Problems with pgnus-0.83

Problems with pgnus-0.83

[Stefanie Teufel]

Huhu everybody,

after switching to 0.83 from 0.80 I get the following error:

Error in ~/.gnus: (void-variable mm-alternative-precedence)

But I saw the following in the changelog:


	* mm-decode.el (mm-alternative-precedence): Removed.
	(mm-discouraged-alternatives): New variable.
	(mm-preferred-alternative-precedence): New function.

I guess something is wrong in my setup. I have a "require 'mm" in my
.Gnus.el?

TIA,

Stefanie

This line tells you that the variable no longer exists or, for them
hackers, is void .... you know, like in chaos :-)

Try this variable instead.

Cheers, norbert.

If you tell us what you are trying to achieve with
`mm-alternative-precedence', we might be able to help you convert.

Nothing at all. I never called that "mm-alternative-precedence"-thing.
Ummm, perhaps through (require 'mm). So where is the problem? I have no
idea where this function is called or comes from?

Okay, I'm an idiot. What I tried to achieve was the following:

(eval-after-load "mm-decode"
  '(progn
        ;; Do not prefer html
    (nconc (delete "text/html" mm-alternative-precedence) (list
    "text/html"))
        ;; Always inline rfc-822
    (nconc mm-attachment-override-types '("message/rfc-822"))))
