First I used 5.7 from plain debian's emacs-20.7); last week I upgraded to 5.8.7 as you can see. I very much like being in Emacs for hacking and mailing alike (I found mh-e not very usable). While it's nice that 5.8.7 has support for (idiots that send me) mime and other stuff, I'm just a programmer and I'd like all magic turned off by default (like 5.7 had?). Now, howto do that? I've already added ;; AARGH (setq gnus-treat-emphasize nil) (setq gnus-treat-fill-article nil) (setq gnus-treat-overstrike nil) (setq gnus-treat-dumbquotes nil) to my .gnus.el file to turn off some evil (imho) textformatting stuff, but today I found gnus mangling a patch that I sent. First, it apparently did this: diff -urN ../lilypond-1.3.102/CHANGES ./CHANGES --- ../lilypond-1.3.102/CHANGES Wed Nov 1 17:55:44 2000 +++ ./CHANGES Thu Nov 2 15:53:01 2000 @@ -1,3 +1,14 @@ +1.3.102.jcn1 +=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D + After the recipient saved my mail (using X-Mailer: VM 6.76 under Emacs 20.7.1), the mangling seemed to be gone, but he got: ... patching file ./buildscripts/tfm2afm.scm patch: **** malformed patch at line 192: cript_correction]]]]] So, I had to resend it using nmh. Maybe I *should* use attachments, but I don't like that. It would be very helpful if someone could point me to a complete list of magic text mangling options. Thanks Gnus, Greetings, Jan. -- Jan Nieuwenhuizen | GNU LilyPond - The music typesetter http://www.xs4all.nl/~jantien | http://www.lilypond.org
