Ted? >> (2) deleted: assistant.el > Please don't delete assistant.el. Ok, I will leave both in for the time being. Maybe encrypt.el should be removed later though. As best I can figure from the discussion on emacs-devel (the threads seem all over the place): * There's some interest in assistant.el, but it hasn't been developed enough yet. It's the sort of feature Gnus could really use (because of the complexity of configuring Gnus), but nobody is actually doing anything about it... * It seems unlikely encrypt.el is going to go into Emacs. The merge from Emacs changes netrc.el to not use encrypt.el, so leaving it in Gnus seems a bit pointless (the changes to netrc.el could be reverted in Gnus, but I'd rather avoid diverging sources when possible). -Miles -- It wasn't the Exxon Valdez captain's driving that caused the Alaskan oil spill.
