Instead, a number -of variables starting with `gnus-treat-'. +If you have tried No Gnus (the unstable Gnus branch leading to this +release) but went back to a stable version, be careful when upgrading +to this version. In particular, you will probably want to remove the +`~/News/marks' directory (perhaps selectively), so that flags are +read from your `~/.newsrc.eld' instead of from the stale marks file, +where this release will store flags for nntp. See a later entry for +more information about nntp marks. Note that downgrading isn't safe +in general. +** The nntp back end store article marks in `~/News/marks'. + +The directory can be changed using the (customizable) variable +`nntp-marks-directory', and marks can be disabled using the (backend) +variable `nntp-marks-is-evil'. The advantage of this is that you can +copy `~/News/marks' (using rsync, scp or whatever) to another Gnus +installation, and it will realize what articles you have read and +marked. The data in `~/News/marks' has priority over the same data +in `~/.newsrc.eld'. + +** Picons can be displayed right from the textual address, see +`gnus-picon-style' + +** You can import and export your RSS subscriptions from OPML files. +*Note RSS::. + +** The option `mm-fill-flowed' can be used to disable treatment of +format=flowed messages. Also, flowed text is disabled when sending +inline PGP signed messages. + +** You can now drag and drop attachments to the Message buffer. + +** `/ r' limits the summary buffer to replied articles. + +** ANSI SGR control sequences can be transformed using `W A'. + +ANSI sequences are used in some Chinese hierarchies for highlighting +articles (`gnus-article-treat-ansi-sequences'). + +** Gnus includes an Emacs Lisp SASL library. + +This provide a clean API to SASL mechanisms from within Emacs. The +user visible aspects of this, compared to the earlier situation, +include support for DIGEST-MD5 and NTLM. + +** ManageSieve connections uses the SASL library by default. + +The primary change this brings is support for DIGEST-MD5 and NTLM, +when the server support it. + +** Gnus include a password cache mechanism in password.el. + +It is enabled by default (see `password-cache'), with a short timeout +of 16 seconds (see `password-cache-expiry'). If PGG is used as the +PGP backend, the PGP passphrase is managed by this mechanism. +Passwords for ManageSieve connections are managed by this mechanism, +after quering the user about whether to do so. + +** IMAP identity (RFC 2971) is supported. + +By default, Gnus do not send any information about itself, but you can +customize it using the variable `nnimap-id'. + +** The `all.SCORE' file can be edited from the group buffer using `W e'. + +** Gnus now MIME decode articles even when they lack "MIME-Version" +header. This changes the default of `gnus-article-loose-mime'. + +** Gnus now view DNS master files sent as text/dns using dns-mode. + +** Gnus now support the "hashcash" client puzzle anti-spam idea. See +the Gnus manual, section Hashcash, for more information. Use (setq +message-generate-hashcash t) to enable. + + +* For older news, see Gnus info node "New Features". + +---------------------------------------------------------------------- +Copyright information: + +Copyright (C) 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004 Free Software Foundation, Inc. + + Permission is granted to anyone to make or distribute verbatim copies + of this document as received, in any medium, provided that the + copyright notice and this permission notice are preserved, + thus giving the recipient permission to redistribute in turn. + + Permission is granted to distribute modified versions + of this document, or of portions of it, + under the above conditions, provided also that they + carry prominent notices stating who last changed them. + +Local variables: +mode: outline +paragraph-separate: "[ ]*$" +end:
