[Phil Humpherys]

I installed tm, and I read through the .info (was somewhat
brief), and am still clueless how to send mime attachments in
email using gnus.  I can see attachments just fine...  in fact, I
didn't need tm for that as gnus appears to do that itself.  Is
there a HOWTO somewhere for tm?  How do you send an attachment,
and what are the important lines for .emacs?

I'm using TM (7.108) under XEmacs, and during message composition,
there is a menu bar item available, MIME Edit.  That menu will show
you what you can include; if you insert a file (kbd equivalent, `C-c
C-x TAB'), it will ask you how to encode the file if it's binary
(default, base64).

No extra .emacs stuff needed, other than the (load "mime-setup") you
must already have in place.

Okay, major progress.  I put (load "mime-setup") in my .emacs
file, and sent a small .gif to myself, successfully using C-c C-x
TAB to insert the file.  But when the email message was
delivered, and I tried to enter the summary buffer, I got the
follow error message in the mini-buffer below:

Invalid coding system: ctext      

I had to kill emacs, comment out the (load "mime-setup") in order
to read the file, which I was then able to do no problem.  So,
currently I have to manually modify .emacs to insert attachments,
and modify it again to read them.  I'm missing something...

Ah.  I grabbed the source for emacs 20.3, and recompiled
everything...  gnus, tm, the works.  I am now doing mime
effortlessly, thanks for your help.  

Now if I can get mailcrypt working...

TM doesn't work with 20.2 MBSK, because it assumes that GNU Emacs with 
major version > 19 always has MIME, and I was unable to make it belive 
otherwise.

Your approaches are:
 - start using XEmacs 20.4 (what I did for mail and news.  I use 20.2
   for everything else)
 - go back to GNU Emacs 19.34
 - upgrade to 20.3 and live with MULE (which I haven't tested)

Is there something wrong with the recipe to which I've previously
pointed here?

For TM I think you need something like the MBSK recipe in unibyte
mode.

 - use RMIME (probably only unibyte but works fine, especially with
   some minor hacking for comfort).
