoding command in preview buffer.
129 However if you use a slow machine, or are just really impatient, you
130 can stop automatic MIME preview.
133 @defvar tm-gnus/automatic-mime-preview
135 If it is t, tm-gnus is in automatic MIME preview mode.
138 In September Gnus, semantics of variable @code{gnus-article-buffer} is
139 changed, its semantics is divided into following two variables.
142 @defvar gnus-article-buffer
144 It indicates the buffer to display. In automatic MIME preview mode, it
145 indicates preview-buffer "*Article*" processed by tm-view.
149 @defvar gnus-original-article-buffer
151 It indicates raw article-buffer " *Original Article*" even if tm-gnus
152 is in automatic MIME preview mode.
154 GNUS and Gnus 5.1 or earlier don't have it, but tm-gnus4 emulate
155 it. In this case, it indicates nil if there is not preview-buffer.
