As the guessing +algorithm is rarely correct these days, and (more controversally) the +only use of the Sender: header was to check if you are entitled to +cancel/supersede news (which is now solved by Cancel Locks instead, +see another entry), generation of the header has been disabled by +default. See the variables `message-required-headers', +`message-required-news-headers', and `message-required-mail-headers'. + +** Features from third party message-utils.el added to message.el. + +Message now asks if you wish to remove "(was: )" from +subject lines (see `message-subject-trailing-was-query').

C-c C-f x inserts appropriate headers and a +note in the body for cross-postings and followups (see the variables +`message-cross-post-*'). + +** References and X-Draft-Headers are no longer generated when you + start composing messages. + +** Improved anti-spam features. + +Gnus is now able to take out spam from your mail and news streams +using a wide variety of programs and filter rules. Among the supported +methods are RBL blocklists, bogofilter and white/blacklists. Hooks +for easy use of external packages such as SpamAssassin and Hashcash +are also new. + +** Easy inclusion of X-Faces headers. + +** In the summary buffer, the new command / N inserts new messages and +/ o inserts old messages. + +** Gnus decodes morse encoded messages if you press W m. + +** Unread count correct in nnimap groups. + +The estimated number of unread articles in the group buffer should now +be correct for nnimap groups. This is achieved by calling +`nnimap-fixup-unread-after-getting-new-news' from the +`gnus-setup-news-hook' (called on startup) and +gnus-after-getting-new-news-hook. (called after getting new mail). If +you have modified those variables from the default, you may want to +add n-f-u-a-g-n-n again. If you were happy with the estimate and want +to save some (minimal) time when getting new mail, remove the +function. + +** Group Carbon Copy (GCC) quoting + +To support groups that contains SPC and other weird characters, groups +are quoted before they are placed in the Gcc: header. This means +variables such as `gnus-message-archive-group' should no longer +contain quote characters to make groups containing SPC work. Also, if +you are using the string "nnml:foo, nnml:bar" (indicating Gcc into two +groups) you must change it to return the list ("nnml:foo" "nnml:bar"), +otherwise the Gcc: line will be quoted incorrectly. Note that +returning the string "nnml:foo, nnml:bar" was incorrect earlier, it +just didn't generate any problems since it was inserted directly. + +** ~/News/overview/ not used. + +As a result of the following change, the ~/News/overview/ directory is +not used any more.
