Hi!

Vitals:

(emacs-version)
"SXEmacs: steve@sxemacs.org--2006/sxemacs--main--22.1.4--patch-28, built
Mon Ja\n 23 09:49:34 2006 on arafel"
(gnus-version)
"No Gnus v0.4"

I just got this error message:

Symbol's function definition is void: select-message-coding-system
Sending via mail...

Is there something I've got to set up?

Thanks,
norbert.

Wrong list, I think.  ;-) There is no "select-message-coding-system"
in Gnus' sources.  But there is one in XEmacs:

xemacs-packages/lisp$ grep select-message-coding-system */*.el
mail-lib/sendmail.el:;  (selected-coding (select-message-coding-system))
vm/vm-reply.el:     (fboundp 'select-message-coding-system)
[...]
xemacs-packages/lisp$ rpm -qf mail-lib/sendmail.el
xemacs-packages-el-20050715-3

Bye, Reiner.

You seem to use contrib/smtpmail.el which uses that function.
In Emacs, it is defined in mule-cmds.el but is very
Emacs-specific and is probably hard to implement in XEmacs.  The
function seems to be useful only when text which is not encoded
is passed to smtpmail-send-it.  However, Gnus always encode text
before sending, so I think you may simply void it.

(defalias 'select-message-coding-system 'ignore)

In addition to this, I need to use the following to use that
version of smtpmail.el with XEmacs 21.4.19.

(setq mail-aliases nil)
(defalias 'multibyte-string-p 'ignore)

Ah, you are right.  I removed the directory from the load path.  Hmm,
maybe I should only push it to the end :-)

Thanks for your help,
norbert.

contrib/smtpmail.el is in fact intended for Emacs 21.  But XEmacs also
has (IIRC a quite recent version of) smtpmail.el in it's mail-lib
package.

Do you have Gnus's contrib/ in your load-path?

Ok, it seems adding s???mail.el to contrib/ didn't work well with
XEmacs.  Should have remembered that, I modify it in some ways each
time I import it into XEmacs...

Hm.  Either XEmacs users has to make sure they put Gnus contrib/ after
mail-lib in load-path, or we'll somehow have to revert the
contrib/s???mail.el files.

Or create contrib/emacs vs contrib/xemacs?  I don't like that.

Or someone make fixes these files so they work fine on both emacsen,
so we don't have this problem.

No, please don't fix what ain't broken.  contrib/ should *not* be in
`load-path':

,----[ contrib/README ]

`----

At least `ucs-tables.el' doesn't work at all with XEmacs:

,----[ contrib/ucs-tables.el ]
| (when (featurep 'xemacs)
|   (error "This file cannot be used with XEmacs.[...]"))
`----

Right, problem solved, let's keep the files.
