Also, if you are -using the string `nnml:foo, nnml:bar' (indicating Gcc into two groups) -you must change it to return the list `("nnml:foo" "nnml:bar")', -otherwise the Gcc: line will be quoted incorrectly.

Note that the `R' command +in the article buffer no longer accepts a prefix argument, which was +used to make it do a wide reply. *Note Article Keymap::. -** Message supports the Importance: (RFC 2156) header. +** The new command `C-h b' (`gnus-article-describe-bindings') used in the +article buffer now shows not only the article commands but also the real +summary commands that are accessible from the article buffer. -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. + +* Changes in Message mode -This means a header `Cancel-Lock' is inserted in news posting. It is -used to determine if you wrote an article or not (for canceling and -superseding). Gnus generates a random password string the first time -you post a message, and saves it in your `~/.emacs' using the Custom -system. While the variable is called `canlock-password', it is not -security sensitive data. Publishing your canlock string on the web will -not allow anyone to be able to anything she could not already do. The -behavior can be changed by customizing `message-insert-canlock'. +** Gnus now supports the "hashcash" client puzzle anti-spam mechanism. Use +`(setq message-generate-hashcash t)' to enable. *Note Hashcash::. -** Gnus supports PGP (RFC 1991/2440), PGP/MIME (RFC 2015/3156) and S/MIME -(RFC 2630-2633). +** You can now drag and drop attachments to the Message buffer. See +`mml-dnd-protocol-alist' and `mml-dnd-attach-options'. *Note MIME: +(message)MIME. -It needs an external S/MIME and OpenPGP implementation, but no -additional Lisp libraries. This add several menu items to the -Attachments menu, and `C-c RET' key bindings, when composing messages. -This also obsoletes `gnus-article-hide-pgp-hook'. +** The option `message-yank-empty-prefix' now controls how empty lines are +prefixed in cited text. *Note Insertion Variables: (message)Insertion +Variables. -** MML (Mime compose) prefix changed from `M-m' to `C-c C-m'. +** Gnus uses narrowing to hide headers in Message buffers. The +`References' header is hidden by default. To make all headers visible, +use `(setq message-hidden-headers nil)'. *Note Message Headers: +(message)Message Headers. -This change was made to avoid conflict with the standard binding of -`back-to-indentation', which is also useful in message mode. +** You can highlight different levels of citations like in the article +buffer. See `gnus-message-highlight-citation'. -** The default for `message-forward-show-mml' changed to the symbol `best'. +** `auto-fill-mode' is enabled by default in Message mode. See +`message-fill-column'. *Note Message Headers: (message)Various Message +Variables. -The behavior for the `best' value is to show MML (i.e., convert to MIME) -when appropriate. MML will not be used when forwarding signed or -encrypted messages, as the conversion invalidate the digital signature. +** You can now store signature files in a special directory named +`message-signature-directory'. -** If `auto-compression-mode' is enabled, attachments are automatically -decompressed when activated. +** The option `message-citation-line-format' controls the format of the +"Whomever writes:" line. You need to set +`message-citation-line-function' to +`message-insert-formatted-citation-line' as well. -** Support for non-ASCII domain names + +* Changes in back ends -Message supports non-ASCII domain names in From:, To: and Cc: and will -query you whether to perform encoding when you try to send a message. -The variable `message-use-idna' controls this. Gnus will also decode -non-ASCII domain names in From:, To: and Cc: when you view a message. -The variable `gnus-use-idna' controls this. +** The nntp back end stores article marks in `~/News/marks'. -** You can now drag and drop attachments to the Message buffer. See -`mml-dnd-protocol-alist' and `mml-dnd-attach-options'. *Note MIME: -(message)MIME. +The directory can be changed using the (customizable) variable +`nntp-marks-directory', and marks can be disabled using the (back end) +variable `nntp-marks-is-evil'. The advantage of this is that you can +copy `~/News/marks' (using rsync, scp or whatever) to another Gnus +installation, and it will realize what articles you have read and +marked. The data in `~/News/marks' has priority over the same data in +`~/.newsrc.eld'. +** You can import and export your RSS subscriptions from OPML files. *Note +RSS::. - -* Changes in back ends +** IMAP identity (RFC 2971) is supported. -** Gnus can display RSS newsfeeds as a newsgroup. *Note RSS::. +By default, Gnus does not send any information about itself, but you can +customize it using the variable `nnimap-id'. -** The nndoc back end now supports mailman digests and exim bounces. +** The `nnrss' back end now supports multilingual text. Non-ASCII group +names for the `nnrss' groups are also supported. *Note RSS::. -** Gnus supports Maildir groups. +** Retrieving mail with POP3 is supported over SSL/TLS and with StartTLS. -Gnus includes a new back end `nnmaildir.el'. *Note Maildir::. +** The nnml back end allows other compression programs beside `gzip' for +compressed message files. *Note Mail Spool::. -** The nnml and nnfolder back ends 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 nnml back end supports group compaction. +This feature, accessible via the functions `gnus-group-compact-group' +(`G z' in the group buffer) and `gnus-server-compact-server' (`z' in the +server buffer) renumbers all articles in a group, starting from 1 and +removing gaps. As a consequence, you get a correct total article count +(until messages are deleted again). * Appearance -** The menu bar item (in Group and Summary buffer) named "Misc" has been -renamed to "Gnus". - -** The menu bar item (in Message mode) named "MML" has been renamed to -"Attachments".

When the agent is enabled, headers are -now also retrieved from the Agent cache instead of the back ends when -possible. Earlier this only happened in the unplugged state. You can -enroll or remove servers with `J a' and `J r' in the server buffer. -Gnus will not download articles into the Agent cache, unless you -instruct it to do so, though, by using `J u' or `J s' from the Group -buffer.

For instance, if you change +`nntp-via-address' into `bar.example.com' from `foo.example.com', Gnus +will connect to the news host by way of the intermediate host +`bar.example.com' from next time. -A new command which starts Gnus offline in slave mode. +** The `all.SCORE' file can be edited from the group buffer using `W e'.
