Here is an overview of the files:
-base64.el
+compface.el
- As of Emacs 21, base64 encoding and decoding is available
- natively. So this file appears to be needed for Emacs 20
- only.
+ Provides the ELisp-based uncompface program. It is excellent and
+ practical (actually you can replace lisp/compface.el with it), however
+ the author is missing and the copyright has not been assigned yet.
-gpg-ring.el
-gpg.el
+gnus-namazu.el
-hashcash.el
+ This file defines the command to search mails and persistent articles
+ with Namazu, which is a full-text search engine distributed at
+ <http://namazu.org>, and to browse its results with Gnus.
-md5.el
+gnus-kill-to-score.el
- MD5 encoding is part of Emacs as of Emacs 21.2. Hence, this
- file is not needed for those Emacs versions.
-
-one-line-cookie.diff
-
-ssl.el
-
-ucs-tables.el
-
- This file provides improved Unicode functionality. It defines
- functions unify-8859-on-encoding-mode and
- unify-8859-on-decoding-mode which unify the Latin-N charsets.
- Without unify-8859-on-encoding-mode, composing a Latin-9 reply
- to a Latin-1 posting, say, will produce a multipart posting (a
- Latin-1 part and a Latin-9 part), or perhaps UTF-8. With
- unify-8859-on-encoding-mode, the outgoing posting can be all
- Latin-1 or all Latin-9 in most cases.
-
- It is harmless to turn on unify-8859-on-encoding-mode, but
- unify-8859-on-decoding-mode may unexpectedly change files in
- certain situations. (If the file contains different Latin-N
- charsets which should not be unified.)
-
- This is part of Emacs 21.3 and later, which also turns on
- unify-8859-on-encoding-mode by default.
+ Convert kill files to score files. See (info "(gnus)Converting Kill
+ Files").
vcard.el
-xml.el
-
- This is used for parsing RSS feeds. Part of Emacs 21.3 and
- later.
