rfc2047 patch broke Gnus on XEmacsc

[Andreas Jaeger]

I now get with XEmacs 21.4 this error with current CVS:
While compiling toplevel forms in file /home/aj/ELisp/pgnus/lisp/spam.el:
  !! Wrong number of arguments ((#<subr make-char-table> 2))
Compiling /home/aj/ELisp/pgnus/lisp/starttls.el...

Reverting Dave's patch:
2003-05-03  Dave Love  <fx@gnu.org>

        * rfc2047.el (rfc2047-point-at-bol, rfc2047-point-at-eol): New.
        Callers of gnus- versions changed to use them.

fixes the problem.  Dave, can you look into this, please?

I did a:
 cvs up -r 6.41 rfc2047.el

and version 6.41 seems to work fine,
Andreas

There's also a problem with `rfc2047-fold-field' which is undefined,
this patch seems to fix it.

I'm wondering if Dave's changes really apply as "bugfixes only", they
seem pretty intrusive...

It does, please somebody commit :)

Something else broke at least for my GNU Emacs CVS with recent CVS
Gnus:

MIME decoding in the summary buffer seems to be broken. Or Kai changed
his name to =?iso-8859-1?q?Gro=DFjohann?=.  But German authorities are
a bit slow and conservative on that, so I think it's just a Gnus bug.

Cheers, Ray

It's clearly a bug to send badly-encoded messages.  MTAs even bounce
them, which is why I went to the trouble to fix it.  I'm also trying
to get it into a better state for inclusion in Emacs, allow using the
components separately, and merge changes which are in the Emacs
sources.  The mess around Gnus 5.9 shouldn't be repeated.

It also breaks Emacs 20; `with-syntax-table' doesn't exist.

[Vasily Korytov]

Also Dave's last patch broke building on XEmacs (at least, 21.4
non-MULE). A lot of errors like:

While compiling toplevel forms in file
/home/deskpot/src/gnus/lisp/gnus-delay.el:
  !! error (("Unrecognized char table type" syntax-table))

With this errors, half of the files fail to byte-compile.

Dave, please commit bugfixes, not vice versa. =))

I've added a definition, but I don't have Emacs 20.  If it's not right
now, please fix it.

I invoked make and there you don't easily get a backtrace.  I would
have tried to reproduce one if you asked for it ;-)

Yes, it seems to be fixed now.

Thanks,
Andreas
