gnus: Pterodactyl Gnus
11.2.8.5 Pterodactyl Gnus
.........................
New features in Gnus 5.8:
• The mail-fetching functions have changed. See the manual for the
many details. In particular, all procmail fetching variables are
gone.
If you used procmail like in
(setq nnmail-use-procmail t)
(setq nnmail-spool-file 'procmail)
(setq nnmail-procmail-directory "~/mail/incoming/")
(setq nnmail-procmail-suffix "\\.in")
this now has changed to
(setq mail-sources
'((directory :path "~/mail/incoming/"
:suffix ".in")))
Mail Source Specifiers.
• Gnus is now a MIME-capable reader. This affects many parts of
Gnus, and adds a slew of new commands. See the manual for details.
• Gnus has also been multilingualized. This also affects too many
parts of Gnus to summarize here, and adds many new variables.
• ‘gnus-auto-select-first’ can now be a function to be called to
position point.
• The user can now decide which extra headers should be included in
summary buffers and NOV files.
• ‘gnus-article-display-hook’ has been removed. Instead, a number of
variables starting with ‘gnus-treat-’ have been added.
• The Gnus posting styles have been redone again and now works in a
subtly different manner.
• New web-based back ends have been added: ‘nnslashdot’, ‘nnwarchive’
and ‘nnultimate’. nnweb has been revamped, again, to keep up with
ever-changing layouts.
• Gnus can now read IMAP mail via ‘nnimap’.
