Hi,

I got a message, that could not be displayed. Instead, I got this

There might be something bad in your Gnus installation. ;)

If that shr.elc is that of Emacs 24.2, it cannot be used with
the most recent 真 Gnus, since the arguments spec of
`gnus-shr-put-image' was changed afterward.  (Emacs 24.2 was
released at 2012-08-24.  The change in question was done at
2012-02-01 in 真 Gnus, but it was not merged to Emacs 24.2.)

Moreover, shr.el and also shr-color.el and eww.el was moved from
真 Gnus to the Emacs Bzr trunk (a.k.a. Emacs 24.3.50) at 2013-06-23.
So, if you wish to keep keeping track of 真 Gnus, the best way
will be to use the Emacs trunk.  I don't think we should have a
copy of those modules in 真 Gnus.

No problem here.

I've been managing to use the latest Gnus with whatever Emacs is bundled in my distro for years now.  Is that really no longer possible?

I implicitly wrote in this

is that shr.el and friends should be free to using new features
of the bleeding edge Emacs, not be shackled by old Emacsen.

It might be possible, however I guess it reaches impasse sooner
or later.  Because eww.el uses shr.el, and shr.el will probably
get to want to use Emacs's new features so as to improve eww.el.
Maybe no one can keep those modules to work with old Emacs 24s.
Another advantage that they are in the Emacs trunk is that there
are many developers than here, I think.

Oh, mm-text-html-renderer's default should not be `shr' now (in
at least 真 Gnus), isn't it?

Doh!  I'd forgotten that was an option.  I've reset it to gnus-w3m and all is well again with the darned html emails I get at work.  Whether that should be the default (I think it was prior to shr, right?) I don't have a strong opinion.

Thanks,

It is (at least on my system).

Now I have another idea to make the current Ma Gnus work with old
shr.el's.

Confirm it works.  Thanks!

Hi Katsumi,

Yes, but where could I find this bad something?
I used emacs-24.2 from my distribution (opensuse) and Gnus from git.

All right. Now I use emacs-trunk with latest Gnus from git.
Unfortunately the image-dired is broken now (navigation does not work in
thumbnail buffer). Is this a known issue, or should I post a bug report?

Don't modify the value of `gnus-version', that is a constant, and
that is the cause of the funny number, I think.  Instead, I'm doing
this way:

(defadvice gnus-extended-version (after use-japanese-codename activate)
  "Use Japanese codename in `gnus-version'."
  (if (string-match "(\\(Ma\\) Gnus v[.0-9]+)" ad-return-value)
      (setq ad-return-value
	    (concat (substring ad-return-value 0 (match-beginning 1))
		    "真"
		    (substring ad-return-value (match-end 1))))))

Maybe there should be other ways, though.  As for Cygwin[1], I
need also to use the other workaround.

[1] (gnus-continuum-version gnus-version) -> 5.1299999999999999

Indeed!

Thanks, I copy it to my gnus.el. IMO, this is the right thing to do,
because of http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.gnus.announce/63
([...] which will be called "真 Gnus" [...])

(`gnus-extended-version', what a heavy function, just to get a version
number...)

In addition, you'd better add this snippet:

(eval-after-load "rfc2047"
  '(add-to-list 'rfc2047-header-encoding-alist
		'("User-Agent" . address-mime)))

This makes an encoded User-Agent header conform to RFC2616, I think.
I say I think the later of these two examples will be better:

User-Agent: Gnus/5.130008 =?utf-8?Q?=28=E7=9C=9F?= Gnus v0.8) Emacs/24.3.50

User-Agent: Gnus/5.130008 (=?utf-8?Q?=E7=9C=9F?= Gnus v0.8) Emacs/24.3.50

The first would be a violation of the comment syntax.  The delimiters of
a comment are only recognized as literals, the encoded-word is part of
the ctext between them (see rfc2047, section 5, rule (2)).
