September Gnus v0.93 is released

September Gnus v0.93 is released

[Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen]

Tiny but annoying bug finally fixed. 

The etc package has also been slightly updated (again); fetch it from
<URL:http://www.ifi.uio.no/~larsi/etc.tar.gz>.

I expect to be releasing Gnus 5.2 this weekend.  If you're seeing any
kind of bug, big or small, now is the time to send me a bug report
with `M-x gnus-bug'.

Get it from <URL:http://www.ifi.uio.no/~larsi/sgnus.tar.gz> or 
"ftp.ifi.uio.no:/pub/emacs/gnus/".

ChangeLog since last release:

Thu May 23 23:32:43 1996  Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen  <larsi@hler.ifi.uio.no>

	* nnbabyl.el (nnbabyl-read-mbox): Would bogously increase the
 	number in groups.

I will send it here instead. To get 0.93 to run in XEmacs I had to do
the following:

I sent a bug report to the gnus-bugs list about article sorting not
working. I still see this. Anybody else??

When I enter a group and do a C-c C-s C-d (ie sort by date) I get all
articles in a not very date sorted order. It worked in 0.82, so it must
have stopped working between 0.82 and 0.91.

Hi, 

In order to make it working with xemacs-19.13, I  also had to put back
the following in gnu-xmas.el :

I liked the Blue Gnu better than the Yellow Gnu, but I suppose that is
something that could be debated without resolution indefinitely.

Signature hiding and MIME is terminally broken.  If no valid signature
is found, the entire article is hidden -- not very useful (never mind
if this is fixed in v0.94).

Why are the calls to easy-menu-add in mailcrypt overriding the other
menus?  All I see in message mode is the mailcrypt menu.

The past two days I've been mailbombed by the linux-kernel mailing
list (~1300 messages over the last 40 hours, representing about two
weeks of old traffic), Gnus has dealt with this situation quite
gracefully.

Hmm, I don't understand. I see a Message menu in addition to the
Mailcrypt menu. You don't?

These next comments aren't really bug fixes, so shouldn't hold up the
release of Gnus-5.2; perhaps it could go under the TODO list,
though...
  
   I think the message menu should have a spellcheck entry. 

   The message toolbar could be expanded to include more of the menu
   entries, too -- I only see a spellcheck and help button right
   now. Pretty minimal.

   The help button pops up a new frame and puts me in info-mode, but
   it doesn't delete the frame when I quit info, so I wind up with two
   frames displaying the same mail message buffer. I think it should
   delete the frame after quitting info.

The uu-decode and uu-post pixmaps don't substitute a background
toolbar color if defined, like the other pixmaps do. Appended is a
patch.

I just had a way-kewl idea to color-code the releases.  September has
autumny colors, and Red Gnus will have (*yes*) a red logo.  And so on.

This is probably fixed in 0.94.

Hm.  I get both Message and Mailcryps menus...

There is a spellcheck entry under the Edit menu...

Yup.  I think Luis is working on it.

That button isn't really bound to anything useful.  Just ignore it for
now.

Thanks for the patch.

LMI> There is a spellcheck entry under the Edit menu...

It would make more sense to move it away from the Edit menu and over
to the Message menu.  It is not really useful in other modes than the
various message compose modes.

Perhaps you could submit a patch when sgnus get bundled with Emacs.

	I don't know if this is a Gnus bug or not, but I've noticed
that when my Emacs frame is split horizontally, long lines (like
Received: headers) don't wrap, but they do when the frame is only
split vertically.  I'm guessing that this is an Emacs issue, but does
anyone know of a way to get the lines to wrap when the frame is split
horizontally?

Hm, I easily get confused with `horizontal' and `vertical', but I
think looking at the following variable might help?

,-----
| truncate-partial-width-windows's value is t

| Documentation:
