** Gnus changes. *** The Gnus alpha distribution no longer bundles Custom and Widget. If your Emacs doesn't come with these libraries, fetch them from . You also then need to add the following to the lisp/dgnushack.el file: (push "~/lisp/custom" load-path) Modify to suit your needs. *** New functionality for using Gnus as an offline newsreader has been added. A plethora of new commands and modes have been added. See the Gnus manual for the full story. *** The nndraft backend has returned, but works differently than before. All Message buffers are now also articles in the nndraft group, which is created automatically. *** `gnus-alter-header-function' can now be used to alter header values. *** `gnus-summary-goto-article' now accept Message-ID's. *** A new Message command for deleting text in the body of a message outside the region: `C-c C-v'. *** You can now post to component group in nnvirtual groups with `C-u C-c C-c'. *** `nntp-rlogin-program' -- new variable to ease customization. *** `C-u C-c C-c' in `gnus-article-edit-mode' will now inhibit re-highlighting of the article buffer. *** New element in `gnus-boring-article-headers' -- `long-to'. *** `M-i' symbolic prefix command. See the section "Symbolic Prefixes" in the Gnus manual for details. *** `L' and `I' in the summary buffer now take the symbolic prefix `a' to add the score rule to the "all.SCORE" file. *** `gnus-simplify-subject-functions' variable to allow greater control over simplification.
