I really > hope Lars takes a similar approach to implementing MIME in pgnus. I used to use rmime.el with VM, back in 1995. But I found it too simple and limitied, so I switched to mh-e which had better itegration with TM. I tried using mew and its integrated MIME support, but I didn't like the handling of the attachments. I gradually moved from using Gnus with nnmh on the same folders I was using MH-E on, and switching between the two, and moved all the way to Gnus in february of 1997, after getting TM to work in a satisfactory manner with Gnus. The fact that TM clashed with the 20.x series of GNU emacs, with MBSK, made me stay with 19.34 until my Solaris box crashed, and I switched to a linux box with 20.2 MBSK. Since that switch, I've been running late qgnus releases, with TM 7.106 on XEmacs 20.4. This combination is something I would be happy with if extension and modification was easier. I haven't dug more deeply into TM, because it is 1. no longer supported (I haven't had the time or inclination to do more than look *ligthly* into SEMI. I couldn't get it to work at my first attempt at installing it, and I knew TM worked, so I dropped it) 2. I'm hoping and waiting for integrated MIME support in Gnus - Steinar
