Besides the new mail source stuff, is there anything I should be updating in my init files? Do I have to turn Mime on? (I didn't use any MIME packages like tm in the past.) Do I have to set a language environment? Should I run emacs with --unibyte or not? I mostly use English and don't understand much about Mule. I did install the intlfonts package. What's a good font(set) to use for emacs? Here are the oddities I've noticed so far: 1) I run ispell from my message-send-hook, and it gave an error message: Ispell misalignment: word `JSa' point 266; probably incompatible versions locate-library shows that this is the ispell.el that comes with 20.4. Our ispell binary is 3.1.20 which I installed just 7 months ago. I guess this is unlikely to be a Gnus problem. 2) I set message-send-hook to nil and tried again. After `C-c C-c' I got an error: "Can't encode a part with several charsets." Isn't Gnus supposed to break the message into parts automatically? [And is there an easier way to send a message without invoking message-send-hook?] 3) When I start gnus, all my groups on levels 4 and 5 show up in the group buffer. These are my nnfolder groups which new mail never gets split to. gnus-activate-level is 3. If I `M-g' on one of these, and then hit `l', the group disappears (as it should). Similarly, `5 g' makes them go away, but this takes a long time because there are lots of them. (This is why I have gnus-activate-level set to 3) This didn't happen with 19.34 and 5.6.43.
