NEWS entries

[Jesper Harder <harder@myrealbox.com>]

I took a *very* quick glance through the ChangeLog to look for new
user visible stuff missing in GNUS-NEWS. 

(I'm pretty sure there are many, many other new options and commands,
so it's probably a good idea if other people also looked).

Here are some possible new entries -- please suggest corrections,
better wording (or if you don't think some of them are NEWSworthy)
etc.:


** Dired integration
`gnus-dired-minor-mode' installs key bindings in dired buffers to send
a file as an attachment (`C-c C-a'), open a file using the approriate
mailcap entry (`C-c C-f'), and print a file using the mailcap entry
(`C-c P').  It is enabled with 

      (add-hook 'dired-mode-hook 'turn-on-gnus-dired-mode)

** Gnus can display RSS newsfeeds as a newsgroup.  To get started do `B
nnrss RET RET' in the Group buffer.

** Messages can be printed with the Muttprint program (`O P').

** Single-part yenc encoded attachments can be decoded.

** Picons
Picons are small "personal icons" representing users, domain and
newsgroups, which can be displayed in the Article buffer.  To enable
picons, install the picons database from

     http://www.cs.indiana.edu/picons/ftp/index.html

and point `gnus-picon-databases' to that location.

The picons code has been reimplemented to work in Emacs -- some
options have been removed or renamed.

** If the new option `gnus-treat-body-boundary' is non-nil, a boundary 
line is drawn at the end of the headers.

** Retrieval of charters and control messages
There are new commands for fetching newsgroup charters (`H c') and
control messages (`H C').

** Delayed articles
You can delay the sending of a message with `C-c C-j' in the Message
buffer.  The messages are delivered at specified time.  This is useful
for sending yourself reminders.  Setup with (gnus-delay-initialize).

** If `auto-compression-mode' is enabled, attachments are automatically
decompressed when activated.

** If the new option `nnml-use-compressed-files' is non-nil, 
the nnml back end allows compressed message files.

** Signed article headers (X-PGP-Sig) can be verified with `W p'.

** An arrow is displayed in the fringe to indicate the current article 
Use (setq gnus-summary-display-arrow nil) to disable it.

** Warn about email replies to news
Do you often find yourself replying to news by email by mistake?  Then
the new option `gnus-confirm-mail-reply-to-news' is just the thing for
you.

** If the new option `gnus-summary-display-while-building' is non-nil, 
the summary buffer is shown and updated as it's being built.

** The new `recent' mark "." indicates newly arrived messages (as
opposed to old but unread messages).

** The new option `gnus-gcc-mark-as-read' automatically marks 
Gcc articles as read.

** The nndoc back end now supports mailman digests and exim bounces.

** Gnus supports RFC 2369 mailing list headers, and adds a number of 
related commands in mailing list groups.

** The Date header can be displayed in a format that can be read aloud
in English, see `gnus-treat-date-english'.

** The envelope from can be customized when using Sendmail, see 
`message-sendmail-envelope-from'.

** diffs are automatically highlighted in groups matching
`mm-uu-diff-groups-regexp'
